Pilbush

Piblush was a female Ewok Hunter at the Grand Arena on Vespaara. Pilbush was something of a superfan of the Rebel Alliance, having been regaled with tales of family who fought in the Battle of Endor of 4 ABY since she was very young. As she grew up, Pilbush developed a fascination with all things explosive, which eventually led to a stint in the New Republic Defense Fleet. After getting her fill of trying new and interesting ways to blow things up, Pilbush came to the Arena in 9 ABY with hopes of seeing even more combat action, especially in her custom-built All Terrain Ewok Transport, which appeared very similar to an AT-ST.
==Biography==
As a wokling, Pilbush was deeply inspired by stories of her parents and their comrades, who fought alongside the Rebel Alliance to oust Imperial forces during the Battle of Endor.
After watching Sentinel's Imperial takeover of the Grand Arena on the HoloNet, Pilbush was inspired to join the combat competition, the Hunters of the Outer Rim, as a Hunter herself. She was signed to the Hunters by Arena co-owner Balada the Hutt.
Pilbush eventually met Sentinel in person and took an instant dislike to him. He was an Imperial loyalist and held a mutual dislike of her. At their first meeting, Pilbush expressed to Sentinel in Ewokese a sentiment so inappropriate that fellow Hunter J-3DI refused to translate it in its entirety. Sentinel was equally rude, first pretending not to see her, then mocking her for using Imperial equipment despite her adoration of the Rebellion, referencing her All Terrain Ewok Transport walker. Enraged, Pilbush lunged at Sentinel, who easily held her off with one hand. Embarrassed, Pilbush backed down and slunk away.
As regular Arena interviewer Boz Vega couldn't speak Ewokese, the job of interviewing Pilbush fell to his co-commentator, L-X1. During the interview, Pilbush spoke about how excited she was to have joined the Hunters. She spoke fondly of many of the friends she had made thus far in the Arena, including the Human Rebel Zaina, the Mon Calamari mechanic Sprocket, the Jedi droid J-3DI, and the Wookiee, Grozz, who Pilbush mistook for a particularly large Ewok. She briefly commented on her dislike of Sentinel, and spoke proudly of her AT-TE, which her new friend Sprocket helped her build.
Late one night, Sentinel graffitied Pilbush's walker with the Imperial crest. He attempted to justify his actions, but Arena co-owner Daq Dragus was unimpressed, and forced Sentinel to clean the Ewok's walker, though not before an furious Pillbush saw what the Imperial had done.
After consulting with her new friends, Pilbush hopped in her AT-ET and blasted Sentinel's favorite E-Web Heavy Repeater. The next morning, Pilbush woke up to see her walker's legs disassembled outside her doorstep. When Daq Dragus learned about these goings-on, he reproached them and insisted they repair each other's equipment.
Finally fed up, Pilbush challenged Sentinel to a Clash. The battle did not go in her favor, and Pilbush lost the Clash. Despite his victory, Sentinel continued berating her, even on the winner's podium.
Pillbush continued training with her friends. She was irritated by Sentinel's continued remarks, but Zaina eventually convinced her to ignore him.
Although Pilbush had put the feud behind her, Sentinel had not. One night, while drinking a cup of caf, Pilbush answered a knock at her door to find a data-slate containing footage of the Rebel Alliance's greatest defeat at the Battle of Hoth. Knowing it was from Sentinel, Pilbush jumped into her AT-TE and blasted a hole through Sentinel's prep-pod. As punishment, Daq Dragus forced the two of them to work together to move Sentinel's surviving possessions to a new pod. Hours later, once they were finished, Dragus told them to say once nice thing about the other. Sentinel refused, Pilbush started cursing at him, and Dragus walked away in disgust.
==Personality and traits==
Pilbush was a female Ewok with pink skin, white fur, and yellow eyes with black pupils. She commonly wore yellow clothing and a Rebel Alliance Special Forces helmet with feathers sticking out of the top, as well as various twigs and leaves adorning her furry body. Pilbush was no fan of the Empire, leading to her wariness of both Sentinel and K-A0S. True to her rebel fandom, Pilbush was good friends with Zaina, as she was an actual Rebel Alliance war hero, and Grozz, because Pilbush practically viewed the Wookiee as nothing more than a very large Ewok.
==Equipment==
Pilbush primarily utilized a custom-built All Terrain Ewok Transport during the Hunters of the Outer Rim competition, which was highly mobile, even able to gain an additional temporary speed boost while also healing its driver. She also brought a Cluster Bomb into combat, and like her fellow Ewoks, could weaponize Endor's native Wisties as well.
==Behind the scenes==
Pilbush is a playable Hunter announced for Season 3 of the mobile competitive her shooter, Star Wars: Hunters. She was officially revealed in a trailer on August 28, 2024, with an official profile posted to the Zynga Star Wars the following day. Pilbush was designed by Ross Burt and George Brierly.
