Appearance
Tareya Khorlett is strikingly tall and lithe; her athletic build is a testament to years of rigorous physical training. Her sharp cheekbones and piercing eyes give her an air of calculated intensity. The intricate ridges and scales typical of Cardassians frame her face, accentuating her stern demeanor. A prominent blue marking on her forehead—a family trait—reminds her of her heritage, though she rarely speaks of it.
Her long neck, adorned with delicate scale patterns, adds to her regal bearing. Her raven-black hair is typically swept back into a practical yet elegant style. Her movements are precise, almost predatory, reflecting her disciplined nature. Tareya prefers practical attire that allows for ease of movement while maintaining an imposing presence. She favors muted colors that align with her no-nonsense attitude.

History
Born into a family of covert rebels opposing the oppressive regime of the Cardassian Central Command, Tareya Khorlett grew up immersed in a world of secrecy and defiance. However, at 17, she decided to betray her family to the Cardassian government. Whether motivated by a thirst for power, self-preservation, or a complex mixture of both, this act led to the execution of her family. It secured her position as a rising star within the Cardassian Defense Forces.
Her career thrived for years, bolstered by her intelligence, pragmatism, and ruthlessness. However, by 2398, political winds shifted, and rivals who envied her success accused her of false charges. Thanks to the intervention of her godfather, Gul Hasara, Tareya narrowly escaped execution. With his help, she fled Cardassia and began a new life as a mercenary, learning to adapt and survive in unfamiliar and often hostile environments.
In December 2401, Tareya accepted a position as Deputy Operator at Hasara House, a growing business in the rimward sector of Federation space. The role presents her with new challenges and opportunities as she transitions from a life of military and mercenary work to managing operations on a bustling starbase.
