Slender and of average size, she has never seemed to have excessive muscle. But, looking is usually skin-deep and has a fair amount of strong muscle underneath her Rutian skin. She sometimes wears traditional Jedi robes, but will wear other garments to match the occasion. As you stare into her eyes she usually has a caring look, yet she can change her gaze to focused and channeled. Her default toward strangers is an plain and somewhat calm look.

Bio:
Pre-Training
On the start of the light season on the planet Ryloth, home of the Twi'leks, Skyla was born. Her mother died at her birth, she never knew her. Her father was the one who was force sensitive, passing on the powers to his daughter. Even at her young age, her own Father could feel that she would become more powerful than him through the force. Her father Adon Kraal used to be a jedi himself, but turned into a grey jedi after he decided to leave the order and took refuge in the cites of Ryloth. His choice in the matter were that he found the beliefs of the Jedi restricting as to restricting ones self in emotions, as sometimes they can be useful, yet he believed in resisting the dark side. His final decision to leave as far as she was told was because of her mother. He told her that while he was on Coruscant her mother found him in critical condition after he was intervening with an anti-Jedi sentiment and things got violent. He was overwhelmed from the group and was left on the ground bleeding. Was it luck or the force that brought her to find him, and led them to grow and love each other? He did say he left the order honorably and told the council of this and by doing so, offically ended his time with the order. After that could not seem to get any more information from her father, and at that young age, didn't pry.
While she learned her species language as well as galactic basic at age three, Skyla's powers also manifested themselves in a way, but only after he father showed her the trick himself and helped her lift the little toy, and this of course was difficult because she was only three. This did not stop her from trying when she could, and it did lift every so slightly, not much, but slightly. She gained a pretty good speaking range fairly soon, faster than expected, no doubt from the force. But, at the age of four her father felt it would be a good time to call the order, he knew that she could learn more there then with him, and grow to be better. Even if it pained him to see his child go. His mixed emotions led to self-doubt in himself, and he really didn't hide that doubt from Skyla. This worried the little one about the jedi and about her father, she gained some of his doubt about the jedi coming.
When the Ryloth Watchmen arrived near their home, her Father Swallowed his own emotions to let the Watchmen do his job. She wasn't scared when the stranger came into the house, but the doubt was evident and she stepped back a little. She only did move away because she assumed he was the jedi from what her father discribed. He asked her to hold out her arm, she rought herself to do so, then he took a sample of her blood. She felt the slight pinch, but didn't wince. Once he was done she went off to go outside around the house and do something to occupy her mind.
The Watchmen was surprised at the Midi-chlorian count when it came back. It matched some of the great Jedi masters. The Watchmen came to meet her that night. A simple question was asked to her "Do you want to become a Jedi?", he asked. She thought about this. She didn't want to leave her dad, he had been a jedi and left the order. But, she didn't think that her father would have contacted the jedi if he was sure she shouldn't go. She answered simply after those thoughts. "Yes". She remembered the last view of Ryloth she had as she boarded the unfamiliar shuttle to Coruscant. She wondered if she would visit her home planet again, inside her she certainly hope so.
She could really guess her father's feelings from his face. It could be described is pride, happiness, pain, and a slight loneliness. Yet, she felt somewhere that he would be okay, it was her own little guess at the time. But, it helped her be okay with leaving and moving on to the jedi order on Coruscant.
When she arrived on Coruscant she wondered how many beings were all on that planet-wide metropolis. She moved a bit faster to match her pace with the Watchmen. She met up with the class of other younglings and changed quickly to the robes of the Jedi Order, as well as using her name in basic, Skyla Kraal. For seven years, she studied the ways of the Jedi. Skyla did not have the ease of natural saber skill from the start as some did, or signs of force focus that other younglings had. But, she preferred the saber exercises to most other classes, those lessons seemed slightly easier. Besides that, she still knew that she had something that moved her a bit out of the way of others.
Her closer friend was someone who was also destined to be a Sentinel. His name was Nico Delso, who was a human boy. He often would practice with her when they could, and more importantly he was one of the first to greet her, and befriend her. They often wondered who their masters would be, or just of their plain future. She didn't think that she was someone who was hard to get along with, and tried her best to seem kind. Yet, she was always a bit stubborn in her beliefs, and would not sway on them. With some teachers, she seemed a bit resistant to beliefs at first, but the couple teachers that thought this were careful not to tell her this. They recognized that her father left the order and took some note of it as a likely reason for her early resistance. Even if no one was told, Nico was still her best and only friend at that point in time.
When the time came for a tournament to view the youngling’s potential she was eleven, and she hoped that she would be chosen to become a padawan. She felt confident this time as if she knew this was the right time to do this.
She went into the matches with a glint of determination in her eye. She pushed through her first match, she was the overall winner of that bout. She moved on forward, she had a slightly easier time the next match, dueling one who would become a Jedi Consular and was not as proficient with a blade at the time. This caught the attention of her soon to be master. She went by the name off Aris Silvas a human female; she was a Sentinel herself and could see this Skyla had the potential to be a Sentinel as well. She did not decide to take her on at that time, so she waited. The last match she had was unfortunately against her friend Nico. She didn't want to fight him, but he was her match and she would duel.
The lightsabers flashed back and forth, and the match ebbing her strength away, you could see physical signs of her fatigue. They pushed back and forth. Neither gained the upper hand, in the end it was called a tie because neither youngling could duel any longer. In the next day, she was informed that she was now a padawan to Jedi Knight Aris Silvas. But, her friend Nico would not become a padawan until a year later.
She remembered seeing her master that day. She was a bit of a stranger to her; her master had longer caramel hair that was tied up so it would not bother her when she needed to move. She stood with a slightly relaxed but straight posture, and from head to toe, she stood at "5'6". A single yellow lightsaber was clipped to her master's belt, which was still her original lightsaber her master had created as a padawan. Her master instructed her first in the fighting style of Soresu. The philosophy of Soresu was described as "being within the eye of the storm." The user maintained a centered frame of concentration, undisrupted by the conflict around them. This just clicked in her mind; she went through the motions with her master. She learned that though Soresu was great form, her master reminded her that she must also learn other forms so she had a mixture to duel with. After studying a fair amount that took a standard year, she traveled with her master to Ilum. She went there to make her first lightsaber. While doing so she was very precise with her movements. Each piece she handled with care, and the end result after two months was an brilliant blue blade that reached the standard one meter.
