	PLAYED BY: Juan García SPECIES: Human Male ohn Torres was the father of B'Elanna Torres and former husband of Miral. He married Miral despite his mother's reservations, and for a few years was happily married. However, the strain of living with two Klingons began to get the better of him, and when B'Elanna was around 11 years old, he left her and her mother, a fact B'Elanna blamed herself for.
	PLAYED BY: Jessica Gaona SPECIES: Human/Klingon Female The alienation continued when her own father began distancing himself from them. At one time, when B'Elanna was on a camping trip with her father, her uncle Carl and her cousins Elizabeth, Dean and Michael, she overheard her father complaining about her, likening her moody and angry behavior to that of her mother's, Miral, and that he had a hard time living with two Klingons. John Torres finally left the Federation colony and traveled back to Earth in 2354, when B'Elanna was five years old, never to return to his family again. For months after, B'Elanna cried herself to sleep every night, wondering what had made her father leave and if it was her fault. However, she never talked about her feelings of guilt and shame to anyone and eventually decided for herself that her father had left because she looked and acted Klingon. These kinds of set backs resulted in B'Elanna developing a thick skin, often punching her way through life. She often blamed her Klingon temper having gotten her in trouble all the time. She even attempted to change her appearance to look more Human; an insecurity that remained with her for most of her life, culminating in her trying to genetically alter all of her unborn child's Klingon features when she was pregnant with her daughter in 2377.
	PLAYED BY: Paul Robert Langdon SPECIES: Human Male Dean and his family went on a fishing trip with his Uncle John and cousin B'Elanna. After fishing, they took a break to have lunch. He somewhat cruelly picked a worm off the ground, and put it on B'Elanna's sandwich, as he said his "teacher told him Klingons like eating live food." B'Elanna got angry and pushed him over, and his older sister yelled at him, telling B'Elanna he does things like this to her all the time. But B'Elanna ran off into the woods angry, and wouldn't return to the camp until after nightfall.
	PLAYED BY: Nicole Sarah Fellows SPECIES: Human Female She went camping with her uncle John and cousin B'Elanna. She went camping often, and her uncle was known for not catching many fish when they went fishing. After her uncle and father went fishing on their own, she and the other kids went fishing in a different section of the lake. After a while, they had lunch, and she gave a sandwich to B'Elanna, trying to be nice to her. But her little brother put a worm on it, and B'Elanna ran off. Elizabeth later apologized for her brother, but B'Elanna was too angry to listen.
	PLAYED BY: Gilbert R. Leal SPECIES: Human Male While on a camping trip with his family, Uncle John, and his cousin B'Elanna, he watched as his brother Dean put a worm on B'Elanna's sandwich. The two then found it funny, but neither Elizabeth or B'Elanna did, as B'Elanna stormed off until after nightfall. B'Elanna later remembered the trip as a major point in her life, when she was made fun of because of her Klingon heritage.
