====== Background ====== 

==== Early Life ====
Raq'n was born early during a crisis when his mother [[B'ri Dai'z]], and future guardian [[Aina]], were involved in an [[aero]] accident. Following his birth and naming, his mother died.

Raq'n was born with an almost pure Arctic pelage which Aina immediately began obfuscating with dyes, as Arctic Kit are often seized by the state.

==== Personal Life====
Like man [[kit|Kit]], Raq'n seeks connection and physical contact with others. Despite his desire for closeness, Aina has taken great pains to ensure his exposure to his kind is limited or heavily supervised. Although he now spends the majority of his time with Humanoids, Raq'n still gravitates toward his people, when he can.

==== 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]].
