Her Klingon mother and Human father separated when she was quite young; she was raised by her mother on a remote colony far from the Klingon Homeworld. She is tough, knowledgeable and independent, but her mixed heritage has manifested itself in a state of confusion and denial. Now that B'Elanna is unable to release her frustrations through fighting the Cardassians, she must learn to accept herself and her conflicting heritage.
