Joval

Risian woman who explains the Horga'hn

A Risian woman in Captain's Holiday who approaches Picard at the resort and explains that the Horga'hn statuette he is displaying is an open invitation to jamaharon.

Joval is a native of the pleasure planet Risa and works at the resort where Picard reluctantly takes shore leave in 2366. She appears in the third-season episode Captain's Holiday.
Before he left, Riker asked the captain to bring him back a Horga'hn, a small carved figure. Picard buys one and keeps it beside his chair while he tries to read, and cannot understand why women keep coming up to him.
Joval is the one who enlightens him. She explains that the Horga'hn is a Risian fertility symbol and that to show it in public is to announce that one is seeking jamaharon. Picard hastily covers the statue and resolves to have words with his first officer.
