"Sometimes I like it when the bad guy wins".
– Jadzia Dax, 2373 ("For the Uniform")
Jadzia Dax was a joined Trill and the eighth host of the Dax symbiont from 2367 to 2374. She was a Starfleet science officer who served on space station Deep Space 9 under the command of Captain Benjamin Sisko.
Early life and career
She was born in 2341, on stardate 23634.1, on the Trill homeworld. Growing up, Jadzia was always a shy and quiet child. She lived with her mother, father and sister on Trill and was always very driven by her ambitions to one day be joined to a symbiont. She spent much of her early life focusing on achieving her goals. She was the only member of her family who would ever become joined to a symbiont. (DS9: "Equilibrium", "Emissary", "Playing God", "Invasive Procedures")
Prior to her joining, Jadzia attended Starfleet Academy and applied to the Trill Symbiosis Commission for joining after graduation. While at the Academy, she earned Premier Distinctions in astrophysics, exoarchaeology, exobiology and zoology. (DS9: "Invasive Procedures", "Playing God")
After working hard, Jadzia was initially rejected for joining and eliminated from the program by her field docent, Curzon Dax in 2364. She successfully re-applied that same year and became the only Trill in history to successfully complete the program after having been rejected. (DS9: "Equilibrium") This experience would haunt her for years to come and is one reason why she never had positive feelings about returning to Trill. She never could understand why she was washed out of the program by Curzon. (DS9: "Equilibrium", "Facets").
She was joined to Dax in 2367 after the death of its previous host, Curzon. After being approved for joining, she had heard of Curzon's deteriorating health and requested that she receive the Dax symbiont after Curzon's death. Later, during her zhian'tara, she learned that Curzon's reasons for rejecting her original application were personal, since he had actually fallen in love with her. (DS9: "Facets")
After being joined to Dax, Jadzia's training and experiences made the adjustment to having seven different lifetimes of memories and experiences relatively easy. The once shy, hardworking and dedicated Jadzia became a lively, confident and outgoing person with a passion for life.
"In order to know who you are, it's important to know who you've been." - Jadzia Dax
Jadzia was very comfortable with who she was. She was later described by Garak as "vital, alive... she owned herself." (DS9: "Afterimage")
After joining, Jadzia picked up on the habits of her previous hosts, such as clasping her hands behind her back, taking up Klingon martial arts, an interest in Klingon culture and playing Ferengi tongo, just to name a few. (DS9: "Dax", "Blood Oath", "Playing God", "Business as Usual")
Even as an ensign and lieutenant jg in Starfleet, she had dealings with many prominent officers. She was acquainted with Captain Keogh, though the two did not get along. She was also friends with Captain Shelby, who even owed her a favor, which Jadzia eventually cashed in. (DS9: "The Jem'Hadar", "You Are Cordially Invited").
