- "It reeks of Jedi!"
- ―Aktropaw referring to Sabine Wren
Aktropaw was a Dathomirian female Nightsister witch, and one of the Great Mothers who allied with Mitth'raw'nuruodo.[1] In 9 ABY,[4] she and the other Great Mothers, Klothow and Lakesis, welcomed Nightsister Morgan Elsbeth and her forces to the planet Peridea after calling Elsbeth there via her dreams.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Aktropaw first appeared in "Part Six: Far, Far Away," the sixth episode of the Ahsoka television series, portrayed by Jeryl Prescott Gallien. While not identified in the episode, the character's name was given in its credits.[1] In Greek Mythology, the similarly named Atropos was one of three goddesses known as the Fates, the others' names being Clotho and Lachesis, who determined destiny itself. Atropos specifically was the one of the three who cut the threads of destiny and thus determined when an individual died.[5] This is similar to how Aktropaw and the other Great Mothers claimed to be able to read and know the threads of fate and destiny.[1]

[…] From the time of the poet Hesiod (8th century BC) on, however, the Fates were personified as three very old women who spin the threads of human destiny. Their names were Clotho (Spinner), Lachesis (Allotter), and Atropos (Inflexible). Clotho spun the "thread" of human fate, Lachesis dispensed it, and Atropos cut the thread (thus determining the individual's moment of death)." (archived from the original on June 9, 2023)
