Zorii Bliss
Hidden behind a bronzium-finished helmet and a voice-masking vocoder, Zorii Bliss was the feared leader of the Spice Runners of Kijimi and one of the few people who knew Poe Dameron's past as a criminal. She grew up in the smuggling outfit her mother Zeva ran and fell for Poe when he joined as a teenager. Their relationship fell apart at the Kijimi summit, when he turned down her offer to take the gang over together and walked away. Zorii went on to take control of the Spice Runners herself. Years later, with the First Order occupying Kijimi, she was saving up to escape on a Y-wing she named the Comeuppance. When Poe came back with Rey, Finn, Chewbacca and C-3PO in search of the way to Exegol, she met him at blaster point. Rey's fighting skill won her over, and she took the group to the droidsmith Babu Frik and gave Poe a captain's medallion so he could board a Star Destroyer. She turned down his offer to join the Resistance, but she escaped Kijimi before a Xyston-class Star Destroyer destroyed the planet. She then flew the Comeuppance with Babu Frik at the Battle of Exegol and celebrated the victory on Ajan Kloss, sharing a knowing look with Poe across the crowd.
