Numa/Legends

"Nerra,Nerra!"

- Numa saying goodbye to Waxer and Boil

Numa was a young, orphaned Twi'lek girl in the city of Nabat on Ryloth. She met the clones Waxer and Boil, and helped General Obi-Wan Kenobi free the rest of her people, before she was reunited with her uncle Nilim Bril. She also owned a tooka doll.

Biography
Numa was an orphaned Twi'lek on Ryloth. Numa's parents presumably died when the Separatists invaded Ryloth and enslaved its inhabitants. The Republic soon mounted a bold offensive to invade and liberate the planet.



While scouting ahead, clone troopers Waxer and Boil of Ghost Company met Numa in an alley. Initially thinking them to be droids, Numa was rather fearful of them, even going so far as to bite Boil's finger. However, after the two took off their helmets, she relaxed, even calling the two "Nerra!", and she accepted a ration bar. Boil was initially against helping her, but Waxer, who had developed a little compassion for her, worried about her well-being. Numa led the clones to her home, which was now damaged and almost empty. After Waxer gave her her Tooka doll, she began to cry, and the two clones comforted her. However, after Waxer and Boil received a transmission from Commander Cody, they realized that they were late and had disobeyed orders.



As the two clones began to leave, gutkurrs appeared, and they were forced back into the house. Numa showed the two clones an underground passage, and they entered it, re-emerging near Obi-Wan, Cody and Ghost Company, who had just encountered the gutkurrs themselves. Cody was initially displeased with the clones, but once Obi-Wan saw Numa, he understood what had "sidetracked" the two. Obi-Wan conversed to Numa in Twi'leki, and learned that she could take them to the prisoners via the tunnels. Cody created a diversion, and Obi-Wan was able to free the Twi'lek prisoners, and Numa was reunited with her uncle, Nilim Bril. After Obi-Wan, Waxer and Boil destroyed the proton cannons, Tactical droid commander TX-20 appeared in his tank and blasted the three aside. Numa, fearing for her friends, ran over to Waxer and Boil. Once they had recovered, she ran over to Obi-Wan. TX-20 targeted the two, but before he could destroy them, the Twi'leks, inspired by her courage, attacked the tactical droid and destroyed him, while Obi-Wan attempted to shield her eyes from the violence.

As the Republic forces prepared to march to the capital city of Lessu and retake it to free the planet, Waxer and Boil said goodbye to her, promising that they would be back. Numa called out "Nerra!" one last time, and Obi-Wan translated: Numa had been calling the two clones brothers all along, for "Nerra" meant "brother".

Personality and traits
Numa was rather innocent. She was wary and somewhat scared of droids and other threats, but she was also very brave and cared for her friends. Numa helped to nurture compassion in both Waxer and Boil, and the two clones cared for her very much.

Behind the scenes
Numa is voiced by actress Catherine Taber in The Clone Wars TV series.
