Jyuria Song

Jyuria Song was a female Jedi Knight during the. She often struggled with her nature as a member of what was widely considered by the galaxy to be the hedonistic Zeltron species and her desire to overcome emotions as demanded of a Jedi by the.

Early life
Jyuria song was discovered on Zeltros by the when she was only five weeks old. The Dark Woman described Jyuria's mother as "a party girl who knew she wasn't ready to raise a child." This being the case the wandering Jedi had little trouble convincing Jyuria's mother that her child would be best off in the care of the. After dropping the child off at the Jedi Temple the Dark Woman returned to her work.

Adolescence (32 BBY–22 BBY)
"Growing up the place we most often saw Zeltron women was wearing bikinis in ads for . That is one of the reasons Jyuria tries so hard to cultivate modesty as a virtue."

Padawan
At the age of thirteen, Jyuria was selected by the aging Duros Jedi Tolan Hing to become his Padawan. Hing held the title of Master of Lightsabers at the Jedi Temple and was the Order's leading expert on the construction of lightsabers. Hing had not taken a Padawan for many years but claimed he sensed not just a potentially fine Jedi in the young Zeltron but also a budding Jedi Artisan as well.

Mission to Tatooine
''Tatooine? It's a soulless rock with filled with nothing but lowlifes and sand. It's debatable which is worse.'' - Anakin Skywalker

In 24 BBY Jyuria and her master, accompanied by A'Sharad Hett, traveled to Tatooine in search of a Black Sun operative suspected of carrying out a bombing on Nubia.

Batle of Geonosis
This is just the beginning!

- Count Dooku

In 22 BBy Jyuria and Hing were members of the Jedi strike force who went to Genosis to rescue fellow Jedi Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker as well as Senator Padme Amidala. Assigned to the space team, Jyuria pleaded with her master to be allowed to join the team that would be attacking the arena directly in order to personally aid in rescuing Skywalker, whom she considered a friend. Hing would not be moved, however, and still uncharacistically seething, Jyuria reluctantly obayed.

Under the leadership of Adi Gallia and the Dark Woman the space strike team battled droid fighters in the asteroid belt. Jyuria proved herself a capable fighter pilot in the battle but did suffer a fractured wrist due to a lucky shot from a droid fighter.

Adult life (22 BBY–?)
"Jyuria Song, by the right of the Council, by the will of the Force, I dub thee, Jedi...Knight of the Republic."

- Yoda, 22 BBY

The Clone Wars
Jyuria was awarded Knighthood in 22 BBY. Despite strong misgivings about Jedi serving as generals, she took to her role as a military leader without complaint.

Order 66
"The time has come. Execute Order 66."

- Palpatine, 19 BBY

Jyuria survived Order 66 thanks to being on an undercover missing on the Outer Rim world of Phaeda. However, before she was able to flee Phaeda the clone squad she'd been in command of caught up with her and she was forced to kill the very troops she'd once led and come to care for.

Jyuria was on her way back to the Temple in a stolen fighter when she heard Yoda's order to go into hiding. Ditching her fighter she decided to flee to her homeworld of Zeltros thinking that her birth world's long history of overcoming invasions would help keep her safe. While slowly working her way to Zeltros Jyuria constantly looking for information on or contact from other Jedi survivors. About a month after Order 66 she made contact with her friend and fellow Knight Bultar Swan who invited her to the Conclave on Kessel. Though desperate to be with fellow Jedi again Jyuria chose to heed Yoda's orders but asked that Swan contact her there later.

Shortly after the galactic media reported that a group of Jedi "insurgents" had been killed on Kessel by Darth Vader. Bulter Swan was among the fatalities.

Powers and Abilities
Jyuria was a practitioner of the Shien style of Form V. She disdained the use of the reverse grip when practicing Shien seeing it as needlessly flashy. While she mastered the style as part of her path to Knighthood, Jyuria dreamed of someday being acknowledged as not simply a master of Shien but the master of Shien. This goal was not unlike how many in the Order regarded Obi-Wan Kenobi as the most skilled living practitioner of Soresu.
