Ayy Vida was an exotic Twi'lek dancer in Coruscant's Outlander Club. She was often accompanied by her friend, the purple-skinned Lunae Minx. She was the unwilling consort of the petty criminal Hat Lo, and would have fled from him if not for her fear of his Weequay bodyguard, Tas Kee.
One night in 22 BBY, she caught the eye of a Achk Med-Beq, a young Republic Officer. She may have believed that he would take her away from the lifestyle, but he was nothing more than a con-artist.
Though originally yellow-skinned, Ayy had her skin artificially dyed to produce a mottled, red-yellow pattern.
