AT: "xx" Template:Sidebar character Winona Kirk was a Human Starfleet officer during the 23rd century. She was the wife of George Kirk and the mother of James T. Kirk. She was with her husband aboard the USS Kelvin in 2233; they named their younger son after her father James and his father Tiberius.

Alternate reality

Winona giving birth to James T. Kirk.

In 2233 of an alternate reality, the Kelvin fell under the attack of the Romulan mining vessel from the future called the Narada. Winona was in the final stages of pregnancy at the time, and was wheeled to the escape shuttles on order of her husband, who had assumed the duties of command following Captain Robau's death at the hands of Nero. She went into labor shortly before boarding Medical Shuttle 37 and evacuating the ship. George Kirk spent his final moments on the comm with his wife, deciding on the name "James Tiberius" before the Kelvin collided with the Narada.

Winona returned to Earth, ultimately remarried, and settled her family in Iowa. Winona was off-planet when Kirk stole and crashed his step-father's Corvette circa 2245. (Star Trek)

Background information

Winona Kirk was portrayed by Jennifer Morrison. She is also presumably the mother of George Samuel Kirk, but this was never revealed on-screen.

The name "Winona" originated in Vonda N. McIntyre's TOS novel Enterprise: The First Adventure, and became canon with its inclusion in the 2009 film. Writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci revealed Winona was a Starfleet officer, hence her presence aboard the Kelvin and why she was off-world years later.[1]

Only in the credits is it mentioned Winona remarried. A deleted scene had her sons being cared for by their uncle Frank, played by Brad William Henke, who is abusive in her absence.
