Jara was the daughter of a Terrelian diplomat who was assigned to Vulcan during the mid-23rd century.
Jara was granted a seat at Tuvok's school, after which he developed an emotional attraction toward her – love at first sight. Tuvok was willing to violate every tenet of Vulcan philosophy simply to be near her; unfortunately, Jara did not return Tuvok's feelings, as she had her own "crush". Despite this Tuvok continued to harbor strong feelings for her and was sent unwillingly to a Vulcan master in order to learn how to better control his emotions.
He later spent several months in isolation studying with a Vulcan master, learning to suppress his emotions. (VOY: "Gravity")
