==Biography==
Yesula was a child who lived on the Outer Rim astronomical object Veek with her father and their droid, Zeekay, during the High Republic Era. She also had a mother, who at some point passed away. At some point no earlier than 227 BBY,The section of The Acolyte - Kelnacca 1 in which Yesula appears occurs at least three years after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates to 230 BBY. Yesula's home, as well as multiple buildings around it, caught on fire. When Jedi Master Kelnacca and his Padawan, Yarzion Vell, arrived to rescue them, Yesula's father told her that they had to leave, but Yesula protested. Vell then told them to leave and that the Force would protect them from the flames, and Yesula's father carried her out of the building.
After they escaped, the two Jedi also safely exited. Yesula then cried out, prompting her father to hush her, but she fretted that Zeekay was still in the building. Her father explained to Vell that he was their droid but that it did not matter as he was old and barely functioning. However, Yesula insisted that it did matter, as Zeekay had holos of her mother in his databank and that losing him would be like losing her again. Upon hearing this, Vell reentered the burning home and rescued Zeekay. The Jedi gave the droid back to Yesula and her father thanked him for doing so.
Afterward, Vell apologized to Kelnacca for rescuing Zeekay, stating he knew that it was only a droid but that he had done so because of what Yesula had said about the holos of her mother. However, Kelnacca immediately knighted him. Later, Yesula watched as Vell tattooed his own name on Kelnacca's head, as the Jedi Master wished to follow a tradition of Vell's homeworld. By 133 BBY,"Day"—which the events of take place in 132 BBY per the reasoning here—establishes that Kelnacca had lived on Khofar for at least a year. As the present day events of The Acolyte - Kelnacca 1 occur before Kelnacca lived on Khofar, they must take place by 133 BBY. as Vell was dying, he mentioned Yesula to his own Padawan, Ordea, while telling them about his training under Kelnacca.
