Pheuphalue Phon

== Section I: The Earliest Years ==

Pheuphalue, born 54 BBY to mother Phalufe and father Bronfin under the Phon family crest, was not like any other Bith. Born in the capital city of Weogar in the theater district, Pheuphalue made city news when it was discovered he was force sensitive. Once news left the system and made its way to Couriscanut, the Jedi, soon came knocking requesting to begin the process with Pheuphalue to train him in the ways of the force. Pheuhalues parents who had been only been parents for about 9 months were hesitant and did not want to lose their son. However they soon realized that it would be best for the overall well being of the galaxy if they let their son become a Jedi. The process would continue over the next six months with the Jedi occasionally showing up with special force toys and books for Pheuhalues parents to read to him. Nearing the age of one and a half, Pheuphalue, was just about ready to leave home and begin his life as a Jedi Youngling. The day finally came where Pheuhalue was to be taken. Only being one and a half years old he didn't understand what was going on but could tell that there was a somber feel in the room. The Jedi Master Bolla Ropal was dispatched from the Jedi Temple to come and collect Pheuphalue and take him to start his training. Master Ropal was the Jedi incharge of youngling adoption and was the person who took each youngling from their homes. During his visit master Ropal was in the room with the entire family of the new youngling and felt the presence on not one but two force sensitive younglings. Unbenounced to anyone there Pheuphalues cousin (son of Phalufe’s brother Phalon), Pheuphalan, was also force sensitive. This new discovery worried Pheuphalan’s parents and since he was a year younger than Pheuphalue they feared that he too could be taken away. Nearing the end of the day the family gathered for one last goodbye. Prior to this Master Ropal had spoken with Pheuphalans parents and convinced them as well to begin the adoption process. After the family finished saying their final goodbyes, Pheuphalue with only the cloths on his back and a stuffed Bantha toy, left with Master Ropal. Over the next year or so the the Jedi continued to visit preparing for the adoption of Pheuphalan into the order as well. Similarly to the final day of Pheuphalue on Bith, Pheuphalans parents gathered all the family for a farewell get together. However unlike most final goodbyes this one was different. Master Ropal managed to get the council's approval to take Pheuphalue along with him to adopt his cousin into the order. Now almost three years old, Pheuphalue who had become disciplined enough to no longer miss his family, came and shocked his relatives with his skills. The two family said their final goodbyes and wept softly as the Jedi Master took the newest generation of the Phon family crest.

