- "It reeks of Jedi!"
- ―Aktropaw referring to Sabine Wren
Aktropaw was a Dathomirian female Nightsister witch, and one of the Great Mothers who allied with Mitth'raw'nuruodo.[2] In 9 ABY,[5] she and the other Great Mothers, Klothow and Lakesis, welcomed Nightsister Morgan Elsbeth and her forces to the planet Peridea after calling Elsbeth there via her dreams.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
Aktropaw first appeared in "Part Six: Far, Far Away," the sixth episode of the Ahsoka television series, portrayed by Jeryl Prescott Gallien. While not identified in the episode, the character's name was given in its credits.[2] In Greek Mythology, the similarly named Atropos was one of three goddesses known as the Fates, the others' names being Clotho and Lachesis, who determined destiny itself. Atropos specifically was the one of the three who cut the threads of destiny and thus determined when an individual died.[6] This is similar to how Aktropaw and the other Great Mothers claimed to be able to read and know the threads of fate and destiny.[2]

- ↑ "A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 dates the events of "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to 9 ASW4. As SW4 occurs in 0 BBY according to Star Wars: Timelines, 9 ASW4 correlates to 9 ABY. Preceding episodes take place after The Book of Boba Fett, which is also dated to 9 ABY according to Timelines. As "Part Eight: The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord" takes place shortly after Part Seven, the events of Ahsoka as a whole must all take place the same year.
- ↑ Fate on www.britannica.com: "Fate, […] in Greek and Roman mythology, any of three goddesses who determined human destinies, and in particular the span of a person's life and his allotment of misery and suffering. […] From the time of the poet Hesiod (8th century BC) on, however, the Fates were personified as three very old women who spin the threads of human destiny. Their names were Clotho (Spinner), Lachesis (Allotter), and Atropos (Inflexible). Clotho spun the "thread" of human fate, Lachesis dispensed it, and Atropos cut the thread (thus determining the individual's moment of death)." (archived from the original on June 9, 2023)
