Legend

the six-breasted female Askajian dancer in Jabba's palace, Yarna was known as one of the greatest dancers on the planet Askaj. Her name, Yarna, meant "beautiful" in her native language. She grew up as the daughter of an Askajian chieftain, and learned to dance for th honor of her tribe. Yarna was captured on her homeworld, along with her husband Nautag and their four cubs, and forced into slavery by Jabba the Hutt. One of her cubs was killed during the capture. Nautag was fed to the rancor for protesting his enslavement, and the remaining three cubs were kept at Jabba's townhouse in order to ensure Yarna's complete acceptance of her slavery. Over time, she became one of Jabba's most favored dancers. Jabba ordered her to wear cosmetic "beauty lumps" on her face, to make her look more like his mother. When Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon, Yarna was still in the palace. She met up with Doallyn, and the two of them escaped from Tessek and B'omarr monks and fled to Mos Eisley. There, she recovered her three cubs and fled Tatooine, with Doallyn, to Geran. There, they decided to become freelance traders, living aboard their starship. Yarna danced on the side, and even performed the Dance of the Seventy Violet Veils at the wedding of Han Solo and Leia Organa.
