Ahsoka Tano (Powerstaark)

Ahsoka Tano was a Togruta Jedi Padawan who was assigned to Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars. Ahsoka was discovered by Jedi Master Plo Koon and was Tom Norton's closest friend. During the Clone Wars Ahsoka and Tom entered a romantic relationship.

Childhood
Ahsoka Tano was discovered by Plo Koon during a mission on Shili. The exact circumstances during which she was discovered is unknown. Although she was three years old at the time, which was normally considered too old to join the Jedi Order, Plo sensed she had the potential to become a very powerful Jedi so he and the rest of the Jedi Council allowed her to join the Jedi Order. Ahsoka became very close to Master Koon considering him to be like a father to her. Though she had vague memories of her mother back on Shili her father had died before she was born.

Ahsoka started her Jedi training at four years old being put into the bear clan. She met fellow Jedi Padawan Tom Norton during her first lesson with Master Yoda and they quickly became very close friends. At some point Ahsoka was bullied by a boy named Abron Stryfe. This contributed to Tom's dislike of Stryfe though he'd never been fond of him in the first place. It also contributed to Ahsoka's own development as she became determined to be able to look after herself.

Ahsoka and Tom did almost everything together. They trained together and sparred often. They liked exploring history archives learning about some of the ancient Jedi and Sith lords such as Darth Bane or Vandare Tokare. They also went swimming in the room of a thousand fountains and once they got in trouble with Saesee Tiin for swimming at night time. Ahsoka and Tom sometimes played pranks on the Jedi Masters. Ahsoka also befriended a nautolan Padawan named Evra Talisman though she was nowhere near as close to him as she was to Tom. She developed a rivalry with a Human girl called Lyra Champ.

Ahsoka watched Tom's first fighting tournament and then joined in the second.where she lost in the first round to Lyra Champ. The year after she defeated Lyra and another Padawan and fought Tom. Tom managed to defeat her but not without considerable effort. Ahsoka saw little of Tom after that as he was busy being trained as a Padawan by Carmen Conrose

Over the next year Ahsoka trained vigorously fighting with some of the best Padawan's in the Temple and defeating most of them. Her skills impressed the Jedi Masters enough for them to promote her to Padawan despite not having won a fighting tournament or been chosen by another Jedi during one of the Temples Choosing Ceremonies. Before becoming the Padawan of Anakin Skywalker Ahsoka was assigned to a Jedi named Jack Kalbone.

Mission on Shili
Ahsoka's first mission happened to be on her home planet Shilli. General Grievous had taken over one of the villages but fortunately the Jedi heard about it before Grievous could spread out his forces. Ahsoka briefly met her mother, Ariana before joining Jack in an attack on a village the droids were using as a base.

During the fight Ahsoka and Jack were forced to duel four magnaguards. Jack defeated his and went after Grievous who he had seen standing beside a hut but not actually fighting. Ahsoka slashed off a magnaguards head but she didn't know that magnaguards could keep fighting even without their heads and was shocked from behind. Ahsoka was almost knocked unconscious by the shock but she was more resilient than she looked and managed to roll out of the way of the magnaguards staffs before they finished her off. She managed to defeat the guards with some help from her clones but once the battle was over they discovered Jack Kalbone's dead body on a landing platform. The Jedi had been killed in a duel with Grievous who had then fled the system knowing that there were too many clone troopers for him to defeat alone. There were few Republic casualties in that battle.

As Ahsoka and the clones headed back to the village where Ahsoka's mother lived they heard screams and roars and saw a vicious Akul thundering through the village. Ahsoka attacked and single-handedly killed the Akul by stabbing it in the brain with her lightsaber. She was awarded an Akul tooth headdress for her achievement and she and her troops spent the night in the village.

The next day Ahsoka said goodbye to her mother and went back to Coruscant.

A couple of days later Ahsoka was reunited with Tom who had unfortunately lost his Master during a duel with Sora Bulq on Falleen. The two Padawans were delighted to see each other and together they went to Christophsis where they would meet their new Masters, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Battle of Christophsis
"There's been a mixup. The Youngling isn't with me.''" "''Stop calling me that. You're stuck with me Skyguy."

- Ahsoka calls Anakin Skyguy for the first time.

When they arrived on Christophsis, Ahsoka and Tom met Anakin and Obi-Wan. Ahsoka became Anakin's Padawan and Tom became Obi-Wan's. However Confederacy General Whorm Loathsom had activated a deflector shield and had his droid army advance behind it, negating the use of cannons. Ahsoka and Anakin tried to figure out how to get inside the shield and destroy the generator while Tom, Obi-Wan and the clones dealt with the droids. Ahsoka and Anakin hid beneath a box and waited till the droids passed before they carefully sneaked in. However, they accidentally bumped into a droideka. Ahsoka was intent on fighting, but Anakin insisted on running. He told her to stop, allowing the chance to slash at the rolling droid as it passed them. When they reached the generator, Ahsoka accidentally tripped a number of sensors, alerting retail droids to their presence. Anakin distracted the droids while Ahsoka planted explosive charges on the generator. One of the droids approached her from behind, but her montrals warned her of its approach and she quickly sliced it in half with her lightsaber.

Unfortunately, the droid's "body" rolled over more sensors, alerting more of the droids. Seeing her Master outnumbered, Ahsoka saw that he and the droids were underneath a wall with a convenient hole in the middle. She used the Force to bring down the wall. Skywalker passed through the hole, while the droids around him were crushed. Ahsoka activated the charges, blowing up the generator, enabling the artillery to finish off the droid legions.

Despite Anakin's initial reluctance to take a Padawan, he and Ahsoka quickly formed a bond, and Yoda wondered whether the responsibility of mentoring a Padawan would actually calm Anakin's wild ways, or if he would simply pass them on to his new charge.

Battle of Teth
After Christophsis, Master and Padawan were dispatched to find and rescue Jabba the Hutt's kidnapped son, whom scouts had located on the planet Teth. The success of their mission was vital to completing negotiations with the gangster for trade routes in the Outer Rim Territories. While they headed to Teth, Anakin showed Ahsoka around the ship and then they had a sparring match which Ahsoka lost. However Anakin was impressed by her skills and told her she had the potential to become very powerful. After their sparring match, Ahsoka asked Anakin how he got his scar and Anakin told her about his duel with Asajj Ventress on Yavin VI.

Upon arriving on Teth, it proved impossible to land at the B'omarr Monastery where the Huttlet was being held, which forced the Republic forces to land at the base of the mesa. The only way to reach the monastery was by scaling the vertical cliff walls. Master and apprentice treated it like a race and began their climb to the top.

Ahsoka got aboard an AT-TE walker, and defended it from dwarf spider droid fire when its gunner was shot. STAPs nearly caused the walker to lose grip, and likely would have succeeded had Anakin not commandeered one of the STAPs to destroy the others. Once at the top, Ahsoka used the AT-TE cannon to save her master from three droidekas.

