Character History: Trish grew up in the highlands of Scotland, escaping the house where her parents did battle almost daily as often as she could to the beautiful rough wilderness. She is intensely faithful to her mother, who died when she was only fourteen, and despises, yet loves her father. She studied for and entered Starfleet Academy at age eighteen, and shook the dust of Terra from her heels, never having returned. She continued her self-isolation through her Academy years, and was often referred to as "that shy little mouse," though admired for the intensity of her studies. She served aboard the Falconeye for nearly a year prior to current events. Until it was stolen from her in the Nexus, Trish wore a gold locket around her neck, containing pictures of her mother and father. She regrets its loss immensely.
Having been stricken with double pneumonia (due to overwork and not taking care of herself), she was placed under the watchful eye of Ensign Rex Myles, the CMO of Alpha Prime until her recovery. During this time, she and Rex had several memorable adventures on the holodeck (including their portrayal of Bonnie Prince Charlie and Flora MacDonald, circa 1750.. imagine Rex in a dress...; and the observation of a volcano erupting). She is now fully recovered.
Despite their comparable shynesses, Rex and Trish managed to make their feelings known to each other, and soon were considering marriage. They were married by Commodore Zavo of the Bunker Hill, and hope to serve together permanently.
