Mumaw Umwaw
Ithorean Noble

Mumaw grew up on Ithor with merchant parents. Her mother was elected a junior noble, and she followed in her foot steps. While learning the noble duties expected for when she was older, she was also training to be a merchant in hopes of taking over the family business.
When Mumaw was twelve, she helped a Neimoidian who claimed to be in trouble and needed supplies to get back to his home planet. However, he used the supplies to attack the Mother Jungle, destroying a section of it. Mumaw's act of betrayal caused her to be banished from her home planet and sent away to be traded. The banishment stripped her of her junior noble status.
The traders were not able to get rid of Mumaw and decided to leave her on the farthest land they were visiting. Abandoning her with only the one plant she could carry from Ithor on Ghomrassen.
She spent the next year trying to make the new place feel like home. She planted the plant and watched it grow briefly but the climate was too different and eventually the plant gave up and died regardless of what she did for it. Mumaw saved the last few leaves for medical purposes and went in search of other flora. While searching she came across a wounded Jedi. With the assistance of the leaves and a few weeks of recovery she healed the Jedi.
When it came time for the Jedi to return to Tatooine he invited Mumaw to travel with him. Desperate to reconnect with other Ithoreans, Mumaw accepted.
Once on Tatooine, the pair  leaving Mumaw to search on her own. She was pleased to find a familiar looking tree after a few days and this renewed her hope in the search. The next day she stumbled into a cantina and found a herd of four banished Ithoreans. The herd connection she thought she needed and wanted during the year on Ghomrassen wasn't filled being with the group. She gave it a couple months but didn't make the connection she wanted or needed. So she set out on her own to find what she longed for.
While wandering, she came across a partially dismembered 2-1b medical droid. With the droid's guidance she attached the pieces. The willingness to help and attention to detail surprised the droid into making a deal with her. If Mumaw would assist in getting the droid back to her rightful owner (a droid collecting Ortolan), she would teach the Ithorean cybernetic surgery. The couple traveled the planet in search of someone heading in the direction of Orto willing to add two more to their flight roster during the day and training for surgeries in the evening. A Muun was interested in the story and offered to fly them with a warning, however, that there was someone trying to take his ship and most of the goods he brought to help the outcasts.
As warned during flight the ship came under attack destroying the shield and injuring the pilot. Without hesitation 2-1b started medical treatment while Mumaw took control of the vessel  enough to dodge other shots and shoot back. Putting the attacking ship on the defense she was able to get away and land on the next safe planet. They were able to find someone to fix the shield and give the pilot time to heal. This time was spent sharing stories about how 2-1b was stolen then left on Tatooine, and Mumaw explained being shunned off her home planet and losing the chance of being a noble.
When both were ready to fly again, he decided it would be safer to land on his home planet before continuing to Orto. Thinking less time continuously in the air would create less of a chance of getting attacked. He also wanted to introduce the pair to some of his friends after they saved his life and ship. Little did Mumaw know, he planned a celebration for her brave and caring acts to make her an honorary noble. The celebration was the second night before they were set to leave. She was ecstatic at the news and felt a sense of peace she had not felt since Ithor. The pair were told that anytime they needed anything they could come back to the planet as long as they stay on the track of healing and helping.
They were not welcomed on Orto like they thought they should have been. There were reward posters on each building for the return of 2-1b, and even the locals saw the droid they attacked Mumaw and  the Muun thinking they were the ones who stole him. Once the droid reunited with her owner, she explained the heroic measures and kindness Mumaw showed her and that she was not the thief. Finally the reward was split between the ones originally accused.
