Biography
Meeting the Mando
- "Let's look at your ship. Oof! Look at that. Ugh, you got a lot of carbon scorin' building up on top. Yeah. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were in a shootout."
- ―Peli Motto looks over the Razor Crest
Peli Motto assessed the damage to the Razor Crest.
Peli Motto was a human female who ran Bay three-five in Mos Eisley spaceport on the planet Tatooine during the reign of the New Republic. In 9 ABY, the gunship known as the Razor Crest was directed to land in Docking Bay 35 and upon the vessel landing, Motto's three DUM-series pit droids gathered their tools and approached the ship to see what repair work was needed. The ship's owner, the bounty hunter known as the Mandalorian, emerged and scared off the droids by firing a blaster bolt at them. Annoyed at the treatment of her droids, Motto yelled at the bounty hunter from her office and emerged to inspect the ship herself.[1]
While examining the ship, Motto found a fuel leak and various other repairs that were needed, as well as signs of a recent battle. The Mandalorian made clear that he did not want the droids working on his ship, and offered five hundred Imperial credits for the work to be done. After consulting her droid, Motto explained that the credits would only be enough to cover using the hangar, so the bounty hunter promised to return with more and left to find work.[1]
A profitable baby
- "You woke it up! Do you have any idea how long it took me to get it to sleep?"
"Give him to me."
"Not so fast! You can't just leave a child all alone like that. You know, you have an awful lot to learn about raisin' a young one." - ―Motto scolds the Mandalorian
Motto and her droids discovered the Child on the Razor Crest.
While waiting for the Mandalorian to return, Motto played sabacc with her droids, betting three bolts and a motivator on her hand. Before they could continue the round however, strange noises began emerging from within the Razor Crest. Ordering one of her droids to fetch her blaster rifle, Motto began cautiously approaching the ship and yelled a warning to whoever was inside, but lower the weapon when the infant known as the Child emerged alone. Picking up the child, she began talking soothingly too it and ordered a pit droid to fetch the child some food.[1]
Motto worked on the Mandalorian's ship, slowed by the fact that her droids were forbade to help her, and started repairing the fuel leak before encountering several issues she needed to discuss with the hunter. She then eventually managed to get the Child to fall asleep and also dozed off herself within the hangar. When the Mandalorian returned, having found work with a rookie bounty hunter named Toro Calican, he discovered the missing baby and angrily woke Motto. The hangar owner scolded him for leaving the child alone and updated him on her repairs before following him outside, where Calican was waiting.[1]
Captured by Calican
- "All right, Pit Droids! Let's drag this outta here! I don't know, drag it to Beggars Canyon."
- ―Motto orders her droids to dispose of Calican's corpse
Toro Calican took Peli Motto and the Child hostage.
Motto looked after the Child while the two bounty hunters left to track their target, but Calican returned before the Mandalorian, having learned that there was a bounty on the other hunter and the Child. The rookie captured Motto and the Child and waited with them inside the Razor Crest for the Mandalorian's return, emerging with Motto at blaster point and the infant in his arms once the Mandalorian entered the hangar. The Mandalorian dropped his blaster and surrendered as Calican threatened Motto, after which the rookie hunter ordered her to place the Mandalorian in binders.[1]
As she followed his orders, the Mandalorian revealed that he was still holding a flash charge to her which he then fired off, blinding Calican. Motto used the opportunity to hide behind some crates, while the Mandalorian avoided Calican's blaster fire and shot him dead, causing him to tumble off the Razor Crest's ramp while still holding the Child. Motto and the Mandalorian rushed to check if the Child was alright, but discovered it had crawled away to safety behind some crates. After she cradled the infant and soothed it after all the excitement, the Mandalorian paid her with what credits Calican had been carrying. As the bounty hunter boarded his ship and left Tatooine, Motto ordered her droids to remove Calican's body from the hangar and dump it in Beggar's Canyon.[1]
Personality and traits
- "There you are. Are you hiding from us? Huh? Look at you. That's alright. I know. That was really loud for your big old ears, wasn't it?"

Peli Motto cared for the safety of the Child.
Peli Motto was protective of her droids due to what it would cost to repair them, and consulted them about repair work that needed to be done.

Upon encountering the baby she cooed over it and cradle it in her arms, making sure it was cared for and fed, but also pleased that she could charge the Mandalorian extra for watching over it.[1]
Motto scolded him for leaving it alone and warned that he needed to improve his parenting skills. She initially thought of the Mandalorian as a "womp rat", but complimented his strategy during the fight with Calican. After the fight she feared for the Child's safety, and was relieved to see it unharmed. Motto had brown hair, fair skin and brown eyes.[1]
