Tora Naprem was a Bajoran woman.
During the Occupation of Bajor, she became Prefect Gul Skrain Dukat's mistress, This relationship bloomed to the point where Naprem became pregnant and gave birth to Dukat's half-Bajoran, half-Cardassian daughter, whom they named Tora Ziyal. (DS9 episode: "Indiscretion") As a child, Ziyal tried to administer the harshest cleaner to scrub her face in an attempt to wash away the greyish tint from her skin and make it seem cleaner like she believed her mother was, but Tora Naprem needed to mend the scratches inflicted from this attempt, which caused her to weep. (DS9 - Mission Gamma novel: This Gray Spirit)
Shortly after Ziyal's birth, Basso Tromac revealed Tora Naprem's relationship with Dukat to Kira Meru. (ST - Terok Nor novel: Night of the Wolves)
Near the end of the Occupation, Dukat realized he could not protect his Bajoran family as his enemies would use them to ruin his career. So instead, he arranged for Naprem and Ziyal to travel on the Ravinok, where they would rendezvous with a freighter which would take them to Lissepia, where she and Ziyal could live out their lives in peace. This plan was undone, however, when two Breen warships attacked the Ravinok and forced it to crash on the planet Dozaria. Naprem died in the crash. (DS9 episode: "Indiscretion")
