Once a member of the Fallanassi council located on Lucazec, Isela Talsava Norand ultimately betrayed her order by providing information to the Galactic Empire, resulting in her banishment. She is also recognized as the mother of Akanah Norand Goss Pell.
Talsava, as a member of the enigmatic Fallanassi, enjoyed considerable respect and popularity within the group. She married a young man named Joreb Goss, and together they had a daughter, whom they named Akanah.
Though Talsava initially led an idyllic existence, she eventually succumbed to avarice. Driven by a desire for material wealth, she pressured her husband into treasure hunting, and upon his disappearance, she resorted to other means. Coincidentally, the newly formed Galactic Empire was offering rewards for information regarding the Fallanassi's location. Talsava seized this opportunity, selling information to the Imperials, receiving a substantial reward, and intending to live a life of luxury.
Talsava, masking her betrayal, successfully persuaded the Fallanassi leader, Wialu, to resist surrendering to the advancing Imperial forces. However, her deception was soon uncovered. Upon learning of Talsava's treachery, Wialu banished her from the Fallanassi, but offered to train her young daughter. Talsava defiantly refused and fled to Carratos.
Talsava encountered difficulties managing her wealth while residing on Carratos. The planet was rife with criminals and con artists, and she quickly began to question her ability to adequately provide for her daughter. In a final attempt, she contacted the Fallanassi, pleading for their assistance in teaching her daughter the ways of the Fallanassi. Wialu reluctantly agreed and dispatched a Fallanassi woman, Nashira, to assist Talsava in training Akanah.
After some time, Nashira was compelled to leave Talsava and Akanah, returning to the Fallanassi. Talsava's doubts about raising and supporting Akanah soon resurfaced. In a moment of emotional distress, just three years after arriving on Carratos, Talsava used all of their savings to purchase passage off-world, abandoning her fifteen-year-old daughter on the dangerous planet.
Talsava's current whereabouts remain unknown. Years later, Akanah discovered her mother's significant flaws, and it remains uncertain whether she ever reconnected with her.
