Summary The Vulcan Maj'el from Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 is confirmed as T'Pau's descendant by executive producers Kevin and Dan Hageman and Aaron J. Waltke.

Maj'el joins the USS Protostar's crew because her destiny is linked to theirs.

Maj'el's family connection to T'Pau is hinted through Maj'el's hair design but wasn't stated in the show.

Star Trek: Prodigy season 2's new Vulcan hero, Maj'el (Michaela Dietz), is confirmed to be a descendant of an iconic Vulcan from Star Trek: The Original Series. Originally a member of Starfleet Academy's elite Nova Squadron, Maj'el logically heeds the words of Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton) that her destiny is tied to the young Starfleet hopefuls of the USS Protostar. Joining up with Dal R'El (Brett Gray), Gwyndala (Ella Purnell), and their friends, Maj'el becomes a steadfast member of the USS Prodigy's crew in Star Trek: Prodigy season 2.

Star Trek: Prodigy's executive producers Kevin and Dan Hageman confirmed to Syfy Sistas that Maj'el is a descendant of T'Pau (Celia Lovsky) from the Star Trek: The Original Series season 2 episode, "Amok Time", which was further verified by co-executive producer Aaron J. Waltke. Check out Syfy Sistas' and Waltke's X posts below:

Maj'el's family history with T'Pau was not stated on-screen in Star Trek: Prodigy season 2, but was hinted at by Maj'el's hair, which is a visual nod to the white trim of T'Pau's hair in Star Trek: The Original Series.
