Michelle Anna Yosephian was born near Dublin, Ireland in 2357. The daughter of wealthy terraformers, Yosephian spent most of her childhood and adolescent years on her family's large Irish estate, brought up by the estate's large staff while her parents were away working on various distant worlds. This early separation gave Yosephian a sense of independence that continues to serve her well today.

Yosephian entered Starfleet Academy in 2376 where she excelled on various athletic teams. Upon graduation in 2380, she was posted immediately to the USS Endeavour before being transferred with many of the Endeavour's crew to the USS Alliance, where she serves as a Security officer.

Yosephian is a slim 5' 8" tall. The attractive young woman has shoulder- length red hair and brown eyes. An excellent pilot, her other hobbies include mountain climbing, running, and reading. Yosephian has command aspirations of her own someday, and hopes to rise quickly through the ranks.
