Nashira

Nashira was a female Human Fallanassi in the Rise of the Empire era. Sometime after the formation of the Galactic Empire, Nashira resided on Carratos. There a fellow Fallanassi, Talsava, enlisted her aid to teach her daughter Akanah in the practice of the White Current. Soon after Akanah was formally inducted into the Fallanassi circle, Nashira left the planet, leaving the completion of Akanah's training to her mother. Her fate after that remained unknown.

Years later, prior to the Black Fleet Crisis in 16 ABY, Akanah used Nashira's name to trick Jedi Master Luke Skywalker to help her. Akanah, who was tracking her people from whom she had been separated, told Luke that his mother, "Nashira", had been a Fallanassi. Eager to learn more from the mother he had never known, Luke accompanied Akanah on her search. The story later proved fake, but at the time Luke didn't know the true identity of his mother, Padmé Amidala.
