Pel
Pel was a Ferengi female who disguised herself as a male to prove that females were capable of making profit.
Posing as a male, Pel worked at Quark's Place on Deep Space 9 in 2370. She advised Quark to stock Gramilian sand peas as a bar snack to increase profits. She later assisted Quark in trade meetings with the Dosi to purchase Tulaberry wine. Her advice was instrumental in obtaining an extended contact with the Dosi. However, she would end up falling in love with Quark.
Rom, who was jealous of Pel, ultimately exposed her as a female. At first, Grand Nagus Zek was going to have Pel and Quark arrested, because it was against Ferengi law to take financial advise from a female, but Quark pointed out to the Nagus that he, too, was guilty, as he had also taken advice from her.
Pel then left the station, as there was no place for a clothed Ferengi female with good business sense. (DS9: "Rules of Acquisition")
- Pel was played by Helene Udy.