For about nine years Master and Padawan carried out missions for the council and for the good of the republic. She lost count of how many times they had saved each other's neck. Her lightsaber helped her survive certain situations that without it she could not have done, this was similar with the force, aiding her. Over the course of those years she had broadened her lightsaber forms, progressing well with Soresu, and attempting to learn Ataru. Though because of her natural preference for the defensive form, she did take it upon herself to learn the basics of Niman to balance out her skills. In her training she had found that she has a natural ability with shatter point, the ability to influence break points in what would seem unbreakable. She trained this ability with another master because Aris had no ability with shatterpoint. She also learned a little of how to apply this to combat and see flaws in techniques. This ability was of great use for many reasons, but taking this too far could lead her to great trouble which she would be careful to control.
Through out the training she had never thought she would see so many worlds. She found that one act of good will can change one's entire future, and how they view the galaxy. The way of the light touched her heart, and the way a single Jedi could make all the difference needed to help an entire world. It was truly inspiring.
Once she found that her friend Nico and his master had gone missing-in-action in a mission to find a growing source of dark taint on Felcuia, the jungle world between Rhen Var and the Colunda Sector. She felt a sick feeling in her stomach. Felucia was primal, and a wild side of the force is present there at all times. With this side of the force it influenced all the creatures and plants which make the planet dangerous, even more so now with the spike in darkness. She acknowledged the possibility that they were devoured by the life forms there. But, she and her master embarked on the mission anyway.
Skyla and her Master took a republic shuttle to travel over Felcuia. They took the shuttle down over Felucia, above the planet’s surface, she felt the wild energy from down below. It took a bit to find a suitable spot to land, but they found a large enough clearing and landed. They made sure to prepare the ships defenses to protect the shuttle from unfriendly others.
Moving across the floor of Feluica neither she nor her master drew their lightsabers unless needed. Their senses alerted to the changing environment. A hostile Ackley deiced it would make the two Jedi its meal. They had no intention of letting it do so, they moved around it, attacking the legs while moving away from its claws. Jedi and Ackley moved back and forth. But, the Ackley moved its legs in just the right way for Skyla. Seeing a weakness as a leg opened, Skyla rolled under it, first deactivated her lightsaber to roll quickly, and as she came directly under she reactivated the blade and stabbed straight up and twisted. The beast cried out and died, falling down on its side.
The jedi had a bit of tough time with the ackley so after they were drained a bit. They waited a bit to get their strength back, then continued moving forward with caution. She wondered why there had no confrontations with Felaucians, maybe they were avoiding them. She didn't know for sure. As they came upon a second clearing they reached the center of the dark side of the force, she immediately got a sense of danger. This is where the Dark Jedi was generating the disturbance, and she felt that Nico was there, as well as a few other life forms. She was pretty sure that her master had the same sense. When the pair entered the area and was intercepted by two felcians and the Dark Jedi himself. "Hello Jedi.", he said. The Dark Jedi was a male Trandoshan, he wore dark robes and two lightsabers were on either side of his belt. "Welcome to Felcuia, I might guess you’re here for him.", he commented while directing her to what she saw. There was a stone-like table with her friend Nico binded with his hands above his head and his legs at the bottom. He was unconscious and obviously subjected to torture with bags under his eyes. The whole picture made her stomach turn to acid, she was horrified.
The Trandoshan must have savored her pain it as a maniacal grin came across his face. She felt rage surge up inside her, how could he do this to her friend? The one who helped her when she was a youngling. She took a breath and calmed herself, this was not the Jedi way. There is no emotion; there is peace , she thought to herself. She pulled out and ignited her lightsaber, as did her master. But, the embers of hate were still somewhere in her being. "Can we say please and you'll let him go?", she said a bit sarcastically. His face turned a bit more serious. "My guess is no Padawan", her master said. Then the fight began, the Felucians came first, but in a few strokes both were killed. Then the real fight began. Both Master and Apprentice took on the Dark Jedi. He seemed to be using a combination of Makashi, Jar'Kai, Shein user from what she could guess by his attacks and defenses. His two twin crimson blades flashed in each hand, between battling Apprentice and Master. The battle moved fast, he was certainly of considerable skill, that of no doubt in her mind. Neither the Jedi or the Dark Jedi gained much of an advantage. The fight had her moving from Ataru to Soresu and back again. She received at numerous cuts to her arms and legs, but none were worse then a slightly shallow injury. The fight came to an immediate end when her master received a deeper cut to the leg, making her fall. The Dark Jedi took advantage of this and force pushed her a distance of six meters. The shock from the hit put her in a dazed state. Skyla was left alone, and she could sense that she could not possible hold this Dark Jedi For long. He was much stronger and more experienced, but she had to try. She moved around him to survive, using the Ataru acrobatic skills she learned, and using the area around her to her advantage. Yet, the only way she survived overall was because she saw a shatterpoint in his technique. She took the opportunity and cut one of his lightsabers in half and sent the other one flying off into the bushes. She felt his surprise that she had done this, and to her she only knew it was all do to her split second weakness spot. His surprise also let her get him down to the ground with a force reinforced kick.
When she had him on the ground, lightsaber point straight at him, her first thought was that she should kill him. He deserved to die. But, her thoughts changed, would Nico, her Master, her Father, would they want her to take this action? She deactivated her lightsaber. "I will not kill you", she said. His eyes changed to fury. "Your too weak to kill me Padawan, you never could have. Your lucky shot was all for nothing.", he spat at her. "Your friend died in vain you cannot killed his murderer", he mocked her. "No", she said not even looking at him. "I'm strong enough not to."
The Dark Jedi force pulled one of his lightsabers from a distance, activating it, and took a leap at her, the move was sloppy and one that was done without thinking. She felt it and reactivating her lightsaber she blocked it, and as he landed she saw yet one more opening so she cut his stomach deep enough for him to die. She was certain , and she felt sorry for him. She wished it could have been prevented but she moved on. She returned to where her master was and found that she had awoken, and awaited her. She went to where Nico remained and pulled him from the clamps, and with the help of her master, made and burned him in a funeral pyre. She and her master searched through the planet with the force, trying to find Nico's master. But, he was not there; chances are she became one with the force which is the only way they could think of. She hoped this is what occurred. She and her master found their way back to the transport and returned to Coruscant.
