Mina, a Human woman, was among the handmaidens attending to Princess Leia, alongside Alana, throughout the period of the Galactic Civil War. Following the Galactic Empire's incursion into the Aquilaean system, she stayed behind at the Academy of Chatos on Yuell, pretending to be her royal superior.
Mina's physical appearance was similar to Leia's, including her long, dark hair.
The concept of a handmaiden stand-in taking the place of a royal individual was later implemented in Episode I.
