Half-Klingon, half-human former Maquis engineer who became Voyager's chief engineer and later married Tom Paris.
B'Elanna Torres is the half-Klingon, half-human chief engineer of the USS Voyager in Star Trek: Voyager. She begins as a member of the Maquis who is thrown together with Starfleet when both crews are stranded in the Delta Quadrant, and her fiery temper and sharp mind become defining traits.
Over the series she wrestles with her mixed heritage, often feeling that her Klingon side is a curse before learning to accept it as a strength. She forms a deep relationship with Tom Paris, which grows from friendship into marriage, and the two have a daughter named Miral. Her engineering skill keeps Voyager flying through countless crises, and she earns respect from Captain Janeway and the rest of the crew.
Torres is remembered as a passionate, brilliant character whose journey from rebellious outcast to trusted officer is among the show's central arcs.
