Charal

Charal was a Nightsister who turned her back on the order and left Dathomir. The Nightsisters pursued her, and to avoid them, she joined a band of Sanyassan Marauder pirates. Their vessel crashed on the uncharted forest moon of Endor, and the Sanyassan leader set himself up as king. Roughly a century after their arrival, the Marauders were alive due to the species' longevity and Charal due to the powers granted to her by the Force-sensitive crystal on the ring she always wore. It is possible the ring was one of the powerful Force-imbued artifacts the Nightsisters used, or possibly a Sith artifact.

When the Imperial scouting party that discovered Endor was captured and imprisoned by the Marauders, Charal tried to arrange her own escape. King Terak learned of this, and imprisoned the Dathomiri witch. When the Towani family starship crashed on Endor, the Marauders stole the ship's crystal oscillator and killed its owners. Since Charal was unable to do anything with it, Terak sent her to hunt down the last member of the Towani family, Cindel, the newly-orphaned youngest child. Charal used her shapeshifting abilities to turn into a raven and hunted Cindel down, but when she failed, Terak seized her ring. Eventually, the ring was destroyed while Terak was wearing it around his neck, unleashing its powers on the Marauder leader and burning him to crisp. Because of this, Charal was locked in her animal form.
