Traph is a Rodian born with a second pair of arms at birth. Only the Force knows why, but history suggests the Rodians in the past had extra limbs. Though that history is long lost now. People and her family, though, either saw her mutations and a marvel or an oddity, but Traph found herself adept with her four hands. To her, having an extra pair of arms felt natural to her and made her special. However, these arms painted a target on her back for bullies and kids to tease her. Children mocked and teased her appearance, most hailing from richer clans than her’s. Traph, however, was a clever young girl, and would make traps and tricks to prank her bullies. Embarrassing them around their friends and families until they stopped.

One bully, though, didn't take her prank so well and hunted her down to the docks where Traph waited for her father to return from a hunting expedition in the swamps. Fists flew when they confronted her and pushed Traph into the wetlands below and watched. Rodia is home to many dangerous creatures, and she had to escape the waters before she became a tasty snack. To her luck, her father's boat had arrived after she fell, but before they could save her, something dragged her under the water.

Traph awoke in a hospital, with her parents and a doctor by her bedside. She tried to move her hands to rub her face, but found one of them missing. In the underwater struggle, a creature bit off her lower right arm just below the shoulder before her father jumped in and scared it away. The doctor presented a new cybernetic arm for her, but Traph couldn’t adjust to it. Leaving it off most of her life and only ever using it if she needed it.

As she grew up, she began a pick pocketing career on Rodia and became the best at it. Everyone forgot the Rodian girl with 4 arms, and who’d expect a hidden a third arm in her jacket. Just a bump with her hands holding boxes or in plain sight, while her third hand picked pockets. Over time, though, her ambitions widened as she targeted wealthier targets for their loose change. The sort of targets who rob others for their own gains or pleasures. She soon earned the title 'Three Armed Bandit' when she shot a guard in the knee with a hidden blaster held by her 3rd arm.

But her career picking pockets got her into deep trouble when she robbed the wrong, rich Rodian, and then blasting them in the knee. Needing escape off world before she's caught by a whole clan, she joined a crew looking for an extra hand. Although Traph thought it was weird her new employer was a two headed droid in high heel boots, she took the offer and escaped her home world.

SO I had this pretty character made back in 2020 by the awesome  carnival
If any of you is a big Star Wars nuts, you my be asking "why does she have 4 arms?" Well for one, I'm weird. I like multi limbs, but I'm also a star wars fan as well. And while reading about Rodians, I discovered a little fun fact.

During the original filming of the first movie (the original Star Wars movie) Greedo was originally going to have 4 arms in his scene with Han Solo before being killed by him. It was at the very last minute Lucas decided to have the extra arms removed and given to a different alien. Besides me wanting a excuse to have a 4 armed Rodian, this is a homage to that little behind the scene's reference that could have changed how Rodian's would have looked.

Also, if anyone brings up the suction cup fingers, that's more a personal taste change by me and the artist. I'll be honest, normal Rodian fingers look silly. However, Carnival found a nice in between that makes the fingers look much more pleasant to look at and keeps em lore friendly. (IMO)
