Early Life
Kentell Leknar was a Jedi Master and leading member of the Jedi counsel on corasont. Leknar was half human half Iktotchi; her home world was Iktotch, the neighboring moon of Iktotchon. Because the union of her parents caused a rift within her father’s clan, Leknar’s parents took her far away from their ancestral community of ubarack, and journeyed deep into the Bechknar wilderness, and there they raised her. At a very young age Leknar displayed remarkable abilities in telekinesis, far superior to that of a pure blood Iktotchi, she also shared the Iktotchis brute strength. Yet due to being partly human she also possessed a heightened form of agility, and although this might have be seen partly as a natural occurrence caused by interspecies breeding, her level of physical adaption, mind control, and ability to sense detailed future events made it hard for her parents not to notice her strong connection with the force. When Leknar was still very young she began having multiple dreams about an individual who would come to take her away from her parents, although these dreams disturbed Leknar, what confused her most was that in her dreams she was the one calling out to this illusive figure. As each dream became more frequent, Leknar strangely became more calm, feeling at ease with the peculiar visions. The last of the dreams Leknar experienced, she left her body and for a period of time traveled though different star systems. During this vision Leknar felt a strong urge to permanently leave her home world of Iktotch to join a much larger community on a far off planet; this community would help make sense of her abilities. Just before the conclusion of her vision, Leknar suddenly found herself in her physical body standing beside a robed individual. He looked down at her and simply said “I have sensed you now for quite some time young one, will you come with me and discover your destiny?” when Leknar awoke from the dream she believed that she had actually been communicating with this mysterious person for some time and that he would be arriving to take her soon. Leknar felt not only a strong desire to leave but also, felt somehow a responsibly, but could not fully understand why. It was not long until a small republic transport landed not far from the Iktotchis camp and Leknar’s parents were greeted by a Jedi master named Hariah Vainarh. Master Vainarh explained to Leknar’s parents the reason for his visit, leaving no detail out Vainarh was honest about his desire for Leknar to be trained as a Jedi. Even though Vainarh was confident that the force was guiding the outcome to be in favor of Leknar’s departure, he was nonetheless surprised at the parent’s honest enthusiasm for Leknar to leave. So, leaving her parents behind on Iktotch, Leknar left with Vainarh to begin her training on Courasant.

Training
"Helping someone to discover their own blindness often is more important than giving them back their sight."

- Master Vainarh

During her training at the Jedi counsel on Courasant, Leknar fast became a commendable pupil, excelling at whatever was put before her. Although Leknar was tremendously skilled and naturally talented with her force connection, the one thing that she struggled to control was her empathy. The Iktotchi naturally had the gift of telekinesis but because Leknar’s telepathy was so advanced she was able to not only communicate and read other beings minds she was able to unlock individuals inner turmoil’s and secrets, showing them their truth. This made the desire to repair the brokenness in those around her often agonizing, and upon becoming a padawan this weakness turned to frustration as she felt her ability’s were being restricted by Jedi teaching. This obstacle however was curved and balance was found for the young padawan, with the help of her Jedi master Hariah Vainarh. He help Leknar to see that other beings need not be forced into seeing the error of their ways, with gentle guidance and free will the truth can be found to have more purpose when it is discovered by the one who truly needs to see it.Corron Zenith (Talk) 22:39, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
