B'Elanna Torres

Early Life and Career
B'Elanna Torres, daughter of John Marcus Torres and Miral Torres, was born on Kessik IV in 2349. Due to the current tensions between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, B'Elanna and Miral were the only Klingons that resided on Kessik IV, which caused some friction between Miral and John.
 * In the novel Pathways B'Elanna's mother is named Prabsa and her homeworld is called Nessik. However, canon sources later specified them as "Miral" and "Kessik IV", so those are used here.

In 2354, when she was five years old, B'Elanna saved the life of Erva Konal in a fire-chute cavern on Kessik. Shortly after, John Torres left the colony for Earth leaving B'Elanna and her mother behind. Young B'Elanna didn't understand why her father left and spent years blaming his leaving on her Klingon appearence and attempted to make herself more human.

At age 18 (in 2367), B'Elanna entered Starfleet Academy. B'Elanna soon found it that she was not prepared for the rigid structure and rules of Academy life and left the Academy in her second year. While at the Academy, she breifly dated one of her few friends there, Max Burke, who also contemplated leaving.

(VGR episodes: "Faces" and "Barge of the Dead"; and novels: Pathways and Her Klingon Soul).

The Maquis
Torres later joined the Maquis after leaving Starfleet, and they would become the closest thing to family she had. Torres would work under the leadership of Chakotay.

Chakotay once taught her to speak to her "animal guide". However, she decided to stop trying to speak with it when she tried to kill it. 

In 2371, when their ship, the Val Jean, was being chased into the Badlands by Gul Evek's flagship, the Vetar, it was mysteriously transported to the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker-entity. After the crew was subjected to a painful examination, the crews of Voyager and the Maquis vessel were returned to their ships, with the exception of B'Elanna and Harry Kim, who were sent by the Caretaker to an Ocampa settlement beneath the surface of a planet, where they were told that they were dying and needed medical care. Torres refused to cooperate and attempted to escape. Both were rescued by the crews of Voyager and the Maquis. The Val Jean would be later destroyed and its crew, including Torres, joined the Federation starship, USS Voyager. 

Aboard the USS Voyager
Torres was given the honorary rank of Lieutenant junior grade. She was named chief engineer shortly after joining Voyager 's crew. She became romantically involved with Lieutenant Tom Paris in 2374, and married him in 2377. She gave birth to her child, Miral Paris, as the Voyager was returning to the Alpha Quadrant.

Life After Voyager
Upon return to the Alpha Quadrant, Torres was promoted to Lieutenant Commander. She then went to the planet Boreth to find her mother, Miral. She eventually found her, and the two began rapproachment, when Miral was killed by a wild animal. After reuniting with her husband and daughter, the family moved to Boreth to pursue prophecies about the infant. (VOY novels Homecoming, The Farther Shore, Old Wounds, Enemy of My Enemy)
