Biography
Michael Burnham was a female human born on Earth in 2226 as the daughter of astrophysicist Gabrielle Burnham and scientist Mike Burnham.
In 2236, her parents were stationed at Doctari Alpha with Michael staying with them during their assignment.
During a family dinner, Burnham came to see a light through a telescope with this actually an attack on the outpost by the Klingons. This saw her father attempt to barricade the kitchen door whilst her mother hid Michael in a cabinet. Their home was attacked by Klingons where her father was killed and it was believed her mother was similarly murdered in the process. The young Michael then saw the attackers sit down at the Burnham family table where they ate their dinner that was prepared and laughed at the slaughter.
She was found by Vulcan ambassador Sarek who decided to adopt the young orphaned human girl. This saw him bringing her to Vulcan where she was introduced to his wife Amanda Grayson and leading to her meeting their son Spock.
Following her graduation, she applied to the Vulcan Expeditionary Group though unknown to her the application was rejected on the basis of her being a human. This led to her adoptive father Sarek having to choose only one of his children to join the space service. Ultimately, he decided to choose Spock and hid this truth out of personal shame. Instead, he told Michael that her rejection was due to her having 'insufficient' ability with Burnham blaming herself for her weaknesses. This was despite her foster mother attempting to dismiss these thoughts in an attempt to comfort Michael. Afterwards, Spock decided to join Starfleet with this only increasing the shame Sarek felt over seemingly sacrificing Michael's future career over a pointless decision. (DIS: Lethe)
