In 1992, 2 orca calves were born at MLC. One was born to Kiska and Nootka delivered a female calf just 2 months later. Sadly Kiska's calf died, but Nootka's daughter flourished and gained weight; she was given the name Neocia. After spending some time with her family, Neocia was sent to the "warehouse", MLC's indoor pool. As the years passed Neocia got many other siblings and Marineland ran out of space. So in 1998 a new tank was built and the orcas were moved there. Neocia was soon transferred back to the old performing stadium, King Waldorf Theatre, to do the shows there. Her half-brother Nova joined her, but Neocia was very dominant and harrassed him very often. After Nova's death, Hudson was placed with Neocia, but that turned out even worse and he was soon send back to Friendship Cove. Neocia got along very well with her father, but also often tried to dominate him. During the last time they spend together, she got pregnant by him. But she miscarried some months later.
Neocia wanted to get all the attention from her trainers; she was the star and she let everyone know it. She was also really moody and often refused to do behaviours or didn't do them correctly. Neocia's dominant and aggressive attitude, may have been the result of the early separation from her mother.  

Neocia performed at King Waldorf Theatre and was moved back to Friendship Cove during the winter season.
