Alixia in Neelix's dream.

Alixia was a Talaxian female, and one of Neelix's sisters. She and Neelix grew up on Rinax, a moon of Talax. Alixia and Neelix were very close and spent many hours together. They would explore the Caves of Touth and the equatorial dust shrouds, and hunted arctic spiders together.

Alixia died in the war with the Haakonian Order around 2356, along with most of the rest of her family. She, along with the rest of the family, were killed on Rinax by the metreon cascade. Neelix missed her very much, and as a remembrance, he kept a necklace of hers.

When he was struck by an energy blast and killed only to be saved by Seven's nanoprobes, he questioned his belief in the afterlife. Chakotay helped him complete a vision quest, during which he met Alixia. He at first sees her at a party on Voyager, then follows her to the Great Forest, which is the afterlife for Talaxians. When Neelix tells her that when he died, he looked for her but did not see her. Alixia told him that the afterlife was a lie, a made-up place invented because Talaxians feared death. She told him that there was no point to life, and she dissolved into a corpse in front of him. This vision was probably just an expression of his anxiety over his beliefs. (VOY: "Mortal Coil")

Years after her death, Neelix still composed letters to Alixia, under file index 291 in his personal database. (VOY: "Once Upon a Time")

Alixia was played by Robin Stapler.
