Lady Qi'ra is a recurring anti-hero in the epic space opera franchise Star Wars, appearing as the deuteragonist of the 2018 film Solo: A Star Wars Story and the main antagonist of both the 2021 comic crossover event Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters and the 2021-2022 comic crossover event Star Wars: Crimson Reign. She also appeared in the comic crossover event Star Wars: Hidden Empire.
Qi'ra was originally a street orphan from the industrial planet Corellia who, alongside her partner and lover Han, worked as a thief for a gang called the White Worms. Eventually, Qi'ra was separated from Han and taken in by Dryden Vos, the public leader of the brutal crime syndicate Crimson Dawn. When Vos was killed, Qi'ra became the apprentice of Crimson Dawn's true leader: the renegade Sith Lord Maul.
Before his eventual death, Maul instilled a sense of hatred in Qi'ra towards the Galactic Empire and the Sith Lords that ruled over it. As the new leader of Crimson Dawn, Qi'ra began plotting in the shadows and gathering allies in the hopes that she could eventually free the galaxy from the reign of the Sith by creating a Syndicate War that would destabilize the order that the Empire had installed.
She was portrayed by Emilia Clarke, who also played Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones. In Star Wars: Forces of Destiny, Qi'ra was voiced by Olivia Hack, who also voiced Ty Lee in Avatar: The Last Airbender.
