Legend

this female Aruzan was Abano's daughter. An accomplished dancer, Manaroo was known by many Aruzans for her natural talents. She was recognizable by her fair blue skin and dark blue air. Manaroo was taken off Aruza by the bounty hunter Dengar before Imperial troops could "process" her. After Dengar was accepted as part of the Imperial bounty hunt for Han Solo, Manaroo found work on Cloud City as a dancer. She danced to a band's accompanyment while juggling colored stones. She became lonely, though, and offered to share herself with Dengar via her Attanni. She fled Cloud City with Dengar after the Empire garrisoned it, and travelled to Tatooine. During the trip, she gave Dengar a link to her Attanni, and they shared each other's emotions and thoughts. Before reaching Tatooine, Dengar took her to Aruza to rescue her parents, then went to the desert world. She was captured by a huge, loose-skinned creature at the Mos Eisley cantina and brought to Jabba the Hutt as a dancer. She danced several times, almost all for her life, as Jabba's palace was thrown into chaos. The Alliance rescued Han Solo in a daring plot led by Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, and Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon. Manaroo escaped and searched for Dengar, finding him in the Valley of Wind and rescuing him. As he recovered, Dengar agreed to marry Manaroo. In an effort to pay off their bills, they tried to raid Jabba's sail barge for lost credits, but found Boba Fett instead. They took the nearly-dead Fett back to Dengar's hideout in the desert, along with the female dancer, Neelah. Once there, Dengar insisted that she take the Punishing One and go into hiding. He was worried that their association with Boba Fett would lead to trouble. Manaroo agreed, and remained with the ship near Tatooine for nearly a month while Fett healed and the bounty hunters struggled against Kuat of Kuat and the assembler Balancesheet. It was during this time that Manaroo, realizing that they needed a huge fortune to clear their debts and retire, placed a bet with Drawmas Sma'Da on the fate of Dengar himself. Sma'Da took the bet, having little faith in Dengar's abilities. In the final struggle over the planet Kuat, Manaroo managed to save them all by rescuing the Hound's Tooth before it could disintegrate. She then contacted Sma'Da and recovered her winnings, a sum more than sufficient to pay off their debts. After Dengar finally agreed to retire, Boba Fett agreed to be the best man at their wedding.
