Mera
Mera was a Bajoran vedek  that shared good news with Kira Nerys regarding Bajor's entry into the Federation on what was supposed to be the official signing day and entrance of Bajor into the UFP. 

Vedek Mera was going to meet with Kira after the signing ceremony but Bajor withdrew its application after Captain Benjamin Sisko (the Emissary of the Prophets) was warned through a sacred vision, or pagh'tem'far, that Bajor should not join but instead remain alone or face impending destruction.