She found that she had been given a trial of both skill and flesh at the same time. It was horrible but finished. The report to the council on the mission was an unhappy time for Skyla. Giving the account of her friend's death gave her a pang in her stomach, but she pushed it away. After that, she continued on several missions with her master. She would soon experience her next trial on Malastare.
She was dispatched with her Master to the planet as to respond to a call for help. When they arrived they found that the call originated from the watchman who was now dead. The pair had to examine the dead body, the wound was a straights stab threw his abdomen and apparently entered from the back. It was that wound that killed him which had him bleed out; this observation was confirmed by medical specialist in the city. She pondered this thought for a long time, she was not sure of the motive to kill this watchman. She and her master stayed on this planet for about two standard weeks before discovering the murderers, but it was not by info, it was by being ambushed themselves.
They came in only a group of three, but from their stance, movement, you could tell of their skill. Back to back the pair activated their lightsabers; their enemies had no use for words and immediately moved in and attacked them. She held her side, but she felt her master falter, something had happened. She saw her collapse, but she had no time to look at her master for at that moment all three of the warriors were attacking her. She moved at a faster pace than she did before, she used the Force Valor technique out of instinct to defend her master and defeat the attackers. Along with this she used her developing shatter point to break the armor of one of the attackers with a swift strike in the right location. She eventually had no choice but to kill them as they would not be held down. She moved back to her master, who was unconscious, she used what healing powers to sense what was wrong with her system. She felt that some sort of poison was coursing through her veins. She could only slow the process of the poison; this was extremely difficult for her because she did not dedicate much time to healing. She felt it slowly draining her strength, she held her long enough to reach medics to give her master more practical dose of help. Once her master was in their care, and she recovered some of her strength, she traveled to the station where the city's government as corrupt as it was captured the bodies for her look over. They were of three different species, but there was no identification on them so she could not decide on why they attacked them. She could tell however that from their ambush of them was coordinated with them working together. After this she and her master left the planet and traveled back to the Jedi Temple to report on this.
Traveling back to the temple she had to give part of the report because her master was incapacitated for part of the time due to the poison’s effects, and could not give the entire picture. She was commend for her fight agents those three skilled warriors and was a sign that she had passed her trial of courage. After this report she traveled to the Jedi Archives and found information in that burst of strength she felt. By her search she found that this technique was called Force Valor, and she could extend it to effect her allies as well. She decided this was another aspect that she would develop specially to use when needed.
Her next trial was of her spirit which she had accidentally traveled deep into her mind while she meditated. She saw a vision of an enemy standing next to her. The enemy was cloaked with his or her hood up. The Sith had a singled bladed lightsaber and held it leisurely as if it felt no danger in leaving its guard slightly down. She moved her blade defensively into a Soresu guard position holding it parallel to her face with her other hand out in an open palm. The cloaked person spoke. ”Why do you still train with the jedi? You have too much potential, and so you waste it here?”, it insulted her. She gave it no answer, but she felt her anger slowly rise. ”So….so weak you are” , it continued. Then it lunged at her, she deflected the first strike with her combat knowledge then the battle inside her mind raged as she battled the cloaked Sith. The battled ended when she was attacked with the force by the Sith. She was held to the wall her saber on the floor, the Sith pulled back it’s hood, reveling not a stranger, but herself. Yet, this was not exactly like she was now, the Twi’lek she saw had slightly eroded appearance with an air of arrogance and power mixed together. She could feel what terrible deeds this person could do, what she might do, and at that point the vision vanished. She was breathing heavily and reached out her hand and her lightsaber returned to it. She clipped it back onto her belt and headed to discuss her vision with her master as to see what it meant for her.
The result of the discussion was that she had gone through her test of spirit at the age of twenty-one. She soon had her knighting ceremony as was tradition custom. She remembered her meditations before the ceremony, and remembering her trials of courage, spirit, flesh, and skill. She also has the distinct memory of the masters at the ceremony and the moment she was declared, Jedi Knight.
When she was made a knight she decided that she might best serve if she was out helping others, from primitive beings on outer rim worlds to bigger problems on huge cities. Big or small, she wouldn't argue going out because she usually asked to take up those missions. She insisted on heading out on missions no matter where they lead, she felt as if she had been from one end of the galaxy to the other. She served at least five years as a knight before thinking about taking on a padawan. When she went to look for a padawan, she had mastered form soresu, been proficient in niman, and near proficient on ataru, and working on mashaki. She didn't find anything that she found stood out, she didn't get any feeling from the force. That was until she came to a youngling nautolan male named Keto Reifit about eleven years of age. He showed clear proficiency with a lightsaber, and she felt something in him that let her know he should be her Padawan.
Their first meeting was an uncertain one as they were just meeting each other, but one could feel that the youngling respected his master. She introduced herself and he did likewise even though she already knew who he was, from the information on him given to her by his teachers. She over a bit of learned that he had a rather fiery mind set, he seemed to be always ready to move and his skill in the terms of acrobatics was already fair. She decided to teach him the pricibals and beggining moves of Ataru first, to fit his acrobatic focus. She found that this helped him calm his active need to move and increase his patients by focusing this form. He would move to build a blue-green lightsaber that he modified to be used underwater because of his Nautolan heritage. She actually thought it was a useful idea, so she modified her own to also be used underwater.
About two years into the training she felt Keto brush with the dark side. He found that his parents were murdered when they stood in the path of a crazed bounty hunter. She felt the flickers of rage swell in him as soon as she delivered the news. She thought as first he might be able to handle this news, but she regretted telling him the news once he confronted her about leaving to hunt down the rouge hunter. She felt that this would do nothing but hurt his path toward becoming a Jedi Knight. He waited, heeded the her advise in not to go, and continued training, but she felt a bit of resentment remaining in him. A year later on a mission to Saleucami, they met up with the same bounty Hunter who murdered Keto's parents. Keto found him while alone in a cantina, where he was gathering information while she was outside, he could only tell it was him because of his force sense. The fact that he supposedly found his parents killed, he chose to goad him into a fight. The bounty hunter, would happily oblige and attack him after her padawan insulted him, even if he didn't know anything about him. Skyla immediately sensed the fight as she was gathering information outside. She rushed in to find her padawan attempting to attack and maim or kill the bounty hunter. But, her padawan was blasted back by a small close range concussion explosive, he was far enough not to be killed, but close enough to be blasted back and was dazed from it. Before the hunter could move in for the kill she moved in and held him at bay swiftly. His tricks did no work on her as it did her padawan, she disarmed him and left him unconscious until the small security forces to pick him up. She moved to her padawan and made sure of his condition, he had wounds that she could heal even though she was still no specialist. But, the the wounds in his mind were something of a different sort. To be unable to handle who killed his parents left him doubting his own abilities, he wondered about seeking easy routs, and making others weak by making his pain theirs. His overconfidence at the beginning when he But, when returning to Couscant she spent time meditating with him in the room of a thousand fountains. Soon he came to terms with his grief, his loss, and continued his training.
