==Biography==
===Racing rival===
The human Bonjj Phalfa was a native of the planet At Attin, which was separated from the rest of the galaxy by the Barrier. Around 9 ABY, he owned a racing hover bike and had plans to race with the middle school student Fern but learned that her bike had broken down. With a human and a Rodian passenger in a sidecar, he flew up to the home of Fern's friend KB, where the pair were working on the broken bike in the garage.
Phalfa called out to them and belittled Fern's bike, prompting her to angrily retort that she would still be able to race. He was doubtful, but told Fern that the race would take place on the weekend, mockingly suggesting that she come as long as her mother, Undersecretary Fara, let her. Phalfa and his two passengers then flew away. KB suggested to Fern that they ask to postpone the race, but Fern refused, as she believed that she had to act tough to deal with Phalfa. However, the pair did not make the race as, in their quest for replacement parts for the bike, KB and Fern accidentally boarded a ship that took them offworld.
===I need your bike===
KB, Fern, and their friends Neel and Wim later returned to At Attin but unknowingly brought the pirate Jod Na Nawood with them. Na Nawood took control of the planet and destroyed the Supervisor who oversaw it, resulting in a power outage across the city where Phalfa lived. During the blackout, Phalfa sat on his hover bike on the side of a suburban road and watched as Fern, Wim, and Neel raced past on their own hover bikes.
Wim's father, Wendle, then ran up alongside Phalfa while chasing the three children. The pair exchanged a glance, after which Wendle took Phalfa's bike in order to pursue his son and the others. Wendle rode the bike all the way to the Supervisor's Tower, where he, the children, and Fara managed to thwart Na Nawood's plans and call the New Republic to At Attin to defeat Na Nawood's crew.
==Personality and traits==
Phalfa was a bully and mocked Fern's bike, calling it a baby toy, and suggested that she was controlled by her mother. Fern considered Phalfa a jerk. He had light skin, brown hair, and green eyes.
==Equipment==
Bonjj Phalfa flew a blue hover bike and wore a black jacket with various emblems sewn onto the sleeves and shoulders. He also wore a pair of fingerless black gloves, brown pants, and brown shoes.
