Memory Alpha

Ptera was a Vhnori who was accidentally transported to USS Voyager after her death. The Doctor was able to revive her, but this action shook her belief in the Next Emanation, which was the Vhnori version of the afterlife.

When the Vhnori die, subspace vacuoles take their bodies to the next realm. When she discovered that the vacuoles were found on a deserted asteroid, it was very difficult for her.

Ptera asked to be send back even if it meant her death. When Voyager tried to beam her back in another vacuole, it did not work, and she died. This time, The Doctor was unable to revive her, and her body was beamed to the asteroid. (VOY: "Emanations")

Ptera was played by Cecile Callan.
