An
empathic metamorph from the
Krios system who traveled aboard the
Enterprise to
Valt Minor on Stardate 45761.3, there to marry Chancellor
Alrik and end a struggle between the two worlds. Kamala was very beautiful, and able to instantly change her
personality to reflect the desires of any
male; as she was in the final stages of her
sexual maturity when coming aboard, she caused a great deal of
disruption among the
Enterprise crew. It was planned that she would permanently bond herself to Alrik; however, after working closely with Captain
Picard during the journey, she decided to bond herself to him, because she liked the way she was with him. However, she acquired Picard's sense of
duty as a result, and chose to marry Alrik anyway, to secure peace for her people.
(Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Perfect Mate," season 5. Played by Famke Janssen. Interestingly, Janssen was one of the actresses considered for the role of Jadzia Dax on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and her makeup in this episode became the basis for Terry Farrell's makeup on that series.)