She she chose to spend two more years with him than expected to help, he did go on to complete his trials to becoming a Jedi Knight. He seemed to have grown to a high degree in wisdom after his recovery in meditation. She could not help a smile on her face after her padawan was knighted. She learned more of healing wounds of the mind more so then the body, and grew as a wiser teacher from it. Her padawan remains in some close contact with her through occasional conversations and working together from time to time. Approximately half a standard year after her padawan's knighting, she was given the status of Jedi Master at the age of thirty-three, for her service, leadership, and teaching abilities.
Soon after she was promoted to master she decided to take on yet another padawan after a years focus on other studies. But, her new padawan named Caltax Yul, a dark brown Iridonian, was different from her last. He was arrogant, proud, and stubborn, these were his basic qualities that made him up. She was determined to make him a Jedi, even if his qualities were against her. She provided numerous lessons and chances to change his ways. She did teach him somethings such as lightsaber combat, basic force abilities, and diplomacy, yet he vanished from the Jedi temple in his fifth year of training along with two other Jedi padawans. She felt it was strange for him to leave without her sensing it. She guessed from the knowledge that was available at the temple that his and the other two padawan's presence was concealed by something.
She found that her pupil and the other padawans had fallen from the Jedi order a year later. She received a communication from Naboo that was from her padawan. He apparently invited her to the planet to find him to bring him back to the order, but she sensed a trap that was set. She made sure to bring two other Jedi knights, one was a human male, the other a cathar female, when she answered the message. Traveling to Naboo she found that the three padawans were with a dark Jedi, the battle was not long, nor short. During the battle she felt her padawan killed, this pain she felt momentarily, the last padawan standing took advantage and jumped at her. The Cathar female protected her, but the padawan wouldn't give up and wouldn't stop still he killed a Jedi. The Cathar regretted it, but she killed him. Finally, when they cornered the dark Jedi he refused to be captured by what he called "Jedi scum" and killed himself with his own blade. Afterward she went into deep thought on the shuttle back to the Jedi temple, she felt a bit torn inside. She had failed her padawan, he was gone and because he had fallen to the dark side. She could not pin all the blame on the dark jedi who had killed himself, she did not see the signs sooner. She could of intervened, but she didn't. Back at the temple she went into mediation and looked for guidance in the archives. She came to one final conclusion, she had to let go of this connection and move on. It was not quickly done, but she did break off from her old attachment that formed between master and apprentice.
After this she served again by traveling on missions, but also focused on enhancing her Jedi lightsaber technique and learning more of the other forms. Skyla developed other force abilities in her time as a master such as Force Absorb, and working specifically on the body ability which would benefit Force Absorb and her Force Valor. She found some of her interest in Force Absorb from her old padawan, and how she could take the pain, but still turn it into a weapon of light. She worked with a high council member who was one of the few who practiced the power. She started out with remote blasts and worked her way up to more powerful energy.
She also spent some time as temporary lightsaber instructor to younglings when needed. She also studied deeper into the tactics of diplomacy and the art of preventing wars before they can occur. During some of her missions she led teams of Jedi knights and/or masters into combat and reinforced them with her force valor. The success of these missions gave her more experience in leadership, and led her to be more confident leader. She was appointed to the Jedi council at the age of forty-two and has severed them for two years. They originally appointed her because of her leadership on several missions and her understanding of success and failure. Now who knows what lurks for her and the republic, one can only predict.

RP Sample:
Skyla headed back from Naboo, her padawan had just died there as a result of him turning to the dark side and attempting to trap her. The other two Jedi Knights were meditating on those past events in the back of the transport while she sat in the cockpit. She punched in the coordinates for Coruscant, zero, zero, zero. Funny how people thought that the city planet was the center of the galaxy. She sighed inwardly as the transport entered the star streaked lines of hyperspace. The navicomputer would certainly get her and the other knights back to the temple safely. The only thing that still sat in her mind is how her padawan turned to the darkside. Sure he did contain some of the qualities of numerous dark Jedi, but she had tried as hard as she could to make him a knight.
More so to the question, was how did the dark Jedi reach them and corrupt the three padawans. She had a feeling in her stomach that she would not find the answer to that question. But, was it truly her fault or was it the dark jedi's? Had she truly not watched him closely enough that she felt something dark was starting to begin in him? She felt that this failure was something that she would meditate on when she returned back to the Jedi temple.
-----------at the temple....
Skyla sat cross-legged in a meditative trance, she was slightly floating in the air as she looked to her past memories and senses of her padawan Caltax to see where his change began. She searched first through their first year, then the second, and third. She found some bits of influence showing in their forth year together, it was slim. but showing if one payed extremely close attention. It seemed more like a curiosity and underlying emotions at that time, so she disregarded it. Moving on to their last year their was less evidence, he was purposely hiding it. She concluded this was the year he made contact with the Dark Jedi, and learned how to conceal his presence slightly. Yet, she could tell that he was not completely sure and there had to be conflict within himself.
She moved herself slowly out of this trance, and returned to the world around her. She let herself and everything else slowly lower to the ground, she had part of the answer. So he had contacted the Dark Jedi, and I do not believe I have ever driven him astray, she thought. She decided it might be best to look to the archives of some of the Jedi who had fallen prey to the dark sided. She stood up and reached out with the force, pulling her lightsaber to her hand. She then clipped it on to her belt and headed out her door.
