Greeata

Born on the Rodian homeworld of Rodia, the green skinned Rodian female Greeata Jendowanian was considered an outcast by the violent Rodian society for her love of music and dance. The name "Greeata" was a common name for female Rodians meaning "talented." Rather than focus on hunting, Greeata absorbed any information she could find on the music and dance of many intergalactic cultures. Having rejected the values of Rodian culture, Greeata left her homeworld to perform as a Kloo horn player aboard the intergalactic cruiseliner Kuari Princess. In 19 BBY, she visited Coruscant and was present at the Squid Lake performance at the Galaxies Opera House.

Greeata developed a friendship with Sy Snootles, lead singer for Kuari Princess's house band. After forcefully rejecting the sexual advances of a male Rodian, Greeata and Sy left the house band to perform as a duo. Evar Orbus discovered the pair performing in the Green Planet nightclub on Tothis. Mesmerized by Snootles' voice, Orbus asked her to audition for his band. While excited, Snootles said that she would only join if Orbus offered Greeata a spot. After learning that Greeata could sing, dance, and play the Kloo horn, Evar signed her on as a dancer on a per diem rate.

After fifteen years of dancing with Lyn Me and Rystáll Sant, Greeata was first accepted as a full member when Max Rebo founded his own band. During her tenure in Jabba the Hutt's palace, the Rodian wore bracelets that suppressed her pheromones. In 4 ABY, when performing Jedi Rocks in the palace throne room, fellow dancer Oola was fed to Jabba's rancor, while the band members were surprised about her death and annoyed about being interrupted. Greeata was horrified and covered her face with her hands, unable to look at what happened to her fellow dancer. However, it was not long after Greeata began singing with the Max Rebo Band that Jabba was killed and his sail barge destroyed. In the chaos that followed, Greeata's skills with a blaster saved the band from a pack of Tusken Raiders.

Greeata and Rystáll later joined The Palpatones, where they were reunited with Joh Yowza. Greeata attained popularity as the band's lead singer. Notably, she gained fame with her hit song "Kick the Ranat."

Appearance: Greeata has smooth, green reptilian skin covered in fine, textured scales. Her head is elongated and slightly ridged, with two rounded nubs rising from the crown. Her large, glossy black eyes dominate her face, perfectly spherical and featureless. The top of her head features a short, thick crest-like mohawk extending into long, bright yellow hair that flow down her back, the strands ridged and layered with visible sculpted depth and slight dark streaking. She wears a vivid orange outfit made of two main pieces. The upper portion consists of a small, orange bra-like top that covers her chest snugly, connected by a thin strip running vertically down the center of her torso. A wide orange sash wraps tightly around her waist, knotted at the side, with a loose fabric panel that drapes down the front to mid-thigh length. The skirt portion opens at the sides, revealing her scaled green legs beneath. Her wrists, upper arms, and ankles are adorned with bronze-gold metallic cuffs that fit closely to her limbs, each etched with subtle banding. Around her neck, she wears a decorative choker featuring a small pendant at its center. Her toes and broad feet are fully visible, three toed and matching the same scaled green texture as the rest of her body.

The Palpatones was a band formed following the Battle of the Great Pit of Carkoon. Following the battle, Joh Yowza, who had performed with the Max Rebo Band, fled to a small passenger liner in the planet Tatooine's city of Mos Eisley. Aboard the liner, Yowza started The Palpatones with two other former Max Rebo Band members, Rystáll Sant and Greeata Jendowanian, the latter of whom became the lead singer. A rival to the Max Rebo Band, The Palpatones enjoyed limited success in the Outer Rim Territories with their hit single "Kick the Ranat," which also helped them become an intergalactic sensation.

"Kick the Ranat" was a song performed as a hit single by The Palpatones, a band formed by Greeata Jendowanian, Rystáll Sant, and Joh Yowza after the crime lord Jabba the Hutt was killed at the Battle of the Great Pit of Carkoon.

Rodians were a species of reptilian humanoids. They possessed large pupil-less eyes that could see in infrared spectrum. Rodians also had twin saucer-like antennae that detected vibrations and twitched atop their head. Rodians also had slender snouts, pointed ears, and a ridge of spines cresting their skulls. Their snouts were said to resemble those of tapirs. Green—but sometimes red, yellow, or turquoise—scales covered their bodies, and their skin had a rough, pebbly texture, except on the snout and hands. They were cold blooded and had green blood. Females were physically distinguished by their mammary glands, and some of them, like Greeata Jendowanian, were capable of growing long tresses. The Rodian hand featured five long, dexterous fingers with suction cups at the ends. The pads helped them cope with the variety of conditions associated with living in a swamp, and could be used to help them climb aquatic vegetation. The shape of the Rodian hand, however, was as such that if an object was designed for their species, it would be uncomfortable for a human to use. Their toes were a lot like their fingers: long and tipped by suction cups.
