Cami is a young passenger, around maybe 4 to 6, onboard the sublight civilian spacecraft called the Botanical Cruiser. Cami is travelling with her grandparents, but her grandmother suffers health problems at the time of the Cylon Attack. The captain of the Botanical Cruiser and his staff look after the child in her grandmother's stead.
Cami talks to new President Laura Roslin about reuniting with her parents on Caprica, having chicken pot pie, and other things she looked forward to on her return home, innocently oblivious to the Cylon hostilities and the danger she was now in.
The young girl is subsequently killed when a Cylon task force destroys her ship, while the FTL-capable ships jumped to Ragnar Anchorage (Miniseries).
Cami is portrayed by actress Haili Page.
Notes
- Many observers feel that Cami was a contrived plot device to illustrate the lengths to which the Cylons would go to eliminate any survivors.
- The scene in which Cami awaits her death on the Botanical Cruiser visually echoes the infamous "Daisy" television advertisement from Lyndon B. Johnson's 1964 campaign against Barry Goldwater.
- Coincidentally the word "cham-mi"and its variants mean "to die" or "death" in Mayan. See:
