Hari Seldona was an Alderaanianpoet who had written many famous odes about the planet Alderaan, and was so famous that she traveled among the galaxy reading them to any who would listen.

As a young poetess, Hari Seldona studied ancient litterature at the Byron College of Aldera. She lived in the universitary campus, which overlooks the lake to the south of the city. She was the girlfriend of Soltan Wostikian, the founder of the rebellious bandRed Line. This band became the voice of the oppressed, drawing attention to the poor and the marginalized. This was not well received in the upper reaches of power, and Wostikian was murdered a few month before the Battle of Yavin.[1]
After the death of her boyfriend, Seldona and other surviving members of Red Line became involved with the Alderaanian Resistance movement.[1]
Ambiguously canon information ends here.
After the Galactic Civil War erupted, Hari Seldona would venture off Alderaan and read her poems to the passerby. She was doing so in the Corellian sector when the first Death Star destroyed Alderaan. She immediately dropped out of sight to avoid Imperial reprisal, though would occasionally appear unannounced, read her poetry and speak out against the New Order, disappearing before stormtroopers could arrive.[2]
This name is probably a reference to Hari Seldon, a character in Isaac Asimov's Foundation novels. Other than similar names, however, the two characters have nothing in common.
