BACKGROUND INFO

Lyta was born in Ireland, but grew up in in a small town outside of Toronto, Canada, on Earth. Although she's half Trill, she's never actually been to her mother's homeworld. When she was 9, she was involved in a horseback riding accident which crushed her right knee and damaged it irreparably. Now she wears a brace-coil in order to do even simple things like walking (She's constantly replacing it because she puts it through a lot more stress than it was designed to take.) She plays ice hockey and used to play in/coach with one of the Toronto region's twelve organized leagues. Her long time best friend, Julian Clair was in that league with her. He and Lyta became best friends through their love of sports.  Today they still remain like family.  She also taught herself to play the guitar quite well. Lyta is no stranger to tragedy. When she was eight, her parents were murdered by Cardassians. Also, Lyta, Julian and another close friend of thier's, Michael Selick, spent some time on Bajor. After six months, the Cardassians invaded Bajor and the three of them found themselves unable to leave. Another six months saw the Cardassians capture her and the other two.  They were taken to a laboratory where the Cardassians expiriments on bajoran prisoners. Michael was killed as a result of these tests. Soon after that Lyta's aunt had her and Julian pulled back from Bajor. Before the month was over they were both enlisted in Starfleet to "Keep them out of trouble."

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE:

Lyta has an extremely volatile temper and violent personality.  This is paired with a sharp wit and She would use any excuse to attack someone on the personal level. This wit also gives her a very twisted sense of humor. Although she can be friendly at times, she generally attacks anyone she doesn't want within ten feet of her. She loves contact and fighting sports and combat games. Because she grew up mostly around her male friends and cousins, she's  very much an athlete and considers herself as much a guy as Julian or Michael.   She bears more than a little resentment towards the Cardassians for her parents' and Michael's deaths. Mostly her human side is what she puts forward, not at all letting on that she is in fact part Trill at all. Ghallagher is very creative and will take any chance she gets to improvise.

EDUCATION: 

Starfleet academy: Engineering major, one semester xenoboilogy, combat training, advanced warp geometry.  Fluent in Earth english and greek, Bajoran, Trill.  Speaks broken Klingon and Cardassian.
