Roxann Dawson as B’Elanna Torres
B’Elanna Torres, played by Roxann Dawson, had the distinction of being half-human and half-Klingon. B’Elanna Torres had a conflict, which stemmed from her being a hybrid of both Klingon and human.

Kirstie Alley as Saavik
Kirstie Alley made her debut as Saavik in the movie Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. She was a Vulcan, and a very attractive one at that.
Fans liked Saavik because of her strength and beauty, but unfortunately, Kirstie Alley left the show after unsuccessful contract negotiations.
Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine
Jeri Ryan played one of the most beautiful characters to ever grace television. In Star Trek, she played the character Seven of Nine. The name sounds like some type of card game, but it actually fits very well. Seven of Nine is a former Borg (presumably the seventh made out of nine). She was eventually freed and tried to find out everything about her human side.
Seven of Nine was one of those characters who had a conflict to deal with internally. She was a Borg trying to find her humanity. Not to mention, she rocked a skin-tight leotard like no other. You go, girl!
