Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy

"Master Maruk? Master Maruk! Don't go, don't leave me!"

- Scout to Jai Maruk

Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy, better known by her nickname Scout, was a female Human Jedi Padawan during the time of the Clone Wars.

Biography
A native of Vorzyd V, Scout wielded a sky blue lightsaber. She was a pretty, red-haired girl with an athletic body. Her good looks resulted in fellow Padawan Whie Malreaux developing a crush on her. Her original mentor, Chankar Kim, was killed during the Clone Wars. After winning a fighting competition through creative, non-Force methods, Scout was hesitantly taken as Jedi Master Jai Maruk's Padawan. Sadly, Maruk died a short while after at the hands of Asajj Ventress while he and Scout were on their way to Vjun with Master Yoda, Maks Leem, and Leem's Padawan Whie Malreaux on a secret mission to rendezvous with Count Dooku.

On their mission to Vjun, she and Whie were captured by Asajj Ventress. Asajj held Scout in a tight Force grip, and tried to tempt Whie to the dark side. Ventress knew of the boy's feelings for Scout, and used it to ignite Whie's darker side by telling him to kiss her. In the end, Whie controlled his inner emotions and resisted the dark side. Soon, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker arrived to rescue Yoda and the Padawans.

Powers and abilities
While Scout was somewhat weak in the Force, she made up for it by becoming highly skilled in lightsaber combat and unarmed combat &mdash; not to mention a willingness to not always follow the proper rules of conduct. She also had a natural Force ability where, during sparring or fighting, she would sometimes have a flash where she knew what her opponents were going to do next before they even knew it themselves. This ability may have been related to Battle Precognition.

Behind the scenes
While Scout's final fate remains unknown, there have been rumors. The most popular amongst the fanon communities (at least until definitively stated otherwise) is that she escaped with the small group of younglings and Padawans who later relocated to the planet Belsavis under the care of the Ho'Din Jedi Master Plett. Other young survivors amongst this group include Lagan and Roganda Ismaren.
