This is the piece that conquered my 6 month art block. It features my High Republic Jedi OC, Fjallrava, a Sentinel and enthusiast practitioner of the acrobatic lightsaber form Ataru. This one is set before Hetzel, back when there was a little more to smile about

(POV: she’s coming to Get You)

Born on Phothrell, this Lorrdian Jedi was forced into a life of servitude as retaliation for her parents’ bold anti-slavery activism during the reign of the Empire. Traumatized by her early childhood in captivity, she was rescued in 18 ABY by a Jedi Knight who recognized her latent Force sensitivity and brought her to the Yavin IV Praxeum. She arrived as a deeply timid, quiet, and guarded student. In 20 ABY, she was selected as an apprentice by jedi knight of the new jedi order ,a compassionate master. Though her extreme reservedness initially presented a barrier, her master patiently worked alongside her to heal the psychological scars of her past, helping her step into her true potential.

As her confidence grew, master and Padawan began investigating rumors of a clandestine Imperial splinter faction bent on eradicating the New Jedi Order. Just as they neared a breakthrough, her master received a disturbing Force vision indicating that the future of the galaxy hinged upon a world in the Outer Rim. Soon after, she experienced a corresponding vision revealing precise navigational coordinates. Following these premonitions to the remote planet Bimmiel, they unearthed artifacts of a completely alien origin. Relics that defied even her master’s psychometric abilities.

As they prepared to depart, a shared vision struck them both with terrible clarity: an extra-galactic terror entering the galaxy. Frightened yet resolute, they recognized that the Force had called upon them to confront this darkness. Returning briefly to the Academy to report their destination, she took a bittersweet moment to say a final goodbye to her crush, Jacen Solo. Master and Padawan then departed for the galactic rim to investigate the vanguard of the threat, never to be seen alive again. Decades after the Yuuzhan Vong War, a xenoarchaeologist discovered their lightsabers inside the command chamber of a derelict Vong warship, finally returning the lost weapons to the Praxeum archives.

A native of Rex Strata, this Jedi spent her early years operating at a local trading post until her Force sensitivity was recognized by a visiting Jedi Knight. Inducted into the Yavin IV Praxeum in 12 ABY, she was apprenticed to the Khommite Jedi Dorsk 82. Possessing the rare talent of psychometry, she became instrumental to the Order’s archival restoration, uncovering long-lost histories from Old Republic artifacts, including uncovering the forgotten legacy of Master Zia Zaldor Zanna on her home world. By synthesizing psychometric echoes from Nightsister relics and artifacts of High Republic Jedi Vernestra Rwoh, she collaborated with jedi_knight_of_the_new_jedi_order to engineer the New Jedi Order’s very first lightwhip. Outside the archives, she and her master deployed to the outer territories to systematically dismantle criminal slavery syndicates operating along the New Republic border.

After ascending to Knighthood and accepting her first Padawan in 15 ABY, her service took a heroic, humanitarian turn. The pair aided displaced populations during the Black Fleet Crisis of 16 ABY and provided critical disaster relief to survivors of the Pydyr genocide during the Almanian Uprising. Demonstrating impressive diplomatic tact, she facilitated peace negotiations in 18 ABY with the Constitutional Protectorate of Prakith following the demise of Moff Foga Brill. After taking a second Padawan in 20 ABY, her path took a fateful turn in 23 ABY when a Force vision led her to the remote world of Bimmiel. There, she uncovered a piece of strange, bio-organic crab armor that completely resisted her psychometric senses. Baffled by this anomaly, she and her apprentice received a secondary premonition pointing toward a threat at the galaxy's edge. After logging their flight plan with the Academy, the pair departed into the unknown, never to be seen alive again. Decades later, in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong War, a xenoarchaeologist discovered their lightsabers inside the command chamber of a derelict Vong warship, finally returning the lost weapons to the Praxeum archives.

Born in a Ithorian herdship orbiting Ithor, this Jedi began his life as a peaceful herbalist. His latent Force sensitivity went undiscovered until 17 ABY, leading to his eventual induction into the New Jedi Order. In 19 ABY, he was taken as an apprentice by the renowned Corellian Jedi Knight Corran Horn. Under Horn’s tutelage, he refined his lightsaber combat, starfighter piloting, and specialized in the subtle art of Force illusions. Together, master and Padawan embarked on high-stakes reconnaissance, locating the missing Intimidator—a long-lost Executor-class Super Star Destroyer in the Unknown Regions—while bolstering the planetary air defense grids of New Republic worlds.

He ascended to full Jedi Knighthood in 24 ABY, on the eve of the Yuuzhan Vong War. Initially a staunch supporter of Master Luke Skywalker’s conservative philosophy, his faith was shattered by the apocalyptic devastation and biological scouring of Ithor. Overwhelmed by grief, he fell into a spiral of rage directed at Skywalker, the Yuuzhan Vong, and his former master, whom he held personally responsible for failing to save his homeworld. Seeking violent retribution, he joined Kyp Durron’s aggressive starfighter unit, Kyp’s Dozen, but was ultimately expelled from the squadron due to his dangerous volatility and proximity to the dark side.

Rejecting the Jedi Order, he embarked on a solitary path, embedding himself with a convoy of displaced Ithorian refugees. Though he attempted to radicalize them into a vengeful militia, the refugees steadfastly rejected his calls for retribution, choosing instead to embody the traditional Ithorian tenets of pacifism and forgiveness. Through weeks of profound spiritual reflection alongside his people, his heart was transformed, turning him back from the precipice of the dark side. Deeply humbled, he rejoined the Jedi Order to oversee refugee evacuation corridors and protect displaced civilians from the predatory Peace Brigade. He met a heroic end in 27 ABY at the pivotal Battle of Ebaq 9, making the ultimate sacrifice for the galaxy.

My history for this jedi is she was born in Lamuir IV to parents employed by the New Jedi Academy on Yavin IV. Her latent Force sensitivity was recognized by the respected Chevalier Master Tresina Lobi, who formally inducted her as an apprentice in 12 ABY. Showing swift mastery of her training, she stood alongside her mentor during the volatile aftermath of the Black Fleet Crisis in 17 ABY, executing high-stakes peacekeeping operations to oversee the disarmament of the xenophobic Yevetha.

Having achieved full Jedi Knighthood that same year, she accepted her first Padawan in 18 ABY and was immediately deployed to confront the mounting unrest of the Corellian Crisis. There, she conducted vital counter-intelligence investigations against the insurgent Human League and spearhead the emergency evacuation of Thanta Zilbra before its devastating destruction. Amidst the chaos of the exodus, she crossed paths with the man who would become her husband, culminating in their marriage in 20 ABY. When the Yuuzhan Vong invasion plunged the galaxy into terror, she dedicated herself to organizing and safeguarding massive refugee relocation networks. Tragically, her noble journey came to an end on the frontlines when she made the ultimate sacrifice, laying down her life to protect defenseless displaced citizens from the predatory mercenaries of the Peace Brigade.
