<P> Several episodes such as "The Raven" explored her background and younger life as Annika Hansen before she was assimilated by the Borg . Her romantic life is more of a mystery due to her Borg emotional restrictions; she does proposition Harry Kim but he turns her down . Later on with the Doctor's assistance she tries dating other crew unsuccessfully, while later exploring intimate relationships with a hologram of Chakotay . Finally, in the series finale Endgame she is involved in a short - lived romantic relationship with Chakotay which includes at least three dates and first kiss before she "alters the relationship's parameters". However, in one alternate timeline they get married and in another she is killed with the rest of the Voyager crew ("Timeless"). Due to the nature of altered timelines it is not really clear what the true story is, but the future Federation ship Relativity tries to set things right . </P> <P> Although her real name was known to her crewmates, after joining the Voyager crew she chose to continue to be called Seven of Nine, though she allowed "Seven" to be used informally . </P> <P> Following the third season of Star Trek: Voyager, the production team decided that the main cast character of Kes was to be dropped from the show . It was decided that Captain Kathryn Janeway needed a contrasting character, and so Seven of Nine was developed to provide this new angle . In addition, it had been a previous Star Trek staple to have a character that could provide a third - person view on the human condition . Prior examples had been Spock in Star Trek: The Original Series and Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation . </P> <P> After being cast, actress Jeri Ryan acknowledged she had hardly even seen Star Trek, and had no idea what the Borg were . To prepare her, the producers gave her a copy of Star Trek: First Contact and the Star Trek Encyclopedia the day before she was due to test for the part . She was specifically told not to base her performance on the Borg Queen from the film as she was a "completely different animal and (they) were creating something entirely new". Her acting experience up until this point had consisted of television movies, guest appearances as well as Dark Skies . </P>
