Friielan was a half Theelin who lived during the High Republic Era. They lost their immediate family when the Nihil pirates attacked the Republic Fair on^[1] the Outer Rim planet^[2] Valo in 231 BBY,^[3] and it caused them to develop a warm but sharply focused demeanor.^[1] In 228 BBY,^[4] they were partnered with Jedi Master Avar Kriss to undertake missions across the Nihil's Stormwall barrier that prevented hyperspace travel, using the Sunvale device.^[1]

Later, after the Republic and Jedi Order liberated^[1] the Mid Rim^[3] planet Naboo from the Nihil, Friielan informed Kriss that they wanted to remain on Naboo as the world would need pilots, stating it was the will of the Force. Though the Jedi Master did not want anyone to remain in the Nihil's Occlusion Zone, she understood and told Friielan to be careful.^[1]
