Though heartbreak is not formally on his death certificate, it was clear that his love for her was powerful. | |

| Personal History | Phaedrae was a surprise-child born to Fotis and Tosoula many years after they were done trying to have children. Since her older brother was headed out of the home by the time she was born, her youth was that of an only-child and she received a lot of attention from her parents. She excelled in school and was good at making friends when changing homes. She took dance and swimming lessons as extracurriculars. She liked to swim much more than dance but continued to do both until her early teens. When she was fifteen, she was planet side with her mother when they were attacked. It was an attempt to abduct Tasoula, but it didn’t go as planned. Tasoula was able to escape and was presumed dead by the abductor. Unfortunately, Phaedrae was not able to run far enough away. Phaedrae was missing for a year. In that time, both of her parents died. She went to live with her brother until leaving for Starfleet Academy. While at the Academy, she also applied to the Trill Symbiosis Commission. She was accepted to the program and was joined to the Cyn symbiont shortly after her graduation from Starfleet Academy. |

| Service Record | Phaedrae enrolled in the sciences initially at the Academy and found that she enjoyed the thrill of investigating unexpected events more than running long laboratory experiments. She adjusted her focus and found more courses which led her into the field of an intelligence officer. After leaving the Academy, her first assignments were small and inconsequential, though she continued to learn from her experiences. Over time, she was more involved in larger assignments. She has served on many different Starships through the years as well as going undercover on occasion. |
