Tuya

Tuya was a Twi'lek Hunter at the Grand Arena on Vespaara. She was smaller than other Hunters and owned the droid T-U8. She was a slicer and bioengineer with a bouncy, chaotic energy. She sometimes wore a blue-and-green outfit. During the Imperial Era, Tuya spent a time in Coronet City, running missions to steal Imperial data. When goons attacked the Grand Arena, intent on causing destruction, Tuya fought back, but was knocked unconscious. After waking up, she tossed a Dyplotid into the stands.

Tuya was a prankster with an anti-authority, punk attitude. Formerly employed as a bioengineer at Medtech Industries, she developed a Nanite Launcher prototype with potential to heal or harm. When she realized her research was being used for harmful purposes by Medtech, she stole back her prototype and abandoned the company. Her commitment to helping the downtrodden and vulnerable brought her into conflict with fellow Hunter Skora, whose avant-garde approach to medicine clashed with her values. Nevertheless, Tuya was friends with Zaina and Rieve in the Arena.

Tuya used her Nanite Launcher in the Arena to support her allies and combat enemy Hunters. T-U8 rounded out her skill set by allowing Tuya to launch herself using a grapple attached to the droid and by healing her and her allies.
