Dana Katherine Scully was born on February 23, 1964 in Annapolis, Maryland, to William (Don S. Davis) and Margaret Scully(Sheila Larken), into a close-knit Catholic family with Irish ancestry. She has an older brother, Bill Jr., an older sister,Melissa, and a younger brother, Charles, who is never seen on the show except in flashbacks. Scully’s father was a U.S. Navy Captain, who died of a heart attack in early January 1994. Dana Scully grew up in Annapolis, Maryland and later in San Diego, California. As a young girl, Scully’s favorite book was Moby-Dick and she came to nickname her father “Ahab” from the book, and in return, he called her “Starbuck.” Due to this she named her dog Queequeg.
Scully attended The University of Maryland, and in 1986 received a Bachelor of Science degree in physics. Her undergraduate thesis was titled Einstein’s Twin Paradox: A New Interpretation. While in medical school at Stanford University she was recruited by the FBI; she accepted the agency’s offer of employment because she felt she could distinguish herself there. After two years in the bureau, Division Chief Scott Blevins assigned her to work with agent Fox Mulder.
The Seasons on The X-Files
Lets look at Mulder and Scully through their seasons of searching for aliens on The X-Files.
Special Agent Fox William Mulder
Fox Mulder, a trained FBI profiler who believes in the existence of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and a government conspiracy to hide or deny the truth regarding extraterrestrial life.
Mulder and his partner Special Agent Dana Scully work in the FBI’s X-files office, which is concerned with cases with particularly mysterious or possibly supernatural circumstances that were marked as unsolvable and shelved by the FBI. Mulder considers the X-files and the truth behind the supposed conspiracy so important that he has made their study the main purpose of his life.
Special Agent Dana Katherine Scully
Dana Scully is an FBI special agent, a medical doctor, and scientist who is Mulder’s partner. In contrast to his credulity, Scully is a skeptic, basing her beliefs on scientific explanations.
However, despite her otherwise rigid skepticism, she is a Catholic, and her faith plays an important role in several episodes. As Scully works along side Mulder, she becomes more open to the possibility of paranormal happenings.