After securing the Monastery, they discovered a protocol droid designated, who informed them the Huttlet was being held in the dungeons. After dispatching a few battle droids, the Jedi found Rotta, who was found to be just a baby, and whom Ahsoka thought was cute. Unfortunately, while trying to load the Huttlet, whom Ahsoka had nicknamed "Stinky," into a pack, a recording of their actions was taken by 4A-7, who was actually the servant of Dark Acolyte Asajj Ventress. Ventress transmitted the recording to Count Dooku, to convince Jabba that the Jedi had been the ones who kidnapped Rotta.

With an army of droids sent to "retrieve" the Huttlet, the Jedi had to find an alternate way off the planet, as the Huttlet was sick. While captain Rex and his clones stalled the droids, Ahsoka and Anakin encountered Ventress and a group of battle droids in a Rancor pit. Ahsoka easily defeated the droids and then saved her master from Ventress' killing strike. The two Jedi briefly fought the Dark Acolyte until Rotta fell out of Ahsoka's backpack and she was forced to break off her attack to pick him up. Anakin ordered Ahsoka to get Rotta out but when Ahsoka tried to find a way out of the pit she accidentally released a massive which attacked Anakin and Ventress who continued their duel on the back of the beast. A squad of battle droids appeared on the balcony above but Ahsoka used telekinesis to pull the droids towards her before destroying them with her lightsaber. Meanwhile R2-D2, who was up on the balcoy with the droids, disabled a few more. Ahsoka then stabbed the Rancor Anakin and Ventress were fighting on in the foot and when it lunged at her she stabbed it in the nose causing it to stagger back and fall on top of Ventress. The Jedi fled shortly before Ventress burned the Rancors backside with one of her lightsabers and picked herself up, dazed but very much alive.

The two Jedi escaped to a landing platform but the ship that was supposed to pick them up was shot down by a. Ahsoka and Anakin defeated the droid and then Rotta spotted another landing platform. Ahsoka had a brief duel with Ventress before her Master picked her up on the back of a Can-cell, followed by R2-D2. They discovered a ship, with at the foot of the ramp. When battle droids descended from the ship, it became obvious to Ahsoka that 4A-7 was a spy. She destroyed the battle droids and decapitated 4A-7.

The Jedi commandeered the ship and attempted to land on the Venator-class Star Destroyer Spirit of the Republic, but its hangar was destroyed before they could land. With no other options left to them, the Jedi traveled directly to Tatooine in the old freighter. While in hyperspace, Ahsoka was able to treat Rotta with medicine on board the ship, saving his life.

Mission to Tatooine
The Twilight arrived at Anakin's homeworld, Tatooine, but the ship was shot down by MagnaGuards. The Jedi survived the crash and made their way across the Dune Sea to Jabba's Palace. Ahsoka wished to know more of her master's life on the planet, but he refused to talk about it. On the way, both Ahsoka and Anakin sensed a trap. Ahsoka separated from her Master, taking the Huttlet with her. As her master faced Count Dooku, Ahsoka was forced to fight three MagnaGuards single-handedly.

Though it was difficult, she managed to defeat the MagnaGuards and deliver Rotta to his father before Jabba could have Skywalker executed, on the false belief that the Jedi had kidnapped his son. However, Jabba believed the Jedi were still using him and ordered them killed. Luckily, at the last moment, Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo appeared via hologram with testimony that Jabba's own uncle, Ziro Desilijic Tiure, was responsible for Rotta's kidnapping. Once the truth was made known, Jabba promised the Republic safe passage through his territory in the Outer Rim, provided they promise to bring Dooku to justice for his crimes. Ziro would be punished severely by the Hutts. Ahsoka and Anakin were picked up by Obi-Wan, Tom and Yoda.

Rescuing Plo Koon
"Wait! Just because there haven't been any survivors before doesn't mean there won't be any this time!"

- Ahsoka speaks out to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and the Jedi Council.

Sometime afterward, there was distress as news spread of a secret Separatist weapon that had destroyed over a dozen Republic warships, leaving no survivors. Plo Koon, the Jedi that had brought Ahsoka to the Jedi Temple, went to the Abregado system with three attack cruisers to track down the weapon. Anakin Skywalker's fleet was stationed in the nearby Bith system at the time, with Ahsoka accompanying her Master. Plo contacted them and warmly greeted Ahsoka. Communications, however, were cut off as the Malevolence approached Plo's small fleet. Anakin contacted the Jedi Council, informing them of the situation. The taskforce appeared to have been destroyed, and Master Koon was assumed dead. Mace Windu assigned Anakin's taskforce to protect vital convoy missions, but Ahsoka, obviously not wanting to give up on her old friend, interrupted to urge the Council to go searching for Master Koon. However she was chided for her impetuous outburst, and after the conference, Anakin scolded her for speaking out of turn. Anakin gave orders to Admiral Yularen to deploy the task force to protect against any enemies who may be a threat to the convoys, while he and Ahsoka flew the Twilight to 'scout ahead'.

The Twilight arrived in the Abregado system, but rather than search for the secret weapon, Anakin ordered R2-D2 to calibrate the sensors to look for life-forms. Anakin had bent the rules to look for Plo Koon, much to Ahsoka's surprise. Anakin explained to his Padawan that he had always intended to look for survivors, but he was trying to teach to Ahsoka a lesson on using discretion. Skywalker had chosen to creatively interpret his mandate, rather than be directly confrontational as Ahsoka had been. They searched the field of debris with no luck. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Tom contacted them, telling them to return to the defensive escorts. As they were about to turn around, R2-D2 picked up a distress signal and they decided to continue searching.

Supreme Chancellor Palpatine contacted the two Jedi, ordering them to listen to the Jedi Council and rejoin the convoys. However, just as they were about to head back, Ahsoka sensed Plo's presence through the Force Bond she shared with the Jedi Master and started piloting the Twilight herself towards him. She and Anakin found that Plo and three of his clones were the only survivors from the attack, and brought them aboard the Twilight, giving immediate medical attention to the wounded clones.

Plo informed them that the "secret weapon" that the Separatists were using was an ion cannon that disabled all electronic systems, rendering their ships defenseless. At that point, the Malevolence passed by, forcing them to shut down all systems before it could detect them. However, they forgot to shut off the medical droid, TB-2. It was detected by the Malevolence, which responded by firing the ion cannon. The Twilight managed to escape the ion wave by jumping into hyperspace, taking the knowledge of the Separatist weapon with them.

Battle against the Malevolence
Shortly thereafter, Anakin devised a plan to utilize the newly acquired BTL-B Y-wing starfighters in a daring attack upon the Malevolence, primarily focusing on targeting General Grievous to ensure a speedier resolution to the war. The Republic plotted the course of the Separatist super weapon to the Kaliida Shoals Medical Center, where over 60,000 wounded clones were being cared for. In an attempt to arrive there before it, the strike force made its way through the Balmorran Run; however, the small force had not reckoned on encountering Neebray mantas.

