She is dedicated to objectivity and common
sense, but open to extreme possibilities. Special
Agent Dana Scully is not only a medical doctor
with a specialty in forensics, but a firm believer
in reason who thinks there is a scientific
explanation behind every X-file. Against her
parent's wishes, Scully went from medical
school to Quantico, where she taught for two
years at the FBI's training academy. From there
she was assigned to work with Fox Mulder and
the X-Files, with the strong implication that she
was to debunk them. Over the years that they
have worked together, her trust in his instincts
and her respect for his integrity have eroded her
skepticism. She finds her faith in a scientific and
orderly universe constantly challenged by the
cases she pursues with Mulder. Far from being a
spy for the bureaucrats who hinder their work,
Scully is a full partner in the X-Files, focusing on
assembling the hard evidence that will prove
the truth is out there.
