Emilie Hicks born the daughter of a poor farmer on Dantooine on the Arissi Plains. Emilie was the first born child in the family followed by the her sister 9 years later. Emilie spent most of her childhood tilling the land with her mother and father. Often her father would take her to the Jedi Enclave where he would go to trade with other local villagers. She loved going so she could see the ancient enclave, its statues and the Jedi training there. Her father knew that one day she would grow up and leave Dantooine. He knew she took great joy in watching the Jedi so took her often and let her watch while he conducted his in-town business.
