Your name is Kahsahdee, and it was the defeat of your half-sister Shahna that led to your freedom.
You were eight years old and being raised with other thralls roughly your age by drill thralls. You had been separated from your biological mother at age five, who died within a year of returning to the arena.
Thrall education focused primarily on learning how to fight and survive. You never gave much thought to life, other than acknowledging it was short and violent. But such was the life of a thrall.
Then your half-sister was defeated by James Kirk, and this led to the freedom of all thralls.
You never knew you and Shahna shared a father. As a thrall, you only knew your mother, and her only for a few years. But once all thralls were granted their freedom, you and Shahna found each other.
Shahna became the mother you never knew you needed. You learned your father had died in the arena shortly after siring you. Perhaps this was a good thing. Because one thing a female thrall could do now was refuse selection. You got to drive this point home emphatically not long after your fifteenth birthday.
Taking care of you awakened a maternal instinct in Shahna, and she was a foster mother to a number of other thrall children before having three of her own.
You, however, took up Shanna’s dream of going to the stars. You learned everything you could from the education system set up by your former masters. You also kept up your thrall combat training.
When you turned eighteen, it was clear that you and Shahna were sisters, though there were some differences. You were a couple of centimeters taller than your sister, as well as bosomier. Your face wasn’t quite as chiseled as Shahna’s, and your hair was a deep burgundy in color, as well as being longer and not stiff. You also possessed greater strength and reflexes than your sister and most other humanoids. But there was no denying you were sisters.
Triskelion played host to several experts from the Federation, and you devoured any literature and history they provided you. There was one figure you became particularly interested in.
Thralls were issued one name, and that was all a thrall would ever need. But you decided to use Kahsahdee as your surname. Your given name, the name you would give yourself, would be the name of the literary figure you became enamored with. At the Academy, you would be Cadet ___________ Kahsahdee.
