Lesanya Barel

Lesanya Barel was a Romulan centurion and political advocate for the Romulan/Vulcan reunification.

Lesanya Barel was born in 2293 to Pashrik and Mora Siden, Romulan operatives who were posing as Vulcans. They were onboard a colony ship to Ciris 7 along the Neutral Zone, when the ship's warp coils were sabotaged and the ship was drawn into the planet's gravity. A starship was able to beam out some of the crew, including Lesanya, but her parents were killed.

No one knew anything about Lesanya and her parents, so she was given over to the Vulcan Embassy. She was adopted by Keira Standish, who took her to Romulus. Lesanya did not remember her parents, and thought of Keira as the only mother she'd ever had. They lived as peasants in a small village in the Romulan countryside.

When Lesanya was twelve, Keira took her to the capital of Romulus, and left her in the care of her cousin, S'lun Barel.
