Tivva was a Twi'lek female, the elder sibling of Ce'na, who would later become renowned as Vette. During their youth, Tivva and Ce'na were sold off to separate owners and remained unaware of each other's existence for many years. Tivva ultimately became the property of Toobu the Hutt, where she was employed as an exotic dancer on Nar Shaddaa for a period exceeding two years. In the meantime, Vette pursued a career as a treasure hunter, worked as a hired assassin, and experienced imprisonment on sixteen separate occasions, with the final instance placing her in the service of a formidable Sith Lord. After earning the Sith's confidence and developing a friendship, Vette engaged the services of investigator Krata to locate Tivva, eventually tracing her to Crystal, her supervisor. Tivva failed to recognize her sister upon their initial encounter, having been separated since their early years. Following an emotional reunion, the Sith purchased Tivva's freedom, and she departed with happiness, assuring Vette that they would maintain contact. Subsequently, she began a relationship with a Moff stationed in the Outer Rim. Tivva herself then located her and Vette's mother on Tatooine, only to arrive after her death and witness her funeral. Vette and her Sith companion were both present, and the sisters engaged in a heated dispute regarding whether to eliminate Whuddle the Hutt, who had caused their mother to be overworked. Tivva spoke harsh words to Vette before leaving, but later contacted her to offer an apology, reaching a point of understanding.
