Personality & Traits

General Overview		Somewhat of an enigma, Mikaela Locke's personality is shaped by an advanced eidetic memory. As such, during childhood, she soon began developing a mental capacity much greater than her peers, leading to intense periods of bullying from other children. In order to deal with this, Locke developed a strong, independent streak, but, in actuality remained deeply insecure. Openly bi-sexual she describes herself as someone 'who needs someone - anyone', moving from one relationship to the next, looking to find some security, but usually only found someone looking to take advantage of her. She has few friends and a distrust of almost everyone - a trait not aided by her time working for Starfleet Intelligence.

Personal History		Mikaela Locke was born on 5th September 2366 to a doctor and a housewife. Her father's long hours meant she was raised almost exclusively by her mother - a situation which became a permanent one when she was six, as her father left her mother and moved out. When she was ten years old, Mikaela began to realise that her ability to recall the things she was learning in school became remarkably easy. She it was soon after this that it was discovered that she possessed an eidetic memory. However this ability brought its share of problems. She soon found herself alienated by her peers and bullied, simply because she succeeded in school. As the intensity of the ability increased over time, education became easier and easier for her. She graduated high-school at 14, and completed her first degree in xenolinguistics at 16. Looking to gain some experience of the world, Mikaela drifted for the best part of two years, never settling in a job for any length of time because she became easily bored when there was nothing new to learn. Looking for a career which truly challenged her, she entered Starfleet Academy two weeks after her 18th birthday. She completed the course in two years, specialising in computer science, computer programming, xenolinguistics and interspecies ethics and protocol. She also qualified as a fighter pilot. During her first term at the Academy, Locke met fellow-cadet Jason Fisher, with whom she began an on-off relationship which would last for the majority of the next five years. Unsurprisingly, Starfleet Intelligence became aware of Locke and her potential very early on in her time at the Academy, and groomed her as an intelligence operative, and so, following her graduation Locke joined Intelligence's Research and Analysis Department on Earth. She received favourable reports at her first performance evaluation and was advanced in rank to a junior grade lieutenant. After a couple of years serving in the Research and Analysis department however, she became tired of simply ingesting and regurgitating reports and sought a new challenge. Realising her intelligence background limited her options when it came to deep-space assignments, she returned to the Academy for 6 months, cross-training as a communications officer, minoring in tactical and strategic operations. Able to draw on her linguistics background, she passed the course with flying colours and, in March 2389, she was assigned as the new Chief Communications Officer of Starbase 109. (to be filled in) In December of 2392, Mikaela learned that the XO billet on Starbase 109 had become available and, seeing an opportunity to reunite with Vanguard's CO and her friend Horatio Drake, she submitted her candidacy. Her request was approved and a short time later, she transferred to Starbase 109, concurrently receiving a promotion to lieutenant commander.
