Kira Nerys

You may be looking for the fan, Kira-nerys. 
Kira Nerys is a major character in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, played by Nana Visitor. Major and later Colonel Kira (Bajoran naming style puts the surname first) was the second in command under Benjamin Sisko on the Federation space station, Deep Space Nine. Of Bajoran race, she was a member of the Bajoran Militia, rather than a Starfleet officer. 
Kira is an unusual Trek character; she spent her childhood as a terrorist fighting the Cardassians, starts out hostile to Starfleet, and has a strong religious faith in a largely atheist universe. Her closest associations are her friendships with Odo, Jadzia Dax, Tora Ziyal (Gul Dukat's illegitimate daughter) and the O'Brien family, whose child she carries. Her friendship with Odo eventually turns into romance, and she also gets to snuggle up with Bajor's first minister, Shakaar, and a leading candidate for Kai (the planet's religious leader), Vedek Bareil. As Dukat puts it, You do like powerful men, don't you?
==Fan Perspectives==
Kira is a reasonably popular character with fans. In a 1995 poll including all Trek characters, she came sixth of the DS9 characters, and was the second most popular woman after Jadzia.Brenda S. Antrim 'Netchatter', in Multi-Species Medicine #18
Fans often discuss her relationship with Dukat, both in canon and in fanworks.
==Fanfiction==
In fanfiction, Kira is frequently paired with Odo, as in canon. There's also a fair amount of Kira/Dukat, much of it featuring dubious consent. Shakaar tends to appear mainly in Odo/Kira stories as an unsuccessful rival or angst generator. There is a little femslash, with the most common pairing probably being Kira/Jadzia Dax. The Intendant is another frequent f/f partner. Gen fanfiction often focuses on her background as a terrorist and her difficulties adapting to life in peacetime.
Kira-centric fanfiction can be found at Archive of Our Own, Bajorarama, fanfiction.net and Trekiverse archives. Odo's PADD hosts Odo/Kira fiction.
