Diala Passil - Haunted Exile

Due to her youth and inexperience at the onset of the Clone_Wars, Diala Passil had only recently ascended to the rank of a Padawan learner halfway through of the galaxy spanning conflict. In her first battle, under the direct supervision of her Jedi preceptor, Shu Yen, both Jedi were tasked with beating back the CIS presence on Yavin_IV. Over the course of the many weeks, and the multitude of battles on the planet, the Jedi pair would come to be quick allies. Just when final victory seemed to be assured against the Seperatist, those among the Jedi Order would sense a dark, galaxy-spanning, disturbance in the force. In a horrible turn of events, the Clone_Trooper battalion that had served Diala's master for years would betray the Jedi under the direct command of the newly christened Sith_Apprentice, Darth Vader, to enact the dreaded Order_66. Shu Yen, in a last act of bravery, knowing his wounds were too great, stood alone against the troopers and their new overlord; his sacrifice would allow Diala time to escape with her life. Out of respect for her master but with great regret in her heart, she promptly retreated from the engagement. Unable to communicate what has befallen, due to a broken Holoprojector, Diala knew she had to work fast to warn her fellows around the galaxy. After days of both hiding from, and outrunning, her now treasonous clone battalion, Diala would eventually find, and commandeer, a space craft; jettisoning into hyperspace to find sanctum elsewhere in the galaxy. Tuning into Jedi Comms, Diala began preparing a dispatch regarding her recent predicaments, destined for the Jedi_High_Council at the Temple on Coruscant, but was horrified to instead receive a dire message: "This is Master Obi-Wan_Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi_Order and the Galactic_Republic have fallen, with the dark shadow of the Galactic_Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi: trust in The_Force. Do not return to the Temple. That time has passed, and our future is uncertain. Avoid Coruscant. Avoid detection. Be secret... but be strong. We will each be challenged: our trust, our faith, our friendships. But we must persevere and, in time, I believe a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you… always." Devastated by recent events, Diala drifted in space for a time to gather her thoughts. After contemplating her next move, Diala had an epiphany: she recalled that the distant and desolate planet, Jedha, was a great bastion of Jedi knowledge and teachings. In the hopes to completing her training, and keeping herself hidden from the eyes of the Empire, she would pour over the Jedi Holocron enshrined in temples across NiJedha, the planet's capital city, to gain a greater understanding of the force.
Though Diala’s studies were fulfilling, the solitude she now faced slowly began to take its toll; she often dreamed of reintegrating herself into the society around her. In all her time spent on the planet, no sign of another Jedi survivor ever appeared; causing her to feel bereft and sequestered. Thus, she could occasionally be seen walking amongst the varied and unique peoples of this lonely planet; taking in the sights and sounds of the civilization she wished to someday join. Life continued on in this way for a few quiet months, with Diala only becoming more talented in her ability to harness the force. One day while wandering the streets of the planet's capital city, Diala began to hear rumors of an Imperial Inquisition of the Galactic_Empire, trained in the arts of Lightsaber combat, and the Darker abilities of_the_Force; these Inquisitors were said to be devastatingly powerful, and actively stalking all remaining force users across the galaxy. Diala began preparing herself for this inevitability after having Foreseen future Events during her meditations; a day would soon come for these vicious Jedi hunters to make their presence known.
At the behest of a Grand_Moff of the Empire, The Grand_Inquisitor, alongside his brothers and sisters, and a Legion of Stormtroopers, swiftly moved in to conquer and occupy Jedha. Purges began to occur all across Nijedha, quickly transforming Holy City into a bloody battleground. The Empire began to focus all efforts on confiscating the many Kyber_Crystals, Literature, Jedi Holocron, and various treasures from the Holy Temple_of_the_Kyber; killing or ejecting its remaining Guardians_of_the_Whills into the streets. Citizens ran in fear as the Imperials Blockaded the planet from the greater galaxy, instituted martial law, lead witch hunts for Jedi sympathizers, and blatantly murdered civilian dissidents. Soon enough a trader who had spoken with Diala a few times in the past would leak information to the Inquisition of Diala's potential identity