Dafi was a female member of a green-skinned near-Human species and a member of a gang led by Human thugs Lemo and Sanda based on the planet Arcan IV during the Imperial Period. In 3 ABY, Dafi and the gang had a fateful encounter with Rebel agents Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca, who had come to Arcan IV looking for information on the whereabouts of their friend Han Solo. After luring them in with hints about the location of the valuable artifacts known as the Dancing Goddess and the Minstrel, Calrissian accidentally revealed his identity, prompting the gang to chase him through the streets. Calrissian's speeder ultimately crashed, causing the Minstrel statue—spilling into the streets at Dafi's feet. Dafi immediately decided to keep the artifact for herself, going so far as to open fire on the members of her former gang after taking possession of the Minstrel.
