Marika aboard Voyager in 2376.
Marika Willkarah was a female Bajoran Starfleet officer who served aboard the USS Excalibur during the late 24th century, during which time she became assimilated by the Borg.
Marika as a Borg drone.
As a Borg drone, she was a member of Seven's unimatrix, where she was assigned the designation of Three of Nine, Auxiliary Processor of Unimatrix Zero One.
After temporarily being separated from Borg collective by the crash of their ship, Willkarah, along with three other drones - Lansor, P'Chan and Seven - were joined in an ad-hoc collective linked directly through their subspace transceivers. When the drones were returned to the Collective, this anomaly persisted and after Seven's separation the three found themselves isolated in the hive mind.
Willkarah and the others managed to escape the collective and have their implants removed. However it was not possible for them to remove the transceivers, a condition that meant their ad-hoc collective persisted and never truly allowed for any of them to be alone. In 2376 the three former drones sought Seven's help in breaking the link so they could live as individuals.
Ultimately it was discovered that the only way they could exist separately was if the transceivers were removed, the result of which would be death within a month. Willkarah and the other two agreed to accept this shortened life as the cost for true freedom. Willkarah decided to live the remainder of her life aboard Voyager. (VOY: "Survival Instinct")
- Marika Willkarah was played by Bertila Damas.
Apocrypha
Marika is the main character of the story Brief Candle By Christopher L. Bennett, in the Star Trek: Voyager 10th Anniversery short story anthology, "Distant Shores". Her capture by the Borg is seen in short story Making a Difference in the New Frontier anthology No Limits. (Though it doesn't explain how she survived the destruction of the Borg cube she was taken to.)
