Biography

A Chandi wedding

Jodi was an alien who was invited to the three-day wedding of the Chandrilans Leida Mothma and Stekan Sculdun at the Mothma Estate on^[1] the planet^[3] Chandrila in 4 BBY. On the first day, Jodi stood conversing with another alien guest atop the steps down to one of the estate's landing pads as the bride's parents, Senator Mon Mothma and Perrin Fertha, greeted Fertha's aunt Squidna and uncle Sordo as they arrived by airspeeder.^[1]

At a party inside one of the estate's small courtyards^[4] later that night, Jodi spoke with two humans^[1] as other guests mingled over cocktails. While making the rounds,^[4] Davo Sculdun, the father of the groom, approached Jodi and grasped the alien's hand, getting their attention to tell them that something was done. Jodi acknowledged this before turning back to the two humans.^[1]

First dance, all dance

On the third day of the wedding, after the ceremony, Jodi was part of a crowd that gathered in the estate ballroom to watch Davo unveil his gift to the newlyweds. The alien stood directly behind the antiques dealer Luthen Rael as Davo pulled away a cloth to reveal a Chandi Merle, explaining the temple figure's provenance and introducing Rael to the crowd as the man who helped him acquire the gift.^[2]

The guests then mingled around the statue, with Jodi talking to two humans near a window until an announcer asked the guests to clear the ballroom's dance floor as the Chandi Merle was wheeled away. Jodi formed a circle round the dance floor with the other guests to watch Stekan and Leida in their first dance. After more mingling, a speaker droid entered the room and began playing music for the guests to all dance to. During the song "Niamos!," Jodi raised their hands and cried out the name of the song at its climax along with the other guests.^[2]
