Legend

this female Rodian served as one of dancers for the Max Rebo Twelve, shortly before Jabba the Hutt's death on Tatooine. Several years before the Clone Wars, she was ostracized as a child because she loved music and dancing more than hunting and killing. Her parents tried their best to change her into a "normal" Rodian child, but she resisted. Instead, she studied the music of various cultures and learned how to dance. After completing her schooling on Rodia, she managed to sneak aboard the Kuari Princess and caught the attention of Sy Snootles. Sy asked her to play kloo horn in a concert, and Greeata happily agreed, often working a second gig at the Green Planet nightclub on Tothis. After a rowdy Rodian suggested that Greeata return to Rodia and marry him, Greeata and Sy left the Kuari Princess and eventually caught up with Evar Orbus and the Max Rebo Band. The band took in Sy, since they needed a singer, but would only take Greeata if she could dance, and only then on a per diem basis. Along with Lyn Me and Rhystaal, Greeata often performed to the music of the Max Rebo Twelve at Jabba's palace, shortly before the crimelord's death. It was at this time, some fifteen years after originally being hired by Evar Orbus, that Greeata was made a full member of the band. However, following Jabba's death at the Pit of Carkoon, Greeata and Lyn Me used their survival skills - proving that Greeata had learned something in school on Rodia - to help the band survive the desert and the tumult which followed. Greeata and Rystall later joined the Palpatones, where they were reunited with Joh Yowza. Greeata became their lead singer, and her voice captivated a huge audience, giving her a new-found popularity that outshined anything she had experienced before.
