Background information
Doran was played by Lynnda Ferguson.

The script for "Emissary" simply describes her as, "a wounded woman struggling to get down the hallway..." Of the moment Sisko speaks to her, it says, "She looks at Sisko with mournful eyes... and his heart jumps into his throat..."  

Also according to the script, Doran was also to have appeared as a Prophet during their interactions with Sisko, however, her line was instead spoken by the Tactical Officer Alien instead. Furthermore, StarTrek.com incorrectly states that Doran was the Conn Officer Alien whom the Prophets impersonate when speaking to Sisko.
