Daesha/Legends

"First you hire me to travel halfway across the galaxy from Adarlon for your shoot here, and then you bump me on the schedule so you can shoot some Human tramp instead! I'll have you know I was Shipmate of the Sidereal three cycles running in Flyboy Magazine! What holomag has this schutta ever been in?"

- Daesha, to Meln Gir on Leia Organa

Daesha was a bisexual female Yel'rutian Twi'lek from Saleucami who had a career as a supermodel during the New Republic era. She posed for a Fre'drix of Bespin holoshoot with Princess Leia Organa Solo, pleased to meet the woman who once saved her colony.

Early life and career
"Back in the early days of the Rebellion, you helped save my colony on Saleucami from extortion at the hands of Clan Secura and an Imperial garrison. I've been grateful to you ever since. When you ran for re-election, I recorded an advertisement in Huttese for your Delegationist Party. It was so meaningful to me to be able to do something for the greater good and give back to you, you know?"

- Daesha, to Leia Organa Solo

Daesha hailed from a colony on Saleucami that suffered extortion from Clan Secura and an Imperial garrison until Princess Leia Organa intervened, helping to save the colony. Daesha was grateful to the Rebel ever since. She had both boyfriends and girlfriends, and visited yobanas and nightclubs.

Working as a lingerie supermodel, she had an agent on Adarlon and a Vodran personal aide, and owned a pet chitlik. She was Flyboy Magazine's Shipmate of the Sidereal three cycles running, and recorded an advertisement in Huttese for Leia's Delegationist Party during her run for re-election as Chief of State.

Meeting Organa Solo
"We're going to have you two posed together as intimate female lovers for this shoot. Just enough to titillate the viewer, and just restrained enough not to offend any galactic morality censors."

- Meln Gir, to Daesha and Leia Organa Solo

In 18 ABY, Daesha was hired by Fre'drix of Bespin owner Meln Gir for a holoshoot in Cloud City on Bespin, traveling from Adarlon to attend the shoot. However, she discovered that another model was being photographed instead of her, and stormed into Studio A to confront Gir and his model. Discovering that the starlet was none other than Leia Organa Solo, Daesha changed her tune and gushed praise on her Alderaanian idol. Lando Calrissian suggested photographing both models at once, to which Gir agreed, and Daesha was prepared by Teyma's crew before Leia could interject. Returning in lingerie, Daesha posed with Leia as intimate lovers in a series of bed-bound embraces, even bearing her breasts while Leia massaged her. Impressed, Daesha suggested meeting up at a later date for private fun, though Gir interrupted by ending the shoot and rescheduling Daesha's solo session for the following day. The model agreed to do it for free, pleased at having finally met Organa Solo, and departed back to the dressing room. After Gir had Leia complete one last shoot, Daesha asked her to pose for a clothed hologram, though her non-disclosure agreement with Gir prevented her from showing it until after the catalog had been released. The catalog was eventually released, featuring images of Daesha and Leia, though these photos became rarer than doctored holo fakes of Organa Solo.

Three years after her holoshoot with Leia, Daesha was the Delegationist Party's Public Outreach Ambassador while still working as a supermodel. She convinced Leia that any course of action to drum up votes for her upcoming re-election as Chief of State was valid, citing holoporn producer Cyite Nio's support of her rival Borsk Fey'lya. Leia gave Daesha the go-ahead to lobby the support of the Sex Workers' Guild, the Exotic Entertainers' Union, and lucrative holofilm syndicates for her campaign. The result was the decisive conclusion to the so-called Porn Wars.

Physical appearance and biology
A divinely beautiful Twi'lek of the Yel'rutian race, Daesha had blue skin with silver vein-like patterns on her body and sensitive lekku. A perfectly-sculpted supermodel, she had taut musculature, long, toned legs, and firm, perky breasts that were larger than Leia's, though Organa wondered how real her breasts were. She had a small tattoo of Atrisian glyphs across her lower back.

She wore clothes that were as tacky as only expensively-chic décor could be. For her holoshoot with Leia she sported a black hisp-silk corset and thong set.

Personality and traits
"You're better at this than any yobana I've ever been to. Way better than any boyfriends I've ever had...or girlfriends. You know, if you'd like, I could give you my private comm code. Next time you're on Adarlon or I'm on Coruscant, I can take you to all the most wizard clubs. Then maybe we can have some real fun together."

- Daesha, to Leia Organa Solo

Likened to a living tornado when angry, Daesha was a prima-donna considered to be obnoxious and stuck-up. She demanded the limelight, but her egotism and arrogance disappeared when she met a celebrity she admired, such as Leia Organa Solo, replaced by bubbly enthusiasm and a friendlier, flattering manner that even led to bold flirtation. She claimed it was important for her to do something for the greater good to give back to others, though this amounted to recording an advertisement for Organa Solo's re-election run. She was also capable of complimenting fellow models and accommodating their ideas, though continued to treat crewmembers poorly.

She drank Belsavis vine-coffee and paid numerous visits to yobanas for massages. She liked to have fun, taking both boyfriends and girlfriends, and partied at clubs. She uploaded holograms onto her HoloNet node for her followers to view.

Sexuality
"Daesha seemed to notice you before she left the studio." "I think she more had eyes for you. But who could blame her?"

- Leia Organa Solo and Lando Calrissian

Daesha was bisexual, taking male and female lovers during her lifetime, and was boldly flirtatious and sensual during holoshoots. She could be forward enough to offer her private comlink number to those she was interested in, inviting them to have some fun with her.

Behind the scenes
Daesha first appeared in the 2013 Legends erotic fiction "Leia's Secret", written by Das Flute and Shabby Blue.