After barely escaping with their lives, the strike team engaged in battle with the Malevolence, taking several casualties. When it became apparent that the original plan would fail, Ahsoka, acting as her Master's gunner, suggested a change in tactics. In line with her suggestion, Plo devised an attack plan. The remaining starfighters fired upon one of the ion cannons as it was charging up, causing it to overload, and thereby destroying both the port and starboard super weapons. After the destruction of the ion cannons, Obi-Wan and Tom arrived in the system with three Republic ships that began pursuit of the fleeing Malevolence.

Rescuing Padme Armidala
Due to the Malevolence being able to withstand the barrage of fire because of its immense size, Ahsoka and Anakin contacted Jedi Master Luminara Unduli to request reinforcements, though the Mirialan Jedi Master was unable to oblige due to being involved in a skirmish with a Separatist fleet herself. As the battle continued, Ahsoka discovered that a small Naboo ship had entered the system; aboard was none other than Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo, who thought she had been sent on a diplomatic mission to the region.

However, the Senator became caught in the Malevolence's tractor beam and was taken captive aboard it. Anakin and Obi-Wan went to rescue her and Tom and Ahsoka followed. The four Jedi infiltrated the Malevolence by docking at one of the emergency airlocks.

They found Padme on the Malevolence's rail jets and Anakin leapt to her rescue. Tom and Ahsoka joined him and Anakin acted affectionately towards Padme causing them to become suspicious. Obi-Wan contacted them through Anakin's comlinc, telling him that he'd gotten separated from his protocol droid C-3PO. Padme told them that the hyperdrive of the Malevolence, which had been damaged during Anakin and Ahsoka's mission to destroy the ion cannons, was almost repaired. Obi-Wan said he would handle the hyperdrive so the three Jedi and Senator headed back towards the Twilight.

On the way there they fought a group of Super Battle droids and Anakin decided to go up to the bridge to reprogram the Malevolence's nava-computer, while Ahsoka and Tom got Padme back to the Twilight. On the way there, the Padawan's destroyed two droideka's and then realised that in all the excitement, they hadn't actually introduced themselves to the Senator. Meanwhile Obi-Wan escaped an encounter with General Grievous, R2-D2 found C-3PO and Anakin reprogrammed the nava-computer to send the Malevolence into a nearby moon. The Jedi, Senator and droids all escaped in the Twilight. General Grievous chased them briefly but decided to flee when he realised the Malevolence's nava-computer was going to send it crashing into the nearby moon.

Battle of Bothawui
After the Republic suffered a series of defeats at the hands of General Grievous, Ahsoka participated in the defense of the planet Bothawui, along with her Master and his battle group. Ahsoka commanded the Republic flagship, while her Master led a starfighter assault. While the Republic managed to repel Grievous, Anakin's ship was destroyed in the battle, and though he was able to be recovered, R2-D2 was not. Skywalker believed that the droid had survived the ships destruction and he and Ahsoka mounted a mission to find him.

Ahsoka encouraged the use of the replacement droid R3-S6, especially after she and her Master failed to recover R2-D2. Later, Skywalker mounted a mission to discover a listening post used by Grievous; however, due to R3-S6, he found himself in dire trouble, when Grievous discovered his ships location through its tracking beacon and his ships attacked the Jedi. Fortunately, the timely intervention of Ahsoka and Rex aboard the Twilight allowed Anakin to escape.

Mission on Skytop Station

 * They sent a child to destroy my station? The Republic must be running out of Jedi.
 * You must be General Grievous.
 * -Ahsoka meets General Grievous for the first time

Still hunting for R2-D2, Ahsoka and Anakin followed a signal that Skywalker sensed was from the missing astromech and arrived at Skytop Station, the listening post used by General Grievous. Upon arrival at the station to destroy it, Skywalker separated from Tano and left the small clone task force under her command to plant explosive charges and destroy the station's reactors, while he himself went to locate R2-D2. Ahsoka found herself face to face with General Grievous himself, who caught the group by surprise. After saving Captain Rex from a killing blow by Grievous, Ahsoka engaged the cyborg in a brief duel, luring him away from the clones. Although a Padawan, she distinguished herself by being one of the extreme few to face the cyborg and survive. She later discovered that R3-S6 was a Separatist spy droid under the general's command.

When she tried to escape the store room she'd been hiding in, Grievous grabbed Ahsoka's neck, took her lightsaber and told her it would be added to his collection. Fortunately he was distracted by the explosions from the charges set by the clones, Ahsoka managed to slice off the cyborg's right hand, used the Force to retrieve her lightsaber, and escaped through the vents. She made her way to the landing bay where she helped her Master and the clones fight against super battle droids and vulture droids. After R2-D2 had managed to open the blast doors to the landing bay that was keeping the Twilight from escaping, Ahsoka, Anakin, and the clones exited as the station plummeted down through the planet's atmosphere. Ahsoka reassured Rex as Anakin left in his Delta-7B to retrieve R2-D2.

Guarding Nute Gunray
Shortly afterwards, Ahsoka was assigned to Luminara Unduli's ship to guard Trade Federation Viceroy, who had been captured on Rodia. Ahsoka threatened Gunray during his interrogation, earning a chastising from Unduli. When the ship was boarded by super battle droids, Ahsoka stayed at Gunray's cell while Unduli dealt with the droids.

Ahsoka was forced to face Asajj Ventress when the Dark Acolyte broke into the detention level to free Nute Gunray. However, Ahsoka was tricked and was locked in Gunray's cell. Unduli came to her rescue, though, and the two briefly fought Ventress together. Unduli insisted on chasing Asajj alone, despite Ahsoka's warning that Ventress was too strong for her. Eventually, Ahsoka decided to go help the Jedi Master, and the two dueled Ventress together. Although the traitor Captain and the Rattataki assassin successfully rescued Gunray, it was not a total loss because the ship could be tracked. Ahsoka spoke with her Master, who told her to meet him at a rendezvous point, departed after saying goodbye to Unduli. She also briefed the Jedi Master Kit Fisto on the possible whereabouts of Gunray.

Battle of Quell
The Resolute later assisted Jedi Master Aayla Secura's cruiser, which was being attacked by Separatist Munificent-class frigates. Ahsoka, Anakin, Rex and a platoon went to assist on LAAT/i gunships. Anakin used the rocket droids as stepping stones to get inside Aayla's ship, while Ahsoka, Rex and the troopers got in when their gunship was shot down and penetrated the hull of the destroyer. Since the cruiser had sustained extensive damage, they had no choice but to escape its imminent destruction by using a docked Consular-class frigate. On their way, they saw an explosive blast approaching them, and Anakin used a Force Wave to throw the others ahead while he held off the blast by closing blast doors with the Force. After the blast dissipated, Ahsoka managed to haul her unconscious Master out of the wreckage, along with Aayla's help, and brought him inside the ship. However, before they could dock with the Resolute to give him medical attention, an assault from Vulture droids knocked out the pilot and accidentally activated the hyperdrive. Fortunately, the Resolute managed to maneuver out of the way in time, but unfortunately the frigate jumped to hyperspace.

