Melone Seno ("Red")

Head Nurse

Description
Red is an Orian, the race that built the Vextis. When the ship was presented to Ryax, she signed on as ship's doctor, a position she gladly handed over to Dante when he was brought aboard.

She gained the nickname "Red" not from the color of her hair, but the continuous "red coloring" of the rings on her breasts. The rings are skin pigmentations and often reflect the mood the Orian are in at any given time. It is rumored that the color red is an indication of sexual excitement, though this has never been confirmed. The Orian, both women and men, do not believe in wearing shirts and constantly move about the ship topless. Although it took a little getting use to for the rest of the crew, no one (particularly the men) has ever voiced an objection.

It had always been a well known secret that Dante and Red were more than just co-workers.

Present Day
Dante finally got his nerve up and "popped the question" to Red about five and a half years ago. He was truly shocked when her only answer was to inform him that she had thought they already were married. The "official" ceremony (at least in Dante's eyes) was performed a week later.

Red continues to work at Dante's side as both his head nurse and research partner. A doctor in her own right, Red is more than capable of handling any medical situation that might arise. However her forte’ has always been soothing the fears of patients and their relatives and prefers to leave the physical care of their bodies to Dante. Dante has long suspected the Orion people were possessed of mental talents, and no one embodied this more than Red. She seemed to have an ability to sooth people that must have stemmed from some greater empathic sense.

Three years ago, Red gave birth to their daughter Andrea.
