Arador Holst

"When you found me, I was a skinny child stranded on a desolate moonscape. Now I have a purpose, and I thank you for allowing me to find it."

- Arador, to Rey

Arador Holst was a Jedi Knight from the farming moon Raada. He first came into contact with the Resistance after they sought refuge in the ghost-town he lived in. Rey sensed his Force potential, and decided to take him under her wing as her Padawan, along with Dawnya Solo.

He and Dawnya became very close friends despite their polar opposite qualities. They eventually started a short-lived romantic relationship. Dawnya would later claim this to be an "experimental" phase for her, but the two remained close long after their breakup. After Dawnya's death, Arador was devastated, but remained level and ignored his instinct for revenge.

Years later, Arador would become a Jedi Master, and would take on the teenage Kirsten Fommae as his apprentice. He eventually married the former assassin Gita Samdio in 60 ABY.

Personality and traits
Arador was a kind, idealistic individual. He possessed an aura of purity, which not even the stone-hearted Dawyna Solo could resist. Despite his loving personality, Arador was also emotionally fragile. He had serious anxiety issues and would often suffer panic attacks in times of distress. He was bright, and always strived for the best possible outcome.

Powers and abilities
Arador is Force-sensitive. He wields the light side of the Force with ease. Although he is highly talented, his anxiety issues and pacifist values prevent him from being an effective combatant. He can barely hold a lightsaber without endangering himself.

He lets Dawnya handle the physical combat, while she relies on him spiritually.
