### Gender

Female

Commander Reyna Bayani Sanchez was a female Human in the mid-23rd century. She was originally a Starfleet officer before becoming the Ambassadorial Aide to T'se. She returned to Starfleet for the five year commission of the USS Artemis.

## Early Life

Reyna Mayari Bayani Sanchez was born in the outskirts of Cebu City, Republic of the Philippines on the 4th of July, 2221. She had one older sister, Ciela Sanchez, and one younger sister; Marisol Sanchez. Her parents were both officers in Starfleet. They attended church every Sunday. (ART: "Roaring Seas and Dark Mountains")

In her youth, Sanchez studied many languages, including alien ones, in order to become a Communications Officer like her mother (ART: "Cautious Are The Wise").

Her father taught her how to navigate with the stars while sailing. (ART: "Roaring Seas and Dark Mountains")

Her eldest sister left for Starfleet Academy when Sanchez was 13.

## Starfleet Career

### Cadet at Starfleet Academy

Sanchez joined Starfleet Academy at age 17, on the Communications Track. Three months into her first year, her mother was killed during an away mission that went awry. Sanchez almost dropped out of Starfleet but was convinced to stay by her father. She changed tracks from Communications to Command. (ART: "Cautious Are The Wise")

In her third year, she met Nausikaa Jacobi in a motorcycle crash. They met again when Sanchez was looking for a Vulcan-language teacher. Jacobi gave her the contact information of T'se. Sanchez began taking Vulcan lessons from T'se, providing lessons in Bisaya in exchange. (ART: "Roaring Seas and Dark Mountains")

She graduated in 2241, with the rank of Ensign. She was extremely proficient in Astronavigation.

### USS *Kore*

Sanchez's first assignment after graduating was to the USS *Kore*, as junior navigator. She served alongside then-Lieutenant T'se and they two became close friends, often playing mahjong together. (ART: "We Are Wretched Things")

Sanchez was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade by 2243.

### USS *Tyche*

Sanchez served aboard the USS *Tyche* from 2243 as a Lieutenant. She was the chief navigator. During an away mission, Sanchez was attacked by natives of the planet. She nearly bled out on the transporter room floor but was saved by a combination of T'se's Vulcan strength and Fortuna's medical prowess. She was unconscious for several days after. (ART: "Roaring Seas and Dark Mountains")

Sanchez and T'se entered a romantic relationship shortly after this event. T'se gifted her a mahjong set for their third anniversary. (ART: "We Are Wretched Things")

They were engaged on New Year's Eve, 2246 and were married in the summer of 2247. (ART: "They Did Not Know Her")

Sanchez was promoted to Lieutenant Commander by 2245.

### Departure from Starfleet

T'se and Sanchez returned to Shi'Kar after the *kal-if-fee* between T'se and Soval, taking indefinite leave from Starfleet. She became an ambassador aide to T'se as well as a pilot. The Sanchezes welcomed their first child, T'Peyra Sanchez, in 2251 and their second, Hanan Sanchez, in 2253. They rarely were in contact with anyone from Starfleet. (ART: "Be Strong, My Heart")

When she was asked to return to Starfleet by Fortuna, she '*cussed [her] out and told [her] to get a grip*'. (ART: "Roaring Seas and Dark Mountains")

### USS *Artemis*

After T'se agreed to return to Starfleet and the USS Artemis, Sanchez felt obligated to return as well. She returned in 2260 and was the First Officer of the Artemis as well as the chief navigator.
