Melee/Legends

Melee was a young girl that lived on the planet of Tatooine near Anakin Skywalker. She sported two buns in her brunette hair.

One of Gardulla the Hutt's slaves, Melee secretly dreamed of journeying across the stars. But, since she would never fulfill her dream, she developed a tough atitude. Melee befriended a bully named Seek. Together they formed a pair of terror, teasing and bullying children.

Gardulla recognized the girl's podracer mechanic talents. She thought of podracers as difficult jigsaw puzzles, which is why she doubted Anakin Skywalker's pod; she didn't recognize his mechanical talents. Actually, that was only part of the reason she doubted him. It was also a cover-up for a deep crush she had on the boy. She left him and Kitster behind to work it, in favor of playing ball with Wald, Seek and Amee. She went to the Boonta Eve Classic with Seek, but snuck away from him to see how Anakin was doing in the race. She was elated when she saw him finish first.

After Gardulla's death, she became the merchant Bryyn Woolery's slave, working on machinery. She also visited Shmi Skywalker from time to time, who taught her to read and write with the help of C-3PO.

Melee was freed and moved to Mos Eisley. She continued working for Woolery for pay, delivering items. During a delivery to Tosche Station, she heard the name Luke Skywalker being mentioned. Thinking he was related to Anakin, she tracked him down to Owen Lars's homestead, but found nothing but a destroyed home and two corpses.
