Biography
- "Then how do you know if he likes you?"
"Heh. It's not like that for Jedi." - ―The human child and Yarzion Vell
The human children was among a group that spoke with Yarzion Vell.
A human child lived on the the astronomical object Vianax during the High Republic Era.[1] In 229 BBY,[2] when Vianax was in the Nihil pirates' Occlusion Zone[1] region of space,[3] the human was one of three children who watched the Wookiee Jedi Master Kelnacca use the Force to help with repairs after a skirmish with the Nihil there. The human pointed out Kelnacca to an Elomin child, who commented on Kelnacca's size and strength. The children then approached Kelnacca's Padawan, Yarzion Vell, and the Elomin asked him if Kelnacca was his teacher, which Vell confirmed. One of the children then exclaimed that they had never seen a Wookiee before, especially not one who could use the Force.[1]
The human asked Vell if Kelnacca ever said anything, and Vell answered that he did, but only when he needed to. The human followed up their question with another, asking how Vell knew if Kelnacca liked him, to which Vell replied that it was not like that for Jedi. The Elomin then changed the subject, inquiring about Vell's tattoos, and the human asked about their meaning. Although Vell's tattoos were runes spelling the name of his previous Master, Lulad, he lied and said they had no meaning. In order to avoid further questioning, Vell said he had to go back to his repair work.[1] Around 149 BBY,[4] as Vell was dying, he mentioned the human child while telling his own Padawan, Ordea, about his training under Kelnacca.[1]
