Personal History		Vila was born on Bajor during the Occupation. Her father was a fighter, and her mother was a teacher until the Dominion destroyed their home. They were fleeing often, seeking refuge often underground or in places where the Cardassians hadn’t yet made inroads-such as far flung villages in Hathon, and the Southern Islands. When she was eight years old, the family was finally found and captured, and placed in an internment/labor camp. Being a young woman, she was mostly spared the indignities that come with forced labor, but she DID have to do menial physical tasks, such as sweep or mop the cemented floors of the camp's bunk rooms, assist in the replimats with cleaning, or in the sickbay, cleaning up blood, vomit, etc. Being so young, the abject poverty and humiliation caused trauma, of course-she still occasionally has flashbacks but consistently sees a counselor. Her father was killed in action fighting in the militia, alongside herself and her eldest brother. When she was 19, Noxi met and married a Terran man, Ben Johnson. He was in the Academy, and his cadet cruise had come through the Wormhole on thier way back, and stopped at DS9 just after the Bajorans had won it back, and they'd married in a week. She saw him as a way "out" of Bajor, and the traumas she faced. Later, she joined the Academy herself, majoring in Science, with a specialty in Chemistry. She struggled a bit with the demands of "traditional" school/life, but was able to make it through and graduate. Her first posting was harder still-she was unused to the formalities of ship life-however, she was able to connect with a counselor she trusted and it really helped her to get better and make some healthier life choices. She has a small "record" of write ups for sassing her commanding officers, and even one for dereliction of duty-though she still maintains that she was justified. She was leading a small team to investigate and ferret out a few non-corporeal beings who had taken over the minds of a group of Roma Magna citizens, and was conducting ritualistic-cult like sacrifices of these people. The team infiltrated, was discovered when Vila spoke too loudly into her subdermal transponder, and were beaten and nearly killed. She took the brunt of the attack-saving the other two officers she was with-but after her release from medical, she was put up for Captain's Mast, and lost time-in-rank for 6 months. She is also struggling with a crisis of faith-if the Prophets were so great, WHY was an 8 year old child subjected to such horror? Also, why hasn't Bajor joined the Federation yet? The Federation saved her life (or so she believes), and this anger, justified or not, drives her actions. One of her biggest obstacles for herself is the fact that she is simply unable to save everyone, and that doesn't sit well with whatever sense of justice she still has.
