Personal History
Melitta Herodion was born on 236305.25 which was seventeen years before the people of Til'ahn achieved warp capability. She was born to Andreas and Charis Herodion at the family home, Great city, Damodara Til'ahn. With the addition of her younger sister this was where Melitta would be raised over the next eighteen years. Given that her family was fairly well off, Melitta and her sister (Corinna Herodion) had for the most part a trouble free upbringing. Given Melitta's strong fielding abilities she started officially training at the Fielding league as young as six years old. Before that her father, Andreas Herodion, taught her a few simply techniques to help control her abilities to prevent headaches from taking hold.
While Andreas was a nurturing and supportive figure who always encouraged Melitta in whatever she choose to do Charis was strict and firm when it came to schooling Melitta into a proper daughter. Being a local school teacher by trade Charis was particularly hard on Melitta when it came to things like doing well at school and maintaining good posture. Despite this firmness Melitta learned to appreciate what her mother was trying to teach her even though she didn't always agree at the time.
With school and extensive training at the Fielding league Melitta had little spare time for her own pursuits. One hobby that her parents did allow to interrupt Melitta's hectic schedule was the sport of Futbash. Charis reasoned that it would help develop Melitta's Fielding abilities but for Melitta it was a way to get out and let loose so to speak. By the time that she finished secondary schooling she helped the local team acquire the district tournament. This was a feat that she was most proud of.
Melitta's one other hobby outside of the Futbash field and her academic work was that of swimming. After almost drowning at ten years old Melitta in a boating accident, Melitta convinced her parents that it was important that she learned to swim proficiently. At first Melitta was understandably hesitant to get back in the water but persisted nonetheless and eventually mastered the ability. As an adult she has taken to the habit of swimming to maintain her level of fitness.
In the year 2380 Melitta joined Star Fleet entering Marine officer training specializing as a combat pilot.
