Melody was born an only child into a humble, small family on stardate 23718.26 in the city of New York. Her childhood was met with significant difficulty, inheriting a genetic mutation from both her mother and father that caused a mild case of Empathic Synaesthesia, forcing the uncontrolled use of her empathic abilities via physical contact. Melody lived much of her childhood attempting to conceal her ailment, doing everything she could to avoid situations where she would be limited by the gift she took as a weakness. However, much to Melody’s protest, her parents would often find a way to get her out in the real world, talking to real people. | Melody was born an only child into a humble, small family on stardate 23718.26 in the city of New York.

As Melody grew older, she began undergoing meditation to attempt to reduce the effects of her Synaesthesia. Around this time, Melody found comfort in covering her hands with clothing items such as gloves or mittens to reduce her everyday limitations and the impairments that came with the burden of Synaesthesia. Around the age of 14, Melody began to break into theatre, discovering her passion for performing as well as that of acting. Throughout secondary school Melody began taking up singing lessons and a wide variety of extracurricular activities that involved theatre and or acting. However she felt rather torn, Melody developed and refined her skills in the theatre and also began sprouting and developing her natural knack for various interests in mathematics and sciences. Melody grew into herself showing various analytical aspects of herself as well as the half of her mind that lived in theatre, showing grace and outgoingness, yet remaining quiet and alone in her own little world. She always felt like she didn’t quite fit in with many other humans. Her parents throughout her teen and childhood were often quite overbearing and Melody enjoyed how self expressive the theatre was and often felt at home on the stage. Melody often times felt as if her parents tried to forcibly shape her into the image of a perfect child. She dreamed of leaving New York to get away from home. She studied hard to achieve her dreams of one day joining Starfleet, not only due to her fascination with numbers, but to finally live her life the way she wanted. Melody's aspirations of joining Starfleet slowly drove a wedge between her and her parents, Melody developed a somewhat rebellious nature, often times fighting with her parents because of the lack of freedom they gave her. | |||

Melody’s first year at the academy was somewhat underwhelming. She kept to herself mostly, it was a somewhat quiet and lonely first year, however it allowed Melody to focus on things such as her studies. In her years at the academy she majored in Astrophysics and out of sheer fascination, minored in Tactical Defence. In her years, Melody picked up multiple texts such as The Art of War, finding it to be some encapsulating food for thought. Melody even considered majoring in Tactical, as she found that her analytical nature often allowed for her to closely analyse and deconstruct many dangerous situations. In Melody’s second year she was able to come out of her shell, making friends with multiple people as well as hoping to send in an application for her cadet cruise within the conclusion of her third year. | Melody’s first year at the academy was somewhat underwhelming.

Melody enjoyed the academy life, although she lived on campus, she enjoyed the freedom away from her parents. Melody often times found herself struggling with the levels of authority in the academy, landing herself in detention or face to face with a professor more times than she'd like to admit. | ||
During her fourth year, Melody served onboard the [[USS Scarborough]]. as a stellar cartographer. She worked in a close knit environment among the small populous of science officer on board the small transport vessel. Melody’s main task as one of the three stellar cartographers onboard was to constantly monitor and analyse the best/safest route to the Scarborough’s destination. While on the Scarborough, Melody was promoted to the rank of Ensign. | During her fourth year, Melody served onboard the [[USS Scarborough]]. as a stellar cartographer.

While on the Scarborough, Melody was promoted to the rank of Ensign. However, taking the first steps in her career, Melody struggled to work under an almost demanding department chief. She would find herself taking on tasks she wasn't authorised to complete, or at times taking hours to submit reports that weren't to her personal standards. Often times she would find herself meeting with the ship's counsellor in some attempt to resolve her issues with taking orders. | ||
