Deanna was born on
Betazed, the home world
of the Betazoids. Her mother was a native Betazed and her father was a Starfleet
officer assigned to the planet. Her only living relative is her mother, whom she
visits when leave is possible.
 During a previous assignment, she became
intimate friends with William Riker. The relationship ended when he was
reassigned. Riker's reappearance in her life aboard the Enterprise was a shock
for her, and she is slowly adjusting to it.
When the post of Ship's
Counselor became available aboard the new USS Enterprise. She requested
transfer immediately, hoping that this new class and its mission would provide
her with more contacts with other cultures. She was very impressed by Captain
Picard, particularly with his level of emotional control and inner calm.
 Troi fits in well with the multi-racial
environment of the Enterprise,
and enjoys the challenges of service aboard the ship.
As an expert in human
engineering´, Troi is privy to the secrets and fears of all the crew, but she
never abuses this knowledge. She is very circumspect when offering advice to
anyone and will never undermine the authority of the Captain or anyone else in
the chain of command with an ill-phrased suggestion. | |
