Esla, belonging to the Melodie species, held the esteemed title of Elder and bore Aragon as her son. Within the Melodie community residing on Sistra Mountain, she served as the "Keeper of Legends". By 22 ABY, she had long passed away, preceding the arrival of Jedi initiates Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila on her native world of Yavin 8. These Jedi hopefuls accompanied Lyric, who was about to participate in her Changing Ceremony upon reaching the age of twenty, and were in pursuit of knowledge regarding the genesis of the Golden Globe. Her son, Aragon, described Esla as a woman of beauty, characterized by abundant, lengthy black hair, striking yellow eyes, and delicately pale pink lips.
Her role afforded her a deep recollection of Yavin 8's history, a legacy transferred across generations. In 3997 BBY, the Massassi journeyed to the moon seeking insights into liberating their offspring from the Golden Globe. This construct was created by the Dark Lord of the Sith known as Exar Kun with the purpose of extracting vital energies from its prisoners and exerting control over the Massassi. The Melodies, unable to offer assistance, left behind inscribed messages within the moon's rocks and caverns, hoping for a future individual to decipher them and free their children.
