Kasha Tal
Kasha Tal was a female Trill and the first host of the Tal symbiont. (DIS: "Forget Me Not")
Kasha learned how to play the cello, a skill that was passed on to Tal's later hosts Gray and Adira. (DIS: "The Sanctuary")
At some point, Kasha encountered spider lightning and barely survived. (DIS: "All Is Possible")
In 3189, Adira Tal travelled to Trill aboard the USS Discovery because they could not access the memories of their past hosts. During a mental communion in the pools of the Caves of Mak'ala in 3189, Adira saw an image of Kasha Tal among all past hosts of the Tal symbiont. Kasha and the other hosts accepted and welcomed Adira to "the circle." Upon exiting the pools, Adira listed the symbiont's names including Kasha. (DIS: "Forget Me Not")
"Forget Me Not" establishes Kasha as the first host. "The Sanctuary" establishes Kasha was female. Tal had two female hosts. One wore a Starfleet uniform resembling the uniform style and tricom badge of Senna Tal's era. She lived after Captain Tal, who donned the 2390s Starfleet uniform, so she cannot have been the first host. That combination only leaves the remaining Trill woman as Kasha.
Kasha Tal was played by an unknown performer.