Adventure on Maridun
Upon entering hyperspace, Ahsoka, Aayla, Bly and Rex realized that the navicomputer was not correctly set before the hyperdrive was activated, sending them on course for a nearby star. Secura ordered all the power systems to be shut down to reset the navicomputer. Ahsoka protested that doing so would include shutting down life support for Skywalker, but was convinced by Aayla that they otherwise would not survive. After shutting down and restarting the ship's systems, Ahsoka managed to slingshot the ship around the star, but after the stress the ship endured and the rate of speed at which they were going, they were on a collision course with a nearby planet. Ahsoka successfully kept all of the occupants alive with her maneuvers, despite the damage the ship sustained from the crash landing, garnering praise for her piloting skills from Aayla.

Once they settled camp, they had to find help for Anakin and found proof of sentient life in the form a tablet with a carving of a tree on it. Ahsoka volunteered to stay behind; however, Aayla explained to her that the two of them had to work together. Rex reassured Ahsoka that he would stand guard over her Master, while the others went to search for help. While she was with Aayla, Ahsoka was reminded by the Twi'lek Jedi Master that the Jedi Code forbade personal attachments. After losing three clone troopers to indigenous animals, they found a village of Lurmen, who had settled on the planet to escape the war. Though their leader was adamant in not participating in the Republic's conflict with the Separatists, he agreed to give Skywalker medical attention. One of the Lurmen and Watt Kaa's son,, accompanied Ahsoka and Bly to retrieve Tano's Master. They arrived at the camp in time to save Skywalker and Rex from aggressive. After bringing Skywalker back to the village for Wag Too to treat, Ahsoka admitted to Secura that if she had stayed with her master, they might not have found the village in time to save him.

As Skywalker was healing his injuries, a Separatist ship appeared on Maridun, and the Jedi and clones were forced to flee so that the Lurmen would not be slaughtered for their presence. Ahsoka could not understand the Lurmen's aversion to fighting, but Secura told her that it took courage to follow one's beliefs. A recon droid discovered them, and after Ahsoka, Rex and Bly gave chase, Secura was able to destroy it. Climbing a tree, the group discovered that the Separatists had set up a station, and were testing a new weapon and planning on using it on the Lurmen colony. That night, the group took out the Separatists' communications and stole a shuttle, but instead of leaving the planet, they went back to the Lurmen colony. Tee Watt Kaa was adamant against receiving help from the Jedi, but Anakin, who had sufficiently recovered from his injuries, managed to convince him to let them stand by their beliefs.

The Jedi set up a deflector shield, and they were able to withstand the defoliator. The Jedi were able to defeat the first wave of droids, but the second wave of droids was much larger in strength, and the droids managed to get past the Jedi and destroy the shield generators. General ordered the defoliator reloaded, but before it could be fired, Skywalker destroyed it and captured him. Meanwhile, Wag Too led an assault on the droids against the wishes of his father, and the Lurmen tied up the remaining droids with rope causing them to fall to the ground. Ahsoka destroyed the fallen droids by scraping her lightsaber along the ground and slicing off their heads as she passed. Later, as the Jedi prepared to leave, Wag Too gave the Jedi his thanks. Tee Watt Kaa did as well, but wondered what price it had come at. The Resolute and two other Venator-class cruisers came out of hyperspace; Admiral Yularen was apparently able to find the Jedi on his own.

Battle of Ryloth
After Techno Union Foreman Wat Tambor took control of the planet Ryloth and its inhabitants, the Jedi Council dispatched Skywalker and Ahsoka to destroy the blockade surrounding the planet, to clear the way for the invasion forces. Ahsoka, and her new droid, R7-A7, led a squadron for the first time, leading Blue Squadron as Blue Leader. She led her squadron from the Resolute and proceeded to attack the incoming Vulture droids, and managed to cut a clean path straight to the control ship. However, after Separatist reinforcements arrived, she disobeyed a direct order from Admiral Yularen and Skywalker to retreat. Vulture droids began to plunder the Resolute on suicidal runs, and Ahsoka turned back, but lost half of her battle group along the way. After the Republic forces retreated, she was devastated. Skywalker tried to comfort her, which was to no avail. Later, Ahsoka found the injured Admiral Yularen unconscious in the medical bay, and mournfully apologized for her failure.

Anakin received orders to continue with the plan despite their losses. Ahsoka, now adamant against taking command because her earlier failure, questioned Skywalker's readiness, and Anakin ordered her back to her quarters to "cool off". Later, alarms started to sound, and Ahsoka found from a passerby clone trooper that the Defender had been ordered to evacuate. Arriving in the hangar bay of the Resolute, she found that Skywalker had devised a plan to pilot the Defender alone and ram it into the lead control ship, thereby leaving out-maneuverable droids in charge of the blockade. Ahsoka was overwhelmed, now given more pressure with the added responsibility of her Master's life, but before she could stop Skywalker, he left for the Defender and left her in charge of the remaining forces. However when Captain Rex asked what her orders were Ahsoka ran to her quarters. Rex followed her and found that she'd been crying about the loss of her squadron and all the pressure that was put on her shoulders. The Clone Captain comforted her and even revealed that he too doubted himself at times; he simply hid it better than she did. With Rex's encouragement Ahsoka returned to the bridge and devised a plan to destroy the blockade.

Ahsoka planned to angle the hull of the Resolute toward the blockade, acting as a screen so the fighters could launch, the navigation officer of the Resolute was doubtful, but she received support from a recovered Admiral Yularen. After Skywalker rammed the Defender into the lead control ship and its commander, Mar Tuuk, fled, the Resolute came out of hyperspace, and Ahsoka led fighters, and successfully destroyed the remaining frigates in the blockade. Three Acclamator-class ships came out of hyperspace, the lead ship carrying Obi-Wan Kenobi, Tom Norton and Mace Windu. Kenobi conferred with Ahsoka, and she told him that they were clear for ground assault; Kenobi was rather disapproving of Skywalker's reckless plan, but was glad it had worked. Ahsoka ordered Rex to send a shuttle to pick up Skywalker's escape pod.

Blue Shadow Virus crisis
During the crisis with the Blue Shadow Virus, Ahsoka and Tom accompanied Pepi Bo to find Dr Nuvo Vindi's laboratory where Padme Armidala and Jar Jar Bink's were being held prisoner. The two Padawan's reported back to Anakin and Obi-Wan who ordered them to create a distraction by setting off an explosion at one of the entrances allowing the adult Jedi and clones to get into the lab. Ahsoka used the Force to maneuvre a thermal detonator onto an entrance and blow it up giving their allies time to get into the lab. Ahsoka and Tom quickly joined the fight.

At first the mission seemed to be a success since Dr Vindi was arrested and the bombs containing the Blue Shadow Virus were disarmed. However one of Vindi's droids managed to get a missing vial of the Blue Shadow Virus into a bomb and blow it up sending the deadly virus through the facility. Padme and Jar Jar were safe because they were wearing protective suits but Ahsoka, Tom and the clones were forced to flee to a safe room. At first it seemed they weren't going to make it but Tom used the Force to hold open the door and everyone got inside. Tom then turned and sent a powerful Force Wave at the incoming Virus, blowing it backwards and giving him time to leap into the saferoom, while Ahsoka held the doors open for him.