as a Jedi. With this Intel, The Grand Inquisitor would have enough cause to lead a manhunt; he was determined to see to Diala’s capture, or death, personally. Overwhelmed and chased throughout the city by the members of the Inquisitorious, Diala was barely able to escape with her life. Upon finally reaching a spacecraft she had once procured in the event she would have to flee the planet, Diala was confronted by the Grand Inquisitor himself; a desperate duel promptly ensued. Outmatched, heavily wounded, and on her heels, it took all Diala had to survive the fierce attack; yet she was determined to not let her life end here. Calling upon the force, Diala channeled all of her inner strength into her palm and released a Force_Push so strong it launched the Grand Inquisitor through a nearby wall. She then promptly took the opportunity to make her exit; using the spacecraft she found to escape into the outer-atmosphere.
After safely evacuating the now Imperial controlled planet of Jedha, Diala hesitated on her next destination. Unsure of where to go, but using the force as a guide, Diala was subconsciously drawn back to Yavin IV; the tomb of her Master Shu Yen. Upon reaching the planet's outer atmosphere and ever haunted by the memory of Shu Yen since his passing, Diala attempted to locate her master's body for proper burial. Feeling out with the force, Diala eventually noticed a strong presence emanating from a ruined structure at the edge of a great jungle of Massassi_trees. Upon arrival to the ruin, Diala was filled with an overwhelming sense of dread; a Wound_in_the_Force existed within the ruins where Shu Yen had fallen. Diala could feel an oppressive and dark Presence watching her from the shadows, preventing Diala from reaching her master, and waiting for an opportunity to strike. Understanding the great danger she faced, Diala knew she wasn't ready to face this test; departing back to the safety of her spacecraft. Feeling defeated and unsure of herself, Diala began to meditate to clear her mind of these dire thoughts. Moments later, a squad of alerted Rebel troopers would come to apprehend the young Jedi; realizing the soldiers weren't a true threat, she peacefully allowed herself to go into their custody. Diala was promptly taken to the Great_Temple for questioning. After clearing her name and explaining her reasoning for venturing so close to the Alliance's secret headquarters, she was called to a meeting with the leaders of Rebel High Command. To the benefit of everyone involved, Diala would be graciously offered an opportunity to enlist within the Rebellion. Realizing the Alliance to Restore the Republic offered a relatively safe group of allies and planets for her to return to, Diala happily agreed. Once acclimated to her new role as an arbiter of the Alliance, Diala received her first mission under the guidance of her new Alliance CO, Gideon_Argus: to determine the cause of disappearances in the Ishtac Sector...
Representing the "Golden Age" of the Republic's Jedi Order to the many soldiers of the Rebellion, Diala is well regarded for her sophistication. She is both dignified and perceptive; garnering much respect by her cohorts for sharing her wisdom of the Force with those who will listen. She bemoans the lost opportunity to finish her "accredited" Jedi training to become a Knight; lamenting that she was unable to create a lightsaber before her master fell, nor find all of the the pieces necessary to craft one herself. Thus, she wields a durable, yet unremarkable, Plasteel Staff, with a skill and ease only a force sensitive could conjure. Even before her training on Jedha, Diala was a capable fighter. She now only grows stronger as she learns new ways to weave the force into her actions on the battlefield. Diala is able to remain calm and focused under fire in combat, using the defensive saber forms taught to her by Shu Yen, Form I (Shii-Cho) and Form_III (Soresu), to protect herself; turning her enemy’s attacks against them. In battle Diala weathers the storm; then rains down counter blows upon her foolish attackers.

"A master of the Resilience Form is invincible. One who aspires to it, such as myself, is simply very hard to kill."

Cause - Overthrow The Empire:
The Galactic Empire has created a civilization based on inequality and injustice. Diala seeks to end its tyranny, possibly in cooperation with the Alliance.

Dedication: Diala does not do things halfway. She takes every responsibility to its end and she commits her full power to everything she does.

Obsession: Sometimes, interest in something can turn to obsession if not tempered with reason. Diala can slip into an obsessive state about her need to discover information, accomplish a goal, or even defeat a rival, and she may ignore all else until success is hers.
