Rosala Cho-Leem

Rosala Cho-Leem was the daughter of Thracia Cho-Leem and Jayo Chev'ris, born in 28 BBY. A year older than her brother, Jayo Cho-Leem, Rosala was both somewhat shy and yet universally liked by those around her. When she was eight years old, she and her family was kidnapped by General Grievous and given to the custody of Count Dooku, who killed her father. Later, they were rescued by the 1337 N00B5.

Early life
Rosala was born on Coruscant, where her father worked as an architect. She occasionally toured the Jedi Temple with her mother, who was a former Jedi Master and was well liked by the Jedi Council. However, she did not receive any formal Jedi training, as her parents did not want to give their children up to the Order.

Rosala attended one of the more reputable public schools on Coruscant, where she outperformed most classmates. She did not, however, push her limits and preferred to spend her time reading than doing schoolwork. Though shy, she had managed to make many friends in her early years. She had an almost bipolar relationship with her brother, ranging from insufferable rivalry to heartfelt affection.

The Clone Wars
Eighteen months into the Clone Wars, as the family was vacationing on Drall, they were forcefully kidnapped by many covert CIS agents and taken to General Grievous. Unarmed and afraid of risking the safety of her children, Thracia Cho-Leem refrained from fighting back, but rather used one of her trademark techniques of strengthening the resolve of those around her. General Grievous planned to use them as bait for a trap for the Jedi, hoping Mace Windu would be the one to lead a rescue mission, but when Count Dooku learned of Grievous's plot, he covered up the Cho-Leems' kidnapping and made it look to the Jedi Order that they were still vacationing.

Dooku took the family into his custody in order to turn Rosala and her brother to the dark side to serve as Dark Alcolytes. There, he brutally killed their father to stir vengeful and fearful feelings in the children, but Thracia Cho-Leem was able to protect their minds with the Force. Nevertheless, the loss of their father did impact Rosala, who was as much a friend to the man as a daughter.

After a couple of hard months as CIS hostages, Rosala and her family were rescued by the 1337 N00B5 over Tatooine. When her mother was told about the Sith Holocron that her former apprentice, Vergere, had purportedly created, they reluctantly joined the 1337 N00B5.

Piracy
As Thracia Cho-Leem reassumed the identity of a Jedi Master for the 1337 N00B5, Rosala was soon apprenticed to her mother. Unlike her Master, Rosala was more skilled in the more visible aspects of the Force, such as telekinesis. She would often spar with her brother with a lightsaber.

Rosala was a witness to several battles of the 1337 N00B5, though she was always kept at a safe distance by her protective mother. It was on Kashyyyk, where the 1337 N00B5 were secretly fighting the CIS, that Order 66 was issued. Horrified by the turn of events that led to the Jedi execution, Rosala harbored a resentment for the Empire afterwards.

After the 1337 N00B5 discovered three Jedi survivors of Order 66 on Mustafar, including a Padawan just a few years older than Rosala, the Jedi program of the 1337 N00B5 was considerably expanded. As Thracia Cho-Leem was concerned for her offspring scattered across the galaxy in the wake of Order 66, Rosala was frequently taught by Sa'Madhi Tatthya, the Jedi Knight that was rescued on Mustafar.

Two years later, on her twelfth birthday, Rosala was permitted to fly in an Eta-2 simulator. As a quick study, she became a skilled pilot and earned the respect of the other cadets easily.

Rosala did not see much combat for the 1337 N00B5 until later on, due to her mother's protectiveness. She did, however, befriend many of the 1337 cadets and boosted the general morale of the 1337 N00B5.

Personality and traits
Rosala was a unique combination of mild timidity and social aptitude. Though her favorite hobby was isolating herself and reading fictional holobooks, she could be amiable in a typical setting, and found that she could easily forge large groups of friends with the less socially inclined and make them each seem popular from the sheer scale of the group. She applied this technique both in her childhood in school and in adolescence with the 1337 cadets.

Rosala was sometimes aggressive in combat, but never attacked unprovoked. Though Kaffman was sometimes wary of the risk of her turning to the dark side, she never did, largely due to the guidance of her mother.

Powers and abilities
Rosala's ability to forge groups and social structures and remain paradoxically in the middle of the gang and in her own world at once was helpful to the military efforts of the 1337 N00B5. She was also rather adept with telekinesis, but she rarely needed to use it in combat.

Rosala, like her brother, had a natural inclination to learn quickly, and was therefore became a skilled pilot in a comparatively short time. Her lightsaber skills were not above average, as she was not able to anticipate moves and strikes as easily as most Jedi.
