Ensign Ezri Dax (played by Nicole de Boer) is a counselor aboard Deep Space Nine in the seventh season of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine".
[edit] Overview
A Trill Starfleet officer, upon leaving Starfleet Academy, Ensign Ezri Tigan is assigned to the USS Destiny as assistant ship's counselor. She has no interest in becoming joined with a Trill symbiont (in the episode "Shadows and Symbols").
After Lieutenant Commander Jadzia Dax is killed aboard Deep Space Nine, the Dax symbiont is saved by Dr. Julian Bashir and sent to Trill ("Tears of the Prophets"). However, the symbiont becomes gravely ill during its journey on the Destiny and, as the only Trill on board, Tigan is asked to join with Dax in order to save its life ("Shadows and Symbols"). Ezri is Dax's eighth host ("Dax", "Facets").
Upon joining, Ezri is assigned to Deep Space Nine and promoted to lieutenant junior grade ("Afterimage"). She serves as counselor.
Jadzia was married to Lieutenant Commander Worf, who at first refuses to speak to Ezri, convinced that Jadzia has gone on to Sto-Vo-Kor and can no longer exist through the Dax symbiont ("Afterimage"). However, the two later become friends and, briefly, lovers ("Penumbra").
Toward the end of the series, Ezri begins a romance with Dr. Julian Bashir ("What You Leave Behind").
In Pocket Books' non-canon DS9 Relaunch novels, Ezri remains on Deep Space Nine but moves from counseling to command, receiving a promotion to lieutenant and becoming executive officer of the USS Defiant. Following a mission on the Trill homeworld, she and Bashir end their romance but decide to remain close friends.
