Template:Sidebar character
T'Pring, born in 2232, was a Vulcan female who was bonded to Spock as a child.
In 2267, when Spock began suffering from the pon farr, he returned to Vulcan to mate with T'Pring.
T'Pring, however, preferred Stonn instead, and executed her right to claim Kal-if-fee at the koon-ut-kal-if-fee ceremony (a Vulcan wedding). She picked James Kirk as her champion, and he accepted while being unaware that the fight was to be to the death.
T'Pring reasoned that if Spock won, he would reject her for having chosen another, and she would have Stonn. If Kirk won and killed Spock, he would not want her, and she would still have Stonn. However, should Spock still accept her, he would likely be gone for several extended periods of time following his career in Starfleet, thus allowing her to be with Stonn. (TOS: "Amok Time")
Appendices
Although, the picture shown to the right has the new DVD version with the fake background. Originally she had a solid blue screen; no house or birds.
Apocrypha
T'Pring appears in a storyline in Star Trek (DC volume 2) where she has grown overweight and Stonn is no longer attracted to her.
In the novel Spock's World, T'Pring plots revenge on Kirk and Spock. T'Pring is vengeful because after marrying Stonn, Stonn died trying to induce pon farr. T'Pring's plot to have Vulcan secede from the United Federation of Planets is foiled by the Enterprise crew. Similar events apparently occur in the novel The Lost Years. She's also shown extorting Spock for "the bride price" in D.C. Fontana's novel Vulcan's Glory, which takes place during the Christopher Pike era.
