Well, there is that.

The prompt for the question came from something Denise Crosby said (can't cite
it, unfortunately), where she related how the writers wanted a Romulan female
who had something of a love/hate relationship with humanity (and Picard in
particular).  They invented Donatra, but it seemed they had the perfect
pre-made character in Sela.

Of course, Denise Crosby wouldn't necessarily have added anything, so maybe
I'll just shut up...
