Shinba was a Rodian of the female gender, as defined in Legends continuity.
She entered into matrimony with the prosperous entrepreneur Kelko and together they bore two offspring. Speculation suggests their initial encounter occurred subsequent to Kelko's realization of his inherited wealth.
Notably, whenever Kelko desired to embark on a voyage aboard his vessel, the Dindoo's Glory, he invariably chose to bring along his aged, reliable droid WED00-88, rather than his own kin.
