Ubbla Mollbro

"Well, I can only confirm this in the case of the successful opera singer Ubbla Mollbro, who is currently looking for a potential partner in the casino city of Canto Bight…"

―"Species From A to Z"^[3]

Ubbla Mollbro was a boisterous female Xi'Dec opera singer spent time in the city Canto Bight on the planet Cantonica. Her presence was due to her search for a hatching partner. In the year 34 ABY, while mingling with Canto Bight's elite at the Canto Casino, her activities were interrupted by a stampede of fathiers; the creatures were released by a pair of Resistance members during their attempt to escape from the city police. Confronted by the sight of the Resistance members riding a fathier directly towards her, Mollbro simple raised her arms high and screamed with a harmonic note.

Biography[]

Ubbla Mollbro was a female Xi'Dec opera singer who managed to accumulate a sizable amount of riches for herself^[1] by the year 34 ABY.^[4] Her wealth was not without punishment, however; the ultra rich disdainfully labeled the opera singer as "new money,"^[1] in contrast to their long held riches.^[5] However, this did little to dampen Mollbro's spirits.^[1]

At some point, egg sacs covering her body grew to an engorged size,^[1] and in the New Republic Era^[3] she made her way to the Canto Bight casino on the planet Cantonica in search of a hatching partner.^[1] During her time on Cantonica, Mollbro was mentioned as a notable Xi'Dec in "Species From A to Z," a survival compendium sent out by Carson Teva.^[3]

In 34 ABY,^[4] while brushing up against the casino's^[6] unapproving^[5] elite, Mollbro's activities came to a halt when the casino floor was flooded with casino's contingent of race fathiers. The horse-like creatures had been ushered into a stampede by two members of the Resistance, Finn and Rose Tico, who were escaping from police custody. As Finn and Tico's fathier sped in her direction, Mollbro raised her four arms and screamed out in a smooth, harmonic note. The sight managed to distract Finn's attention away from the chaos he had brewed in the casino. Ultimately, Mollbro avoided being crushed by the fathier.^[6]

Personality and traits[]

A pale, off-white skinned member of the Xi'Dec species, Ubbla Mollbro was a boisterous opera singer^[5] whose aptitude for making grand entrances^[1] muted the scornful eyes of the "old-money" that contemptuously stared her down.^[5] Covered in engorged, yet well-maintained egg sacs, Mollbro was eager to find a hatching partner among Canto Bight's elite.^[1]

The mint-eyed singer's inimitable style sense^[5] led to her casino attire comprising of a self-spun web-chiffon drape and her gray-colored hair to be formed into a layered pyramid atop her head.^[1]
