Gana Lavin

"Where did you get those clothes&mdash;a trash compactor in the Lower City? And where are those drinks we ordered?"

- Gana Lavin to Revan

Gana Lavin was a female Human of noble upbringing. In 3,956 BBY, she was at the Upper City Cantina on Taris with a friend. When her order was delayed, she mistook Revan, a Galactic Republic ensign, for a waiter. This sparked a short argument which ended when her drinks finally arrived.

Biography
Gana Lavin was a young female Human noble from Taris.

In 3,956 BBY, Lavin was in the Upper City Cantina buying drinks for herself and a fellow noble when Revan and Carth Onasi, both Galactic Republic soldiers, approached her. Lavin mistakenly believed them to be waiters, insulting their choice of clothing and demanding to know why her order had not yet arrived. Revan apologized and attempted to explain that he wasn't an employee of the cantina, but Lavin refused to listen and threatened to use her father's influence to have Revan sacked. Revan persuaded her not to become upset and agreed to bring Lavin her order. At that point, a waiter arrived bearing Lavin's and her friend's drinks, defusing the situation and allowing Revan and Onasi to leave.

Personality and traits
"Why is the help here so incompetent? One word from Daddy and I could get you fired!"

- Lavin threatens Revan

Lavin used her status as a noble as well as her father's influence to threaten others and get her way. When her order was late she grew impatient and angrily commented on the incompetence of the cantina staff. Lavin bluntly expressed her dislike of Revan's clothing, and her rudeness led Onasi to call her a "spoiled brat".

Behind the scenes
Lavin's first canon appearance was as a non-player character in the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic video game, in which the player, Revan, can interact with her. Throughout the conversation, the player has several dialogue options to choose from. However, the nature of the conversation is such that it does not progress any plot, nor does it change the player's alignment. Therefore, it is undetermined whether Revan ever interacted with Lavin and, if so, what form the conversation took.

If the player doesn't have their Persuade skill high enough, insults her, or simply tells her that he's not her waiter, she takes offense, and complains to her "daddy". She later has two of her father's Rodian thugs attack Revan. After they are killed she runs away again screaming for her daddy.

It should be noted that Lavin has two different appearances. In the Upper City Cantina, she is portrayed with brown hair, but when she attacks Revan with her thugs, her hair is black.
