Madison Marsh Close Friendship Madison Marsh has been Alix's best friend since they were 16. They met at summer training camp for the girl's AAU basketball team where they were roommates. After high school they went seperate ways as Madison joined Starfleet and Alix went to medical school. They kept in touch and reconnected when Alix later joined Starfleet while Madison was doing her medical studies. Madison is an extrovert that pushes Alix out of her shell and encourages her to pursue a more active social life. |

| Education & Career ⮟ |

High School
- Alix Harford graduated high school from Texas Accredited Vocational School, a high school / college dual enrollment program. She attended the school on a basketball scholarship. Attending the vocational school allowed her to graduate high school with an undergraduate degree in biology and attend medical school immediately after graduation.
Medical School
- Alix attended Medical school straight out of high school and studied at Baylor College of Intergalactic Medicine. Her focus of study was trauma surgery with a minor in holistic wellness medicine. Her mentor heralded the benefits of relying on your senses and never becoming too dependent on technology alone as a diagnostic tool.
Pre-Starfleet Career
- Alix worked for a year as a trauma surgeon at the Central Texas Trauma and Rehabilitation Center where her own life threatening injuries had been treated years earlier. She quickly grew bored and decided to join Starfleet for the challenge of practicing medicine on the frontier of Space Exploration.
Starfleet Academy
- Having joined Starfleet with a background in medicine allowed Alix to diversify her studies at Starfleet Academy where she focused on xenobiology, xenozoology and chemistry. She earned dual certifications from Starfleet in Medicine and Science. She also played on the Basketball on the Academy team.
| Background ⮟ |
|---|
Alix Harford was born on Earth to human parents, Alex Dane & Renae Stephanie Harford. The oldest of four girls, she was responsible, hard-working, physically fit and tall like her father. She enjoyed sports and science and did not enjoy girly things like her much smaller, much more feminine sisters. Her parents raised her with “old Earth” values and did not approve of space travel. Preferring instead to live their lives “as humans were intended”.
Alix excelled in school but never fit in socially, perhaps due to extreme anxiety that manifested after a near-fatal shuttle accident in her teen years. That was when she'd fallen in love with medicine. Watching the doctor who happened to be on board calmly treat and stabilize the injured passengers, including Alix and her father. Later she found out that the doctor on board had been a retired Starfleet medical officer.
After the accident, Alix's parents insisted she meet regularly with a counselor for trauma therapy. Her counselor was a half betazoid/ half human female who regularly used her abilities to usher Alix through her feelings. Ever since, Alix has had a dislike for anyone poking around in her mind, invading her private thoughts.
After 4 years of medical school, a year of working in medicine on Earth, and 4 years at Starfleet Academy, Alix Harford was still an anxious perfectionist who preferred science to social situations. Practicing medicine was the only time she truly felt calm and in control.
