Melora Pazlar is a female Elaysian, a species from a planet where gravity is weaker than on most other planets. As of stardate 47229.1, she was an Ensign in Starfleet, and a cartographer.
Pazlar came to the station prior to a mapping mission to the Gamma Quadrant. Because the gravity on DS9 was too strong for her, she had to rely on either a wheelchair, or an exoskeletal network of flexible metal beams worn over her body to help her move around the station.

Pazlar started the treatment, but when she realized that she wouldn't be able to enjoy low-gravity environments any more, she decided to discontinue the process.
