Cindel Towani

Cindel Towani was a female Human. She was the daughter of Jeremitt and Catarine Towani, and the sister of Mace Towani.

Biography
In approximately 3 ABY, while traveling through the Moddell Sector, Cindel's family starcruiser crash landed on the forest moon of Endor, when she was four standard years of age. Her parents, Jeremitt and Catarine, were captured by the native Gorax. Cindel, along with her teenaged brother Mace, and the Ewok tribe that included Wicket W. Warrick, managed to rescue the Towani parents.

It was in vain, however, as both of Cindel's parents and Mace were later killed by a group of Sanyassan Marauders. She and Wicket were eventually taken in by another stranded human, an old man named Noa Briqualon. Together, they managed to defeat the Sanyassans, and the two humans managed to leave the Endor moon.

Years later, after Noa had settled somewhere in the Mid Rim and retired, Cindel decided to join the New Republic after the Battle of Endor, eventually going into journalism. During the Black Fleet Crisis, she received tapes from Admiral Hiram Drayson which she used to leak the story of the sole survivor of the Yevethan attack on Polneye.

Behind the scenes

 * Cindel Towani was portrayed by Aubree Miller in the made-for-TV films Caravan of Courage and The Battle for Endor.
 * Since the events of the two Ewok films take place prior to the Battle of Endor, much fan debate has arisen over what language Cindel speaks. While in the films it appears as though she is speaking Basic, this cannot be the case; Wicket W. Warrick becomes fluent in Cindel's language as per The Battle for Endor, yet doesn't understand Leia Organa in Return of the Jedi. The current retcon is that Cindel is not speaking Basic, but some other language "dubbed" for the benefit of the audience.
