Nellith Solo (HotJ)

Nellith Solo was born in 46 ABY to Kira Kenobi and Ben Solo. Solo was trained in the ways of the Jedi starting in 45.5 ABY by Luke Skywalker, Solo's great-uncle. Solo was very enthusiastic about the Jedi path she was set upon and actively chased it. She was assigned to Tenelle Arranda as a Padwan in 55 ABY, and quickly proved her mastery of the Force. In 60 ABY, Solo and Arranda visited the planet Korriban on a mission to investigate dark side activity there, and ran into a dark Jedi. Arranda sacrificed herself, killing the dark Jedi in the process and allowing Solo to escape. Solo lost a hand during the mission due to her poor swordsmanship.

In 60 ABY, Solo was forced to take a vacation from the Jedi and restricted from use of the Force by her parents. During this period she visited the water world of Naboo and learned about her great-grandmother. She was also propositioned by the Queen of Naboo at this time.

Early Childhood
Solo was born in 46 ABY and raised by her parents, Kira Kenobi and Ben Solo. Her parents kept her on Anch-To so they could remain active Jedi Masters in the Order. Solo was first trained by her great-uncle, Luke Skywalker. The two developed a close bond that Solo had with no other.

Solo was also best friends with Lelila Tico, daughter of Resistance heroes Finn and Rose Tico. The two girls dreamed of becoming Jedi Knights.

Solo liked making her model ships fly with the Force and reenacting historical battles with them.

Jedi Apprenticeship
Solo was first apprenticed to Tenelle Arranda in 55 ABY, after her ninth birthday, despite concerns from her parents, especially Kenobi, that she was too young to be a Padawan.

Solo displayed prowess with the Force, and showed potential to become a Jedi Knight at the age of 14.

In 60 ABY, Solo and Arranda investigated dark side activity on Korriban and first encountered the Knights of the Bogan. A Bogan Knight attacked Arranda and Solo. Solo lost her hand in this duel and Arranda sacrificed herself, killing the Knight in the process, so that Solo could live and escape.

Forced Vacation
Solo was forced by her parents to take two weeks off and was forbidden to use the Force during this time, a sentence Solo found worse than death. Kenobi and Solo took Solo to Naboo to meet her cousins there, and she took a tour of the palace, led by Queen Micaela Dieciembré herself.

Sensing a presence similar to that of the Bogan Knight she encountered, Solo separated herself from the group and tried to follow it. She was stopped and led back to the group by an apparition of her great-grandmother, Padmé Amidala. When Dieciembré found her, she gave Solo her comm frequency, requesting that she call her for a date.

Personality and Traits
Solo was a pretty girl who strongly resembled her great-grandmother. She dressed modestly and comfortably, and seemed to take preference towards skirts. Solo was a compassionate, brave individual with a charming sense of humor. She was unable to confront the death of Arranda and often acted as if it never happened. She also was greatly discomforted by others comparing her to her ancestors.

Equipment
Solo wielded a purple-bladed saber staff and carried a DL-44, like her paternal grandfather, Han Solo, and her maternal grandmother. She also carried around a multi-tool for usage in tight situations.

Skills and Abilities
Solo had a strong presence in the Force even before her birth, according to Kenobi. She could sense others around her in the Force and developed a strong intuition for it. She was also a good cook, and enjoyed being in the kitchen.

Kira Kenobi
Of her two parents, Solo was closest to her mother. Kenobi inspired Solo greatly to become a Jedi, and the two had a strong Force bond because of Solo's pre-birth presence in the Force. Kenobi taught Solo the importance of food, and also mechanics. Kenobi saw Solo not as an extension of herself or a combination of herself and Ben Solo, but rather as her own terrifying entity.

Kenobi resented, however, the fact that Solo could not be raised as a normal girl, because of the terrible burden of the Skywalker lineage and its effect on Ben.

Ben Solo
Solo and her father were not close at all. Solo did not take after her father very much, making it difficult for them to understand each other. Ben Solo saw his daughter as an extension of himself, and treated her as he wished his parents had at her age, by giving her a way out of the Jedi, something that Solo did not appreciate and strained their relationship further.

Luke Skywalker
Solo was closest with her great-uncle. She found a lot of similarities between herself and Skywalker, and they understood each other very well, making it easier for a close relationship to bloom. She complained about her parents to Skywalker, and he would explain the rationale behind them. He also encouraged her Jedi career, realizing it was more important to Solo than either of her parents knew.

Maré Naberrie
Solo and Naberrie became friends during Solo's trip to Naboo. Solo liked Naberrie's more active attitude, compared to the rest of her political family.

Micaela Dieciembré
The Queen of Naboo expressed romantic interest in Solo during the palace tour and revealed her true identity to her. Solo returned some of those feelings, but the relationship never progressed much further than a mutual infatuation.
