Kalii Ryleth is the mother of Shylea L'Naym , a major character in my AU Star Trek New Start saga'.

Kalii was an irrigator and hydrologist, tasks highly esteemed on the desert world of Nlia.
She was born to the scout/waterfinder, Nyshon Ryleth and the scout Faroma Cavee .
 


She had a younger sisterBrimyl Ryleth  



From the start Kalii was calm and self confident.  She was very mature for her age and a bit of an old soul. She had a strong will and could be very passionate, but she also possessed a cool, steady demeanor and a seemingly endless supply of patience. Highly proficient and with a strong work ethic, she never half attempted anything and loved a challenge.

She had a very sharp eye for the things going on around her and was very good at seeing beneath the surface, in both circumstances and people. Although a quiet person she enjoyed interacting with other people and had a beautiful singing voice.

Although her father was from a nomadic tribe and her mother a scout, Kalii, preferred the city life. However she loved the outdoors and had a deep interest in the inner workings of nature. From her father she inherited a love of water and upon adulthood began a career as a hydrologist.

For thousands of years water had more valuable than gold in the Southern Lands of Nlia and tasks involving the finding and management of it were among the most highly esteemed. Kalii became a noted hydrologist and was highly sought out for her skills at irrigation. Making the deserts bloom and bringing refreshment to others were her greatest joys. 

And she brought refreshment in many other ways as well. With her cool, steady temperament she was as soothing to others as a cool drink and her calmness and wisdom made her a skilled mediator whose counsel aided many.

Her work took her to many areas on Nlia and in 2229 when she was 27, she was involved in an extended project in Khasha, the famous City of Steel. During the project she worked closely with the Zoresha one of Khasha's oldest and most esteemed metal-working guilds. While there she met  Farseen L'Naym a junior member. 



Farseen was a brilliant metal-worker/craftsman and filled with inner fire. She immediately found herself drawn to his inner flame and he to her refreshing spirit. They quickly started working on projects together and that comprised their early courtship. They would later laughingly say that it was an odd courtship indeed; instead of the usual exchanging of gifts and trinkets, they exchanged heat and water. She basked in the heat of his flame and he in her cool inner waters.
 
They were opposites in many ways; Farseen was a man of fire and steel, while Kalii was a woman of water. He was happiest at the forge while she was happiest outside. He was intense and passionate, while she was cool and steady. But they complemented each other well; Farseen often said that she was a strong, cool steel that could withstand the hottest fire and a cool stream that could douse a flame before it became too hot. 
 
They lifemated in 2232 and the next two years were joyful. Their love for each other was fierce and whole-hearted and they delighted in each other. He was her Life Flame whose fire brought light to her life and she was his beloved Water Queen who brought nourishment to his soul.

They also poured their passion into their work: Farseen rose through the ranks of the Zoresha ultimately becoming a junior head. Kalii, although, she still traveled, settled in Khasha working to bring the gift of water to her new home.

In late 2234 the Mating struck and both were overjoyed. It struck during a twilight, Kalii's favorite time of day and a time that was viewed as special, almost magical by most Nlians. 

The months that followed were the happiest of their lives together as they eagerly anticipated becoming parents.


But then tragedy struck. During the seventh month of her pregnancy Kalii contracted Lungarus Syndrome, an extremely rare but highly dangerous disease that effectively shuts down the victim's respiratory and cardiovascular systems.

The disease weakened her terribly. Three months in the hospital and all of the healers’ efforts to treat her failed. Her greatest fear, however was for her child. Her womb's natural defenses would protect the baby from the disease, but due to the strong vascular link between a Nlian mother and her unborn, if Kalii died before her child was born, it would die too. Due to the link it couldn't be removed and placed in an artificial womb either.

For three months Kalii heroically fought to stay alive. Even after it became obvious that she had no hope of survival, she fought to live long enough to safely give birth.

Finally in 2235, during another twilight, she gave birth to a healthy baby girl. She named her  Shylea, 'Twilight's Gift.'

Two days after her child’s birth, she insisted on leaving the hospital, wanting to spend her last days at home. A week after the birth of her daughter, Kalii departed from this life surrounded by her family. But she left behind a daughter who would have an incredible destiny and would go on to befriend one of Starfleet's most famous Captains.

Why are all of your characters so heroic and sad? I don't need to cry every day... just some days! I love her story, so strong and passionate and then dead, after heroically keeping herself alive long enough to give birth!  

I mean, we all die, but this is just too tragic!

When I wrote about her I was thinking of studies I'd heard about women who suffer from cancer while pregnant.
Tragedies like hers are all too frequent.

Shylea and Jim have something in common: they both lost a parent, but that parent died saving them.

This might cheer you up. It shows someone very important to Shylea

I have read about a lady who refused all cancer treatment (she could have easily lived five more years) because it would have killed her unborn child, so she delivered her daughter and died of the cancer just a bit later.

My great Aunt died of cancer.
I had a breast cancer scare a few years ago.

That's is sad and scary, my Grandma had breast cancer and some other lymphoma not associated with the breast cancer, but she's been free from both for 5 or 7 years now. 

I hope you live strong and healthy!

She sounds like a very pleasant woman, it's a shame that she died before she could meet her daughter.

Excellent Job!!!  I really love the fact that you created this character on your own using Azalea's Dolls and for the record I also really enjoy it! Also, Kalii Ryleth personal information was extremely well thought out; I really impressed with this art piece.

Your Shylea has quite a heritage. Maybe you could use flashbacks, etc. to explore her background more. And a thought, what if Kalii left behind messages for her daughter? I've heard of parents who do that for their children and grandchildren. Perhaps Kalli left a message for Shylea to be revealed after she's become a mother.

Very intriguing...so Nilan couples can sense the optimum moment for conception? I guess in a harsh environment with constant demands, knowing the best moment would be desirable.
