Background	Elena was born to Charlie Turner and Amanda on Meridian Prime. They lived outside a simple village. Charlie was a hard working farmer and hunter who provided vegetables and sometimes meat to the local population. Amanda took care of the house, helped with the farm and tended her herb garden. The birth of Elena had been very difficult. The doctor told Amanda she would be unable to have any more children. Elena was a very curious child and loved to wander through the town and the woods behind their home. In the winter she listened as her mother as she taught her everything she knew about herbs and their healing properties. She also helped many in the village. When she was nine years old, her father took her hunting and taught her how to track animals and to shoot a crossbow. She soon became an excellent marksman. On her sixteenth birthday her father gave her a special crossbow he had crafted out of a metal alloy. Along with several arrows. Three months after her birthday Elena left one morning for a hunting trip. She was gone much longer than she had expected. As she neared her home she saw a black smoke covering the area. Elena started running. Her home was in flames. She rounded the corner and saw a Cardassian assaulting her mother. Elena grabbed an arrow and shot the Cardassian through the back. She retrieved her arrow and grabbed the man's weapon. Before the sun had set Elena had killed 10 Cardassians plundering the village.
