Tima was a Bajoran woman and a former religious novice who converted to the Oralian Way.
In 2323, Tima met Bennek a Cardassian cleric of the Oralian Way. She soon fell in love with him and the two began an intimate relationship which led to her conversion.
In 2328, she was highly despised by other Bajorans because of her conversion and was forced to live in the shanty town of Oralians outside Korto. One day, she was out getting a shipment of food to replace supplies that were destroyed in a terrorist attack. When she and her group arrived at the space port they were attacked by Cardassian soldiers disguised as dock workers and Tima was killed. (DS9 - Terok Nor novel: Day of the Vipers)
