Rianna Xi

Rianna Xi was a fallen Jedi Knight and Dark Jedi who operated during the time between the Invasion of Naboo and the Great Jedi Purge.

Early life and Jedi Training
Rianna Xi was born on a mining colony on the planet of Bespin; the daughter of two miners, Jeric and Melia Xi, she was soon identified as being Force-sensitive and was brought to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant for training not long before she was two years old. Like all Younglings at the Temple, she was raised away from her family and has no memories of her life before entering the Temple.

Her early training as a Youngling was fairly uneventful. It was soon made evident that Rianna did not possess a temperament ideal for one training to be a Jedi; she was quick to anger and very stubborn, and even from a young age had a ruthless streak in her. She also was very shy and largely kept to herself; she had few friends as a child because of this. Her training was unremarkable and as most people do, she excelled in some parts of her training, but did less than great at other parts. Rianna's main prowess lay in her fighting ability - she especially excelled in lightsaber training. She found much of the training to learn to better use the Force boring, however, and thus her grasp of the Force was not nearly as good as it could have been.

Shortly before she turned 13, Rianna was taken as a Padawan learner by a Jedi Knight, Myraline Kiros. By now, Rianna had become a sullen, temperamental, and moody teenager who rarely got along with anyone else. She also, due to her nature and her lack of desire to learn to better control the Force, had become a target of some of the crueler Younglings and Padawans, who would taunt her, telling her that she shouldn't have been trained at all and that she would never finish her training and become a Jedi. She became even more withdrawn than she was before, and frequently argued and fought with others, even her Master.
