Cheriville

Cheriville was a human woman who was part of the Nihil marauders with their husband, the Nihil commander Vark Tarpalin, during the High Republic Era. The wife watched historical holodramas and told Tarpalin about them, including one that included information about the Scarlet Skull Cult child assassins. By that time, the commander kept a framed painting of Cheriville hung in his city hall office on the Outer Rim planet Valo. In the artwork, the woman held a Gedonian ground weevil and donned Nihil body armor.
In 229 BBY,The events of The High Republic: Escape from Valo take place one year after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, which equates to 229 BBY per Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia. when Tarpalin's Dark Fair event on Valo was attacked by Jedi Padawan Ram Jomaram, who was operating under the code name the "Scarlet Skull," he was reminded of his wife's holodramas. Later, the aspiring pirate Zyle Keem and the Jedi youngling Gavi broke into Tarpalin's office and noticed the paintings of the man and Cheriville, with the former thinking the woman had fashionable hair.
