Inhabitant of the planet Edora, mother to Garan. Laira lost her husband and found herself interested in Jack O'Neill when he brought his team to the planet to search for naquadah deposits. Laira took SG-1 to a cliff overlooking a lake to witness the fire rain, discovering that it would soon impact the surface of the planet. The following day, Laira encouraged her people to leave for Earth until the fire rain abated. Before she could do so, a meteor struck very near the Stargate, burying it and leaving her stranded with one third of her people, along with O'Neill. Laira told Jack of how she had mourned the death of her husband for one hundred days, never leaving her home, never speaking to the people in her community. That was roughly the amount of time O'Neill and Laira remained together on Edora, until Teal'c managed to get through the Stargate and dig himself partially to the surface. Laira, very nearly ready to throw O'Neill's Earth devices away, activated the walkie-talkie that had been a part of his uniform, not realizing its intent. Knowing it would most likely separate her from Jack, she reported the sound later that day, and O'Neill went to recover Teal'c and dig him the rest of the way to the surface. O'Neill left shortly afterward, possibly leaving Laira with child. PLAYED BY - Michelle Green FIRST APPEARED - A Hundred Days