== Section II: Youngling Years ==

Phuephalue spent the next seven and a half years as a Jedi Youngling and was popular with the masters for his dueling skills. Pheuphalue quickly became one of the top Younglings at the academy with some notable Jedi in his classes. These Jedi were a future master Kenobi and Luminara Unduli. Pheuphalue excelled best in the physical portions of his studies and while performing will in his schooling clearly showed his preference for saber dueling. Like all younglings Pheuphalue was taught in the ways of agile movement by Grand Master Yoda. The Grand Master noted in his logs that Pheuphalue expressed great ability for the force assisted leap as he would double the distance of most children in the class. Likewise in his lightsaber classes, Pheupahlue showed great prowess in his dueling and had many great opponents. Master Tera Sinube who directed the lightsaber training of younglings took careful notice of Pheuphalues fighting style. While he was not the best duelist of his class, which that title went to the young kenobi, he was the most agile and often used only one hand for dueling and the other to help with balance and for some more complex for attacks. Master Sinube who had instructed younglings for a very long time had yet to see a youngling take on form two the form of Makashi. For much of his time as a youngling, Pheuphalue, used this skill to his advantage to gain popularity with the masters and other saber instructors. He was even allowed to put together a demonstration with the young Kenobi where they dueled for the chancellor and some high ranking military officials. When it came to Pheuphalues book studies is where he began to fall back some. While still very bright and scoring well he had to work a little harder than some of the other younglings to keep such a strong grade. Coming from a Bith background Pheuphalue found it hard to focus in the classroom setting. This is because of the natural hyper attentiveness of the Bith species which made it very difficult for Pheuphalue to focus. This lack of attentiveness didn't hurt Pheuphalue to significantly since much of a younglings book studies involved a significant amount of physical demonstration. Pheuphalue continued his studies until it came time for the Gathering and his time of selection to become a padawan. Like any youngling Pheuphalue and his group of younglings ventured to Illum with their chaperone Padawan Learner Aayla Secura and Grand Master Yoda. Upon arrival the group ventured into the ice cave to begin the search for their crystal. Eventually breaking the group up the force slowly showed the right visions to each youngling to guide them towards their crystal. At first Pheupahlue was only seeing glimpses of a thin crystal in black and white and was not yet sure the color he would receive. As he marched closer to his crystal the force began to show him more and more about where his crystal is located and the color. The first colored image was a picture of himself running towards the crystal but the tunnel kept expanding preventing him from grabbing it. The crystal appeared to be pink in color which surprised him since had never heard of such a crystal. He continued to search for the crystal again being visited by the force. This time the vision was much more real and manifested itself as Darth Tenebrous attempting to turn Pheuphalue to the dark side. Darth Tenebrous offered him power and skill in the force for one promise. While most Jedi Younglings would have instantly said no, Pheuphalues natural interest in learning more led him to listen to the vision without instantly denying the request. Tenebrous asked that the youngling would listen to him as he sensed a darker presence within him a passion for equity; a passion not so different than the one he had for power. Being a sith lord it surprised Pheuphalue that Tenebrous would visit him but understood the feeling that he referenced. Pheuphalue couldn't help but realize that Tenebrous was also a Bith which is part of why he heard out the rest of his request. Tenebrous asked Pheuphalue to embrace the passion no matter the path it lead him on and to never act against it no matter the outcome. While any master would have advised Pheuphalue against making such an agreement his naivety and young age led him to believe that his passion would only help him to do good by the light side of the force. Once he agreed to to Tenebrouss’ request the vision vanished and a pink glow illuminated the end of the cavern tunnel. Pheuphalue walked to the end of the tunnel where his previously envisioned crystal was. He reached out with the force and grasped the crystal tight. He looked at it and put in his satchel. Venturing out of the cave no earlier than the rest of the younglings, Yoda, took a look at each crystal. When Pheuphalue presented his crystal to Master Yoda a look of trouble came across his face. Yoda called for Padawan Secura to watch the younglings as he took Pheuhpalue back to the temple in his shuttle. For the next many months his crystal and the story of how he retrieved it was questioned over and over again by the oldest and wisest masters. In fear of being evicted from the order, Pheupahlue, refused to tell the truth and instead took the path of uncertainty. Among the reviewing masters was Tera Sinube who petitioned the council to allow Pheuphalue to continue and become a Jedi Padawan. The council; which was fearful that the pink crystal indicated that Pheupahlue could turn to the dark side, decided that while they would allow Pheuphalue to become a padawan only under the apprenticeship of Master Sinube. Having trained Pheuphalue for much of his time as a youngling, Tera Sinube was more than happy to take Pheuphalue and make him his padawan.

== Section II: Padawan Life ==

From about the age of 11 to 17 Pheuphalue held the rank of padawan under Jedi Master Tera Sinube. These were some of the best years for Pheuphalue. It was during this time that he constructed his first lightsaber. At first he was not allowed to construct a saber since he and his story of the gathering were under review. In break of tradition Pheuphalue was still granted the rank of Padawan but had yet to craft a lightsaber. Within the first three months of becoming a padawan, his crystal was released and he was able to craft his first saber. Since Phephalue was a form two fighter a curved hilt was the best option for him. He settled on a curved metal hilt made of iron from a Bith forge. With dark brown accents and a circle opening at the end the lightsaber was regarded as a odd yet effective for form two single hand dueling. The circular opening at the base of the hilt allowed pheuphalue to grip the weapon at a very sharp angle and deal very difficult strike to defend against. After the construction of his lightsaber Pheuphalue continued to to learn under Master Sinube. Much of his time was spent helping the master with his investigations of underworld crime involving the major crime families. It wasn't till the age of 15 that Pheuphalue had even left Coruscant. He and his master went to Felucia to track down a fugitive member of the black sons. For the first time Pheuphalue encountered real resistance and had killed his first enemy. It was during this small skirmish that Pheuphalue realized what the deal that he made with Darth Tenebrous was all about. Pheupahlue and his master recovered the fugitive and brought him to justice. This experience away from Coruscant open Pheuphalues eyes to what he can do in the future. He continued to be the Padawan of Master Sinube for the few years working with him on almost every investigation. During this time he spent a significant amount of his time with other Padawans and Jedi stationed at the Temple or other military installations on Coruscant. Among these other Padawans was his cousin Pheuphalan who had a very similar experience with his lightsaber and was made the Padawan of Master Jocasta Nu. His crystal much like Master Windu's was purple but since the color was more common he was men with less resistance. However it was clear that the Phon clan was odd when it came to their Jedi family members since Pheuphalan had crafted a light pike.
