Roona attended At Attin Middle School Gamma.

Roona was a Vazooan female^[1] student of At Attin Middle School Gamma on^[2] her homeworld, At Attin,^[1] a planet separated from the rest of the galaxy by the Barrier.^[2] Around 9 ABY,^[3] the day before she and her classmates were due to take the Career Assessment Test—which would decide their roles within At Attin's Great Work—Roona arrived at school alongside the other students and on her way into the building passed the students Fern and KB being lectured by^[2] a safety droid^[4] for flying a hoverbike into school.^[2]

Roona then attended a lesson led by a droid teacher who, part-way through the lesson, introduced the class to Undersecretary Fara, a special visitor from the Office of the Supervisor. Roona and the other students greeted Fara, who then spoke to them about the importance of the Career Assessment Test. When the teacher asked the students to state how they would like to contribute to the Great Work, Roona keenly raised her hand and was selected to answer first, stating that she wished to become a senior statistical accountant. After Roona answered, her classmate Neel^[2] gazed at her longingly^[4] from the row behind. He had a crush on her, but had never spoken to her before and was working up to saying something.^[2]

Undersecretary Fara visited Roona's class.

Neel confided in his friend Wim about his crush when the pair later discussed the upcoming assessment, fearing that if he was held back then he would no longer be in Roona's class. When Fern and KB later tricked Neel and Wim into thinking they were being questioned by a safety droid, KB ordered the pair to reveal who they had a crush on at school and Neel cried out Roona's name.^[2]
