Jadzia is the host to a Trill symbiont that merged to create a unique individual, Jadzia Dax. Jadzia is a humanoid with a normal life span and Dax was born in 2018, Jadzia is Dax's 9th host...now that's out of the way.
Star Trek has a vast universe with so many characters with deep backstories to love 💚 but Jadzia Dax is my all time favorite. She is a fierce warrior with a soft heart, she is smart as she is beautiful, and her loyalty is bar none. She was a strong female to look up to when there were very few.
Her character was a pioneer, not just in female sexuality, but society standards of how a woman is suppose to act. Although she was a female, her symbiont Dax was gender fluid and they pushed the boundaries of DS9's era, as Kirk and Uhura had so infamously done in the 1960's with the first interracial kiss on television. Jadzia had no shame about her romatic life and lived with such zest.
Jadzia and Worf fall in love after his transfer from The Enterprise (TNG) to the Deep Space Nine station. They are my favorite Trek couple, thus my icon. 😁 Their relation was was a little rocky at times but they brought the best out of each other and loved each other deeply. Their marriage came to an abrupt end when Gul Dukat kills Jadzia as she and Worf are planning to start a family. Her death was the haredest for me in all of the Star Trek series, I begin crying as soon as the episode starts. 😢 Although Jadzia dies, Dax lives on and is placed into a new host, Ezri.
