Anya

Anya

Anya was the guardian of Salia, the future leader of planet Daled IV. The two traveled aboard the USS Enterprise-D en route to the planet in 2365. She was intensely concerned with the safety of her young charge, and attempted to restrict repairs initiated by Lt. Commander La Forge, as well as requesting the death of all patients aboard the Enterprise-D with contagious diseases. When the request was not met, Anya became a raging monster intent on murdering the patients herself. Security had to restrain her.

Anya was an allasomorph with the ability to alter her physical form. She typically opted for the form of an elderly woman, but occasionally changed her appearance as the situation dictated. To dissuade Wesley Crusher from pursuing Salia as a romantic interest, she transformed into a fierce creature. When the Enterprise-D reached Daled IV, Anya was able to leave Salia and return home. (TNG: "The Dauphin")

In her regular form, Anya was played by Paddi Edwards. As a teenage girl, Anya was played by Mädchen Amick. As a furry animal, Anya was played by Cindy Sorenson, and as a large creature, Anya was played by stuntman Alex Daniels, who received no credit for his performance. The costume worn by Amick as the teenage girl was auctioned off in the It's A Wrap! sale and auction, although it either lost its color or had been altered to be tan.
