Names & Information About Your Parent(s):
DH: Declan Amadeus O'Connell (29)
DW: Dr. Eliora Tikva Cohen "Liora" (24)
Declan O'Connell was born to a young mother and father, barely a year out of high school. At the time, his father Rory was newly enlisted in the US Army and was serving overseas. His mother Brighid, whose own family wasn't very accepting of the young couple, moved in with Rory's parents. She was scared about being a young mother, but Rory's parents were incredibly supportive and Rory was a great help when he was home from his duties. Declan's middle name was due to the music she listened to to calm herself down when she was pregnant. When Declan was done with HIS high school career, he was unsure of what he wanted to do. So, he worked for a few years, interning at an architectural firm before deciding to attend Harvard and concentrate on a future in the field.
Eliora Cohen's young childhood was quite a bit rougher then Declan's. She was born in Israel, where her mother died in childbirth. Her father Gideon raised her by himself, doing well for almost four years. Barely six months before she was to turn four, Gideon was diagnosed with a very serious malignant brain tumor and given only six months to live. Having no immediate family left, Gideon was unsure of what to do. He finally decided to call his best friend from his days in the Israeli army, Ariel Roth, who was living in Virginia with his wife Julia and their adoptive son Misha. The Roth family came to stay with Gideon and Eliora in Israel for Gideon's last few months. He passed away a few weeks after Eliora's fourth birthday. Once the little girl had some time to adjust to the death, she went with the Roths back to Virginia. 12 years later, 16-year-old Liora was a relatively well-adjusted teenager with just a few occasional lingering emotional issues from her father's death. She grew into an incredibly intelligent young lady, skipping two grades to graduate high school at age 16. Her next step was to attend Harvard to study medicine.
