Celine Mercy Sandfox

"She´s someone to protect, someone to follow ... and someone to love, Yeah."

- Waxer about Celine Sandfox Celine Mercy Sandfox was a Jedi during the time of the Clone Wars. She was a great Healer and always ready to play a Joke. She was a Member of the Sandfox-Clan, gifted with the powers of healing and listening. Side by Side with her best friend, the She-Wolf Julara Wolfheart, she trained as the Padawan of Fox Damaron, who teached and guided her for six years and became a Father for her. She loved him, but couldn´t prevent him from dieing during the Battle of Geonosis. Celine was send to Obi-Wan Kenobi to finish her training and help him leading the 212. Celine lived and fought Side to Side with the Soldiers and became their friend. Especially the Scout Waxer became her Partner and was always on her side to support her. There was no Day they was separatet, no Threat they didn´t go through together, no Battle they didn´t cover each other´s back. And slowly, during the first year of War, their bond of friendship became a deep, true love. Celine managed it to become friend with Kal Skirata and the Null-ARC´s, even if there was always some points they didn´t agree. Celine saved Fives from a deadly wound and reached a new level of her powers: she became a Six-tail.

After the War, Celine was unsure about her powers and felt like a part of her turned into a Monster. She and Waxer left Coroscant and returned to Celine´s Homeworld Ord Mantell, so Celine could learn from her great-grandmother, the only member of her clan who didn´t offend her. Celine also gave birth to her and Waxer´s daughter Lena. But both missed her friend and family, so they returned to Coroscant when Lena was one year old.

Early life
"I was a Child, Waxer. Of course I belived she would want me to stay."

- Celine to Waxer about her Mother

Celine was born by a five-tailed Kitsune of the Sandfox-Clan. She was raised with two older brothers who are told to be submissive because Celine was a Female. She never liked to order her brothers around. More than everything, she wanted to understand an learn as much as she could. Secretly she looked up to her brothers because of their digging skills. Early in her life, she showed great potential and powers. Celine could heal wounds, read the nature around her like a book and had instinkts, which exceeded even them of older members of her Clan. Celine loved to just lay down on a rock outside of the Den and listen to the energy field around her. Her mother, who always wanted to get a higher rank in the Clan, didn´t now how to deal with her dreaming, gently daughter and tried to control her. The young Foxgirl was unsure and became nervous and cautious. She tried to escape the Den as often as she could. On one of this wanderings she met a Jedi, who made a layover at Ord Mantell after a Mission. He recognized that Celine was strong in the Force and had big potential to become a Jedi Healer. He asked her to come with him, but Celine hesitated. With the trust of a four years old daughter she believed that her mother would keep her. But her mother, not ready to deal any longer with her rebellious, freedom-loving daughter, yelled at her and called her a spineless, treacherous dog. This words broke the young Kitsune and nearly take away all of her courage. But she was curious of the Galaxy and the Force, so she left her Home, her Family and her Clan to use her powers for more.

Youngling
"Stop laughing! She is quit nice."

- Celine to Anakin Skywalker about Jocasta Nu

Celine was the first Kitsune who joined the Jedi Order, so the Masters were unsure about how to train her the right way. This fact ensured that nobody cared for her to show her how to tame her wild, uncontrollable, protectively and sometimes slightly aggressive Fox-Side of her Soul. Celine tried to learn the Rules and the philosophy of the Order, but she couldn´t control herself. She became quiet and a loner and liked to stay in the archives of the Temple and read the whole day. Even Jocasta Nu, who was known as not the most accessible, liked her and supported her studies. She telled Celine about Satele Shan, who was a Master with the douple-bladed Saber. Celine listend to her adult friend carafully and learned to follow her lessons. But except her, Celine was without friends and quite lonly. This changed as she met Julara Wolfheart during their gathering. They two girls get along very well and became best friends. Julara supported Celine during the following years and helped her to befriend with other Younglings. As Julara, she showed great talent with the Lightsaber, but couldn´t focus at one Style yet. Celine learned slowly the ways of the Order, but a part of her stayed wild and indipendent from the Jedi. She liked to stray around the Temple and sometimes the Senate Building. Together with Julara she startet to play jokes to the Rest of the Jedi, expecially the older Masters. But Celine still wasn´t as confident as she could and hated it to be in the center of attention. Her powers grew, but she had trouble to controll them. Also she was unsure on her Fox-paws and untrained by changing her Form. Only Julara gaved her the strengh she needed to proof herself in a tournament. She was 13 then, old enough to become a Padawan, but didn´t hope to get a Master. Who would want her?, she asked herself often this time.

First Masters
"They didn´t want to train me because of me. They just wanted to train the first Kitsune in the Jedi Order"

- Celine to Waxer

Her first Master wasn´t the best choice, but he was the only one who was willing to train her, so she obeyed him. But he forced her in a way she could barely understand and couldn´t follow, no matter how hard she tried. It felt impossible for the young Kitsune to tame her wild side, not in the way her Master wanted ist. Celine was still wild and followed her heart, but her Master punished her for this kind of thinking. He hold her back whenever she wanted to help others with her powers, even when it wasn´t part of their mission. But Celine wouldn´t stopp to use her powers to help them who needed her and gave everything to do good. Jocasta Nu, who was still her friend, confirmed her in this and allways stand on her side. Still, she trained her in locical thinking and told her about the history of the Order, the Republic and the Galaxy. She and Julara were the only one who stand with Celine. A half year her first Master tried to make a Jedi out of her, than he gave up. Celine blamed herself for failing, but her Friends tried hard to cheer her up. It didn´t worked completely, but it helped her. The Jedi Council decided to give her to another Master, who maked the same mistake. No matter how hard she tried, the young Kitsune couldn´t follow him. The „World between Dream and Reality“, a World wich she and Julara had created in their dreams, became her only safety. Again she became silent and didn´t belive in herself. Her second Master died during a Mission on Trandosha, when they fought a trandoshian Bounty Hunter. Because of her neglected training in her healing abilities, she couldn´t save him. Broken and captured in self-doubts, she returned to the Temple.
