Tora Ziyal was the daughter of Cardassian Gul Skrain Dukat and Bajoran woman Tora Naprem. Ziyal was a painter who tried to close the rift between her two heritage through her art.
When the Dominion and Cardassia briefly occupuied station Deep Space 9 in the years 2373-2374, Ziyal befriended Jake Sisko, son of Starfleet Captain Benjamin Sisko. Jake started to write an article about Ziyal's life that eventually tuned into a biography. Jake promised Ziyal that he would keep her mother's earring, all she had to remember her by, safe. Jake kept his promise.
Ziyal developed romantic feelings for Elim Garak.
Ziyal was murdered by Gul Corat Damar in 2374, as the Cardassians were evacuating the station. Captain Sisko used his influence as Emissary of the Prophets to get Ziyal buried in Kendra Province. (DS9 novelization Call to Arms, Sacrifice of Angels, DS9 Prophecy and Change short story: "Three Sides to Every Story")
Ziyal's place as Dukat's illegitimate daughter was taken by the new-born baby girl named Cerin Teresa (by Cerin Mika) in 2375. She never knew her baby half-sister. (DS9 episode: "Covenant"; novel: Mission: Gamma: "Cathedral").
In 2376, the Cardassian Institute of Art donated Ziyals paintings to the people of Bajor as a symbol of reconciliation between the two races. The paintings were displayed on Deep Space 9's Promenade, in the space formerly occupied by Elim Garak's tailor shop.(DS9 novels: Mission Gamma: Twilight, This Gray Spirit)
