Ryika was an illegal experiment "created" by an outlaw genetic engineer named Robert Cobb. Robert Cobb had a dream of an Orion woman with higher than animal intellect. He had obtained a pregnant "specimen" and manipulated the child in her mother's womb.
Cobb never found out if he had succeeded or not, because shortly after Ryika's birth he was killed by her mother. It was six months before mother and daughter were found by Star Fleet. Ryika's mother was accidentally killed when she attacked the humans that had found them.
One of the Star fleet officers that found her took her in. Lt. Maria Thompson raised the young girl, Ryika, as she was named in documents found in Cobb's lab. Those documents were what allowed Lt. Thompson to keep Ryika, seeing as she was a genetic aberration she could not be sent back to the Orion people.
In years to come it would bear out that not only had Cobb succeeded, but he had exceeded his own expectations as Ryika was determined to be a genius. She learned several languages and three college degrees by the age of thirteen.
Ryika, genius or not, was however an Orion girl, much to many's dismay. Her tastes in clothing and her mannerisms are considered by some to be down right minkish. She is masterful in the art of the vamp, and her wardrobe is exotic and revealing.
Being that she was genetically altered she wasn't permitted into Star fleet, but she has found a profession that permits her to travel in the employ of the Fleet. She aides the Ship's councillor as the Barkeep of the Crew Lounge, after all, everyone talks to their bartender and one of Ryika's degrees is Psychology.
