Jaina (Elder)

Jaina was the wife of Jonash Solo and mother of Han Solo. When Han was only two years old he was orphaned when his parents mysteriously vanished. Han remembered a few details about his mother, but his mind would slam shut on certain memories to bury his childhood trauma. He could remember that his mother was gentle, smiled, was clean, smelled good, wore pretty clothes, had smooth skin, and had big, dark eyes. He also had a faint memory that she would dress him up in nice shoes and help fasten them. Han assumed that his parents had not willingly abandoned him because of his faint memories of his loving mother. He believed that he had been kidnapped or that they were killed. After many years, Han would somehow discover his mother's name. Han once claimed he received his blaster pistol as a gift from his mother.

During a mission to smuggle a CR90 Corvette, Han would name the ship Jaina's Light after his mother. Years later, his mother would serve as the namesake for his daughter Jaina Solo.
