Ahsoka Tano (Powerstaark)

Ahsoka Tano was a Togruta Jedi Padawan who was assigned to Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars. Ahsoka was discovered by Jedi Master Plo Koon and was Tom Norton's closest friend.

Childhood
Ahsoka Tano was discovered by Plo Koon during a mission on Shili. The exact circumstances during which she was discovered is unknown. Although she was three years old at the time, which was normally considered too old to join the Jedi Order, Plo sensed she had the potential to become a very powerful Jedi so he and the rest of the Jedi Council allowed her to join the Jedi Order. Ahsoka became very close to Master Koon considering him to be like a father to her. Though she had vague memories of her mother back on Shili her father had died before she was born.

Ahsoka started her Jedi training at four years old being put into the bear clan. She met fellow Jedi Padawan Tom Norton during her first lesson with Master Yoda and they quickly became very close friends. At some point Ahsoka was bullied by a boy named Abron Strife. This may have contributed to Tom's dislike of Strife though he'd never been fond of him in the first place.

Ahsoka and Tom did almost everything together. They trained together and sparred often. They liked exploring history archives learning about some of the ancient Jedi and Sith lords such as Darth Bane or Vandare Tokare. They also went swimming in the room of a thousand mountains and once they got in trouble with Saesee Tiin for swimming at night time. Ahsoka and Tom sometimes played pranks on the Jedi Masters. Ahsoka also befreinded a nautolan Padawan named Evra Talisman though she was nowhere near as close to him as she was to Tom. She developed a rivalry with a human girl called Lyra Champ.

Ahsoka watched Tom's first fighting tournament and then joined in the second.where she lost in the first round to Lyra Champ. The year after she defeated Lyra and another Padawan and fought Tom. Tom managed to defeat her but not without considerable difficulty. Ahsoka saw little of Tom after that as he was busy being trained as a Padawan by Carmen Conrose

Over the next few months Ahsoka trained vigorously fighting with some of the best Padawan's in the Temple and defeating most of them. Her skills impressed the Jedi Masters enough for them to promote her to Padawa despite not having won a fighting tournament or been chosen by another Jedi during one of the Temples Choosing Ceremonies. Before becoming the Padawan of Anakin Skywalker Ahsoka was assigned to a Jedi named Jack Kalbone.

Mission to Shilli
Ahsoka's first mission happened to be on her home planet Shilli. General Grievous had taken over one of the villages but fortunately the Jedi heard about it before Grievous could spread out his forces. Ahsoka briefly met her mother, Ariana before joining Jack in an attack on a village the droids were using as a base.

During the fight Ahsoka and Jack were forced to duel four magnaguards. Jack defeated his and went after Grievous who he had seen standing beside a hut but not actually fighting. Ahsoka slashed off a magnaguards head but she didn't know that magnaguards could keep fighting even without their heads and was shocked from behind. Ahsoka was almost knocked unconscious by the shock but she was more resilient than she looked and managed to roll out of the way of the magnaguards staffs before they finished her off. She managed to defeat the guards with some help from her clones but once the battle was over they discovered Jack Kalbone's dead body on a landing platform. The Jedi had been killed in a duel with Grievous who had then fled the system knowing that there were too many clone troopers for him to defeat alone. There were few Republic casualties in that battle.

As Ahsoka and the clones headed back to the village where Ahsoka's mother lived they heard screams and roars and saw a vicious Akul thundering through the village. Ahsoka attacked and single handedly killed the Akul by stabbing it in the brain with her lightsaber. She was awarded an Akul tooth headress for her achievment and she and her troops spent the night in the village.

The next day Ahsoka said goodbye to her mother and went back to Coruscant.

A couple of days later Ahsoka was reunited with Tom who had unfortunately lost his Master during a duel with Sora Bulq on Falleen. The two Padawans were delighted to see each other and together they went to Christophsis where they would meet their new Masters, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-wan Kenobi.

Personality and traits
Ahsoka had a very close bond with Tom Norton and they did almost everything together. They became as close as brother and sister perhaps closer since they almost never fought like real siblings did. Tom even developed a crush on the Togruta but Ahsoka didn't return his feelings until she was older. She was also close friends with Plo Koon considering him to be like a father to her.

Ahsoka was very mischivous as a youngling and was known to play pranks of the Jedi Masters along with Tom. She was determined to become a powerful Jedi and like Tom she was dedicated to her training though she also liked to have fun and never got too caught up in training. Ahsoka was known to sulk occasionally when things didn't go her way and she sulked when Tom was allowed into a fighting tournament but she wasn't. She was very headstrong and was considered a suitable Padawan for the equally headstrong Anakin Skywalker. Like Tom she rather enjoyed combat, liking to show off her skills.

Powers and abilities
According to Plo Koon Ahsoka had the potential to become a very powerful Jedi. Her connection to the Force was a strong one and she used it to perform Force Jump and other acrobatics. During her fight with the Akul on Shilli Ahsoka displayed the ability to use a Force push which was powerful enough to send the huge Akul flying. She then finished it by stabbing it in the brain. During the battle of Christophsis she was able to use telekinesis to pull a large wall down on top of a group of droids that had surrounded Anakin Skywalker.

Ahsoka was skilled with a lightsaber and her prefered style was the unorthodox Shien style. She was also skilled at Ataru and her proficiency with the two styles even allowed her to combine them together by using acrobatics and the reverse grip at the same time. Under Anakin Skywalker she also began to learn Djem So. She was very agile and used her speed to avoid attacks that she didn't block.

In addition Ahsoka learnt a bit of hand to hand combat from Plo Koon.

Because she was a Togruta Ahsoka possessed great visuospatial awareness. She used this to great effect during the Battle of Christophsis, toppling a wall on top of Anakin Skywalker and a number of droids he was fighting, and timing it so that Skywalker was cleared by a broken window gap in it, while the droids were crushed. This also allowed her to "hear" things coming towards her making it difficult to sneak up on her.
