Personality: Strong-willed but quiet. Tends to keep to herself, finds it difficult to trust some people. Loyal to the crew as she seems to think of it as her extended family.

Appearance: Eryin looks younger than she really is and she tries to use that to her advantage. Though attractive, she hides the fact to keep others' attention away from her - a habit developed during the Occupation. Her sandy blonde hair is usually kept to just above her jawline. She has a tiny scar on her chin from childhood. Characteristic nose ridges of her race.

Physical Health: Excellent. She continually maintains her combat training.

Mental Health: No discrepancies have been noted in her mental health.

Emotional Health: Though still affected by her home's former occupation by the Cardassians, Eryin still has her faith in the Prophets and prays to them everyday. She's come to terms with all that has occured since that time but still has her reservations against Cardassians - despite their efforts at the end of the Dominion War.

Important Events in his Life:
Eryin was 15 when the Occupation had ended and the Cardassians had withdrawn from Bajor. By that time, the pilot had seen and been through more horrors than any child her age should have. One such instance resulted in the death of her mother, Nerin, who was a long-time resistance fighter. Nerin's death was not in vain, however, as her resistance cell was responsible for keeping Eryin and the rest of her family alive.

Eryin herself had participated in the occasional raid for supplies but was limited to only that. Her mother had been adamantly intent on keeping Eryin safe for as long as possible. After the Occupation, Eryin, her father Covol and sister Veyla found a place to call home and settle down. It was a difficult adjustment at first but their efforts proved successful in the end.

Veyla remained behind, married and joined the Bajoran Militia. Eryin, by the behest of her father, enrolled in Starfleet. Covol thought of it as the Mell family's way of repaying the Federation for their efforts in assisting Bajor in their rebuilding efforts. Eryin agreed with his assessment and so finds herself on board the Dragonstar for her first tour.
