Female Shapeshifter; This metamorphic individual assumed a female humanoid form in 2371 to greet Odo when he returned to the Founders' homeworld. She instructed him in the ways and history of her people. She also told Odo of his origin. "The Search, Parts I and II".

To learn why Odo chose to live among the solids rather than his own people, on Stardate 48521 she impersonated Kira Nerys and pretended to be trapped on a distant moon with Odo. "Heart of Stone".

She boarded the Starship Defiant on Stardate 49982.4 to escort Odo to the Founders' homeworld to be judged by the Great Link. The Great Link judged him and made him a human being. "Broken Link".

This individual became stranded in the Alpha Quadrant in early 2374 during the Dominion war. She visited Odo at Terok Nor, hoping to tempt him to return to his people. "Behind the Lines".

Although she linked extensively with Odo, she was disappointed when Odo chose to remain with the solids in the Alpha Quadrant. "Sacrifice of Angels".

The Founder Leader did not realize that in linking with Odo, she became infected with a deadly morphogenic virus that had been created by Section 31 with the intent of wiping out the entire Great Link. "Dogs of War".

Despite the debilitating effects of the disease, the Founder Leader commanded the forces of the Dominion and its allies during the Dominion war. Even during the final days of the war, when the Alpha Quadrant powers had turned the tide against the Dominion, the Founder Leader refused to surrender, fearing that the Alpha powers would seek retribution against her people. She even ordered a brutal campaign of destruction against the Cardassian people when they began to rebel against Dominion rule. It was only after Odo linked with her one more time (in the process curing her of the disease) that she believed that the Federation would not permit her people to be destroyed. The Founder Leader subsequently ordered the surrender of all Dominion forces, and later stood trial in a Federation court for her actions during the Dominion war. "What You Leave Behind, Parts I and II".

The Female Shapeshifter also appeared in "Favor the Bold", "You Are Cordially Invited", "Treachery, Faith, and the Great River", "Penumbra", "'Til Death Do Us Part", "Strange Bedfellows", "The Changing Face of Evil", "Tacking Into the Wind", "Dogs of War",
