Legend

this Ewok was the younger brother of Keoulkeech, and grew up alongside his brother in the Red Bush Grove on the Forest Moon of Endor. However, Leektar lacked Keoulkeech's ability to interact with the natural world, a fact that was visibly demonstrated by the minimal growth of his soul tree. Leektar found nothing in which he could excel until he fell win love with Chesea, and Leektar became a devoted husband and father of three Woklings. However, in a selfish moment, Leektar prayed to the Leaf Queen for increased status among his tribe. Shortly afterward, a bolt of lightning struck the village of Red Bush Grove, setting off a forest fire that destroyed the village and killed all the Ewoks in it. Only Leektar survived, and he realized that his selfish desires had come true. He felt responsible for the loss, knowing that his wish had caused the destruction. Leektar left Red Bush Grove behind, and set out into the forest, where he encountered a scouting party from another Ewok tribe being harrased by Imperial stormtroopers. His timely intervention saved the scouts, who brought Leektar back to their home of Bright Tree Village. There, he became one of Chief Chirpa's advisors, and was given the title of Honorary Elder for his bravery. After the Battle of Endor, Leektar was reunited with his brother, Keoulkeech, who had survived the fire at Red Bush Grove and had dedicated himself to healing the forests.
