**Numa** was a Twi'lek female who lived on the Outer Rim planet of Ryloth during the rise of the Galactic Empire. A youngling displaced by the Separatist invasion of her homeworld during the Clone Wars, she befriended two Republic clone troopers, Waxer and Boil, and came to see them as brothers, forming a strong bond with them. Inspired by Waxer and Boil, in the years that followed under the reign of the Empire, Numa joined a rebel cell that operated on Ryloth under the command of General Cham Syndulla.

Numa was a Twi'lek female who had pink eyes, teal blue skin, pink lips, and a slender build.

As a child during the Clone Wars, Numa was very curious and inquisitive about new things, but was also shy and carried a fear of droids and other threats she couldn't identify as people. She wasn't afraid to defend herself, however, and initially bit Boil's finger when he approached her. Despite her fear, she was also brave, and cared deeply for the ones close to her. She came to view Boil and Waxer as older brothers to her, a bond that was reciprocated by the two clones.

Following the end of the Clone Wars and rise of the Galactic Empire, Numa grew up to become a capable soldier in the Free Ryloth Movement, even considered by General Cham Syndulla as one of his best fighters, after having been inspired to fight for her homeworld by the memory of the two clones who helped her years prior. Even after a long time apart, her bond with her "brothers" remained very strong, and she was overjoyed to see Boil nearly two decades after their previous meeting, though was also distraught to learn of Waxer's death. Coming so far as to consider Boil her family, she was willing to travel offworld to support him in assisting Hera Syndulla liberate the planet Lothal from the Empire and later battled alongside him, his remaining brothers, and the Alliance to Restore the Republic in the Galactic Civil War.
