==Biography==
The Zeltron female Meli Day was a Force-sensitive individual who joined the Jedi Order as a Jedi youngling during the High Republic Era. She grew up in a Jedi temple alongside human youngling Gella Nattai. Day often wandered into the forests surrounding the temple, telling Nattai she wanted to listen independently to the Force and strike out on her own. However, the latter girl felt she could not relate to her friend and envied the Zeltron's certainty in herself. At some point afterward, Day opted to become a Wayseeker and operate outside the purview of the Jedi High Council.

Nattai—now a Jedi Knight—reminisced on growing up alongside Day to the Padawan Enya Keen. When Keen asked Nattai why she had not gone through with becoming a Wayseeker herself, the latter internally reflected that she had mixed feelings about her future path, unlike Day's firm resolve to pursue a specific course. However, the Jedi Knight only briefly replied to the Padawan that it was not the right step for her. However, later that same year,The High Republic: Cataclysm features the Night of Sorrow, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 382 BBY. Nattai petitioned the Jedi Council to become a Wayseeker and was granted their approval.The High Republic: Cataclysm
