Narasi Rican

Narasi Rican was a female  who lived during the. She was the apprentice of the Tirien Kal-Di.

Early Life
Narasi was not recruited in infancy, though she was guarded about the details of her youth. At the she was sorted into. She followed the stories of Jedi heroes in the field, including Mali Darakhan and Tirien Kal-Di.

Her instructors considered her a promising student, particularly Jedi Battlemaster Argus Z'dar. Despite her talents, her successful completion of the, and placing third in the in 1,390 BBY, she was not selected for a Padawan apprenticeship. Some Jedi, including Z'dar, believed Narasi was overlooked due to prejudice against Zygerrians. As time went on, Narasi herself began to fear she would be passed over and forced into the.

Tirien Kal-Di
In 1,389 BBY, when Narasi was thirteen, the Jedi Knight Tirien Kal-Di attended one of her lightsaber training sessions. She was overjoyed when Z'dar announced that she would be Tirien's Padawan, but over the next week she found her apprenticeship more challenging than she had expected; her master was very distant, and she feared he didn't like her.

Tirien and Narasi were sent to to protect Senator Glavial Iltek from a planned assassination at the behest of the Council of Five. Narasi felt closer to Tirien as they planned the mission when he stood up for her against Iltek's guards, who loathed her for being Zygerrian. However, while they managed to protect Iltek from a sniper, the mission went badly for Narasi. As Tirien chased the assassin, Iltek's guards assured her they could protect him and urged her to aid her master. Not realizing they simply wished to be rid of her, Narasi followed their advice, coming up Tirien as he was fending off four gunmen. Narasi killed an, but was shaken as his maimed corpse collapsed against her. Tirien killed the remaining gunmen as they tried to shoot her, but excoriated her for leaving Iltek. She returned to defend Iltek, holding off backup assassins until Tirien arrived and dispatched them, but she was hollowed by Tirien's accusation that two guards who had died in her absence were on her conscience for her failure to follow his command to protect the senator.

Powers and Abilities
Even when she was an adolescent, Argus Z'dar considered Narasi a skillful lightsaber combatant, and, observing her entire clan practicing, Tirien thought she was the star of the class. She was sufficiently talented to deflect blasterfire from both herself and Senator Iltek while under fire from four shooters.

Appearance and Personality
Like all Zygerrians, Narasi had prominent ears and spikes on her forehead. She had brown hair and bright blue eyes, and carried a blue-bladed lightsaber, a reflection of her ambition to become a. She spoke with a watered-down version of the normally rich Zygerrian accent, having lost much of hers due to living on Coruscant for much of her childhood.

As an Initiate, and into her Padawan years, Narasi was eager to serve and determined to please. However, she often took hurts personally, and was very guarded about her past.
