Vareesa Enan was a wide-eyed sightseer from Ithor who journeyed to Ralltiir in the time before the Clone Wars erupted. She was related to Vanster Enan, the proprietor of a sop house located on Cularin. While on Ralltiir, Vareesa formed friendships with Kikow, another Ithorian, and Furellas, a Wookiee; however, it seemed that each of them had secret intentions. Furellas purchased a baby Ralltiir tiger for Vareesa, and assisted in smuggling it away from the planet. Vareesa gave the kitten the name "Little Kikow," without realizing that it would mature into a ferocious and uncontrollable beast.
