Muura

"If my lady wishes to appear beautiful, then she must be patient."

- Muura, chiding Vestara Khai for her restlessness

Muura was a Keshiri female who was skilled in the many arts, ways, and emotions of her people. She was also attendant to the Sith Tyro Vestara Khai, who Muura often praised for her beauty, in 41 ABY. She was talented in the making of vor'shandi markings and eloquently braiding hair. She used these talents to lavishly decorate Vestara the day she would move to the Sith Temple as an apprentice under Lady Rhea.

Biography
"There, you look lovely, mistress!"

- Muura happily praising Sith Tyro Vestara Khai

Muura, a Keshiri maidservant in 41 ABY, was seen as part of the Khai family and an equal, but was a servant nonetheless. She was the attendant to Vestara Khai, the only daughter of Sith Saber Gavar and Lahka Khai. Muura would fawn over Vestara, praising her beauty even as Vestara thought Muura's normality and plainness outshone her own attractiveness.

Personality and traits
Standing about six inches shorter than a regular human teenage girl, Muura, like many of her race, had soft purple skin and a lilting accent that had stayed with many of the Keshiri even after thousands of years spent with humans. Muura happily put up with her mistress' unhappiness at the marring scar on her face, unendingly praising Vestara's beauty. The Keshiri girl, like many of her people, was plainly dressed and was pristine&mdash;even beautiful by human standards. She was also skilled in the artistry of vor'shandi markings, beautiful designs that were passed down by masters and taught to apprentices. Muura adorned Vestara's skin with these ancient markings, particularly a delicate dalsa flower, on the morning that Khai would become a Sith apprentice under Lady Rhea. She was also highly dexterous as she was able to weave her mistress' long brown hair into intricate braids. Muura was confused by the sadness in the house as Vestara left for the Temple. Vestara's father approached Muura to tell her she would not be needed as Vestara's attendant anymore, as Vestara would be living in the Sith Temple.

Behind the scenes
Muura was created by author Christie Golden for her first Star Wars novel, and the second novel in the nine-part Fate of the Jedi series, Omen.
