      Given that Seven was originally human and severed her connection to the Borg decades ago (both in-universe time and real world's), I'm not sure if I'd place her in a list for non-human characters.

      It is baffling that the Borg went around the universe assimilating alien civilizations, but almost every Borg is a human white male in their 20s.
