Jana Tren was a Betazoid graduate of Starfleet Academy and girlfriend of Michael Owens. Even though born on Betazed, Jana Tren spent much of her life in San Francisco on Earth as the daughter of a Starfleet officer and Academy instructor. She met Michael Owens shortly after his arrival in San Francisco in 2352. Owens first noticed her watching the sea on the Golden Gate bridge but was too shy to speak to her. She would later take the initiative and approach the then insecure cadet, signaling the beginning of their four-year long relationship.
