History: valQIS was born on Qo'noS, the Klingon home world. Her mother, mara, daughter of Qel, had just recently returned from a trip to Earth. While there she had had a short lived affair with James Smith. When he refused to marry her she left him, and found herself with a pregnancy on her hands.
When valQIS was ten mara died in a battle with a member of a rival house. Having no other living relatives, valQIS, daughter of mara, was forced to live with her blood-father on Earth. While there she took on the name of Smith, for ease, although she never embraced the Terran half of her heritage. When she was 18 she joined the Academy. Upon her graduation she was assigned to the USS Saturn, where she took on the position of transporter chief.
Do to her history, valQIS is fluent in both Klingon and Federation Standard.
A rough guide to pronunciation:
valQIS sounds roughly like Valkris.
mara is pronunced as it is spelled. The "r" is very light.
Qel sounds something like Krel.
