                                  Personal

Agent Scully is a well-respected and highly organized agent, knoledgeable in the areas of
forensic medecine and pathology. She does not share Agent Mulder's beliefs in paranormal. Dana
Scully spent the first year of her undergraduate school at the University of californa, Berkeley,
nar the Alameda Naval Air Station, where her father was stationed. At Berkeley, Dana had a
brush with political activism, particulary antinuclear protest groups, though her involvement
never went further than reading leaflets and engaging in occasional spirited "discussion" with her
father. After one year there, Dana transfered to the University of Maryland. Agent Scully's
medical training has been invaluable to the Bureau in the investigation of several cases assigned
to the X-Files.
In contrast to her partner, Dana Scully'shome life and childhood seem pretty normal. Her father,
William Sully,was a captain in the U.S. Navy. He was a participant in the Bay of Pigs in 1960.
Scully's mother, Margaret, was called "Maggie" by her father. Maggie once told her daighter that
Captan Scully proposed to her immediatly after his return from the Bay of Pigs; "their song" was
"Beyond the sea" and was played at their wedding. The marriage seemed happy in every way,
and the Scullys had four children: William Jr., known as "Bill Junior", Meissa Scully, Dana
Scully , and Charles Scully. While Captain Scully could be formal and reserved, he called his
youngest daughter "Starbuck" after the character in Moby-Dick and she called him "Ahab".
Although he disagree with his daughter's choice of profession, Maggie Scully twice assured
Dana of Captain Scully's pride in her. His sudden death around Christmas 1993 was a blow to
Dana. When she saw an apparition of him shortly afterward, it shocked Scully so much she began
to question her own beliefs. He reappeared in her near-death experience in "One Breath" with a
message of love and hope. Dark-haired Margaret Scully does not appear to have any profession
outside of the home, but is clearly the center of the family. Her warm yet commanding presence
dominates any family scenes. She respects her youngest daughter's independance of mind, even to
the point ogf agreeing to the execution of Scully's living will. This may even have gone against
her own conscience, as there are indications Margaret Scully is a devout Catholic. The family is
Catholic and Margaret gave Dana a tiny cross when she was fifteen, which Dana always wears.
Margaret may have some psychic ability, as she confides to Mulder on one occasion that she had
a premonition dream about her daughter's abduction by Duane Barry.

Melissa Scully, Dana's old sister, resembles her slightly, wiht red hair and hazel eyes. She is a
believer in miracles and has a tendency to spout New Age jargon.She claims to be able to read
auras, announcing that her sister in her coma was deciding whether to live or die, and telling Fox
Mulder that he was " in a very dark place", darker than Scully's. She is partial to charms and
crystals, and is familiar with pendulum dowsing techniques. By Margaret scully's account, her
oldest daughter was not a tomboy like Dana. In "Blessing Way" Alex Krycek shoots Melissa,
mistaking her for her sister. Mrs Scully keeps a bedside vigil for her in "Paper Clip" but not to
avail. When Melissa dies, a grief-stricken Dana Scully says, "she died for me".

Bill Junior and Charles Scully appear only as boys, in "One Breath", and no mention has been
made of their profession or whereabouts.
