Personal History
Deanna Troi, the second daughter of Lwaxana and Starfleet officer, Ian Andrew Troi, was born on March 29th 2336, on the planet Betazed. Deanna has no memories of her older sister because she died when Deanna was a baby and her mother hid all existance of her. One of Deanna's favorite pastimes growing up was having her father, Ian, read stories to her about Earths ancient west era. Deanna's favorite books were in the Cowboy Ralph series, written by an author named Ernest Pratt. Ian's nickname for Deanna was 'Durango'. The last time Deanna spoke to her father, he promised to return home with a surprise. Sadly, Ian Troi was killed in the line of duty before returning home.
Deanna first met William T. Riker in the year 2354 at the wedding of her friend, Chandra Xerx, when Riker was temporarily assigned to Betazed. Riker actively pursued Deanna, and while the attraction was mutual, Deanna wished for Riker to mature emotionally before getting involved with him. Riker and Troi gave into their mutual passion in the Jalara Jungle after Riker rescued Deanna from a group of Sindareen raiders. At this point, Riker became Deanna's imzadi, or the first to touch her mind and soul. The relationship was short-lived, as Riker tended to focus on his career and still had a roving eye for the ladies. The two parted amicably, without saying "Good-Bye". In 2358, Deanna began a four-month advanced behavioral psychology internship at Darona's prison facility for the criminally insane. During her time at the prison, Deanna studied Hent Tevren, a Betazoid psychopath who had the ability to kill telepathically.
In 2361, Deanna Troi met Will Riker at the Janaran Falls on Betazed.. The two arranged to meet on Risa, six weeks later, but Riker failed to arrive. The two did not see one another until they were both posted aboard the Enterprise-D in 2364. She initially chose not to pursue her old feelings for Will Riker but the feelings were stronger than she realized and they did eventually become romantically involved again.
