Born and raised in Chicago, Treesa and her twin brother Gideon were inseperatable.  They both had dreampt of attending the Juliart School of Dance.  They were on their way; at the age of 16, they had been accepted into Juliart until the fatefull day that would forever alter Treesa's path through life.  Center stage of The Illiniois Center for Performing Arts, the pair had been seconds from completing a dance duet before a full house when the rigging holding hundreds of pounds of lighting equipment fifty feet above the stage gave way with a thunderous groan.  The rigging hit the ground nearly instantly, crushing Gideon beneath it.  Treesa was, though physically spared, would never be the same.  She abandoned her dreams of dancing, her family but would forever be haunted by the memory of her brother.  She took the first chance should could think of to get away from Earth.  She headed to Starfleet, and away from her pain.  Once at the Academy, she soon found herself avoiding friendships at all costs and majored in Intelligence and specializing in infiltration thinking it would lead her to a life of solitude deep in the confines of an intell office or alone deep behind enemy lines.  Trying to blend in with the crowd, she rarely fully applied herself to her studies.  Her attempts were however in vain.  Her elusive behavior soon caught the attention of her instructors.  They began manipulating her much the way an agent handles their informants.  She began to excel in all of her classes and moved from the bottom third of her class to the top fifteen percent.
