BACKGROUND MATERIAL:
 
Marion Shelby was born in a parallel universe into a similar but
slightly different version of the Federation.
 
Some children grow up in the shadow of a successful or celebrated
parent. Marion Elisabeth Shelby grew up in the shadow of a long family line
of overachievers that stretched back (albeit tenuously) to General Jo
Shelby the Confederate cavalry leader who refused to surrender after the
American Civil War was over.
 
Her father is a Starfleet admiral and diplomatic envoy on Bolius, his
father commanded a battle cruiser during the Dominion War and her
grand-aunt helped dispel the Borg invasion. Likewise her mother is a renowned
physician from a wealthy British family.
 
With a family tree like this Marion was doomed to greatness from the
moment she was born since her parents would accept nothing less than
excellence from their child. To this day rumours persist that Marion's
mother underwent several treatments that toed the line to genetic
enhancement during her pregnancy although medical tests at Starfleet have been
inconclusive.
 
Mom and dad decided even before Marion's birth that her daughter would
join Starfleet or at the very least the Marine Corps and they pushed
her toward that goal as soon as she could walk and speak.
 
They called it "making the best out of her potential", rationalizing
that their daughter would become a spoiled rich child otherwise. Luckily
Marion was both bright and eager enough to meet their expectations. 
She became a successful fencer and show jumper while her school grades
allowed her to enter Starfleet Academy.
 
During the next four years Marion practically lived and breathed for
the approval of her family and the challenges Starfleet offered. In time
she actually found that she liked the command track which gave her
grades another push upward. Her single minded pursuit of excellence made
her popular with the instructors but her often cold and abrasive
personality kept the other cadets as arms length and earned her nicknames among
which "Vulcan Ice Queen" was one of the nicer ones.
 
However, even the facts that she graduated at the top 5 % of her class
and captained the Academy fencing team in her last cadet year barely
earned her an approving nod from her father.
 
Her first assignment was the USS SORANUS where she served as OPS until
the ship together with a few dozen others vessels and space
installations was thrown into another universe - the universe of ASR. Before long
the "people from the other side" became informally known as the "rabbit
holers". After a period of retraining in what was a new Starfleet for
her Marion resumed the position of OPS but not on the SORANUS but on a
half-derelict space station named MARRAKESH that had also made the
dimensional jump.
 
For some reason Admiral Maxwell Shelby II, counterpart of the man who
used to be Marion's father in her own continuum, arranged for her to be
transferred to what both consider a more prestigious assignment -
Operations Manager of the USS DAEDALUS.

Racial and Cultural Background:
Marion Shelby was born and raised on Earth and educated on private
schools in Great Britain (Earth) before joining the Academy. See Background
section for more details
 
Medical and Physiological Background:
During her third year at the Academy Marion underwent extensive genetic
screening to confirm or deny rumours that she had been genetically
enhanced as a child. The doctors noted a remarkable stable genetic
structure and a well-above-average IQ but in the end they could not make any
conclusive diagnosis. Finally the board of instructors decided to give
the promising cadet the benefit of doubt and allowed her to continue her
studies. Marion still feels greatly embarrassed by the procedure and
only recently did she find out who of her fellow cadets spread the
rumours in the first place. In in-depth physical aboard the SORANUS finally
proved conclusively that Marion´s genes were not artificially enhanced.
 
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE:
Marion was showered by her parents more with demands and expectations
than with parental love. As a result she has grown aloof, remote and
demanding not because she's a bad person but because she knows nothing
else. Nothing but top performance in herself and others is good enough for
her. She cares for others but more out of a sense of duty than out of
heartfelt empathy. Even her two serious relationships were based more on
physical attraction than real deep feelings. In a less enlightened
century than the 24th others might have called her a bitch. Even in the
24th century many do. Marion comes across as aggressive, ambitious and
tenacious. Patience with what she perceives as incompetence or lack of
dedication is not her strong suit. However, no one can argue that she is
top in her profession and calm under pressure. Having practically grown
up around the brass she is unafraid to speak her mind around superior
officers. As much as Starfleet values professionalism and skill her
quest for personal perfection and parental approval concerns the Academy
counsellors but they hope that her hard demeanour will soften once she is
exposed to real life. In fact, her last counsellor suggested to put her
into the front line far away from contact with her father.
 
 
HOBBIES AND INTERESTS:
 
Competitive and Classical Fencing, Horseback Riding, Yoga
 
 
=========================================================
 
"I would describe Ensign Shelby as a driven person, driven to achieve
success and be the best in her case. While extraordinary achievement is
a hallmark of Starfleet officers, I'm somewhat concerned about the
single-mindedness of her pursuits. The Ensign would be well-advised to
learn how to relax and how to value friendships."
 
LT Liotta, Assistant Counsellor, Starfleet Academy
 
=========================================================
 
"Considering that she had been thrown out of her own space-time
continuum and lost all her friends and family, in fact her very reality Ensign
Shelby has adjusted remarkably well to her rather extreme situation. In
fact, it seems to me she adjusted too well all things considered."
 
LT CMDR Hix, Counsellor, Starbase ALPHA
