Starfleet botanist, formerly assigned to the Enterprise-D, later stationed at Deep Space 9. Born Keiko Ishikawa, she married fellow crew member Miles O'Brien in 2367. Their wedding, held aboard the Enterprise-D in the Ten-Forward Lounge, was a mixture of Japanese and Irish traditions. Keiko gave birth to a girl, Molly O'Brien, a year later. Molly was born in Ten-Forward during a ship-wide systems failure. In 2372, Keiko became pregnant with her second child. Keiko's second pregnancy nearly ended disastrously when she was seriously injured in an accident aboard the Runabout Volga during a botanical survey mission to Torad IV. Dr. Bashir saved her life, but it was necessary to remove her unborn child and implant it into the body of Kira Nerys. Keiko and Miles subsequently invited Kira to live with them in their quarters so that they could help care for her while she carried their child to term. While Kira carried her child, Keiko was captured by an alien entity known as a Pah-wraith who briefly gained control of her mind and body. The Pah-wraith had intended to use Keiko in an elaborate plan to kill the Bajoran Prophets. Fortunately, the plan failed, and Keiko was released from the entity. In 2373, Kira delivered Kirayoshi O'Brien in a traditional Bajoran birthing ceremony. Keiko O'Brien was first seen in "Data's Day" (TNG). |
