Jira was a poor, old woman who ran a food stand in the Mos Espa marketplace on Tatooine. Among the foods she sold were tasty treats called pallies.
Jira depended on a cooling unit to keep her foods fresh, especially in the Tatooine heat. When she suffered from a broken cooling unit, it was Anakin Skywalker who came to rescue, by giving her the money to purchase a new one.
She was known for telling the tale of the mysterious wandering "Nobot" to those with two peggats to spare.
Before departing with Qui-Gon Jinn Anakin gave Jira a portion of the money he made from selling his podracer.
