Melanie

Melanie was a female Human who lived in the 25th century.

Around the middle of that century, Melanie visited Jake Sisko's home in New Orleans to ask him why, in all of his published novels, short stories, plays, poetry and essays, he never mentioned any of the people he knew on Deep Space 9. In actuality, Sisko had spent many years writing an anthology called Prophecy and Change, which featured stories on people and events that he knew and experienced while living on DS9. Sisko gave her the original manuscript for her to study. (SS DS9 (Revisited))

''In an alternate timeline in which Benjamin Sisko suffered temporal displacement, Melanie visited Jake to ask him why he stopped writing. Jake told her of the loss of his father and the years he had spent trying to rescue him. Before he died, Jake gave her a collection of stories for her to study.
