The Female Changeling (also known as the Founder Leader in spin-off texts; no actual name for her is ever given), played by Salome Jens, is a fictional character in the Star Trek series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. As a shapeshifting Founder, she is shown assuming several different forms: she appears gelatinous in several episodes, including "The Search, Part I", and impersonates Kira Nerys in "Heart of Stone". In "Behind the Lines", she arrives in the Alpha Quadrant and commands the Dominion's forces in their campaign to take over the quadrant, assisted by aide de camp Weyoun. She is characterized by ruthless efficiency and a distrust for "solids," even those who lead races with which the Dominion is allied. She would order the death of any subordinate, including entire races, without a moment's hesitation.
"Treachery, Faith, and the Great River" reveals that the Female Changeling, like the other Founders, has become infected with a deadly virus designed by Section 31 to eradicate the Founders. In Deep Space Nine's finale, Odo cures the Female Changeling and offers to share the cure with the rest of the Founders if the Female Changeling orders a Dominion surrender. She agrees, offering no resistance to being taken into custody, and shortly thereafter signs armistice papers aboard Deep Space Nine that officially conclude the Dominion War.