Tom had prevented the virus from getting into the saferoom but when Padme reported that there were still droids in the facility the Padawan's and clones wondered if they should stay safe or go out and help Padme and Jar Jar. Tom wanted to stay in the saferoom but Ahsoka reminded him that Jedi were supposed to be selfless. She also told him that she believed Anakin and Obi-Wan would find a cure and in the end Tom reluctantly agreed.

They destroyed all the droids in the facility but by the time they were done the Virus was beginning to take its toll. Padme had also been infected because her suit had been breached. Tom was convinced that they were all going to die and when Ahsoka fainted he caught her. Thinking that this might be his last time with her, Tom kissed Ahsoka in front of the clones, Padme and Jar Jar. Ahsoka briefly regained consciousness after he kissed her but then fainted again. When a medical droid arrived with the cure Padme and Jar Jar were the only people who were still conscious and Tom had his arm around Ahsoka while they were unconscious.

Ahsoka and Tom felt awkward around each other for a few days and this was noticed by Plo Koon. Though it is unknown if he ever had a romantic relationship it is known that Plo's friend, Qui-Gon Jinn, had a romantic relationship with. Qui-Gon had confided in Plo about his feelings for Tahl. Plo told Ahsoka that it was not wrong to fall in love and as long as they didn't allow their emotions to control them they could get into a romantic relationship. After her discussion with Plo, Ahsoka and Tom shared another brief kiss in a training room.

Library guard
As the war continued, Confederate forces—led by General Grievous—invaded the Outer Rim planet of Felucia. Plo Koon, Ahsoka, Tom, Anakin and Obi-Wan led an assault to counter the Separatist threat. The Republic forces engaged the Confederate Navy above the planet and began to break-up their advancement; however, waves of Vulture droids caused problems for the Republic group. Few clone trooper transports made it to the planet surface to aide Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. As battle droids continued to fire on the struggling clone troopers, General Koon cleared the skies of Vulture droids, inside his starfighter. Meanwhile, a Vulture droid fragment fell from the sky and landed on one of the Republic's AT-TE walkers. Seeing that the Republic forces had lost much of its reinforcements, Kenobi signaled for an immediate retreat; however, both Kenobi and Skywalker noticed that Ahsoka and Tom were missing. Contacting them through comlink, Ahsoka revealed that they had engaged another group of battle droids 6 klicks east of the Jedi Masters' location. Kenobi told her that the Republic forces were retreating and they needed to return, which the Togruta Padawan denied and told him that they had broken through the Separatists' defense. However, Skywalker and Kenobi landed their LAAT/i gunships in front of Ahsoka and Tom's Juggernaut Turbo Tank, which caused her to shout at Skywalker in dismay. Skywalker then forced her to enter his gunship while Tom joined Obi-Wan without hesitation. As the Republic forces—onboard the LAAT/i gunships—lifted above the ground, the forces within them witnessed the destruction of Tom and Ahsoka's Turbo Tank and its reinforcements, which made Ahsoka finally realize her mistakes.

After leaving Felucia, the Republic forces returned to Coruscant. Inside the Temple' High Council Chamber, Ahsoka, Tom and Anakin stood before Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Yoda. Obi-Wan had provided the Council information on what Ahsoka had done on Felucia. After Windu informed the Padawan of Kenobi’s information, Windu asked if she agreed with Kenobi's claims. Tom didn't get blamed for what had happened since he had obeyed Obi-Wan as soon as the Jedi Master arrived. Ahsoka agreed, and told the Jedi Master that she is regretful of her actions and that she was "caught in the moment." Skywalker defended his Padawan by taking the blame for giving Ahsoka too much responsibility; however, Windu dismissed his claim. The Jedi Master then announced that Ahsoka would take time off from the battlefield and become a Jedi Archives guard, under the assistance of Jedi Librarian Jocasta Nu. Tom cheerfully pointed out that that was more of a reward than a punishment and he, Ahsoka and Anakin left the Council Chamber in much better spirits to the irritation of Master Windu. Tom had introduced Ahsoka to Jocasta Nu at some point in their childhood so the two Padawans were already acquainted with the Jedi Librarian. They tried to persuade Nu to let them into the holocron vault, which they had done many times before but Nu, exhasperated by their persistent requests to enter the vault, denied them access.

Upon recognizing a Jedi that she had met in the past, Ahsoka greeted Jedi Master Ord Enisence. However, unbeknownst to her, a female Clawdite bounty hunter had taken the appearance of Enisence to infiltrate the Jedi Temple. Ahsoka began to bother the seemly Jedi, asking if he needed help. The bounty hunter, enraged, told the Padawan to "leave him be". After the Padawan walked away, the bounty hunter uses a computer terminal to secretly provide Duros bounty hunter Cad Bane information about the Jedi Temple, via comlink. As Bane and his Techno-service droid, Todo 360, entered the Jedi Temple through a ventilation vent, Grand Master Yoda continued to feel the intruders through the Force, and soon placed the temple on high alert. While the ongoing events escalated, the elder Jedi Librarian told Ahsoka and Tom to remain on guard, while she went to notify everyone that the temple was on high alert.

Nu first went to Enisence; however, the bounty hunter punched Nu in the face, knocking her unconscious. Yoda contacted Ahsoka, via comlink, and alerted her of the danger. Tom, who'd been growing bored, was happy that something interesting was happening but Ahsoka was worried. They split up and Ahsoka left the Archives main room and confronted Cato Parasitti who had changed her appearance from Enisence to Nu. Parasitti engaged Ahsoka in a brief lightsaber duel inside the Archives main room but was no match for the Padawan who quickly defeated the Clawdite, knocking her to the ground. Several Jedi&mdash;consisting of Mace Windu, Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Aayla Secura, and Kit Fisto&mdash;arrived inside the Archives room. The group arrested the bounty hunter yet noticed that a holocron was missing from the vault. While Parasitti was being taken away, Tom was kidnapped by Bane just before the Bounty Hunter left the Temple. Before the Jedi dismissed the captured bounty hunter, the latter revealed that Cad Bane was about to hunt Jedi Master Bolla Ropal to retrieve the Kyber memory crystal, a crystal that contained a list of potential Force-sensitive younglings throughout the galaxy. Ahsoka then sensed that Tom was gone and found his lightsaber in the library which she took with her when they headed to Devaron to rescue him.

Taking back the stolen holocron
After leaving Coruscant onboard the Venator-class Star Destroyer, Resolute, Ahsoka joined Anakin and a Obi-Wan on the bridge of the cruiser. Admiral Yularen joined the group, who told Skywalker that they have arrived near the navy forces of the ruthless bounty hunter, Cad Bane. Above the planet of Devaron, Republic Star Destroyers engaged Bane's Munificent-class Star Frigates. After witnessing the location of Bane's frigate, Anakin, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka joined Rex and his men on the Resolute's hangar bay. After Rex revealed that they had no transports to deliver the troops to Bane's frigate, Yularen joined the group and offered his help. Skywalker ordered the latter to activate a few AT-TE walkers that were near them; although Obi-Wan protested at his decision. Determined to use deactivated AT-TE walkers, Skywalker ignored his former Masters protests, and soon activated them with Ahsoka who claimed that her Master was a genius.

