Syychi was a Wookiee of the female persuasion, and also an albino. Her height approached 2.4 meters, and she was typically quiet unless angered. As a slave of the Galactic Empire from birth, she was located on the prison planet Vizcarra. The fact that she had never seen the Wookiee homeworld, Kashyyyk, troubled her deeply.
Syychi once shared a cell on a prison transport headed to Vizcarra with Memcha-Badawzi, a young Twi'lek and daughter of crime lord Abdi-Badawzi. Syychi was inspired by the Twi'lek, and together they spearheaded a rebellion among the prisoners, overpowering the ship's crew and enabling everyone to flee. Following their escape, Syychi accompanied Memcha to Neftali, becoming Memcha's second-in-command at Cordel Cove. She often commanded a group of Whiphid security personnel on the planet, whom she readily summoned if she was bothered by anyone causing problems.
The name "Syychi" translates to "quiet" in Old Corellian.
