Legend

Leia Organa-Solo's childhood friend, Winter was raised in the household of Bail Organa. A year and a few months older than Leia, she is a strikingly beautiful Alderaanian woman with snow-white hair. She bears a striking resemblance to Leia, and often sat in for Leia in public appearances. Their friendship grew quickly, and their rapport kept them together on many diplomatic missions. Winter has been an invaluable aide to Leia, using her photographic memory to catalog huge amounts of data for later recall. Winter's abilities were put to use by the Alliance, during its struggle with the Empire. She was known as the Targeter during the Rebellion. Winter became a visible symbol of the New Republic, helping spread Leia's ideals to other worlds, including Cilpar. Winter became a sort of scout for Rogue Squadron following the Battle of Endor, staying one step ahead of Imperial forces and alerting the fledgling New Republic command to any suspicious activity. Winter made the first contact with Elscol Loro on Cilpar, and was instrumental in the recovery of the Eidolon weapons cache. During its recovery, she began to fall in love with Tycho Celchu, and they shared their Alderaanian heritage. She later became the guardian of Han Solo and Leia's children, working with Admiral Ackbar and Luke Skywalker to design a hidden fortress on Anoth. She fought bravely against Ambassador Furgan's attack on the Anoth fortress, but was forced to leave the complex after rescuing the children. She later returned to Anoth, shoring up the planetoid's defenses for future use. Years later, she married Tycho when he retired from the military, and they tried to start a life together. This life was interrupted by the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, when Tycho was recalled to active duty with the military. Winter decided to return to Admiral Ackbar's side, traveling to Calamari to serve as his assistant. As Ackbar's health failed, Winter became both nursemaid and assistant.
