Once gamers reach a certain trigger in Bastila's back story, concerning her family, this character appears in one of the five worlds' spaceports: Dantooine, Tatooine, Kashyyyk, Manaan, or Korriban. Pretty much, this side quest helps gamers learn more about Bastila and her past.
Malare: a female Twi'lek, who was once employed as governess to Bastila Shan.
As such was the case, Malare's employment was over when the Jedi Order intervened. Bastila was given to the Jedi without question or ban.
Little did Malare know of Bastila's expedition years later, but instead had a message for the young Jedi Padawan. Malare's message deserved more than the quarter.
Answer was truthful, for Malare informed Bastila of her mother Helena Shan, who was ill and attempting to locate her daughter.
Receiving the message was enough for Bastila to ask the Twi'lek where her mother was found, and to calm her.
Easier said than done, Malare told Bastila her mother waited at Anchorhead on the planet, Tatooine. Malare parted ways with Bastila, but whether they would meet again was a matter deserved.
