Early Life
Trinian is a Seatellan, an exceptionally long-lived species along the same lines as the El-Aurians. In her youth, Trinian spent several years on Earth masquerading as Trina Smith, a student at Old Dominion University. There she met and fell in love with that century's Alexander Rydell. After graduation, the two married and had two kids, a girl and a boy. Soon after the birth of their second child, Trina disappeared without a trace. She never told Alex about her real identity. (Sensitivity 101 [TRK], The Way We Were [WAY])
Career With Guardian Control
Like most Seatellans, Trinian joined Guardian Control when she was older. For eons, the Seatellans had worked side-by-side with the Guardians of Forever to protect time and space throughout the universe. She was eventually assigned to join the crew of the USS Secondprize and keep an eye on Captain Alexander Rydell, who was actually her own great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandson...give or take a great or two. Another Seatellan, Morticent, opposed this posting due to Trinian's connection to Rydell, but Guardian Control felt this connection would give her further impetus to make sure he didn't come to any harm. Guardian Control was concerned about Rydell since their research had shown that sometime in the future he would very likely cause the destruction of the universe.
On The USS Secondprize
Trinian easily got a job running the Secondprize's lounge, Seven Backward. No one else even applied. She didn't particularly enjoy listening to the ramblings of the Secondprize crew, but she found herself becoming more involved with them than she thought she would. Conversely, the crew came to appreciate her acerbic style of bartending. She went so far as to retake the ship single-handedly when Dr. Rebecca Singer became convinced she was James T. Kirk and attempted to steal the Secondprize from Spacedock. (Star Traks 3 [TRK]) After Rydell swapped bodies with the 20th century Alex Rydell, Trinian revealed her relationship to him. Her knowledge of that time period also helped Rydell pin down when Singer would arrive in the 20th century in her insane attempt to capture 20th century Alex. (Sensitivity 101, Star Traks 6 [TRK]) Throughout all of this, she also offered relationship advice to Patricia Hawkins, career advice to Lisa Beck, and insults to whoever annoyed her.
After over four years straight of being on the ship and dealing with threats that the rest of the crew never even knew about, including a particularly stressful run-in with a horde of psionic parasites, Trinian finally decided to take a short vacation on Betazed. Of course, that was the week Rydell found Forever and started the countdown to destroy the universe. With only ten years left to live, Trinian set out to see as many of the wonders of the universe as she could. Ten years later, Guardian Control ordered her to get to Forever and help Rydell, since there was a chance he could stop the destruction of the universe. Trinian got a ship from Bradley Dillon, made her way to Deneria Dry Dock, and convinced Captain Emily Sullivan to take her to Forever. Their ship, the USS Inevitable, arrived in time to prevent Morticent from completely destroying the Secondprize. All three ships were eventually disabled, and Trinian boarded Morticent's ship with Beck, Andrea Carr, and Sullivan to stop Morticent. After Rydell stopped Forever, Trinian took Morticent and Guardian #492 back to face Guardian Control. (The Star Traks Reunion Special, Please Hold For Oblivion [TRK])
