Legend

Cindel was the younger of the two Towani children, and the four-year-old daughter of Catarine and Jeremitt. When their shuttle crashed on Endor, Cindel and her brother, Mace, were separated from their parents. They were taken in by Wicket and his Ewok family, who helped them rescue Cindel's parents from the Gorax. Following the death of her other family members at the hands of the Marauders, Cindel and Wicket were taken in by Noa Briqualon, who helped her defeat the Marauders. She lived with Noa for several years, until the Battle of Endor occured. By this time, Cindel had grown into a young woman, and was eager to make her own way in the galaxy. She decide to join the efforts of the fledgling New Republic, after witnessing first-hand the construction and destruction of the second Death Star. She went into journalism after graduating from college, and became one of the primary founders and contributors to The Life Monitor news service. In this role, Cindel was given access to the recorded testimony of Plat Mallar by Hiram Drayson, which allowed her to leak the story of the Yevethan attack on Polneye. The story's publication swayed the government to adopt a more sympathetic stance to the refugees of the Black Fleet Crisis.
