Alana was a Human female who was one of the handmaidens, with Mina, of Princess Leia during the Galactic Civil War. She returned with her mistress, Annikin Starkiller, Artoo and Threepio to the secret Underground Fortress on Aquilae from the Academy of Chatos at Yuell, after the Galactic Empire invaded the Aquilaean system.
Her counterpart Mina remained behind as a decoy, since she physically resembled the young princess.
Alana was a somewhat stocky and short young adult.
