Fay Fay was a centuries - old , female near - Human Jedi Master who was known to have had an intensely strong connection with the Force which allowed her to retain a youthful appearance . She was one of several legendary wandering Jedi Masters whose exploits were known throughout the Jedi Order . Not believing that she was destined to teach , she left the Core and began roaming the Outer Rim worlds . For many centuries Fay allowed the Force to guide her to where she was needed , and as a result , was known to have resolved many conflicts , and even ended entire wars . During the Clone Wars she felt the Force guide her to the planet Queyta , where she rendezvoused with a number of other Jedi Masters , including Obi - Wan Kenobi , to recover a vital antidote needed for a deadly new chemical weapon . The ensuing mission resulted in Fay and the other Jedi encountering the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress and Durge , a 2 , 000 - year - old bounty hunter . During the confrontation , Fay fought with Ventress , but following an intense explosion , Ventress severely wounded the Jedi Master . Fay gave her last remaining strength to Kenobi so he could escape with the antidote , and thereby save millions of lives . Biography . Early life . The near - Human female Fay lived during the last centuries of the Galactic Republic . A Force - sensitive , she passed the Jedi Trials and became a Jedi Knight , after which she felt that the Force was calling her to lead a nomadic life away from the Core . After attaining the rank of Jedi Master , she decided to leave the Jedi Temple on Coruscant and refused to take a Padawan , choosing instead to roam the galaxy wherever the Force guided her . Throughout the following centuries she rarely had reason to travel back to the galactic capital , preferring to go where she felt she was needed . As time passed , and Fay was seen less and less on Coruscant , her exploits in the far corners of the galaxy soon took on a legendary status among many Jedi students . However , a number of the older Masters knew that the legends were actually real , and they paid close attention when reports were received from far flung planets of deeds done by a mysterious Jedi matching Fay ' s description . Her time in the field , whether it was on the most remote rural planets or those closer to the Core , helped save thousands of lives . She was known to have resolved many conflicts and wars by flooding peace and love into the hearts of those gripped by hatred . Throughout the hundreds of years that she mediated wars on any number of planets , she never once used a lightsaber in physical combat — indeed , it was believed that after her initial training , she never even carried one . Mission to Queyta . During the early months of the Clone Wars , Fay felt that the Force was guiding her to the volcanic planet Queyta . Once there , she realized that several other nomadic Jedi had felt the call of the Force as well — she met with Jedi Masters Nico Diath , Jon Antilles , Knol Ven ' nari , and Obi - Wan Kenobi , who had been involved with the war since its beginning . Kenobi was the last Jedi to arrive on the planet , and Ven ' nari berated him for being late , saying that she had better places to be . Fay , however , could sense the pain and tragedy which Kenobi had already suffered thus far in the war , and reached out her hand to his forehead and filled him with a new sense of hope and energy . The Jedi ' s mission was to infiltrate a chemical factory and acquire the antidote to a new Separatist biological weapon known as swamp gas . However , upon entering the factory , Diath commented that there were no battle droids — Fay and the other Jedi heightened their Force awareness as Kenobi led the search for the antidote . The search , though , came to an abrupt halt when Fay and others encountered the Dark Acolyte Asajj Ventress and the bounty hunter Durge . Immediately , Durge caused a huge explosion , and the ensuing fight saw the bounty hunter kill Masters Ven ' nari , Diath , and Antilles . After witnessing the death of Nico Diath , Fay realized that Ventress was trying to escape with the antidote . To stop her , Fay used the Force to hurl debris and broken glass at the fleeing Ventress , causing her to falter due to her wounds . Even though Ventress tried to crush Fay ' s heart with the Force , Fay was able to combat the Dark Jedi ' s attempts and use the Force to pull away all of Ventress ' s thoughts , causing her to faint . After Ventress had been neutralized , Kenobi advised Fay that he had recovered a vial of the antidote , and together the two Jedi started to withdraw in the wake of the factory ' s destruction . One with the Force . The chemical factory had begun devolving into chaos due to several large explosions initiated by Durge . As Fay and Kenobi attempted to escape the compound , a large explosion occurred near the Jedi , causing Fay to falter and drop her guard . During those few moments , a revived Ventress used her double lightsabers to pierce Fay from behind , leaving her severely wounded . Ventress and Durge realized that the factory was near its final destruction and boarded a nearby Separatist ship , leaving Kenobi and Fay to die . Even though the wounds she had received from Ventress were severe , Fay ' s strong connection with the Force would have allowed her to eventually recover . However , she recognized the dire need for the Republic to have the antidote that Kenobi possessed , and in a final act of self - sacrifice , touched Kenobi and filled him through the Force with her last reserves of strength . Due to Fay ' s sacrifice , Kenobi was able to jump to safety and ultimately escape the planet to bring the antidote back to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant . Personality and traits . Among all the species who encountered her , Fay was regarded as a striking woman , and Jedi Master Qui - Gon Jinn once described her as " beautiful and ageless " after an encounter with the Jedi Master . Following the mission to Queyta , Obi - Wan Kenobi commented that no one hated Master Fay , and that throughout her entire Jedi career she never felt the need to use a lightsaber in combat . For many centuries , she roamed the galaxy while being guided by the Force — the physical presence of her personality , combined with her wisdom in the Force , allowed Fay the opportunity to bring peace and harmony to many war - torn planets she encountered . Fay was distinguished by her pale skin , blond hair , and her pointy ears which resembled those of the Sephi . She also had distinctive tattoos on her left cheek and forehead . Due to her deep connection with the Force , Fay ' s physical body was ageless , and she appeared to be a beautiful twenty - year - old almost her entire life . Behind the scenes . Fay ' s first and only appearance was in " " , the fifty - third issue in the " " series of comics . Her character and story were conceived by writer Haden Blackman and penciled by artist Brian Ching . The character of Fay also shares characteristics with near - human individuals such as Aleco Stusea , an unnamed member of the Wardens of the Sky , and Princess Lourdes . All these characters have pointy ears . Leland Chee , on the Star Wars Message Boards , stated that his theory is that " all pointy - eared species are either Sephi or closely related to Sephi . "
