Full name: Annika Hansen (human); Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix Zero-One (Borg)

Borg drone whose link to the Collective was severed by the crew of Voyager when she and her fellow drones attempted to assimilate Voyager, during an uneasy alliance with the crew of Voyager which was initiated by Captain Janeway to help the Borg fight Species 8472 in exchange for safe passage through Borg space (VOY: "Scorpion"). Thus separated from the Collective, Seven's human physiology reasserted itself, and the Doctor removed most of Seven's Borg implants to increase her chances of survival. The use of dermaplastic grafts and follicle stimulation gave her a nearly normal human appearance (VOY: "The Gift").

Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix Zero-One, was born a human female named Annika Hansen in 2348. Annika's parents were noted scientists who were on a journey to find and study the Borg, but were eventually assimilated by them (VOY: "Dark Frontier"). Seven found their ship, the Raven, crashed on a moon claimed by the B'omar (VOY: "The Raven"). Having spent nearly her entire life as a Borg drone, Seven of Nine did not consider herself to be a human at first. She objected strongly to losing her Borg identity against her will. Her Voyager shipmates, including Captain Janeway, were nevertheless committed to helping her make what proved to be a difficult return to human society.

Still, Seven often acted Borg-like and emotionless. She once condemned a member of Species 8472 to certain death at the hands of the Hirogen, when she allowed them access to the creature (VOY: "Prey"). Seven made a fateful mistake when she believed that the arms dealer Kovin had conducted experiments on her. Kovin panicked and attempted a suicide attack on Voyager, in the course of which he died (VOY: "Retrospect"). A completely surprising aspect of her life as a Borg resurfaced when Janeway was going to comply with the Omega Directive and destroy the molecule at all cost. Seven, on the other hand, saw perfection in the Omega Molecule which was some sort of a Borg religion (VOY: "The Omega Directive"). Seven found a friend in a Borg drone called "One" that accidentally developed around the Doctor's holographic emitter. Similar to Janeway's care about Seven one year ago, Seven now introduced One into his own individuality. She was saddened when One sacrificed himself in a battle against a Borg vessel (VOY: "Drone"). Under the influence of a Borg vinculum, Seven developed multiple personalities, until the device could be fixed (VOY: "Infinite Regress"). Seven was confronted with her past when the Borg Queen called her back to the Collective. But eventually her loyalty to the Voyager crew and the desire to stay with her new friends prevailed (VOY: "Dark Frontier"). A severe malfunction in her cortical implant occurred in 2377, but Seven could be saved with the help of Icheb's implant (VOY: "Imperfection"). Seven was attempting to help Iko, a Nygean prisoner who had been sentenced to death, but now felt remorse. Unfortunately, her plea to spare his life turned out unsuccessful (VOY: "Repentance").

Seven had been romantically involved with the male drone Axum in an environment known as "Unimatrix Zero" (VOY: "Unimatrix Zero"). As a human, she first attempted to develop romantic feelings when she dated a male crew member (VOY: "Someone to Watch Over Me"). She was unaware of the Doctor's crush on her at that time. Seven dated a holographic version of Commander Chakotay in order to further explore romantic relationships. But a fail-safe mechanism that was laid out to prevent emotions in Borg drones put a limit to this desire (VOY: "Human Error"). Still, Seven became romantically involved with the actual Chakotay (VOY: "Endgame").
