Numa / Legends Numa was a Twi ' lek girl who lived in the city of Nabat on the planet Ryloth during the Clone Wars . In 21 BBY , the Confederacy of Independent Systems invaded Ryloth , during which Numa ' s parents were presumed killed . While most of the surviving Twi ' leks in Nabat were rounded up and taken as prisoners , Numa was able to avoid capture , and lived in the abandoned city and the tunnel system underneath it during the Separatist occupation . Later , the Galactic Republic launched a counterattack to free Ryloth and its people . During the subsequent battle , Numa befriended a pair of clone troopers named Waxer and Boil , who had been on a reconnaissance to Nabat . After the trio escaped from a group of gutkurrs — which had been released by the Separatist ' s droid army to halt the Republic ' s advance — through the underground tunnels , they met back up with Waxer and Boil ' s squad . Numa showed the company ' s commander , General Obi - Wan Kenobi , the system of tunnels she had been hiding in , which they used to flank the droid forces controlling Nabat and free the captured Twi ' leks . During the battle , Numa was reunited with her uncle , Nilim Bril . Biography . Numa was a young Twi ' lek girl who lived in the city of Nabat on the planet of Ryloth during the Clone Wars . One day in 22 BBY , Numa was playing with her friend Lubo in Nabat ' s market place while her mother was shopping , when Tronda , a friend of her mother , said that she sensed a storm coming , even though the skies were clear . When Numa and her mother returned home , Numa ' s father asked her why he had found her tooka doll in the tunnel system underneath Nabat , which the Twi ' lek ' s used as shelter during storms . Numa said that tooka had followed a " bright eye " down into the tunnels last night . Later that night , Numa again saw the " bright eye " — which actually was a Separatist recon droid — and began to follow it . As Numa followed the recon droid into the tunnels system , she heard several loud explosions , scaring the young Twi ' lek . Numa climbed out of the tunnels , and saw a large Separatists invasion force landing on Ryloth , with the battle droids already on the ground taking away the surviving Twi ' leks . The Confederacy of Independent Systems had invaded Ryloth and enslaved most of its Twi ' lek populace . The Republic soon mounted a bold offensive to invade and liberate the planet . While scouting ahead , clone troopers Waxer and Boil of Ghost Company met Numa in an alley . Initially thinking them to be enemy droids , Numa was rather fearful of them , even going so far as to bite Boil ' s finger . However , after the two took off their helmets , she relaxed , even calling the two " Nerra ! " , and she accepted a ration bar from the clones . Boil was initially against helping her , but Waxer , who had developed a little compassion for the girl , worried about her well - being . Numa led the clones to her home , which was now wrecked and practically empty . After Waxer gave her a tooka doll , she began to cry , and the two clones comforted her . However , after Waxer and Boil received a transmission from Commander Cody , they realized that they were late and had disobeyed orders . As the two clones began to leave , a group of gutkurrs appeared , and they were forced back into the house . Numa showed the two clones an underground passage beneath a carpet in her house , and they entered it , eventually re - emerging near Obi - Wan , Cody and Ghost Company , who had just encountered the gutkurrs themselves . Cody was initially displeased with the clones , but once Obi - Wan saw Numa , he understood what had " sidetracked " the two . Obi - Wan conversed to Numa in Twi ' leki , and learned that she could take them to the prisoners via the tunnels . Cody created a diversion , and Obi - Wan was able to free the Twi ' lek prisoners , and Numa was reunited with her uncle , Nilim Bril . After Obi - Wan , Waxer and Boil destroyed the proton cannons , tactical droid commander TX - 20 appeared in his tank and blasted the three aside . Numa , fearing for her friends , ran over to Waxer and Boil , demonstating her bravery and compassion for her friends . Once they had recovered , she returned to Obi - Wan . TX - 20 targeted the two , but before he could destroy them , the Twi ' leks , inspired by her courage , attacked the tactical droid and forcefully dismantled him , while Obi - Wan attempted , unsuccessfully , to shield her eyes from the violence . As the Republic forces prepared to march to the capital city of Lessu and retake it to free the planet , Waxer and Boil said goodbye to her , promising that they would be back . Numa called out " Nerra ! " one last time , and Obi - Wan translated its meaning : brother . Personality and traits . Numa was only a child during the Clone Wars , therefore she was wary and scared of droids and other threats . However , Numa was not afraid to defend herself , as seen when she bit Boil ' s finger . She was nonetheless very brave and cared for her friends . Numa helped to nurture compassion in both Waxer and Boil , and the two clones cared for her to the extent of delaying their mission to help the young girl . Behind the scenes . Numa is portrayed by voice actress Catherine Taber in . In a tweet , Taber opined that , in her mind , Numa was descended from the characters Mission Vao and Vette , whom she also voiced . A cartoon drawing of Numa appears on the right side of Boil ' s helmet in the episode Landing at Point Rain , and on Waxer ' s helmet in Darkness on Umbara and Carnage of Krell . An older Numa has since appeared in the Canon series " Star Wars Rebels " , expanding her story , in which she fought for the Free Ryloth movement against the Galactic Empire . Given that the show itself is canon , it is unknown what became of Numa in the Legends continuity .
