Sarenda comes from a very large family, being the oldest of four daughters and three sons. Her mather passed away when she was 13, and her Aunt Bindi became her primary female influence. Sarenda has always been protective of her younger siblings, as many of the local boys learned to their chagrin. Despite her hard upbringing and the snarky yet optimistic attitude it instilled in her, Sarenda is the adventurous sort, and would explore the world around Taanab after helping her father and aunt in the shop all day. On one of these trips, she discovered a small cave, hidden behind a cave-in. During her explorations, she recovered a small broken cylinder that contained some form of electronics.

Taking the cylinder home, Sarenda spent weeks scavenging or building the parts needed to rebuild this object that called to her. After nearly six weeks, she was able to finish the repairs, and was startled when the open end of the cylinder emitted a brilliant emerald green blade. Sarenda recognized the blade from the histories of the Jedi Order's betrayal of Emperor Palpatine, but her father and aunt had raised all of the Janson children to think for themselves. Hiding the lightsaber, Sarenda returned to the cave to practice with the blade, spending all of her free time there learning to hone her control of this weapon that seemed to be an extension of herself, marveling at the whispers she imagines she can hear emanating from the weapon as it seems to almost teach her how to wield it.

One day, Sarenda returned home from several hours' practice to find her Aunt Bindi waiting for her. Bindi had discovered the girl's practice, and watched her long enough to realize that she had a connection to the Force that her old friend Elaiza had always spoken of. Bindi encouraged Sarenda to seek out Elaiza, as her burgeoning connection to the Force would soon draw the attention of the Empire. Sarenda agreed, and headed out in search of Elaiza. Her search eventually led her to the moon of Nar Shaddaa, where she found Elaiza and began training in the ways of the Force while using her extensive mechanical skills to make a living among the denizens of the Smuggler's Moon.

(Strength) Compassion: Sarenda always has time to help those in need, and she rarely considers anything she owns so important that she would not give it to someone who needs it more. What’s more, Sarenda’s sense of compassion doesn’t stop at charity and empathy—she is a tireless crusader who seeks to fight injustice and halt the problems afflicting the galaxy at their source. At her best, Sarenda is a selfless champion for the downtrodden.

(Weakness) Cruelty: Sarenda doesn’t just want to help the helpless, but to stop those who would prey on them. Sometimes she can do this with persuasive words or a tough stance, but at other times, she finds that only violence can dissuade someone. At times like these, it can be hard for Sarenda not to feel a sense of satisfaction in letting loose on a deserving target, even if her foe is no match for her. At her worst, Sarenda ends up becoming just another predator, albeit one with a particular choice in targets.