When at the archives she turned to the various recordings of the loss of many Jedi. Both from and to the dark side, though she knew that there was no reason for their corruption other then themselves exposing themselves or when the teachers failed. She sighed once more and turned away from the archives. She just had to deal with her failure and move on, she nodded to herself as if to tell herself to do so. She looked around at the rest of the archives and noticed a youngling looking around at the vast collection. She couldn't help a smile, she felt that the loss of her padawan would help her learn for the future and to teach other younglings. Then she noticed the youngling was a bit unsure. So she walked up to the youngling and said, " Youngling do you need help finding something?". ....

Bio:
Pre-Training
On the start of the light season on the planet Ryloth, home of the Twi'leks, Skyla was born. Her mother died at her birth, she never knew her. Her father was the one who was force sensitive, passing on the powers to his daughter. Even at her young age, her own Father could feel that she would become more powerful than him through the force. Her father Adon Kraal used to be a jedi himself, but turned into a grey jedi after he decided to leave the order and took refuge in the cites of Ryloth. His choice in the matter were that he found the beliefs of the Jedi restricting as to restricting ones self in emotions, as sometimes they can be useful, yet he believed in resisting the dark side. His final decision to leave as far as she was told was because of her mother. He told her that while he was on Coruscant her mother found him in critical condition after he was intervening with an anti-Jedi sentiment and things got violent. He was overwhelmed from the group and was left on the ground bleeding. Was it luck or the force that brought her to find him, and led them to grow and love each other? He did say he left the order honorably and told the council of this and by doing so, offically ended his time with the order. After that could not seem to get any more information from her father, and at that young age, didn't pry.
While she learned her species language as well as galactic basic at age three, Skyla's powers also manifested themselves in a way, but only after he father showed her the trick himself and helped her lift the little toy, and this of course was difficult because she was only three. This did not stop her from trying when she could, and it did lift every so slightly, not much, but slightly. She gained a pretty good speaking range fairly soon, faster than expected, no doubt from the force. But, at the age of four her father felt it would be a good time to call the order, he knew that she could learn more there then with him, and grow to be better. Even if it pained him to see his child go. His mixed emotions led to self-doubt in himself, and he really didn't hide that doubt from Skyla. This worried the little one about the jedi and about her father, she gained some of his doubt about the jedi coming.
When the Ryloth Watchmen arrived near their home, her Father Swallowed his own emotions to let the Watchmen do his job. She wasn't scared when the stranger came into the house, but the doubt was evident and she stepped back a little. She only did move away because she assumed he was the jedi from what her father discribed. He asked her to hold out her arm, she rought herself to do so, then he took a sample of her blood. She felt the slight pinch, but didn't wince. Once he was done she went off to go outside around the house and do something to occupy her mind.
The Watchmen was surprised at the Midi-chlorian count when it came back. It matched some of the great Jedi masters. The Watchmen came to meet her that night. A simple question was asked to her "Do you want to become a Jedi?", he asked. She thought about this. She didn't want to leave her dad, he had been a jedi and left the order. But, she didn't think that her father would have contacted the jedi if he was sure she shouldn't go. She answered simply after those thoughts. "Yes". She remembered the last view of Ryloth she had as she boarded the unfamiliar shuttle to Coruscant. She wondered if she would visit her home planet again, inside her she certainly hope so.
She could really guess her father's feelings from his face. It could be described is pride, happiness, pain, and a slight loneliness. Yet, she felt somewhere that he would be okay, it was her own little guess at the time. But, it helped her be okay with leaving and moving on to the jedi order on Coruscant.
Youngling
When she arrived on Coruscant she wondered how many beings were all on that planet-wide metropolis. She moved a bit faster to match her pace with the Watchmen. She met up with the class of other younglings and changed quickly to the robes of the Jedi Order, as well as using her name in basic, Skyla Kraal. For seven years, she studied the ways of the Jedi. Skyla did not have the ease of natural saber skill from the start as some did, or signs of force focus that other younglings had. But, she preferred the saber exercises to most other classes, those lessons seemed slightly easier. Besides that, she still knew that she had something that moved her a bit out of the way of others.
Her closer friend was someone who was also destined to be a Sentinel. His name was Nico Delso, who was a human boy. He often would practice with her when they could, and more importantly he was one of the first to greet her, and befriend her. They often wondered who their masters would be, or just of their plain future. She didn't think that she was someone who was hard to get along with, and tried her best to seem kind. Yet, she was always a bit stubborn in her beliefs, and would not sway on them. With some teachers, she seemed a bit resistant to beliefs at first, but the couple teachers that thought this were careful not to tell her this. They recognized that her father left the order and took some note of it as a likely reason for her early resistance. Even if no one was told, Nico was still her best and only friend at that point in time.
When the time came for a tournament to view the youngling’s potential she was eleven, and she hoped that she would be chosen to become a padawan. She felt confident this time as if she knew this was the right time to do this.
She went into the matches with a glint of determination in her eye. She pushed through her first match, she was the overall winner of that bout. She moved on forward, she had a slightly easier time the next match, dueling one who would become a Jedi Consular and was not as proficient with a blade at the time. This caught the attention of her soon to be master. She went by the name off Aris Silvas a human female; she was a Sentinel herself and could see this Skyla had the potential to be a Sentinel as well. She did not decide to take her on at that time, so she waited. The last match she had was unfortunately against her friend Nico. She didn't want to fight him, but he was her match and she would duel.
The lightsabers flashed back and forth, and the match ebbing her strength away, you could see physical signs of her fatigue. They pushed back and forth. Neither gained the upper hand, in the end it was called a tie because neither youngling could duel any longer. In the next day, she was informed that she was now a padawan to Jedi Knight Aris Silvas. But, her friend Nico would not become a padawan until a year later.
Padawan
She remembered seeing her master that day. She was a bit of a stranger to her; her master had longer caramel hair that was tied up so it would not bother her when she needed to move. She stood with a slightly relaxed but straight posture, and from head to toe, she stood at "5'6". A single yellow lightsaber was clipped to her master's belt, which was still her original lightsaber her master had created as a padawan. Her master instructed her first in the fighting style of Soresu. The philosophy of Soresu was described as "being within the eye of the storm." The user maintained a centered frame of concentration, undisrupted by the conflict around them. This just clicked in her mind; she went through the motions with her master. She learned that though Soresu was great form, her master reminded her that she must also learn other forms so she had a mixture to duel with. After studying a fair amount that took a standard year, she traveled with her master to Ilum. She went there to make her first lightsaber. While doing so she was very precise with her movements. Each piece she handled with care, and the end result after two months was an brilliant blue blade that reached the standard one meter.
