Shirene

Shirene was a human woman who lived on the Outer Rim planet Akiva with her wife, Esmelle, during the Imperial Era. In 1 ABY, when Esmelle's sister, the pilot Norra Wexley, left Akiva, she and her wife took Norra's son Temmin Wexley into their care. However, Temmin eventually left his aunts' home and began operating a junk shop in the world's capital city. Over the following years, Temmin continued to help Shirene and Esmelle with household duties.

In 4 ABY, Norra returned to Akiva and was displeased to learn that Temmin had not stayed with his aunts for some time. When the pilot and Esmelle argued over the issue, Shirene defused the situation and attempted to explain that she and her wife had not been equipped to handle parenting a strong-willed child like Temmin. Shortly after, the woman lent Norra her bala-bala speeder when she chose to follow her son back to his junk shop. The following year, Shirene and Esmelle attended the funeral of Norra's husband, Brentin Wexley. By 34 ABY, she and her wife continued to reside on Akiva and occasionally dined with Norra and her partner, the pilot Wedge Antilles.
