In the mirror universe, Leonora Digiorno was a Terran female and a civilian and was never a member of Imperial Starfleet. Instead, she worked as a teacher and was consequently a member of the Terran Empire's lower class (In Between Days: Fortune). On May 18, 2165, Leonora, an abuse victim, was murdered in cold blood by her lesbian lover, Leah Benson (mirror), a pilot on Empress Hoshi Sato's USS Defiant, in a fit of drunken rage when Leonora failed to go on a tequila run fast enough (In Between Days: Fortune).
