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. | Melitta's one other hobby outside of the Futbash field and her academic work was that of swimming.

one notable family member in Meiltta's life was that of her grand father Aristides Herodion. Working as a local law enforcer in the city of Singh he taught Melitta the value of doing the right thing in order to maintain peace and justice. Although he wasn't always close by his influence ensured that Melitta knew what it meant to live in a free, peaceful and just society and if the need arose to fight to ensure that those values where upheld. Sadly Aristides passed away shortly before first contact was made and it was only around this time that Melitta truly witnessed what a society could be like when chaos was permitted to flourish. | |||
One force that Melitta saw in that time, that was also trying to keep order on Til'ahn was Star Fleet. Even though they were alien to her home world she was inspired by how they were willing to fight both through negotiations and actions to keep the peace and help rebuild the once great Laudean government that Melitta decided that Star Fleet was the type of organization that she would be proud to serve in. Toward the end of 2379 after she had finished her secondary schooling Melitta sought to apply to Star Fleet Academy as a way to both honor Star Fleet for they assistance and to remember her grandfather. At first she struggled to find a particular area of Star Fleet to apply to. While she did quite well at school she had no interest in the sciences or fields like engineering. The one division that did catch her interest was that of the Star Fleet marines as their appeared similar if not larger and well trained to the various militias that existed on Til'ahn. After acquiring sponsorship to attend the Academy Melitta traveled to Earth to start her studies and training in the early months of 2380. | |||
