| Childhood (birth to Adult): | Alyssa's childhood was a happy one....spent listening to her father tell stories about his adventures on other worlds, investigating ancient ruins of long gone civilizations. It really is no wonder that James Northrop's only Daughter followed in his footsteps. Her mother silently disapproved of her husband telling her daughter his stories about raiding ancient ruins. It was dangerous work...as such places were usually booby trapped. It was also to Gwen's dismay when her daughter began exhibiting the traits that made her husband so successful. Alyssa was the neighborhood daredevil. The other children would challenge her to do the things they were too afraid to do...such as climbing tall trees or houses...walking ledges with large drop offs and other such childish challenges. Her brothers did nothing to disuade her...and miracously, she never hurt herself. | ||

| Starfleet Career |
Alyssa has had a distinguished career in both an academic setting as well as in the field. Her research has led her to the retrieval of several high profile artifacts, recoveries which netted her quite a bit of latinum. She's been published several times and even wrote a book on the Ancient Civilization of Creyta IV. Unsurprisingly enough, the book was written after her recovery of the four most sought after artifacts in the Quadrent: The Sarcis Blade, The Sarcis Amulet, The Tiara of Sarcis, and the Sarcis Dagger. These items were thought to be lost forever....until Alyssa's team turned up with them. After authentication, all four of the items were sold into the Creyta IV Planetary History Museum. When the Civil War broke out in the Federation, Alyssa was on an Expedition near the Badlands. She agreed with the Maquis...and did not try to return. By this time, her younger brother, James Jr., had begun work for Starfleet Research. Her older brother, Robert, was well ensconced with in the Starfleet Chain of Command. However, not long after the War began, Lieutenant Commander Robert Northrop defected to the cause of the Maquis....having tried to get James and their parents to follow. They were unable to...as Starfleet Security descended on them....intent on keeping James Jr. working for them. Alyssa did not hear of her brother's defection until she surfaced again just recently, looking for supplies for her expedition. Once she did....she decided that she couldn't hide in the dust of the past any longer. She offered her services to the Maquis Fleet....and was assigned to the Sovereign Class USS Zion as a Warrant Officer. |

She also enjoys learning new languages and prides herself on not needing a Universal Translator. She also is a pretty good cook. She loves to fence. | ||

She's well aware of her appearance and certainly isn't afraid to use it to get what she wants. She takes great pride in her accomplishments and her abilities. She hates to hear someone tell her she can't do something...and often times takes that as a personal challenge. Some see her as arrogant and she could care less what most other people think of her. She is almost always well dressed, unless she's on a dig or expedition. |
