Tori Wan-Yu

"I will never be afraid to fight! I have the force, prepare yourself!"

Tori Wan-Yu was a human female Jedi Knight and later Master, born 720 years before the battle of Yavin.

Biography
Tori Wan-Yu was left on the doorstep of the Kamparas Jedi Training Center.

Early life
Tori Wan-Yu was raised and trained in the training center until she was 10 years old where she underwent the Initiate Trials.

Initiate Trials
Tori underwent the Initiate Trials. To pass and earn a Jedi Master. Each trial was fairly easy for her until the last which was a choice to decide a convicted innocence or guilt. Evidence was provided though the decision was unclear, but by using the force she discovered that this wasn't the man who should be charged for murder. The Jedi commemorated her on this achievement for no other child was able to depict through the force, she graduated and sought a Jedi Master to teach her.

Lightsaber Tournament
It wasn't easy for Tori to find a master, many Jedi Masters weren't taking Padawans at the time, and the few that would already had padawans. Tori knew that the only way to find a master was through the Lightsaber Tournament. The Tournament took place in multiple of locations for a duel, zero-gravity, underwater, and even falling in mid-air although these were done in separate chambers. Winners would gain padawanship and a guaranteed master, this years' was none other then Master Yoda. Now driven by hope and anxiety for reaching first, Tori fought her way through the tournament and eventually reached second to the final duel. The master the winner shall receive was to be present when the duel took place in order to choose the obvious victor or the loser of the battle, either way the winner gets padawanship. Tori fought valiantly eventually won. Yoda then took Tori under his wing.

Young Padawan
Soon after the tournament, Tori and Yoda traveled to a planet to have on last test of combat. Yoda told her that the test wasn't a life or death one, instead a test of limits for the ten year old. They arrived to the planet then began the long hike to the compound, but were interrupted by a gang of bandits. Yoda "convinced" them of leaving them, it was there and then Tori realized that the Galaxy was much more different from the training center. They eventually arrived at the compound and immediately began her testing of endurance, strength, combat style, and force abilities and improved them largely throughout her time on Fleucia. Yoda then decided that there would be one final test in strength and combat, Tori would have to duel him. Tori honestly expected to overpower Yoda easily due to his size and Yoda knew this, and the duel ensued between the two. Tori went on the offensive but Yoda easily parried the constant barrage of attacks but Tori was faster and stronger then he expected then pressed on her attacks but then quickly lost to Yoda when he over came his surprise. Yoda congratulated the girl, but told her that only going on the offensive would get him killed. And to never underestimate her opponent.

Jedi Knight
After many years of training and going on missions with Master Yoda, Tori would become an honorary Jedi Knight.

Personality and traits
While Tori's Jedi training was meant to bring out the good side of her personality, she was also plagued by several more aggressive tendencies. When in combat, she displayed determination to win, very different from her master's disposition and often spoke down to others in battle, behaving as if she was superior to them, again differing greatly from the attitude of her master. That extended to her behavior towards enemies and even allies even calling her own master Yoda a "snot-colored goblin". She was known to be quite aggressive in her postures and actions; willing to use terror and threats as a means to get information. Even though Tori obviously did not intend to follow through with any of these threats, her behavior caused concern on the part of the venerable Jedi Master Yoda, who felt Tori's actions were not in accordance with the Jedi way.

Combat skills & Lightsaber Training
Due to training with Master Yoda, Tori became a master in Lightsaber combat. Tori Wan-Yu was very skilled in lightsaber combat for someone of her age. She made use of the unorthodox reverse grip during combat, however she would utilize the standard grip at the insistence of her master. When she was made a Padawan by Yoda, she was already proficient in Form IV: Ataru and capable of doing so even in less than ideal positions. Tori's combat skills were clearly quite considerable, as she was able to defeat a group of droids single handed.
