A dabo girl who works at Quark's on Deep Space 9 through the Dominion War, played by Cathy DeBuono, who was also Terry Farrell's stand-in on the series.
M'Pella is one of the dabo girls employed at Quark's Bar, seen in the background of Deep Space Nine for several seasons. She was played by Cathy DeBuono.
She stays at her post during the Dominion occupation of the station, seen in Call to Arms and Behind the Lines, and is there to welcome the Starfleet crew back in Sacrifice of Angels. In In the Pale Moonlight she is attacked in the bar by the forger Grathon Tolar, an incident Sisko pays Quark to forget.
Her only real speaking scene comes in The Dogs of War, when she is among the staff who hear Quark believe he is about to become Grand Nagus.
