Legend

this woman was the wife of the seventeenth (and final) Viscount Malreaux, and was the mother of Whie. Living on Vjun was hard on Whirry, and the fear of death during Vjun's plague of madness only added grief and heartache to her problems. Whirry herself was infected with the plague, and began to slowly lose her mind. Whie was discovered by a Jedi Master who felt his connection to the Force, just before his father went insane and began killing off the kitchen staff, whom he believed had poisoned him. Whirry feared for Whie's life and begged for him be taken to Coruscant, hoping that he would be able to grow up in a better place than Vjun. However, her already disconsolate mental state was badly shaken by Whie's absence, and Whirry went slowly insane. Her one sane action was to order the family droid, Fidelis, to follow Whie to Coruscant and keep an eye out for his safety. Years later, when Chateau Malreaux was usurped by Count Dooku during the height of the Clone Wars, Whirry was powerless to stop him. Dooku allowed her to live in the Chateau, serving as his maid while continually reminding her of her losses. Her only companion during this time was a Vjun fox named Miss Vix, a creature that vexed Dooku immensely. Dooku found himself entertained by Whirry's strange "talent" for telling a being's future by looking at the remains of an object they had broken by accident. The entertainment value dropped sharply when, just before Jedi Master Yoda arrived on Vjun, Dooku dropped a glass of wine to the floor. While cleaning up the broken glass, Whirry read the shards and told Dooku that he was shortly going to be in deep trouble. Later, when Dooku realized that Whie was on Vjun with Master Yoda, he demanded that Whirry order her personal droid Fidelis to arrange for Whie to meet with Asajj Ventress. Dooku held Miss Vix as his "hostage" in order to compel Whirry to obey, and then was forced to take Whirry hostage when Yoda appeared. In order to exact an escape, Dooku used the Force to fling Whirry out of a window, forcing Yoda to choose between pursuing Dooku and saving Whirry. Yoda chose to let Dooku escape, using the Force to catch Whirry before she could fall to her death. When she was finally reunited with Whie, Whirry found that she didn't recognize her son anymore, and her maddened mind believed that Whie was dead, rather than the young man she was seeing.
