family history: M’Gan’s family comes from one of the ancient Caitian trader clans. These clans are outside of "normal" Caitian society. They were at one time seen as outsiders and were not trusted. (similar to gypsies of Europe) The Ryalthi clan has been merchant since before spaceflight. While an infant M’Gan and her parents were on the Caitian homeworld for her first naming ceremony, the rest of the clan was killed when Maquis raiders destroyed the family ship. Her parents finding themselves clanless, chose to go into service for the homeworld rather than apply to join another clan. They were assigned to the Embassy on Earth. They have only returned to Cait once, for M’Gan’s second naming ceremony when she was 15.

Personal History: M’Gan has only been on her homeworld twice in her life, less than 6 months total time. Having grown up in the diplomatic community of Earth, M’Gan had schoolmates and friends from many different cultures and civilizations. Her quick temper which caused her some trouble in her prep school days, has been mastered, and in fact it is difficult to arouse her temper and nearly impossible to do so intentionally. Control of her temper has not made M’Gan a pushover by any means. She has plenty of ‘backbone’. M’Gan has a number of different hobbies, and like her friends it’s an eclectic group. She enjoys mountain biking, hiking, swimming and rock climbing. She also enjoys reading and academic study into a variety of topics. She loves Earth music and arts, with the exception of jazz. She also appreciates an occasional well planned practical joke.
M’Gan has an easygoing personality and makes friends easily, People tend to like her or at least consider her to be non-threatening, given her size and personality.
Some of her pesonal study topics have included: astronomy (in addition to helm work), botany, biology (very brief), geology, history and xenography.

medical record:
note: Caitians acheive emotional and intellectual maturity at or before human norms, while physical and sexual maturity is not reached until mid twenties.

education:
graduated Academy Institute school 40604.10

Stardate: 10912.10
Cadet M’Gan has made a good adjustment here at Academy Prep. There was some concern about admitting her, given that a Caitian would be so much smaller than the other students. M’Gan has in fact turned this into a advantage she allows other cadets to make assumptions about her abilities, then turns the tables. One of her suite mates was the first victim of this technique. There is a great deal of hope that the punishment tours both drew for fighting will teach them both a lesson. M’Gan, especially needs to brush up on the idea of ‘an officer and a gentleman’.
Commander (ret) R. Latham, Headmaster, Academy Prepatory School

Stardate: 40601.12
Cadet M’Gan has done well during her four years at Prep. She has learned to curb her tendency to take advantage of her diminutive size. I believe she will do well at the Academy. She has made a great deal of progress in learning to control her temper, but mastery of it will most likely be a lifelong undertaking.

returned from supplementary Cadet cruise: 80601.06

Stardate: 80600.1200
I would like to commend the actions of Ensign M’Gan on this cadet cruise. She agreed to come along on a supplementary cadet cruise, to help me out. She did a great job nursing the damaged Xerxes helm along, regularly covering two and three shifts at a time when troubles occurred, which they did, with alarming frequency. She also missed graduating with her class, as we arrived about 20 hours too late.
