#### Candace (ProMum)

Instead of parents, all wards of Hospital Earth are assigned a ProMum and a ProDad, short for Professional Mother and Professional Father. ProParents must spend two hours a week with each of their ProChildren, they have vast advocacy power on behalf of their ProChildren, and it is a lifelong commitment. Candace is Jarra's ProMum, with whom Jarra has a very close relationship. Candace often must strike a balance between being as supportive as she can to Jarra and protecting her from the potential consequences of her many reckless endeavors.

#### Unnamed ProDad

Jarra had a falling out with her ProDad when she was 11 and passed the necessary safety tests to go on a dig site with the senior history club, but he refused to give consent, saying the issue could be revisited when she turned 16. Jarra forged his consent and went anyway. When he found out, there was a big fight and Jarra refused to have anything more to do with him. They had little contact after that incident. Notably, her ProDad visits her after her leg injury during the Solar 5 Rescue, but only to ensure that he continues being employed as her ProDad.

Later, after Jarra became famous, he sold her contact information to the newsies. Major Rayne Tar Cameron discovered what he had done and was ready to shoot him for all of the problems he caused her staff, but instead Hospital Earth removed him from being a ProDad.

#### Next Step Peers

Hospital Earth keeps groups of children together through Nursery, Home, and Next Step in order to create a surrogate family unit. Jarra had eight peers in her group:

They were all together at Home E161/8822 then on to Next Step E241/1089

### Tell Clan

In *Earth Star*, Jarra learns that she was born into a Betan Military Tell Clan founded by Tellon Blaze, widely regarded as one of humanity's greatest heroes.

She was born Jarra Tell Feren. Her mother, Gemena Ray Feren, was a member of the Ray clan, and her father, Marack Tell Galad, was a member of the Tell clan. Both parents were Military colonels in the Planet First Division. When Jarra was born in 2771, they already had two children, Jaxon and Gemelle. Military families typically only have two children close in age, but when Marack's mother, Jarra Tell Morrath, was killed on a Planet First assignment in 2769, they decided to have an Honor Child for her. Jarra would keep the surname Tell Feren until her 18th birthday, when an Honor Ceremony would take place and her name would change to Jarra Tell Morrath.

Jarra was born with Immune Syndrome and ended up being raised as a ward of Hospital Earth. Though her parents and clan did not want to give up custody, her brother was opposed to moving to Earth, and threatened to commit suicide if he was forced to. By the time he agrees to the move, the deadline to claim custody has already passed, and the Tell clan is unsuccessful in locating Jarra. As a result, Jarra does not make contact with her clan until age 18, and her surname until her Honor Ceremony in *Earth Girl* is Reeath. *(The events immediately surrounding Jarra's birth are detailed in Hestia 2781 and Array 2781)*

Both of Jarra's parents are killed while commanding a Planet First team on K19448 in Kappa Sector in 2789.

Such a behavior event occurred on K19448, where Jarra's parents were in the rearguard ensuring that everyone else made it through the portal, and they were killed before they themselves could escape. Their death happened c. Feb/Mar of 2789. Jarra had exchanged one phone call with them three days before they were killed.

Jarra has a large, extended family through the Tell clan. She becomes close with her second cousin, Drago Tell Dramis. Her first cousin once removed and Drago's father, Dragon Tell Dramis, is the General who informs her of her parents' death.

General Riak Torrek had a triad marriage with Jarra's grandmother and another Tell clan member named Bard, who was also killed in 2769. They had three children: Seanna, Benard, and Marack.

When Jarra sees on the Tell Clan family tree that her grandmother was in a triad marriage with two men and that General Torrek's surname does not match her father's, she assumes that General Torrek is not her biological grandfather. Notably, she closes her eyes before she sees Bard's surname, which is not yet known. In the short story Kappa 2788, Torrek reveals that he and Bard decided on Galad as the male surname for their triad marriage, which would be the surname passed down to any male children. As such, Bard's surname is likely not Tell Galad either.

The conclusion that General Torrek is not her biological grandfather, while potentially true, is not yet objectively confirmed outside of Jarra's perception.

Betan custom dictates that all all members of a triad marriage are equally parents of any children they may have, regardless of genetic relation. However, as Jarra was raised on Earth with a lack of biological family members in her life and does not believe she is biologically related to Riak, she struggles to view him as her grandfather.
