A woman of mixed Romulan and Vulcan heritage who sits on the quorum hearing Michael Burnham's T'Kal-in-ket on Ni'Var in 3189, representing those born of both peoples.
Shira appears in Unification III, played by Stephanie Belding. By the 32nd century the union of Vulcans and Romulans that Spock began has produced a population descended from both, and Shira speaks for it on the panel.
She sits with the Romulan elder N'Raj and the Vulcan purist V'Kir to hear Burnham argue that Ni'Var should release its SB-19 records so that the cause of the Burn can be traced. Gabrielle Burnham of the Qowat Milat acts as advocate.
The judges are soon arguing among themselves over old grievances. Burnham withdraws rather than deepen the division, and her candour about her own doubts wins the respect of President T'Rina.
