Name: Sikozu Svala Shanti Sugaysi Shanu
Actress’ Name: Raelee Hill
Show/Book/Film: Farscape
Background: Sikozu grew up in Scarran space as a member of the Kalish people, expected to be subservient to the Scarrans. What the Scarrans never knew, however, was that Sikozu wasn’t a Kalish, but a Bioloid, or organic robot clone, in Kalish form created by the Kalish resistance with the ability to give off an intense radiation that kills Scarrans. She cannot reveal her true identity until the resistance is ready, so she existed as a normal Kalish, studying in school and eventually joining the Organization, her childhood dream. Her first assignment was to study Leviathans, so she followed a harvesting team to the Leviathan graveyard, where she met John Crichton. Because he wouldn’t let the harvesters kill his ship, Sikozu found herself with a burning failure on her record, but with no way off the Leviathan, she stayed with John. When she met Scorpius, she was drawn to his impressive intellect and began a dangerous affair with him. Aboard Moya, she offered her knowledge of Scarran space to the beleaguered crew, especially when, while storming the military base Katratzi, she was able to deal a decisive blow to the Scarran Empire. With Moya’s crew, her knowledge of Leviathans was put to practical use and she learned how to deal with non-Kalish, but her survivalist attitude changed little and she soon followed Scorpius back to the PeaceKeepers. Whose side she’s fully on, if she is at all, remains a mystery.
