- "But we cannot survive on our own. We don't know what the future will bring us."
- ―The alien woman, to Kanan Jarrus
An alien woman was among the natives of Vyndal who welcomed Yeleb in their village after he landed on their homeworld. They had a son who was easily frightened. One day, they and their offspring encountered Kanan Jarrus, a male human who had been forced to land in the forests of Vyndal to repair his starship. Upon seeing that the stranger was injured and was falling unconscious, they brought him to their village, where they tended to his wound.[1]
After that, the alien woman led Jarrus to Yeleb, who acted as the village's protector and portrayed himself as a Jedi. Unknown to the woman and the other natives, Yeleb was an impostor. However, the stranger Kanan Jarrus was a genuine Jedi in hiding, and was given chase by the Grand Inquisitor, a brutal enforcer of the Galactic Empire. Despite his lack of actual powers, Yeleb confronted the Inquisitor, while the alien woman, their people and Kanan Jarrus stood up to the Imperial stormtroopers. Eventually, Jarrus tricked the Imperials into leaving the planet by making them chase an empty starship.[1]
When the alien woman realized that Yeleb had been mortally wounded in his battle against the Inquisitor, they took him into their arms, where he breathed his last. Deprived of the man who had been their beloved protector, the alien woman felt a great discouragement, thinking that their village had no future without Yeleb. However, they and their people listened to the words of Kanan Jarrus, who encouraged them to keep standing up for themselves and honor their former protector's courage.[1]
