Leeni was a female wokling who lived around the time of the Battle of Endor. She was named for a spirit in Ewok mythology. She was among a group of young Ewoks that Wicket and Kneesaa took swimming as the elder Ewoks hid sunberry trees from the Mantigrue, and later was one of the woklings to whom Chief Chirpa told the story of Logray, Morag and the Sunstar.

Behind the scenes

The Leeni plush toy

Leeni first appeared as one of six 8-inch plush woklings made by Kenner as part of their Return of the Jedi toy line. Her first appearance in fiction was as a background character with no spoken lines in the Ewoks television series.

Her name appears only on a Nelvana animation model sheet, which matches a character in the group of young Ewoks in the episode "The Haunted Village" and again in "Sunstar vs. Shadowstone." The Star Wars Encyclopedia also refers to her as a character from the cartoon series.
