She is 5'6", has golden blonde hair, turquoise eyes, and is 29 years old.  She is the youngest child of Matty and Chip Morton.  She is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and is still on active service, but has been posted, on loan from the Navy,  to the NIMR.

Her choice of career path was also Submarine Service, like that of her father and sister.  She is working on a doctorate in Marine Bio-electronics, taking courses at the University of California at Santa Barbara.  At the Institute, she helped create, and now heads, the newly created Bio-electronics lab, and she has several projects already in use on the boat and at the Institute as well.  She is a trained pilot, having been trained at Miramar.

She also was a member of the design team for the new flying submersibles that are berthed on the boat.

She is not a member of the crew of the Nelson, choosing instead to remain at the Labs, to enable the projects to go further, rather than leaving them for missions on the boat.
