Denya

Denya was a young woman living in the village of Ver Isca, who was considered the "village harlot".

After Vala Mal Doran was transported to the Ori home galaxy during her successfull attempt to destroy the first Supergate at Kallana, she came in contact with Denya. After the two got to know each other and became friends, Vala became convinced that Denya was a member of the anti-Ori underground. However, unwilling to risk her life by simply trusting her, Denya had Administrator Seevis place her on the village altar to test her allegiance.

For three days Vala remained tied to the sacrificial stone, until her husband, Tomin, resqued her. Seevis allowed him to come to her aid, and finally became conviced that Vala was trustworthy. Both Denya and Seevis subsequently admitted they were members of the anti-Ori underground.

Following a failed attempt to sabotage several Ori battlecruisers, which would have killed tens of thousands present at the activation ceremony, Denya and Seevis brought Vala to an Ancient long-range communication device, allowing her to contact the SGC in the Milky Way. However, a Prior had told Tomin of Denya and Seevis' treachery, who eventually killed them both. ("Crusade")