For about nine years Master and Padawan carried out missions for the council and for the good of the republic. She lost count of how many times they had saved each other's neck. Her lightsaber helped her survive certain situations that without it she could not have done, this was similar with the force, aiding her. Over the course of those years she had broadened her lightsaber forms, progressing well with Soresu, and attempting to learn Ataru. Though because of her natural preference for the defensive form, she did take it upon herself to learn the basics of Niman to balance out her skills. In her training she had found that she has a natural ability with shatter point, the ability to influence break points in what would seem unbreakable. She trained this ability with another master because Aris had no ability with shatterpoint. She also learned a little of how to apply this to combat and see flaws in techniques. This ability was of great use for many reasons, but taking this too far could lead her to great trouble which she would be careful to control.
Through out the training she had never thought she would see so many worlds. She found that one act of good will can change one's entire future, and how they view the galaxy. The way of the light touched her heart, and the way a single Jedi could make all the difference needed to help an entire world. It was truly inspiring.
Once she found that her friend Nico and his master had gone missing-in-action in a mission to find a growing source of dark taint on Felcuia, the jungle world between Rhen Var and the Colunda Sector. She felt a sick feeling in her stomach. Felucia was primal, and a wild side of the force is present there at all times. With this side of the force it influenced all the creatures and plants which make the planet dangerous, even more so now with the spike in darkness. She acknowledged the possibility that they were devoured by the life forms there. But, she and her master embarked on the mission anyway.
Skyla and her Master took a republic shuttle to travel over Felcuia. They took the shuttle down over Felucia, above the planet’s surface, she felt the wild energy from down below. It took a bit to find a suitable spot to land, but they found a large enough clearing and landed. They made sure to prepare the ships defenses to protect the shuttle from unfriendly others.
Moving across the floor of Feluica neither she nor her master drew their lightsabers unless needed. Their senses alerted to the changing environment. A hostile Ackley deiced it would make the two Jedi its meal. They had no intention of letting it do so, they moved around it, attacking the legs while moving away from its claws. Jedi and Ackley moved back and forth. But, the Ackley moved its legs in just the right way for Skyla. Seeing a weakness as a leg opened, Skyla rolled under it, first deactivated her lightsaber to roll quickly, and as she came directly under she reactivated the blade and stabbed straight up and twisted. The beast cried out and died, falling down on its side.
The jedi had a bit of tough time with the ackley so after they were drained a bit. They waited a bit to get their strength back, then continued moving forward with caution. She wondered why there had no confrontations with Felaucians, maybe they were avoiding them. She didn't know for sure. As they came upon a second clearing they reached the center of the dark side of the force, she immediately got a sense of danger. This is where the Dark Jedi was generating the disturbance, and she felt that Nico was there, as well as a few other life forms. She was pretty sure that her master had the same sense. When the pair entered the area and was intercepted by two felcians and the Dark Jedi himself. "Hello Jedi.", he said. The Dark Jedi was a male Trandoshan, he wore dark robes and two lightsabers were on either side of his belt. "Welcome to Felcuia, I might guess you’re here for him.", he commented while directing her to what she saw. There was a stone-like table with her friend Nico binded with his hands above his head and his legs at the bottom. He was unconscious and obviously subjected to torture with bags under his eyes. The whole picture made her stomach turn to acid, she was horrified.
The Trandoshan must have savored her pain it as a maniacal grin came across his face. She felt rage surge up inside her, how could he do this to her friend? The one who helped her when she was a youngling. She took a breath and calmed herself, this was not the Jedi way. There is no emotion; there is peace , she thought to herself. She pulled out and ignited her lightsaber, as did her master. But, the embers of hate were still somewhere in her being. "Can we say please and you'll let him go?", she said a bit sarcastically. His face turned a bit more serious. "My guess is no Padawan", her master said. Then the fight began, the Felucians came first, but in a few strokes both were killed. Then the real fight began. Both Master and Apprentice took on the Dark Jedi. He seemed to be using a combination of Makashi, Jar'Kai, Shein user from what she could guess by his attacks and defenses. His two twin crimson blades flashed in each hand, between battling Apprentice and Master. The battle moved fast, he was certainly of considerable skill, that of no doubt in her mind. Neither the Jedi or the Dark Jedi gained much of an advantage. The fight had her moving from Ataru to Soresu and back again. She received at numerous cuts to her arms and legs, but none were worse then a slightly shallow injury. The fight came to an immediate end when her master received a deeper cut to the leg, making her fall. The Dark Jedi took advantage of this and force pushed her a distance of six meters. The shock from the hit put her in a dazed state. Skyla was left alone, and she could sense that she could not possible hold this Dark Jedi For long. He was much stronger and more experienced, but she had to try. She moved around him to survive, using the Ataru acrobatic skills she learned, and using the area around her to her advantage. Yet, the only way she survived overall was because she saw a shatterpoint in his technique. She took the opportunity and cut one of his lightsabers in half and sent the other one flying off into the bushes. She felt his surprise that she had done this, and to her she only knew it was all do to her split second weakness spot. His surprise also let her get him down to the ground with a force reinforced kick.
When she had him on the ground, lightsaber point straight at him, her first thought was that she should kill him. He deserved to die. But, her thoughts changed, would Nico, her Master, her Father, would they want her to take this action? She deactivated her lightsaber. "I will not kill you", she said. His eyes changed to fury. "Your too weak to kill me Padawan, you never could have. Your lucky shot was all for nothing.", he spat at her. "Your friend died in vain you cannot killed his murderer", he mocked her. "No", she said not even looking at him. "I'm strong enough not to."
The Dark Jedi force pulled one of his lightsabers from a distance, activating it, and took a leap at her, the move was sloppy and one that was done without thinking. She felt it and reactivating her lightsaber she blocked it, and as he landed she saw yet one more opening so she cut his stomach deep enough for him to die. She was certain , and she felt sorry for him. She wished it could have been prevented but she moved on. She returned to where her master was and found that she had awoken, and awaited her. She went to where Nico remained and pulled him from the clamps, and with the help of her master, made and burned him in a funeral pyre. She and her master searched through the planet with the force, trying to find Nico's master. But, he was not there; chances are she became one with the force which is the only way they could think of. She hoped this is what occurred. She and her master found their way back to the transport and returned to Coruscant.
