From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

Marta "Marty" Batanides

Marta "Marty" Batanides was a 24th century Starfleet officer. In 2327 she graduated from Starfleet Academy with the rank of ensign. She was a classmate of Jean-Luc Picard and Cortin Zweller. With these two she visited Starbase Earhart shortly after graduation, where she and the others got into a bar fight with some Nausicaans, in which Batanides was knocked out.

Picard and Batanides both had a crush for each other and Picard later regretted that he had never pursued his interest in her. However, in an alternate past created by Q, they did start a relationship, but it only destroyed their friendship. (TNG: "Tapestry")

Batanides was played by actress J.C. Brandy.