While the three Jedi were dressed in pressurized suits, the clone troopers soon climbed onboard the walkers, and were prepared to land on top of Bane's frigate. The Resolute's bottom release platform inside the hangar opened, letting the walked free fall in zero-gravity down to the Munificent-class Star Frigate. B1 battle droids engaged the group, although were defeated by the Republic force. It was during this fight that Ahsoka first revealled her talent in Jar'Kai using Tom's lightsaber along with her own. Skywalker ordered his astromech droid, R2-D2, to open the main hatch, which allowed the group to enter the frigate. They split up with Ahsoka going to find Tom while Anakin and Obi-Wan went after Bane. Ahsoka found Tom exhausted and injured but alive inside a torture room. Unbeknownst to them, Bane had access to the ship's functions through his wrist gauntlet, and soon turned off the lights throughout the frigate. The Republic force soon ventured through the ship, and soon R2-D2 spotted Bane running through a hallway. They caught up to the bounty hunter; however, the latter soon released his battle droid force at the Jedi and clones. While Tom, who was in no condition to fight, sheltered from the fight, Ahsoka, Anakin, Obi-Wan and the clones battled the Bounty Hunter and his droids. Through his wrist gauntlet, the bounty hunter turned off the artificial gravity, which allowed Bane to have the advantage over the Jedi. Ahsoka ordered R2 to reactivate the gravity, and the droid complied.

The holocron, which was out of Bane's possession for a brief time after Skywalker kicked the bounty hunter, was recovered by the mercenary, and soon he fled the area. Not willing to let Bane escape, Ahsoka chased after him without Skywalker's approval and Tom, who had found new strength when he saw Ahsoka chasing the dangerous Bounty Hunter, chased after her. Bane used his blaster pistol for fire at the young Togruta; however, Ahsoka easily deflected the shot, injuring Bane's right arm. Ahsoka attacked him with her lightsaber, although Bane kicked it from the Padawan's grasp. Using his weapon again, Bane attempted to fire at the weaponless Padawan, but with a quick grab to Bane's left arm, Ahsoka elbowed Bane and flipped him to the ground. Not impressed with the bounty hunter's ability to fight without his weapons, Ahsoka tried to telekinetically retrieve her fallen lightsaber, although Bane tricked the Padawan. Bane reached and grabbed Ahsoka's ankle and activated a paralyzing electric shock, which rendered the Padawan unconscious.

The bounty hunter placed his Jedi hostage in stun cuffs, and began to savor his victory over the Padawan. Pulling off one of her silka bead Padawan braids, Bane attached it to his belt as a trophy. Tom caught up with them and entered the room, and soon was greeted by Bane. Though Ahsoka feared for her life, she bravely tried to persuade Tom not to cooperate with the bounty hunter, thinking that killing Bane and retrieving the holocron was more important than her own life. However Tom didn't feel the same way; he cared about Ahsoka far more than he cared about the holocron so he chose to open the holocron for the bounty hunter.

Using the Force, Tom opened the holocron, and Bane placed the stolen Kyber memory crystal within before holding up the now readable holocron. Tom told him to let Ahsoka go and for a moment it seemed the Bounty Hunter would comply but then the treacherous Duros opened the Airlock. Tom had been expecting that and cut down Bane's guards so quickly that Bane barely managed to avoid being beheaded. The Bounty Hunter fled while Tom, in a remarkable display to Telekinetic prowess, stopped Ahsoka from being sucked out of their airlock though the effort caused him to lose consciousness. Anakin arrived, having been held up by several Magnaguards, and carried Tom to the hanger. Noticing that Rex and his men had secured a shuttle, both ran toward it. Above in the upper-deck level of the hangar, clone troopers Denal and Koho engaged Bane in a brief duel, which cost the lives of both clones. Disguising himself as Denal, Bane entered Skywalker's getaway ship and remainded hidden within the clone trooper armor. He fled when they got back to the Resolute.

Chasing a bounty hunter
"Don't move, sleemo!"'' "You aren't the child I was expecting to find." "Obviously." ''"You're quite clever, but naive."

- Cad Bane, before engaging Ahsoka Tano in a duel

Through the Force, the Council managed to pinpoint which children Bane would target. Unfortunately, Obi-Wan and Tom failed to prevent the bounty hunter from capturing a child on Rodia. Ahsoka and Anakin, however, were assigned to protect the young Gungan Roo-Roo Page on the planet of Naboo. Bane touched down near Page's home, located in the waterfall–surrounded Jan-gwa city and witnessed a Gungan mother place a small figure in a crib before leaving the room. Believing that she had left behind Page, the bounty hunter entered the nursery and pulled back the blanket, only to find a tooka doll in place of the expected baby. A moment later, Ahsoka burst into the room, lightsaber drawn. Remarking on the Padawan's combination of cleverness and naivety, Bane used his gauntlet's lanyard to ensnare her weapon and pull it away from her. The Duros fired his blaster at Ahsoka, who rolled and ducked behind some furniture. Bane attempted to escape with his rocket boots but was confronted by Anakin, who jumped and grabbed onto the hunter's boots. With the extra weight, Bane's boosters were disabled, and as the two tumbled onto a roof, the hunter's hat was knocked off. The pair struggled before landing on the ground, and the outmatched Bane looked up to see Ahsoka's lightsaber in his face.

The Duros was placed in binders, and Ahsoka retrieved her Padawan braid jewelry that the hunter had previously taken from her as a trophy. Bane and the Xanadu Blood were taken to the Resolute; the hunter was placed in a shielded holding cell, while his starfighter was examined by the Jedi. Interrogated by Masters Kenobi and Mace Windu, Bane refused to reveal the whereabouts of the kidnapped children and the location of the holocron. The two Masters and Skywalker worked together and employed the Force to compel the strong-minded Bane to lead them to the stolen holocron&mdash;an act that came at the risk of destroying his mind and disturbed Ahsoka, especially since Tom, who was also present, showed a slightly sadistic bit of pleasure in the Bounty Hunters discomfort. Thrashing from his attempts at resisting the Jedi's influence, Bane eventually promised to take them to the holocron, albeit with the intention of leading them into a trap. The bound bounty hunter was escorted into a waiting T-6 shuttle, where he dictated the coordinates of the deep space Black Stall Station to his accompanying guards&mdash;Obi-Wan, Tom, Mace, and Clone Commander CC-2224, nicknamed "Cody".