She found that she had been given a trial of both skill and flesh at the same time. It was horrible but finished. The report to the council on the mission was an unhappy time for Skyla. Giving the account of her friend's death gave her a pang in her stomach, but she pushed it away. After that, she continued on several missions with her master. She would soon experience her next trial on Malastare.
She was dispatched with her Master to the planet as to respond to a call for help. When they arrived they found that the call originated from the watchman who was now dead. The pair had to examine the dead body, the wound was a straights stab threw his abdomen and apparently entered from the back. It was that wound that killed him which had him bleed out; this observation was confirmed by medical specialist in the city. She pondered this thought for a long time, she was not sure of the motive to kill this watchman. She and her master stayed on this planet for about two standard weeks before discovering the murderers, but it was not by info, it was by being ambushed themselves.
They came in only a group of three, but from their stance, movement, you could tell of their skill. Back to back the pair activated their lightsabers; their enemies had no use for words and immediately moved in and attacked them. She held her side, but she felt her master falter, something had happened. She saw her collapse, but she had no time to look at her master for at that moment all three of the warriors were attacking her. She moved at a faster pace than she did before, she used the Force Valor technique out of instinct to defend her master and defeat the attackers. Along with this she used her developing shatter point to break the armor of one of the attackers with a swift strike in the right location. She eventually had no choice but to kill them as they would not be held down. She moved back to her master, who was unconscious, she used what healing powers to sense what was wrong with her system. She felt that some sort of poison was coursing through her veins. She could only slow the process of the poison; this was extremely difficult for her because she did not dedicate much time to healing. She felt it slowly draining her strength, she held her long enough to reach medics to give her master more practical dose of help. Once her master was in their care, and she recovered some of her strength, she traveled to the station where the city's government as corrupt as it was captured the bodies for her look over. They were of three different species, but there was no identification on them so she could not decide on why they attacked them. She could tell however that from their ambush of them was coordinated with them working together. After this she and her master left the planet and traveled back to the Jedi Temple to report on this.
Traveling back to the temple she had to give part of the report because her master was incapacitated for part of the time due to the poison’s effects, and could not give the entire picture. She was commend for her fight agents those three skilled warriors and was a sign that she had passed her trial of courage. After this report she traveled to the Jedi Archives and found information in that burst of strength she felt. By her search she found that this technique was called Force Valor, and she could extend it to effect her allies as well. She decided this was another aspect that she would develop specially to use when needed.
Her next trial was of her spirit which she had accidentally traveled deep into her mind while she meditated. She saw a vision of an enemy standing next to her. The enemy was cloaked with his or her hood up. The Sith had a singled bladed lightsaber and held it leisurely as if it felt no danger in leaving its guard slightly down. She moved her blade defensively into a Soresu guard position holding it parallel to her face with her other hand out in an open palm. The cloaked person spoke. ”Why do you still train with the jedi? You have too much potential, and so you waste it here?”, it insulted her. She gave it no answer, but she felt her anger slowly rise. ”So….so weak you are” , it continued. Then it lunged at her, she deflected the first strike with her combat knowledge then the battle inside her mind raged as she battled the cloaked Sith. The battled ended when she was attacked with the force by the Sith. She was held to the wall her saber on the floor, the Sith pulled back it’s hood, reveling not a stranger, but herself. Yet, this was not exactly like she was now, the Twi’lek she saw had slightly eroded appearance with an air of arrogance and power mixed together. She could feel what terrible deeds this person could do, what she might do, and at that point the vision vanished. She was breathing heavily and reached out her hand and her lightsaber returned to it. She clipped it back onto her belt and headed to discuss her vision with her master as to see what it meant for her.
The result of the discussion was that she had gone through her test of spirit at the age of twenty-one. She soon had her knighting ceremony as was tradition custom. She remembered her meditations before the ceremony, and remembering her trials of courage, spirit, flesh, and skill. She also has the distinct memory of the masters at the ceremony and the moment she was declared, Jedi Knight.
Knight
When she was made a knight she decided that she might best serve if she was out helping others, from primitive beings on outer rim worlds to bigger problems on huge cities. Big or small, she wouldn't argue going out because she usually asked to take up those missions. She insisted on heading out on missions no matter where they lead, she felt as if she had been from one end of the galaxy to the other. She served at least five years as a knight before thinking about taking on a padawan. When she went to look for a padawan, she had mastered form soresu, been proficient in niman, and near proficient on ataru, and working on mashaki. She didn't find anything that she found stood out, she didn't get any feeling from the force. That was until she came to a youngling nautolan male named Keto Reifit about eleven years of age. He showed clear proficiency with a lightsaber, and she felt something in him that let her know he should be her Padawan.
Their first meeting was an uncertain one as they were just meeting each other, but one could feel that the youngling respected his master. She introduced herself and he did likewise even though she already knew who he was, from the information on him given to her by his teachers. She over a bit of learned that he had a rather fiery mind set, he seemed to be always ready to move and his skill in the terms of acrobatics was already fair. She decided to teach him the pricibals and beggining moves of Ataru first, to fit his acrobatic focus. She found that this helped him calm his active need to move and increase his patients by focusing this form. He would move to build a blue-green lightsaber that he modified to be used underwater because of his Nautolan heritage. She actually thought it was a useful idea, so she modified her own to also be used underwater.
About two years into the training she felt Keto brush with the dark side. He found that his parents were murdered when they stood in the path of a crazed bounty hunter. She felt the flickers of rage swell in him as soon as she delivered the news. She thought as first he might be able to handle this news, but she regretted telling him the news once he confronted her about leaving to hunt down the rouge hunter. She felt that this would do nothing but hurt his path toward becoming a Jedi Knight. He waited, heeded the her advise in not to go, and continued training, but she felt a bit of resentment remaining in him. A year later on a mission to Saleucami, they met up with the same bounty Hunter who murdered Keto's parents. Keto found him while alone in a cantina, where he was gathering information while she was outside, he could only tell it was him because of his force sense. The fact that he supposedly found his parents killed, he chose to goad him into a fight. The bounty hunter, would happily oblige and attack him after her padawan insulted him, even if he didn't know anything about him. Skyla immediately sensed the fight as she was gathering information outside. She rushed in to find her padawan attempting to attack and maim or kill the bounty hunter. But, her padawan was blasted back by a small close range concussion explosive, he was far enough not to be killed, but close enough to be blasted back and was dazed from it. Before the hunter could move in for the kill she moved in and held him at bay swiftly. His tricks did no work on her as it did her padawan, she disarmed him and left him unconscious until the small security forces to pick him up. She moved to her padawan and made sure of his condition, he had wounds that she could heal even though she was still no specialist. But, the the wounds in his mind were something of a different sort. To be unable to handle who killed his parents left him doubting his own abilities, he wondered about seeking easy routs, and making others weak by making his pain theirs. His overconfidence at the beginning when he But, when returning to Couscant she spent time meditating with him in the room of a thousand fountains. Soon he came to terms with his grief, his loss, and continued his training.
