Varish, referred to by her students as Ms. Varish, was a female[2] Malangsha[1] who worked as a gardening instructor to Jedi Initiates on the planet of Langsha-Raang during the High Republic Era. She instructed Jedi Initiates Kai Brightstar, Lys Solay, and Nubs during a lesson on the garden planet. Varish was impressed by Nubs' care with a Vreenak Bloom, and invited him to the front of the class for a demonstration on the importance of observing plants to discover their needs. To thank him for his participation, she presented Nubs with a small bag of seeds which would grow well on the planet Tenoo, where the Jedi Initiates were based. However, during the demonstration, a seed from a grumble vine was accidentally added to the bag and brought back to Tenoo. After dangerous uncontrolled growth, Nubs used the lesson taught by Ms. Varish to provide the grumble vine adequate shade. The plant was then sent back to Varnish's garden where it belonged. Although she felt terrible about the grumble vine seed contamination, Varish was proud of Nubs for stopping the grumble vine's destructive growth, and the youngling eagerly showed his teacher the successful growths of the plants she provided.[2]
Behind the scenes
Varish first appeared in "The Growing Green Danger," the second part of the tenth episode of Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures' first season.[2] The character was designed by Betsy Bauer.[3][4]

And we likely won't be able to share concept art, but that's the designer" (backup link) (screenshot) (In response to: Incredibly helpful, thanks again! I really want to get my hands on the concept art! Also, while I have your ear, do you possibly know who designed Varish? This is the other unidentified one whose creator I can’t seem to pinpoint? 😅)