While the Jedi Masters traveled to Black Stall Station, Anakin and Ahsoka were left to report to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine; or rather, Ahsoka was made to wait outside the door while the Chancellor conferred with Anakin. Afterwards, the two Jedi examined Bane's captured ship and by pinpointing where the bounty hunter had refueled, were able to ascertain that he had visited the planet of Mustafar which was several parsecs out of his way. The pair traveled to an installation on the volcanic planet, where they managed to overcome several nanny droids to rescue the two children captured by Bane. Tom, Obi-Wan and Mace on the other hand managed to retrieve the stolen holocron, though it came at the cost of Bane escaping once again.

Second Battle of Geonosis
Ahsoka and her master joined up with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Tom Norton after routing the separtists near Dorin, along with Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi, Commander Cody, Commander Jet and Captain Rex, lead an assault on Poggle the Lesser's new droid factory on Geonosis. During the briefing with Unduli, Ahsoka learned about Tom's friendship with Barriss Offee and had a brief period of jealousy before Tom assured her that he and Barriss were just friends.

The second phase of the battle involved Skywalker and Luminara Unduli engaging new advanced separatist tanks to act as a diversion while Ahsoka and Barriss completed their mission of destroying the droid factory using the underground catacombs made by the Geonosians. The Padawans were followed by one of Geonosians, who soon alerted Poggle of their presence. Poggle ordered the deactivation of the Padawan's detonators, which covered the entire droid foundry generator. While doing so, Poggle also sent a squad of battle droids and super tanks to distract the Padawans. After the two Jedi destroyed all of the droids, Ahsoka suggested that they use the super tank's weapons system to blow up the power generator since the Geonosians took the bombs. She contacted her master, telling him that they were trapped inside and then contacted Tom who begged her not to do it. When Ahsoka told him that nothing he said would change her mind, Tom abandoned Obi-Wan and most of his clones, ordering a gunship to take him to Ahsoka's location.

After taking out the power generator, Ahsoka was able to help her master locate Barriss and herself by hotwiring a power cell from the tank. Anakin and Luminara were able to locate the two in time and freed them from the rubble. Shortly afterwards Tom arrived in a gunship and overwhelmed with relief he hugged Ahsoka and then Barriss to the disapproval of Master Unduli.

Invasion on a supply ship
Ahsoka and Barriss were assigned to lead a supply ship to the Ord Cestus medical station. Tom wanted to go with them but Master's Unduli and Mundi forbade it due to the very obvious attachment he had to Ahsoka. Obi-Wan did not openly forbid Tom to join the mission but it was clear that he agreed with Ki-Adi and Luminara because he was still angry with his Padawan for abandoning them on Geonosis.

Since she was not able to sleep, Ahsoka decided to eat with Barriss. While they were eating, two clones named Edge and Ox attacked them because they were under control of brain worms. The Padawans took out their lightsabers and defeated them. Then Trap and another clone came to Ahsoka and Barriss asking them what was happening. The troopers said that they would keep an eye on Edge and Ox. After realizing what was going on in the ship, Tano and Offee decided to split up and Ahsoka went to talk to Anakin and Master Kit Fisto. While investigating the ship, Barriss walked into a trap laid by the infected troopers and was infected by the worm and then went after Ahsoka. It is interesting to note that one of the Clones noted that they knew how to trap a Jedi, giving a foreshadowing of Order 66. Ahsoka escaped when Barriss engaged her and Anakin advised her that the parasites could be destroyed by cold. Ahsoka ruptured the coolant system aboard the ship, but was then attacked again by Barriss. In the midst of the duel, Barriss started to regain control of her mind and begged Ahsoka to kill her. Ahsoka refused to harm her due to her attachment to Barriss and only killed the worm that was coming out of the Mirialans's mouth. Anakin, Kit and reinforcements quickly arrived and told Ahsoka she had managed to stop the infection, though Tano remained conflicted about the choice she made. Ahsoka recognized that if she had failed, the parasite could have spread further, but Anakin reassured her that she did the right thing by following her instincts to save as many lives as possible.

Chasing Boba Fett
When Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu were nearly killed by Boba Fett, Ahsoka and Plo Koon went to rescue them after R2-D2 told them what had happened. After the rescue they were contacted by Aurra Sing, who was holding three men hostage. Ahsoka and Plo went to rescue them and met Hondo Ohnaka who told them that he had nothing to do with the three mens kidnapping. Ahsoka and Plo confronted Sing and Fett and although Fett was captured Sing tried to escape. Ahsoka chased after her and brought down the Slave I, causing Sing to crash and the bounty hunter was nearly killed in the explosion. However this was not the last time Ahsoka and Aurra Sing would confront each other.

Personality and traits
In the early stages of her Jedi training, Ahsoka was a bit awkward and nervous and the only person she felt truly at ease around was Plo Koon. When around Plo she was sometimes mischievous and disobedient, once using telekinesis to steal the Jedi Master's lightsaber and then playing with it, though Plo found her before she hurt herself. However when she was around people she was unfamiliar with Ahsoka was rather shy. She also had a habit of stroking one of her head tails as a sign of nervousness. After her training officially began, Ahsoka's natural talent as a Jedi, combined with her close friendships with Tom Norton and Plo Koon, caused her confidence to increase vastly, and she was no longer nervous about being around people she didn't know. After Tom protected her from Abron Stryfe, Ahsoka became determined to be able to take care of herself, becoming much more independent. However some Jedi felt that her confidence had increased a bit too much.

Ahsoka was very mischievous as a youngling and was known to play pranks on the Jedi Masters along with Tom. She was determined to become a powerful Jedi and like Tom she was dedicated to her training. Ahsoka was known to sulk occasionally when things didn't go her way and she sulked when Tom was allowed into a fighting tournament but she wasn't. She was very headstrong and was considered a suitable Padawan for the equally headstrong Anakin Skywalker. Like Tom she rather enjoyed combat, liking to show off her skills.

By the time she joined the Clone Wars, Ahsoka was very confident in her abilities but had a tendency to become overconfident at times. She often talked down to enemies during combat behaving as if she were superior to them and she often came up with insulting names for them such as calling the Magnaguards she fought on Tatooine, "Stick tinnies". She even insulted Asajj Ventress and General Grievous, calling Ventress the "Hairless harpy" and referring to Grievous as "just another tinny". She could also be rather aggressive at times and was willing to use threats to obtain information, which sometimes caused concern by elder Jedi.

Despite being rather aggressive at times, Ahsoka was very loyal to people she cared about and refused to give up on Plo Koon after his fleet was destroyed by the Malevolence. Ahsoka was also very selfless and was willing to sacrifice herself if she felt it was necessary. Whilst duelling her on Mortis, Tom told her that she was more selfless than he could ever be.

Ahsoka was also good with children as shown by the way she looked after Rotta and the children that were kidnapped by Cad Bane. She was also seen comforting two younglings when General Grievous sent a message to the Jedi Temple, bragging about the capture and torture of Eeth Koth. Although she was feisty, stubborn and aggressive, Ahsoka also had a maternal side of her personality, quickly becoming fond of Rotta, whom she affectionately nicknamed "Stinky".

