[edit] History

[edit] Early Life

Jessari was raised in a small village in the mountains of Skye. From an early age, she was able to use the Force to speed the healing of those around her. This skill made her useful whenever someone in the village was sick or injured.

She also had a love for children, and this led her to take a job in the village nursery, which also doubled as a daycare. The nursery cared for young S'kytri children, and also unhatched S'kytri eggs when the parents weren't able to watch them.

Then, when Jessari was in her mid-twenties, a trio of Sith attacked her village. When she ran to protect the nursery, she found one of the Sith , Mikhael Kosovich, waiting for her surrounded by the dead bodies of those she had cared for. She attacked him, but he overpowered her and raped her. This left her grieving, and also pregnant.

[edit] The Jedi Way

When she discovered she was pregnant, Jessari left for the Jedi Temple on Naboo. She hadn't been able to protect the younglings in the nursery, but she swore that she'd train and protect her own children once they were born.

Shortly after arriving on Naboo, Jessari met Jedi Master Spark Vallen who took her as a student, and even helped deliver her children, the twins Chase Tanelorn and Kaliska Tanelorn. Spark trained her in the use of the Force and the beliefs of the Jedi. When the time came, Jessari became a Knight.

[edit] The Seige of Naboo

Shortly before Jessari became a Knight, the Sith Council attacked Naboo. After a battle that left much of Theed in ruins, the Jedi were forced to surrender. Jessari's children were held with the rest of the younglings to ensure her good behavior, and she was placed in a team of carefully-watched healers to tend to the wounded, both Jedi and Sith.

The seperation from her children, combined with the feeling of being caged, wore her down quickly. Her race had been born to fly free, and any form of captivity quickly broke their spirit. While tending a Sith soldier with a chest wound, Jessari snapped, twisting her healing powers to worsen the injury. She realized what she had done in enough time to repair the damage, but for a long time after that, she couldn't use her healing powers without severe flashbacks. Even now, healing takes more energy from her than it used to.

When the time came, the Jedi organized an uprising against the Sith. Using a fallen Sith's saber, Jessari fought alongside Metran Seamus, a Jedi Knight she grew close to in the passing months.

[edit] Knighthood

As a Knight, Jessari supports the Jedi Council whole-heartedly, going on as many missions as possible. She has trained a handful of Padawans, but only one, Katarinah Ryah, graduated to Knighthood.

[edit] Profile

[edit] Appearance

Jessari is tall and slender, her bones light to make flight possible. Due to her S'kytri heritage, she possesses a pair of thin-skinned wings. Her skin is a delicate shade of porcelain white, and the rest of her appearance is human.

During her first few months, she wore black clothing to signify her mourning for the deaths on S'kytri. Since then, she has moved past the mourning period and wears moderately-colored clothing.

[edit] Personality

While on Skye, Jessari was carefree and energetic, a winner with the children she cared for. But the massacre there, and the touch of darkness she experienced during the Sith occupation of Naboo, her personality has become a bit more moody. She still possesses a large heart, though, and will do anything she can to put people at ease.

[edit] Abilities

Although she is proficient in most of the Jedi abilities, Jessari lacks a bit in the area of empathy. She is decent with a lightsaber. Her main skills lie in healing, and she receives the occasional vision. Because of her S'kytri heritage, she can fly. She also bakes great cookies, but that isn't Force-related at all.

[edit] Weapons

A pink lightsaber. She obtained the crystal for this in a cave on Dagobah.

A blue lightsaber. She found this among her grandmother's possessions shortly before becoming a Master. This has become her primary weapon.

[edit] Ship

A B-wing christened The Maiden's Hand, after a legendary figure in her village's history.
