[edit] Biography
Teckla and her half-sister Nandi were born into a middle-class merchant family in the Naboo city of Parrlay. During her school-years, she and her sister were sent to live with their older brother Rehtul in Theed and attended a private school where they learned etiquette, history, arts and hospitality.
Their education was interrupted by the Trade Federation's invasion of Naboo, as the city came under attack. The sisters became separated whilst fleeing into the swamps with elements of the Royal Security Force and Teckla had to endure bombing runs and STAP patrols for days before finding refuge in a swamp village. She stayed there throughout the conflict, and reunited with her sister upon returning to Theed after it had ended.
In the decade following the conflict, Teckla and Nandi finished their education and came into the employ of Senator Amidala. While Amidala was away on business at Coruscant, the servants maintained her family home at Varykino. During Padmé and Anakin Skywalker's stay at the retreat, Teckla served their meals, topping off a romantic dinner with a plate of shuura fruit she had picked herself.
As the Clone Wars began, Teckla was separated from Nandi again, as she was recalled to the Naboo Embassy on Coruscant. She served in Amidala's staff, being one of the few trusted with the secret of her pregnancy, and acting as nurse and caretaker.
Following Padmé's death and the rise of the Galactic Empire, Teckla returned to Naboo and married an aspiring writer. She went on to become a trusted handmaiden to Queen Kylantha and lived out the rest of her life on the planet.
Teckla's name was known to be common to female Humans throughout the galaxy.
