Jana Karyn

Jana Karyn was a Vedek who having survived the Occupation as a Bajoran prostitute, Jana Karyn eventually devoted herself to faith and became a Vedek. She was a huge influence in many people's lives through her charity work.
==Background Information==
Little is known about her parents save for her personal story about how they died:
"My parents never accepted the Occupation. They never joined the violent part of the Resistance, but they did everything else they could to weaken it. They helped leak reports of Cardassian massacres, hid Resistance fighters and Bajorans wanted on trumped up charges, let Bajoran clergy come to our home so that our faith could be kept alive. When I was around 15, they even started publishing an underground newsletter urging Bajorans to resist peacefully--to simply refuse to obey them any longer. And then, one night, I came home late to find that the house had been raided. The publishing equipment was gone, the entire house looted. My parents were dead."
Her first 'love' was a man named Joran, who she met when she was 16 year old after her parents had died.  He looked after her before selling her into prostitution for money and food.  He was placed into prison as a collaborator at the end of the Occupation.  She later lived in a monastary run by a Vedek Tunai.
Upon meeting with Marcus Wolfe CP/Marcus Wolfe, she was often associated with him because of his role as Guide within the Bajoran community. Jana was made Vedek in 2371. When the Dominion War struck, Jana was a very frequent member of the opposition and would often get too much attention. Her relationship with Jason Orillia was her ultimate undoing. When her life was threatened in order to get information, Orillia freely gave it up prompting Jana to stage a protest.  During the demonstration on the promenade she was shot with a phaser rifle by Corat Damar CP/Corat Damar on August 15, 2374. As a large influence in Marcus' life, he named his daughter Karyn Dax-Wolfe in Jana's honour.
After the Occupation, Jana was involved in charity work, including working in orphanages. Jana Korvin was a boy living in one who took on her name in her honour after her death.
