Allya

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Allya was a female Human Jedi Knight expelled from the Order around 600 BBY where she was exiled to Dathomir. She soon took command of the inhabitants who were the descendants of humans incarcerated on Dathomir by the extinct Paecian Empire, and established a matriarchal society with a genetic Force component.^[1] This new society filled with clans of female rancor tamers who used totems and incantations to generate their magic became known as the Witches of Dathomir.^[1] To govern the Witches, Allya wrote The Book of Law which would continue to govern even long after her death.^[2] Allya died when the oldest of her daughters was only sixteen, and thus the Witches of Dathomir never learned that the magic they used was actually the Force. Despite her death, Allya's society and unique culture had survived well into the modern eras.^[1]

Hundreds of years later, the Hapan Queen Mother Tenel Ka's daughter Allana would be her partial namesake.^[3]
