Failing to make any meaningful inroads in the cutthroat city politics, the Q'gan family moved to the outer districts where impoverished Kit live. Despite financial disadvantages, food and housing insecurities, and limited access to formal education, Aina was an avid bibliophile, consuming books almost as quickly as her family could find them. With the support of her family, Aina was able to apprentice herself as a clerk, then administrative assistant, and finally a household manager for [[Matron Dai'zi]]. ==== Personal Life==== While working in the Dai'zi household, Aina befriended [[B'ri Dai'zi]] who had recently been married into the house. Late in B'ri's pregnancy, Aina, B'ri, and their chauffeur were involved in an [[aero]] accident which killed the pilot and caused B'ri to go into labor. Aina helped deliver the kit, however one tog would be born completely Arctic. B'ri named him [[Raq'n]] shortly before succumbing to her wounds. Out of the litter, only Raq'n survived. She began dying his fur black to hide his true pelage, then claimed him as her [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_(law)|ward]]. Aina is a [[lcars:kit#proximity|Zl’aslan]], a type of Kit which lacks the biological imperative to be in proximity to other Kit every hour, a fact she has kept secret for much of her life. ==== Asylum in the Federation ==== Following [[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/First_contact|first contact]] with the Federation, Aina learned that Federation society consistent of mostly solitary species who worked together despite their differences. In 2424, she smuggled herself and Raq'n to a Federation Starbase where she presented herself to the Starfleet staff as a refugee and requested asylum. At the local magistrate hearing, Aina presented detailed evidence of the reeducation facilities a [[Zl’aslan]] like herself would be subjected to, and that she would lose Raq'n who she had raised from a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_fox#Terminology|kit]]. Based on her testimony, she and her Raq'n were offered [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporary_resident|temporary residency]] status. The pair then traveled to Earth where they initially settled in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver|Vancouver, Earth]]. ====== Timeline ====== | 2412 | Born | | 2416 | Begins apprenticing as a clerk | | 2418 | Starts working for [[Matron Dai'zi]] | | 2420 | Assists in the birth of [[Raq'n]] | | 2424 | Leaves the [[Kit Commune]] for the Federation | | 2424 | Receives temporary residency status in the Federation | | 2425 | Begins working for the [[Kit Biosphere Restoration Project]] | | 2426 | Relocates with Raq'n to [[Gretchen Park]] | {{tag>personnel kit federation}}
