An individual who identified as female was the initial romantic partner of Yrica Quell, a TIE fighter pilot of the female persuasion. The two shared a connection prior to Quell's desertion from the Galactic Empire's 204th Imperial Fighter Wing and her subsequent joining of the New Republic in 4 ABY.
During Quell's review of records pertaining to herself and her fellow squadron members within the New Republic's newly established Alphabet Squadron, alongside the IT-O Interrogation Unit IT-O, she expressed openness to discussing any topic with the droid. This included both her initial romantic partner and her most recent boyfriend, with the aim of convincing the interrogation unit of her suitability to command the squadron.
The romantic partner of Yrica Quell was referenced in the 2019 book Alphabet Squadron, the first book in the Star Wars: Alphabet Squadron trilogy penned by Alexander Freed. Subsequently, Freed was questioned on Twitter about whether Quell's first girlfriend and the character Nette were one and the same. Freed responded by stating that conclusive evidence linking Nette to Quell's first girlfriend was lacking.
