A female Wookiee , Athnalu lived in Kerritamba Village near the Kkowir Forest on the planet Kashyyyk during the Galactic Civil War . Shortly after the Battle of Yavin , Athnalu came under the belief that the Sayormi people — a mysterious species that lived in the Dead Forest of the Kkowir Forest — had placed a spell on her . She thought herself possessed and cursed by the Sayormi . Believing that her very soul was rotting away , Athnalu lived in constant pain and fear , which caused her to grow increasingly mentally unstable . That same year , Athnalu was approached by a spacer who was visiting her village . Athnalu explained her situation and the curse she believed she was under and pleaded for the spacer to help her . The spacer accepted the Wookiee ' s request for assistance , and Athnalu tasked the traveler with collecting five voodoo dolls that she thought the Sayormi were using to possess her . By having the dolls , Athnalu hoped they would help her understand why the Sayormi had placed the curse on her . After the spacer had completed the task and returned to Athnalu , the Wookiee rewarded the being with 1 , 000 credits . However , unsatisfied with the results from the dolls , Athnalu again asked the spacer for assistance . The spacer agreed , and Athnalu told the traveler to find three more items that she thought were needed to cure her : the eyes of a shadevale , snakes that lived in the nearby lake s and streams ; hairs from a mouf , large , woolly creatures that wandered the forest ; and finally a Mysess blossom , a flower that grew in the village . The spacer dutifully collected all she requested and brought them to Athnalu , which the Wookiee mixed together into a potion and consumed . Now satisfied that she was free of the curse ' s influence , she thanked the spacer and rewarded the being with another 1 , 200 credits and a special ceremonial chair from the village .

When the spacer attempted to talk to her , Athnalu acted distant , often looking off into space or occasionally not responding to the being ' s questions . Athnalu was desperate to find a cure for her supposed curse , at one point grabbing onto the spacer ' s shoulder and demanding that the traveler find her the five voodoo dolls , injuring the spacer in the process .
