An actress in the troupe of the poet Kelis on a Bronze Age world in 2376, whose jealousy of B'Elanna Torres threatens to expose the stranded engineer to a warlike patron.
Layna appears in the sixth-season Voyager episode Muse, played by Kellie Waymire. She performs in the company that stages Kelis's plays about the Eternals of Voyager, stories he has drawn from the logs of the crashed Delta Flyer and from Torres herself.
Layna is in love with Kelis and resents the time he spends away with his mysterious source of inspiration. She follows him, finds the shuttle and realises that Torres is a living woman rather than a spirit.
She threatens to tell the patron the truth, which could cost Torres her life. At the final performance, as Kelis improvises an ending meant to turn his lord away from war, Layna has the chance to denounce her rival and in the end lets Torres depart, her transport back to Voyager becoming part of the play.
