Psychological Profile
Melissa is sometimes insecure about her own skills, and this generally results in her being very perfectionistic about her work.
Initially she didn't consider joining Starfleet as she thought she was not suited for the job, but her mentor at the University of Alpha Centauri convinced her otherwise.
Since her second year in the Academy, she generally avoids talking about her stepfather (Captain Seth Kane), as she doesn't want to seen as the daughter of a high ranking Starfleet officer.
Specialties and Skills
Melissa used to think she was really bad at math, but she ended up realising classes in school were just too boring. She's a fast reader, and speaks/understands several (ancient) alien languages.
Hobbies and Interests
History, particularly Earth's early space program and colonisation efforts.
She has a collection of obscure brightly colored pony figures from Earth's 21st century.
Notes
The fact that her biological father is still alive is not public knowledge.
