Zhora was a character from the movie Blade Runner. She was a replicant and had superhuman endurance. She worked as a dancer in Taffy's Bar, and had a thing for snakes. She was used in murder squads and Deckard tracked her down, finding her at Taffy's bar. Zhora attacked him, but Deckard got away. She tried to escape, but Deckard shot her, 'retiring' her.
Some baby name sites list Zhora as a male Russian variant of George, but the only notable people I can find that bear the name are Armenian. It could also be a variant of the girl's name Zora. Zhora does not appear in the Social Security Administration's Name Database.
