According to the LU, she was in Jabba’s palace during this time.  I haven’t actually read the relevant book, so I don’t know what she was doing there – I’m assuming not ‘looking for statues of equine princesses’.

She was in my original notes as ‘Jade Mare’ and wasn’t a changeling back then.  Both the name and species change were occasioned by recalling the scene in the Thrawn trilogy (I think it was the second book, but it’s been forever since I read it so I’m not sure) when Luke and Mara swap surnames temporarily because the people Luke is trying to hoodwink only know their last names, not their genders.  Her personality is based on that earlier, far more antagonistic version of Mara, who totally would threaten to eat someone if she were physically capable of it.

At this point, I’ve become somewhat fast and loose with my determination not to upstage film characters – I figure in this case because she’s on her way to a movie scene rather than actually being in it, it’s OK to put “Boushh” in the background.
