In opposition to her partner's happy-go-lucky attitude and reliance on intuition, Myka is smart, organized, and has a careful eye for detail.

She is a college graduate and was Pre-med and Pre-law at some point before being recruited into the Secret Service; at least one of these qualifications was obtained at the University of Colorado[3] She has at least two tattoos, one on her right ankle[4] and another on the inside.

Her attention to minutiae leads to her status as a rising star in the Secret Service, despite a classified "situation" in Denver Colorado.

"[6] Following the instructions given to her, Myka finds herself in the badlands of South Dakota assigned as an agent to Warehouse 13 with a new boss, Artie Nielsen, and a new partner, Pete Lattimer.

In the season 2 finale, "Reset", Myka's trust is betrayed when Helena uses the Warehouse to acquire the Minoan Trident, the world's first weapon of mass destruction.

Wells and filled with doubt about her future effectiveness as warehouse agent, Myka resigns from her job – a painful decision for her.

In season 4 episode What Matters Most, Myka is diagnosed with ovarian cancer during a routine physical required for all agents.

Myka has received training from both civilian law enforcement and the Secret Service in firearms, personal protection, and investigation.

Reluctant to rely solely on gut instinct, she routinely advocates using formal deduction and investigative work.

Because of this her partners and coworkers note that her "by the book" mentality and professionalism has made her exceptional at closing cases, and why many of the people she interviews confess due to overwhelming evidence.

As a warehouse agent, she has also displayed extensive knowledge, including literature, history, science, and mathematics, making her the primary investigator in the field.

[7] In a deleted scene from the episode "Vendetta", she is heard telling Artie in the background that she speaks French, Italian, and Spanish.

While attending a reunion social gathering, we see Myka sitting alone at the bar drinking vodka tonics.

In the season 1 episode "Nevermore", Myka receives word that Warren is dying and rushes to Colorado to see him.

In the season 2 episode "Merge with Caution", we see that Myka had a high school crush on the captain of the football team, Kurt, who she tutored in math.

Chemistry develops between them at their ten-year reunion, though it is Myka's body inhabited by Pete's mind, caused by a body-swapping artifact.

As a Secret Service agent stationed in Denver, Colorado, Myka is partnered with Sam, with whom she builds a romantic relationship.

He is murdered while on assignment, and, for some time, Myka feels partly responsible, believing she acted too slowly to save him.

In the season 3 episode "Past Imperfect", Myka learns that a fellow agent conspired with Leo to murder Sam, aided by an artifact that could temporarily freeze time.

Former colleagues at the Denver Secret Service, Zach, and Jim, worked with Myka on the Leo Bock case.

They maintain a good relationship even after Myka's departure, at least until Artie forces them to sever contact because of Warehouse security demands.

Pete displays an innate ability to bring out of Myka a happy, fun-loving side, rather than always being the uptight and isolated person she was when they first met.

[9] In the Season 2 finale "Reset", upon leaving the Warehouse, Myka writes in her resignation letter that Pete is the big brother she never had.

But the way Pete reacts, running out of the Warehouse in a futile attempt to catch her, almost in tears, suggests that he thinks of her as more than a sister.

In the season 3 episode "Love Sick" after waking up naked in bed together with no memory of what happened, both declare, "I don't think of you that way."

They clash again in season 2 episodes "Vendetta" and "Where and When" after Myka advocates for the reinstatement of H. G. Wells, a decision Artie adamantly opposes.

We also witness Artie's emotion in "The New Guy" upon seeing that Myka has returned to the Warehouse, simply uttering "Good" with a satisfying smile on his face.

Her belief in Claudia is reinforced when Myka writes in her season 2 resignation letter, "I wish I could be there to see you grow into the amazing woman you're going to become."

"[11] Their developing mutual love and affection[9] culminates in Helena's self-sacrifice to save Myka, Pete and Artie from an explosion in the season 3 finale, "Stand".

Helena's sacrifice and death are wiped from existence in the season 4 premiere, "A New Hope", when Artie uses a failsafe artifact to prevent the explosion and reverse the Warehouse's destruction.
