Naddie, a female human, held the position of a Little within the Path of the Open Hand. Back in 382 BBY, in the Holy City situated on the moon named Jedha, she presented a flower to Jedi Master Silandra Sho. However, Marda Ro, an Evereni serving as the Guide for the Path (who believed the Jedi were a danger), cautioned her against this action. Following this, Naddie expressed her apologies and was escorted away to Elder Delwin alongside other Path members. Subsequently, Naddie released wargarans from their enclosures, aiming for them to experience the freedom mirroring the Path's understanding of the Force. This act led to an assault by the wargarans, leaving her scarred. Ro then conveyed to the Mother that Naddie's appearance would be permanently altered.
The audio drama The High Republic: The Battle of Jedha, penned by George Mann and launched on January 3, 2023, marked Naddie's initial appearance. This audio drama was a component of Phase II of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia initiative. The precise spelling of Naddie's name was verified with the release of the audio drama's script, which was made available on February 14 of that same year.