She she chose to spend two more years with him than expected to help, he did go on to complete his trials to becoming a Jedi Knight. He seemed to have grown to a high degree in wisdom after his recovery in meditation. She could not help a smile on her face after her padawan was knighted. She learned more of healing wounds of the mind more so then the body, and grew as a wiser teacher from it. Her padawan remains in some close contact with her through occasional conversations and working together from time to time. Approximately half a standard year after her padawan's knighting, she was given the status of Jedi Master at the age of thirty-three, for her service, leadership, and teaching abilities.
Master
Soon after she was promoted to master she decided to take on yet another padawan after a years focus on other studies. But, her new padawan named Caltax Yul, a dark brown Iridonian, was different from her last. He was arrogant, proud, and stubborn, these were his basic qualities that made him up. She was determined to make him a Jedi, even if his qualities were against her. She provided numerous lessons and chances to change his ways. She did teach him somethings such as lightsaber combat, basic force abilities, and diplomacy, yet he vanished from the Jedi temple in his fifth year of training along with two other Jedi padawans. She felt it was strange for him to leave without her sensing it. She guessed from the knowledge that was available at the temple that his and the other two padawan's presence was concealed by something.
She found that her pupil and the other padawans had fallen from the Jedi order a year later. She received a communication from Naboo that was from her padawan. He apparently invited her to the planet to find him to bring him back to the order, but she sensed a trap that was set. She made sure to bring two other Jedi knights, one was a human male, the other a cathar female, when she answered the message. Traveling to Naboo she found that the three padawans were with a dark Jedi, the battle was not long, nor short. During the battle she felt her padawan killed, this pain she felt momentarily, the last padawan standing took advantage and jumped at her. The Cathar female protected her, but the padawan wouldn't give up and wouldn't stop still he killed a Jedi. The Cathar regretted it, but she killed him. Finally, when they cornered the dark Jedi he refused to be captured by what he called "Jedi scum" and killed himself with his own blade. Afterward she went into deep thought on the shuttle back to the Jedi temple, she felt a bit torn inside. She had failed her padawan, he was gone and because he had fallen to the dark side. She could not pin all the blame on the dark jedi who had killed himself, she did not see the signs sooner. She could of intervened, but she didn't. Back at the temple she went into mediation and looked for guidance in the archives. She came to one final conclusion, she had to let go of this connection and move on. It was not quickly done, but she did break off from her old attachment that formed between master and apprentice.
After this she served again by traveling on missions, but also focused on enhancing her Jedi lightsaber technique and learning more of the other forms. Skyla developed other force abilities in her time as a master such as Force Absorb, and working specifically on the body ability which would benefit Force Absorb and her Force Valor. She found some of her interest in Force Absorb from her old padawan, and how she could take the pain, but still turn it into a weapon of light. She worked with a high council member who was one of the few who practiced the power. She started out with remote blasts and worked her way up to more powerful energy.
She also spent some time as temporary lightsaber instructor to younglings when needed. She also studied deeper into the tactics of diplomacy and the art of preventing wars before they can occur. During some of her missions she led teams of Jedi knights and/or masters into combat and reinforced them with her force valor. The success of these missions gave her more experience in leadership, and led her to be more confident leader. She was appointed to the Jedi council at the age of forty-two and has severed them for two years. They originally appointed her because of her leadership on several missions and her understanding of success and failure. Now who knows what lurks for her and the republic, one can only predict.

RP Sample:
Skyla headed back from Naboo, her padawan had just died there as a result of him turning to the dark side and attempting to trap her. The other two Jedi Knights were meditating on those past events in the back of the transport while she sat in the cockpit. She punched in the coordinates for Coruscant, zero, zero, zero. Funny how people thought that the city planet was the center of the galaxy. She sighed inwardly as the transport entered the star streaked lines of hyperspace. The navicomputer would certainly get her and the other knights back to the temple safely. The only thing that still sat in her mind is how her padawan turned to the darkside. Sure he did contain some of the qualities of numerous dark Jedi, but she had tried as hard as she could to make him a knight.
More so to the question, was how did the dark Jedi reach them and corrupt the three padawans. She had a feeling in her stomach that she would not find the answer to that question. But, was it truly her fault or was it the dark jedi's? Had she truly not watched him closely enough that she felt something dark was starting to begin in him? She felt that this failure was something that she would meditate on when she returned back to the Jedi temple.
-----------at the temple....
Skyla sat cross-legged in a meditative trance, she was slightly floating in the air as she looked to her past memories and senses of her padawan Caltax to see where his change began. She searched first through their first year, then the second, and third. She found some bits of influence showing in their forth year together, it was slim. but showing if one payed extremely close attention. It seemed more like a curiosity and underlying emotions at that time, so she disregarded it. Moving on to their last year their was less evidence, he was purposely hiding it. She concluded this was the year he made contact with the Dark Jedi, and learned how to conceal his presence slightly. Yet, she could tell that he was not completely sure and there had to be conflict within himself.
She moved herself slowly out of this trance, and returned to the world around her. She let herself and everything else slowly lower to the ground, she had part of the answer. So he had contacted the Dark Jedi, and I do not believe I have ever driven him astray, she thought. She decided it might be best to look to the archives of some of the Jedi who had fallen prey to the dark sided. She stood up and reached out with the force, pulling her lightsaber to her hand. She then clipped it on to her belt and headed out her door.
When at the archives she turned to the various recordings of the loss of many Jedi. Both from and to the dark side, though she knew that there was no reason for their corruption other then themselves exposing themselves or when the teachers failed. She sighed once more and turned away from the archives. She just had to deal with her failure and move on, she nodded to herself as if to tell herself to do so.
