Taliyah was a Skagaran girl and descendant of the Skagarans who abducted Humans on Earth during the late 19th century and brought them to a planet in the Delphic Expanse where she lived.
Taliyah was one of Bethany's students, and was learning about Human/Skagaran history when the crew of Enterprise NX-01 visited the planet in 2153. Bethany asked her to tell Jonathan Archer how Humans and Skagarans wound up living together. (ENT: "North Star")
Taliyah was played by actress Alexandria M. Salling.
"Taliyah" is the name of David A. Goodman's daughter. He originally used it in the episode "Precious Cargo", as the name of the character who became Kaitaama. Later, when Chris Black did a rewrite of the script for "North Star", he gave this alien child the name "Taliyah". Goodman was grateful to Black for putting the name back into an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise. ("North Star" audio commentary, ENT Season 3 Blu-ray special features)
Taliyah reappears as an adult in the Gallery SNW novel The High Country, which focuses on another group of Skagarans. It is revealed that Taliyah has a human ancestor.
