Canon Background

Jolinar was an important and influential member of the Tok'ra resistance movement. She seems to have worked as an undercover agent among the Goa'uld often. Rosha was one of Jolinar's hosts, and she was very beautiful. According to Martouf, her eyes were the color of the waters of Marloon, and her hair the color of the sand of Abydos. For almost a century, Jolinar (and for at least some of that time, Rosha) was the mate of Lantash (and for at least some of that time, Martouf).

History

Rosha and Jolinar were prisoners of Sokar for a significant amount of time. She was badly tortured and imprisoned on Netu, a planet made to resemble Hell. Jolinar seduced Sokar's 'prison guard', Bynarr, and escaped by stealing a key to the transportation rings while he slept.

Jolinar later did something that made the System Lord Cronos send an ashrak (a Goa'uld assassin) after her. While fleeing from the ashrak, Rosha was killed and Jolinar took another host, a man. This was the first time she had ever had a male host. She stayed in this host for several months, laying low, before the planet was attacked and the host killed.

Jolinar escaped to a new host, Samantha Carter. She tried to convince Samantha Carter and the rest of SGC that she was a Tok'ra - a good Goa'uld, but did not manage to do so in time. The ashrak found her and used the hara'kesh (a weapon/torturing device) on her. She died to save Sam's life, but Jolinar has a lasting effect on Sam's canon character development; Sam retains her memories, feelings, and many of her abilities.

Known hosts

  • Rosha
  • A Nasyan man (first male host)
  • Samantha Carter

Fandom

According to fandom, Jolinar may originally have been a Goa'uld, who chose to join the Tok'ra. The reason for this assumption is both the fact that her name contains the 'of Malkshur', and that (according to Teal'c) Jolinar once had an army that was about to defeat a System Lord until Apophis joined the fight.

Despite only having been in one episode, and seen in flashbacks in another (two-parter), Jolinar is a popular character in Tok'ra fandom and relatively much fanfiction has been written about her. Most of these are AUs were Jolinar survives in Samantha Carter, perhaps to leave her later (or die later), though many newer stories have her survive and Sam remain her host. There is also a little fanfic exploring the earlier part of Jolinar's life - both with Rosha as host and before, though neither is anywhere near as common.

Fanfiction

Since Jolinar dies saving Samantha Carter, any fanfic about her is necessarily either AU or takes place before she dies (either during the brief time Sam is her host or much earlier).

Despite the fact that symbiotes does not have a gender (except queens), as stated by Martouf, Jolinar is always considered female.

There is relatively much Jolinar gen fic written, as well as mostly gen. There is often mention of her canon marriage to Martouf/Lantash, and there is little or no other het pairings written for her. Mostly het fics will be Sam/Jolinar/Martouf/Lantash, but there is a (very) few Rosha/Jolinar/Martouf/Lantash fics written.
