Jaina Solo (SGCW)

"That kid can fly."

- Han Solo

Jaina Solo was an ace pilot who was dedicated to a life of service. The only daughter of Leia Organa and Han Solo, elder sister of Jedi Knights Jacen and Anakin Solo, and granddaughter of Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala, Jaina inherited a great mix of Force sensitivity, piloting and mechanical affinity, and diplomatic skill. While her brothers attended their uncle Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy, Jaina opted out, preferring to follow in her parents' footsteps, although she did develop her abilities to a small degree by association. Over time, Jaina accepted Mara's proposal to become her Jedi apprentice, and worked with her on Karrde's crew. After completing her training, Jaina returned home to decide what to do with her life. Although Leia recognized that her daughter inherited her political acumen, Jaina grew frustrated with the bickering and hidden agendas of the New Republic senators. Preferring the straightforward nature of the military, with set assignments and hierarchy of command, Jaina joined the New Republic Defense Fleet as a starfighter pilot. Over time, she was transferred to Wraith Squadron.

Personality and Traits
"Well, what are we waiting for?"

- Jaina Solo's childhood catchphrase.

Jaina was known for being more like her father than her other siblings, with her aptitude for mechanics and piloting, as well as demonstrating some of Han's more impulsive and stubborn characteristics: their reckless confidence, fearlessness and courage, as well as the same wry wit and sardonic humor. On the other hand, Jaina's maternal grandfather Anakin Skywalker also displayed these characteristics. Jaina inherited her mother's work ethic, her penchant for leadership and tendency to shy away from use of the Force. As Jaina became older, many noted she could act like Leia in an instant. She shared a bond with her twin brother Jacen that had been forged during their growth together in the womb. By the time of the Second Galactic Civil War, Jaina had become an excellent pilot. She was typically cool and calm during battle.

Leia felt that Jaina shied away from the Force both to prove that she didn't need it, in comparison to Jacen who relied heavily upon it, and because she'd inherited part of Leia's fear of it. Han also noted that once Jacen started focusing on improving his Force abilities, Jaina felt left out, which easily could've converted into bitterness.

Before entering the New Republic Defense Fleet, Jaina had advanced enough in her study of the Force to construct her own lightsaber. Because of her training with Mara, during which Mara noted that Jaina was a natural at lightsaber combat, Jaina was now adept at fighting on the ground and in space. She was also trained in the use of a Jedi healing trance and could enter a Force bond with her brothers, although she wasn't the equal to them in terms of Force powers due to her shortened amount of study. Jaina came to view the Force as a tool, another source of energy to use.

Aliases and Nicknames
Sticks was Jaina's callsign in Rogue Squadron, both due to the lightsaber she carried and her skill with an X-wing's control stick.
