Rosalind Chao – Then
Rosalind Chao’s presence graced two iconic Star Trek series: Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. In these shows, she portrayed a character named Keiko O’Brien, who was a botanist and the head of plant science aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise-D. Additionally, Keiko took on the role of a schoolteacher for children residing on the space station Deep Space Nine.
Her character was characterized by a strong-willed nature and a deep connection to Japanese traditions, which were beautifully woven into her portrayal. In 2367, Keiko O’Brien’s story took an interesting turn as she became the wife of Starfleet officer Miles O’Brien, cementing their union in a heartfelt Japanese-Irish ceremony.
