Ramana, a Twi'lek woman with green skin, existed in the time of the Old Republic. She was first the property of a male Twi'lek named Harra, but after Harra lost a bet, she became enslaved by Doton Het on the planet Telos IV. On Telos IV, Ramana was forced to work as a dancer in the local Cantina, performing on stage with a musical group of Bith. Despite Harra's later desire to have Ramana returned to him, he sought the assistance of Meetra Surik, who won Ramana's freedom through a game of Pazaak. Although Ramana accompanied Surik back to Harra, she chose not to remain with him. To Harra's astonishment, Surik granted Ramana the freedom to choose her own path.
Another possibility is that Meetra Surik chose to purchase Ramana from Doton instead, permitting her to continue dancing in the cantina and arranging to return later to retrieve her wages.
