Lwaxana Troi was a telepathic Betazoid from the planet Betazed. Lwaxana's titles included Daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed (Lwaxana would later admit to keeping the Rings in a dusty closet) and Ambassadorof the Betazed government.
Early life
Lwaxana's father was something of a traditionalist; he rarely spoke, preferring telepathy, saying speech was for "offworlders and people who didn't know any better." Both of Lwaxana's parents and sister had died by 2372. (TNG episode: "Eye of the Beholder"; DS9 episode: "The Muse")
Ian Troi
Lwaxana married Starfleet officer, Lieutenant Ian Troi, Science officer of the USS Carthage, in the year 2328. Their wedding was held in Byram Hall on Betazed. (TNG novel: A Time for War, A Time for Peace) The couple had their first child, Kestra, the next year.
In 2336, several months after the couple's second child Deanna was born, Kestra drowned in Lake El-Nar. Lwaxana blamed herself for Kestra's death and she blocked all memories involving Kestra for almost 35 years.
Ian Troi was killed in the line of duty in the year 2343 on the planet Raknal V, when a building damaged by Romulan sabotage collapsed on him. Ian was with family friend Lieutenant Elias Vaughn when he died. (ST - The Lost Era novel: The Art of the Impossible)
Deanna
After Ian's death, Deanna became the center of Lwaxana's existence as she prepared her daughter for a life as a Betazed noble.
When Deanna became involved with Starfleet officer, Lieutenant William T. Riker in the year 2354, Lwaxana objected strenuously, perhaps believing that Deanna was setting herself up for the same kind of pain she experienced when Ian died. In later years, Lwaxana would claim that she had always adored Riker.
Deanna ignored her mother and went to Riker anyway. In any event, the relationship was short-lived as Riker was not emotionally mature enough for the kind of relationship Deanna wanted. Soon after, Lwaxana gave Deanna her blessing when she decided to follow her father's career path and enter Starfleet Academy. (TNG novel: Imzadi)
Ambassador Troi
Soon after Deanna left for the Academy, Lwaxana became an Ambassador for the government of Betazed. Her duties took her all over the Federation. Whenever possible, she would visit Deanna, who had become Head Counselor on the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D).
The Insolence of Office.
On one such visit in 2366, Lwaxana formed a romantic attachment to the omnipotent being known as Q. At first, Q seemed to return the feelings, even to the point of sharing his power with her. In truth, Q was just using Lwaxana in an experiment designed to prove the worthlessness of the human emotion love. Q was initially prevented from removing Lwaxana's power by another member of the Q Continuum, who allowed Lwaxana to use the power to teach Q a lesson about interfering in people lives. He identified himself as a, "Q, too." When she mistakenly referred to him as "QTwo"-he accepts. (TNG novel: Q-in-Law)
In 2369 Lwaxana formed a close friendship with the Changeling Odo while on starbase Deep Space 9. When Lwaxana became pregnant by the Tavnian, Jeyal, in 2372, she and Odo were married to prevent Jeyal from taking the child away from Lwaxana upon his birth, according to Tavnian tradition. (DS9 episode: "The Muse")
After a further unsuccessful attempt by the Tavnian government to seize custody of the child, Lwaxana gave birth to her first son Barin, Tavnian for "Little One", on Betazed in late 2372. (TNGeBook: The Insolence of Office)
Marvel comic, Deep Space Nine#10, Lwaxana Troi and the Wedding of Doom.
In 2373, Lwaxana, with Barin, returned to the station seeking a divorce from Odo so that she could marry a Bolian named Var Ulos. Lwaxana canceled the wedding after discovering that Ulos was using a telepathic suppressor to keep Lwaxana from realizing that he was only marrying her for her money. While on the station, Lwaxana confronted a creature that was stalking the station's women that lived off of female hormones. The creature overloaded on Lwaxana and was killed. (DS9 comics: "Lwaxana Troi and the Wedding of Doom", "Four Funerals and a Wedding")
