Sha're

Sha're was an Abydonian woman and wife to Dr. Daniel Jackson. She is the daughter of Kasuf and sister of Skaara.

1996
When a Tau'ri team of explorers arrived through the Stargate (their first mission), they quickly befriended the local population, supporting and defending them from Ra. Sha're was presented as a "gift" to the team's scientist, Dr. Daniel Jackson, from Abydos' elders. Sha're pronounced Daniel Jackson's first name as /danˌjɛlˈ/ rather than as /dænˈjəlˌ/.

Later, when Ra and his Jaffa were killed by the uprising Abydonian population, Daniel voluntarily remained on the planet to live with Sha're, whom he now had feelings for.

1997
After only a year of marital bliss, Abydos was attacked by the Goa'uld System Lord Apophis and his Serpent Guards, seeking potential hosts for his beloved queen Amaunet. Sha're was captured by Apophis' First Prime, Teal'c, and Apophis hypnotized her with his Kara kesh. Apophis, on first sight, desired Sha're for her beauty.

Sha're was brought to Chulak, with Skaara. She was separated from him and, after being stripped, bathed, and dressed in a diaphanous gown, Sha're was kept in a chamber with other women, all potential applicants hosts for Amaunet.

Following Airman Carol Weterings rejection, Teal'c selected Sha're and she was brought to Apophis. Sha're struggled all the way, which Apophis admired and which furthered his attraction. Sha're was once again hypnotized with Apophis' Kara kesh and was promptly stripped naked and placed upon an altar. Amaunet was brought out and was pleased with the potential host. Amaunet then took control of Sha're's body.

After failing to rescue Sha're, Daniel, who by this time had returned to Earth, resolved to stay with Stargate Command, to continue his search. This search would go on for two and a half years.

1998
With Amaunet still controlling her, Sha're was forced to mate with Apophis' host and became pregnant with their son: a Harcesis, a human child of Goa'uld parents who possessed all Goa'uld knowledge, a creature whose existence was forbidden. Apophis wished the child to be his new host, and so hid Sha're away on Abydos so the child's existence wouldn't be revealed to his enemies. Sha're at this time regained control of her body--her symbiote, Amaunet, was forced to sleep or risk killing the unborn child.

In the final stages of her pregnancy, Sha're was found by Dr. Daniel Jackson and Teal'c. Sha're planned to return with them to Stargate Command to ensure the child's safety, surrender Amaunet's Goa'uld knowledge, and possibly find a way to suppress the symbiote permanently. As they arrived at the Stargate, however, Heru'ur, seeking to capture Amaunet and the child, arrived in his ship. Fleeing Heru'ur, they hid in the cave where they once hid from Ra--the shock of Heru'ur's arrival induces labor, forcing Sha're to birth, and Amaunet regains control. When the child is born, Amaunet demands that Daniel Jackson hand over the child. But Teal'c, disguised as a Horus Guard, says that Heru'ur will take the child and shoots her with a zat-gun. Amaunet later feeds this misinformation to Apophis.

1999
Following the fall of Apophis, Amaunet declares allegiance to Heru'ur, and, a year after her son's birth, leads a Horus Guard squad to Abydos to find him. The effort succeeds and Amaunet takes many Abydonians back to their base as slaves. Stargate Command military personnel lead a rescue effort but not in time to stop Amaunet from sending her son away with one of her handmaidens to a sanctuary on Kheb, where she hoped the System Lords wouldn't find him. As Amaunet's forces were decimated, Dr. Daniel Jackson confronted her in her tent, and desperately tried to reach Sha're. Amaunet attacks Daniel with her Kara kesh, but before she can kill him, Teal'c arrives and shoots Sha're. Sha're manages to send Daniel a message through the Kara kesh about the Harcesis child and his location. Amaunet, the symbiote, dies first, allowing Sha're to regain dominance in the last moments of her life, which she uses to tell Daniel she loved him. Sha're is buried on Abydos.

Apocrypha
Sha're/Amaunet plays an indirect role in the novel Stargate SG-1: The Barque of Heaven, where SG-1 is forced to participate in the Trial of Ra, a test carried out by those seeking to serve Ra. Although it is revealed that SG-1 was tricked into going to that planet by a fake Tok'ra agent in contact with Ra's former mate, Mat, Mat reveals that she was informed of SG-1's role in Ra's death by Amaunet. However, the confrontation between her and SG-1 suggests that Sha're was able to deceive Amaunet about various crucial details of Ra's death, as Mat believes that O'Neill was the only person directly involved in Ra's death and that Daniel Jackson was a medical doctor.

Behind the scenes
Her name in the Stargate movie was Sha'uri, until that was retconned by the writers of the Stargate SG-1 series.