Although Ahsoka treated her enemies with disdain, she secretly respected the fighting prowess of Asajj Ventress and General Grievous who influenced her to start learning Jar'Kai. Tom disapproved of the fact that Ahsoka had started using the signature fighting style of two of their enemies, but Ahsoka actually believed that two lightsabers were better than one.

Tom Norton
Ahsoka had a very close bond with Tom Norton and they did almost everything together. Though they teased each other from time to time they rarely fell out with each other. Tom was kind to Ahsoka when they first met and helped her with her training, earning her friendship in return. The two of them trained and studied together and sometimes played pranks on the Jedi Masters. They were very loyal to each other and Tom even developed romantic feelings for the Togruta but Ahsoka didn't return his feelings until she was older.

Tom and Ahsoka kissed for the first time during the crisis with the Blue Shadow Virus and for some reason Tom's kiss briefly allowed Ahsoka to regain consciousness. Ahsoka struggled with her feelings for a short time but after speaking with Plo Koon she came to terms with them. Ahsoka thought she was falling in love with Tom but Plo pointed out that just because she felt that way now, it didn't guarantee that she'd feel that way for the rest of her life.

When Ahsoka was turned to the Dark Side by the Son, she turned against Tom, thinking that he only loved her because of her physical appearance. When she duelled against Tom and he told her everything else he loved about her, Ahsoka, who was deeply submerged in the Dark Side, thought he was lying and instead of softening she simply grew more aggressive. However after stabbing Tom in the stomach, she felt his pain through their Force Bond and was overwhelmed by shame and grief, managing to break out of the Son's control, which the Son had thought was impossible. Ahsoka was so ashamed and full of grief that she said she would kill herself if Tom died because of her, and she meant it. Fortunately the Daughter decided to sacrifice her remaining Life Force to keep Tom alive.

Plo Koon
Ahsoka had a close bond with Plo Koon who was the person who found her and brought her to the Jedi Temple. Plo sometimes gave Ahsoka and Tom some private training and enjoyed spending time with them. Ahsoka considered Plo to be like a father to her. She was very worried about Plo when his fleet was destroyed by the Malevolence but her Force Bond with the Jedi Master allowed her to find him. Plo nicknamed Ahsoka "Little Soka" as a sign of affection.

Ahsoka trusted Plo so much that she admitted to him that she thought she was falling in love with Tom Norton. Plo helped her come to terms with her feelings and told her that he did not disapprove of romantic relationships. Plo also kept her and Tom's relationship a secret, even from his fellow Jedi Council members.

Anakin Skywalker
Ahsoka had a close bond with her master Anakin Skywalker and was proud to be the apprentice of the supposed Chosen One. Though Anakin was at first unwilling to take a Padawan they became very close within one day. Ahsoka adopted an informal attitude with Anakin nicknaming him 'Skyguy' though as she grew more mature she abandoned the nickname. Because of her snippy and feisty personality Anakin nicknamed her 'Snips'. Ahsoka was very worried about her Master when he was badly injured during the battle of Quell and was reluctant to leave him.

Captain Rex
Ahsoka took a liking to Captain Rex and was perhaps the only person who could bring out Rex's softer side. During the battle of Ryloth, Rex comforted her about the destruction of her Clone Squadron and was perhaps the only clone who had any confidence in her leadership abilities. Rex was also more relaxed and casual when he was with Ahsoka and even admitted that he sometimes had doubts about his own leadership skills.

Lightsaber training
Despite her age Ahsoka was an extremely skilled Lightsaber duellist and her preferred style was the unorthodox Shien style. Ahsoka was more skilled in the use of Shien than Tom Norton and almost always defeated him when they both used the reverse grip in sparring, though they were evenly matched when using the standard grip. She was also skilled at Ataru and Djem So and received basic training in Niman. She was very agile and used her agility to try and exhaust her opponents and dodge attacks she didn't block. Ahsoka was also known to use a combination of Shien and Ataru, sometimes using acrobatic swordplay while holding her lightsaber in reverse grip at the same time. Ahsoka's lightsaber skills were advanced enough for her to defeat three magnaguards single handed and hold her own against Asajj Ventress and General Grievous.

Ahsoka later started learning Jar'Kai, wielding a Shoto along with her Lightsaber. She first used Jar'Kai during her mission to rescue Tom from Cad Bane, using his lightsaber along with her own before giving it back to him when she found him. Ahsoka later built a Shoto and began proper training in the dual blade style. She became skilled at Jar'Kai in a very short time, being able to defeat Tom in sparring and almost kill him after being turned to the Dark Side by Son, despite the fact that she'd only built the Shoto about three weeks earlier.

Force powers
According to Plo Koon Ahsoka had the potential to become an extremely powerful Jedi. Her connection to the Force was a powerful one, one of the strongest in the Order, though because of her young age she hadn't mastered her Force powers to her highest degree. However she could use it to perform Force Jump and other acrobatics. Ahsoka was also skilled in the use of Telekinesis and during the battle of Christophsis she was able to use Telekinesis to pull a large wall down on top of a group of droids that had surrounded Anakin Skywalker. Ahsoka was also adept at using the Force push power and during her fight with the Akul on Shilli Ahsoka displayed the ability to use a Force push which was powerful enough to throw the huge Akul off her when it tried to pin her down. Ahsoka later used a strong Force push to rescue Luminara Unduli from Asajj Ventress.

Ahsoka also possessed a powerful Force Sense, being able to sense Plo Koon after his fleet was destroyed by the Malevolence (although this was partially because of her Force Bond with the Jedi Master) and the children that were kidnapped by Cad Bane. Although Ahsoka could "follow" a Force Bond, she was not able to form them as quickly as Tom and it took several years for her Bond with Plo Koon to become strong enough to sense his presence during the Malevolence crisis. Ahsoka also learned how to use Jedi Mind Tricks, although she had not mastered the ability.

Ahsoka also had limited telepathic abilities, being able to occasionally speak to Tom with her mind. However so far they have never been able to say more than two words to each other when speaking telepathically. Tom was usually the one who started this telepathic contact since his natural talent for forming Force Bonds gave him more talent with the ability.

Other abilities
Because she was a Togruta Ahsoka possessed great visual-spatial awareness. She used this to great effect during the battle of Christophsis, toppling a wall on top of Anakin Skywalker and a number of droids he was fighting, and timing it so that Skywalker was cleared by a broken window gap in it, while the droids were crushed. Her montrals picked up sounds and the sound would vibrate within her montrals acting like a kind of radar that told her where something was coming from, making it difficult (but not impossible) to sneak up on her or attack her from behind.

In addition Ahsoka learned a bit of hand to hand combat from Plo Koon, and was capable of defeating Cad Bane easily, although Bane was only faking his defeat and took advantage of her overconfidence in order to capture her. Despite her small size, Ahsoka was stronger than she looked, being capable of easily flipping Bane over her shoulder. Plo also taught her how to fly and she was a talented pilot, although she thought that Anakin didn't like her flying, even though her style of aerial combat was very similar to his; reckless and unpredictable.
