Ekria is a name found inscribed on the walls of two separate safehouses used by the [Hidden Path]: one on the planet Mapuzo, and another on the planet Jabiim. The Path served as an underground railroad, helping Force-sensitives and Jedi escape the clutches of the Galactic Empire around 9 BBY.
Within current Star Wars canon, Ekria's debut was in "Part III" of the Obi-Wan Kenobi television series, which premiered on June 1, 2022. Conversely, in Star Wars Legends continuity, Ekria was a Jedi Padawan who managed to survive the Great Jedi Purge. Ultimately, she rejected her Jedi past and intended to live a normal life. Her initial appearance was in Reversal of Fortune, a daily webcomic series written by Paul Ens and drawn by Thomas Hodges, which was published on Hyperspace from October 2004 to June 2005.
