Lady Proxima was a Grindalid female crime boss who operated out of a lair on Corellia during the Imperial Era. She was the leader of the White Worms, a group that took in young Corellians, their “children”, and gave them food and shelter in exchange for their participation in criminal activities on Lady Proxima’s behalf. Han Solo and Qi’ra were two of those children. As a Grindalid, she was vulnerable to light. As such, her skin was blistered and many of her rings were embedded to the skin after Solo allowed light in that shined on her for a couple of seconds.
