Princess Kneesaa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Princess Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka, better known as Princess Kneesaa is a fictional character from the Star Wars Expanded Universe. She appeared in the Star Wars: Ewoks cartoon.
[edit] Early life
Princess Kneesaa is an Ewok who was born on the forest moon of Endor and was also the best friend of Wicket W. Warrick. She was the daughter of Chief Chirpa, the Ewok Leader of the Bright Tree Village which was built fifty meters from ground level among the boughs of the hundred-meter trees that covered the forest moon. Her mother was the late Ra-Lee and she also had a long-lost sister by the name of Asha. Later in her life, her father re-married and Kneesaa's stepmother gave birth to two new woklings, Nippet and Wiley, for whom Kneessa would often have to babysit. Kneesaa was always one of the more trusting among the Ewoks, but was still cautious as her species was known to be.
[edit] Heroism
Kneesaa, along with Wicket, managed to become heroes of their village even whilst still in their youth after helping to save the trees of the forest from giant green life-forms known as Phlogs, who had come to Endor from their planet Simoom. The Phlogs had planned to cut down the trees of Endor and build their ruler a castle with it, but both Wicket and Kneesaa managed to drive them away and as a reward for their heroism, the village Elders made Wicket and Kneesaa honorary council members and although this title held no privileges, Wicket and Kneesaa were overjoyed nonetheless.
Nothing is known of Kneesaa beyond adolescence and similarly nothing is known of her siblings. Her father, Chirpa, is still chief after forty-two seasons.
