Nassira Priestly was born to Salif and Awa Diaby in the bustling city of Sundiata on Mephout in 866 ABY, a time of significant change as the First Order was withdrawing from the galactic stage. Growing up amidst the remnants of the past, Nassira's formative years were colored by the vibrancy of her home planet. Her family, respected merchants in the Musa Economic Plaza, exposed her to the diverse tapestry of cultures and ideas that flowed through the marketplace. Her love for the arts, nurtured by her family, led her to attend numerous shows, concerts, and plays at the Agbaje Amphitheater, instilling in her a deep appreciation for creativity and expression. Here she developed a deep sense of empathy, a trait that would serve her well in the future.
Nassira embarked on her academic journey at Sundiata University, where her keen intellect and determination shone brightly. It was at this venerable institution that fate intervened, bringing her into the orbit of Kelora Priestly, a respected diplomat working with the fledgling Commonwealth.

As their conversations deepened, they discovered shared dreams of unity, equality, and prosperity for their worlds, igniting a spark that would evolve into a profound connection.
Over the ensuing years, Nassira's friendship with Kelora blossomed into a profound love, grounded in mutual respect and shared aspirations. Kelora's diplomatic missions often brought her back to Sundiata, and with each return, their bond strengthened.

The following year, they celebrated their union with two joyous ceremonies, one on Dosuun and the other on Mephout, paying homage to the rich cultural heritage that both Nassira and Kelora cherished.
During this period of love and commitment, Kelora ascended the throne, assuming the mantle of leadership for the Dosuunian Commonwealth of Nations.
