Family[]
T'Pris was the daughter of Sirak and T'Dar. She had a husband named Sepel who had been one of her close childhood friends and whose death in 2252 had devastated her. (TOS novel: Vulcan's Glory)
Description[]
Meeting T'Pris in the year 2253, Spock found her to be striking. She had brown eyes, was taller than most Vulcan women, and braided her pitch-black hair about her head into a crown. To Spock, she subtly smelled of clean Vulcan herbal soap. He mused that she was "less well-endowed in her figure than T'Pring", and was "slender and upright as a young willow". T'Pris had a classic Vulcan beauty, and moved with the graceful gentle glide of a Vulcan woman who'd been classically trained in the ancient ways since childhood. (TOS novel: Vulcan's Glory)
Biography[]
T'Pris was an astrobiologist who had excellent academic achievement marks and a commendable four-year service record by 2253. (TOS novel: Vulcan's Glory)
- Presumably meaning her service record began in 2249.
When T'Pris and her husband, Lieutenant Sepel, were serving together aboard the USS Musashi in 2252, her husband was killed in a violent alien encounter when his landing party was ambushed on Lindoria. (TOS novel: Vulcan's Glory)
In 2253, T'Pris held the rank of Lieutenant and reported in from service aboard the Musashi to the Federation starship USS Enterprise where she served as a science officer. While serving on the Enterprise, she met a young Mr. Spock, who had just recently been promoted to Lieutenant and had also just been posted to the Enterprise. After some time, the two began a romantic relationship, and Spock briefly considered dissolving the bond he had with his betrothed back home, T'Pring. T'Pris accompanied Spock on a mission to retrieve Vulcan's Glory. (TOS novel: Vulcan's Glory)
Shortly after recovering the Vulcan's Glory, T'Pris was murdered by Lieutenant Daniel Reed, a human crewmember with 1/8 Vulcan blood, whose maternal great-grandmother had been disgraced when the Glory had originally been lost. (TOS novel: Vulcan's Glory)
