This small blue-skinned species is distinguishable by their large, round eyes, and broad mouths, usually with a wide smile. In canon, the most notable Aleena is Ratts Tyerell, a podracer who competed in the Boonta Eve Classic where Anakin Skywalker gained his freedom.
The Aleena have a rich cultural history with rituals and performances being a central part of their social interaction. They are known for their high-energy, acrobatic movements which they display joyously in their ritualistic dances. They also have a reputation for being mischievous, a characteristic that often leads them into trouble.
