After assimilating Earth culture, would she be VII of IX?
That was kind of my take and lead to an, “Aha!” moment for me when “The Chase” aired.

For my son’s eighth birthday party, I did a Star Trek theme. It was pretty cool, actually (the “wormholes” in the photo are Bugles). His dad and I wore our scuba diving wetsuits with tin-foil badges that looked like ST communicators, offering a passable imitation of some kind of Star Fleet uniform.
Our son was thrilled, and gushed, “MOM!!! You look EXACTLY like Seven of Nine!”
If only.
You represeted something from Trek with Bugles and you went with wormholes?
We were watching Deep Space Nine.
So, banking as usual, eh?

Adds extra oomph to that line in Larry Niven’s short piece Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex where he says that it would be “easier for Superman to mate with an ear of corn” than with an Earth woman
Easier for Lois Lane to mate with an ear of corn. Superman would presumably be about equally genetically incompatible with either.
As long as they used lots of butter . . .
My mother was Eighth of Fourteen. Grandpa liked flying his kite.
