Astia Mariano

Astia Mariano was a female Twi'lek fashion model, holoporn star, and prostitute during the eras of the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire. Working for Ishaba and Titty Twister Entertainment on Coruscant, Mariano befriended Dormé during a raunchy shoot, and continued working in the sex industry into the Imperial Era alongside the former handmaiden.

Biography
A female Twi'lek of Ryloth, Astia Mariano was born during the latter decades of the Galactic Republic, and worked as a fashion model for Pior Talbor before finding fame as a notable holoporn star. She operated as a lower-class model for Ishaba, a shady Twi'lek businessman who owned Titty Twister Entertainment on Coruscant, and occasionally worked as a whore.

Mariano encountered the Naboo handmaiden Dormé, and was able to convince the Human to pose nude and join her in a softcore modeling shoot that Astia soon turned raunchy. The Twi'lek introduced Dormé to the pleasures of lekku play during the shoot, and continued working with the girl, who called herself Varina Kaadara, in the adult entertainment industry.

The rise of the Galactic Empire introduced additional dangers to their occupation, but Astia and Varina continued to service their clients expertly, making many happy, and often unwound afterwards by choosing a local girl to invite into a threesome.

Behind the scenes
Astia Mariano first appeared in the Legends erotic fiction "Dormé's New Trick" by MJKA, and was introduced into erotica canon with an entry in Kooriv's The Essential Guide to Erotica Characters.
