Victoria aboard the Enterprise.
Name: Victoria Miller
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Spouse: Steven
Children: 1 son, Wyatt
Actress: Nan Martin

Victoria Miller was a human civilian in the 24th century. She was the mother of Wyatt Miller, and wife to Steven Miller, whom she betrothed to Deanna Troi when they were children.

In 2364, upon arriving at Haven, the Miller family sent up a Betazoid Gift Box to the Enterprise, where Deanna was serving as counselor. They came aboard, and immediately began planning the wedding ceremony. Shortly there after however, Lwaxana Troi, daughter of the Fifth House, the Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, and Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed beamed aboard. Victoria and Lwaxana didn't get along to well, and disagreed on many things during their brief stay.

Captain Picard decided to hold a special dinner for their honored guests, and in celebration of Deanna's engagement. While there, Lwaxana informed everyone that it would be a traditional Betazoid wedding, where all guests are naked. Victoria would never allow it, and said she wanted a human wedding, with dresses and flowers. Lwaxana subtly let a pet plant crawl onto Victoria's arm, and she screamed. Deanna got up and screamed at them for acting like children, and ran off.

Shortly there after however, the dispute was ended when Wyatt decided to board a Tarellian ship which contained a fatal plague. He exposed himself to it, and fell in love with one of its crew members. Victoria and Steven let him go, as they just wanted him to be happy. (TNG: "Haven")

Betazoid betrothal was never hinted at again, and human betrothal seems to be against the rules in the 24th century, so it seems odd why the two families would do so here. Also, as both are Federation members, it seems odd that the Federation would allow strict betrothal.
