* {{Expy}}: In the first couple of episodes, the Mirror DS9 characters show strong resemblances to major characters from ''Series/BlakesSeven'', another DarkerAndEdgier BlackAndGreyMorality space opera about rebels against an evil empire. In particular, Kira is Servalan, Sisko is Blake, "Smiley" is Vila, Garak is Travis, and Julian is Avon.

* CrapsackWorld: The [=DS9=] Mirror episodes strongly imply that the Mirror Universe is perpetually doomed to be crapsack. Mirror-Spock's attempts to reform the Empire after his encounter with the main-universe Enterprise officers in "Mirror, Mirror" led to the collapse of the Empire and its conquest by an equally corrupt and savage Klingon-Cardassian Alliance, with the Bajorans also allied to them. The "good" Mirror characters are all far more deeply flawed and morally-questionable than the main-universe ones.

* HappyEndingOverride: "Mirror, Mirror" implied that Spock was going to reform the Terran Empire. He did...but then the Klingons and Cardassians wiped them out and enslaved what was left.

* HiddenDepths: Though she expresses little of her personality and ambitions on TV, ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline'' went on to depict her as a full-on CardCarryingVillain in the true spirit of the Terran Empire, wherein she would rise to power in a rejuvenated Empire and command her own ''ISS Enterprise'' in many a battle with Prime Universe captains, Creator/Chase Masterson hamming up her performance all the while.

* DepravedBisexual: In her first appearance, Intendant Kira was [[ScrewYourself intrigued]] by her doppelganger Major Kira; [[WordOfSaintPaul according to Nana Visitor]], this was an expression of her narcissism. However, later Mirror Universe episodes depicted her as [[AnythingThatMoves insatiably lusting]] after every attractive man or woman in sight.

This becomes a key plot point when the "real" Benjamin Sisko is abducted to stand in for his mirror counterpart.]] Notably averted for prime-universe's usual ButtMonkey, O'Brien.

* ShadowArchetype: To Garak. He has many of the traits Enabrain Tain and Mila mention Garak displayed pre-exile; pettiness, vindictiveness, and a fondness for torture. The difference is he lacks regular Garak's sophistication, and subtlety (and going by his actions, any of Garak's intelligence).
* SmugSnake: He's more or less a CardCarryingVillain who is too obsessed with taking Kira's job to be competent. Quark and Rom mock him for being nowhere ''near'' as good as the Garak they know.

Sexy Walk was renamed/retooled into Supermodel Strut by TRS.


* SexyWalk: Particularly noticeable in "Resurrection" where the Intendant dresses up like Major Kira to pull a heist, and the only means of telling them apart is Mirror Kira's vampish walk.

%%* HomoeroticSubtext

to:

%%* HomoeroticSubtext* HomoeroticSubtext: Or text. The Mirror versions of Kira, Ezri and Leeta are explicitly lesbian (Ezri and Leeta) or bisexual (Kira), while there is also subtext about the Mirror version of Garak (mind you, there was lots of subtext about him in the main universe). This led to considerable criticism given that the executives in charge of the franchise at the time notoriously banned any out LGBT characters in the main universe.
