Molly O'Brien is a character in the fictional universe of Star Trek , played by Hana Hatae. She is the daughter of Miles O'Brien and Keiko O'Brien in the series Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
She was born in 2368 to Keiko O'Brien, with Worf as midwife, at Ten-Forward on the Enterprise-D, in the TNG episode "Disaster". Later she moved to Deep Space Nine when Miles was reassigned there. In the DS9 episode "Time's Orphan", the O'Briens went on a picnic to Golana IV, where Molly accidentally fell into an abandoned time portal and emerged as an 18-year-old (played by Michelle Krusiec). From her point of view, she had experienced approximately 10 years of solitary existence. Back at Deep Space Nine she was wild and uncontrollable, and unable to cope with life on the space station. The O'Briens returned to Golana IV, hoping to send her back through the time portal so she could survive. However, she was returned to the point where she had first entered, allowing the adult Molly to help her child counterpart return home.
