Tallisibeth Enwandung - Esterhazy Tallisibeth Enwandung - Esterhazy , better known by her nickname Scout , was a female Human Jedi Padawan who served the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic as a Commander in the Grand Army of the Republic during the time of the Clone Wars . Biography . Early life and Jedi training . A native of Vorzyd V , the young Human Force - sensitive Tallisibeth Enwandung - Esterhazy was born to poor parents in the slums of their world . When a recruiter for the Jedi Order passed through the planet ' s ports , the family begged the Jedi to take their child offworld and train her in the Order . Turning the girl over to the Coruscant Jedi Temple , Enwandung - Esterhazy entered into the Temple ' s academy and began training in the ways of the Force . Despite her tenacity and will to succeed , Enwandung - Esterhazy had a relatively weak connection to the Force ; many of her instructors doubted that she would pass the Trials of Knighthood and that she was destined for the Jedi Service Corps . Earning the nickname Scout due to her ability to quickly analyze a situation using the Force , Enwandung - Esterhazy focused on honing her physical abilities in order to compensate for her poor performance in Force - related exercises . During the later stages of the Separatist Crisis , Enwandung - Esterhazy was selected by Master Chankar Kim to be her apprentice , much to the surprise of many of the academy ' s instructors and students . Under Master Kim ' s tutelage , Enwandung - Esterhazy constructed a sky blue - bladed lightsaber and honed her abilities in many unorthodox maneuvers . When the Clone Wars erupted between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems , Master Kim dutifully accompanied Master Mace Windu to Geonosis on a major rescue mission and laid down her life during the ensuing battle . Devastated when news of her master ' s untimely death reached the Temple , Enwandung - Esterhazy felt certain that the Council of Reassignment would place her in the Agricultural Corps ; a move that was championed by Master Jai Maruk , who expressed his opinion to Grand Master Yoda after the girl had remained at the Temple for two years awaiting reassignment . Master Yoda did not agree with Maruk ' s assessment , and bet Maruk that Enwandung - Esterhazy would win the annual Jedi Temple Apprentice Tournament , with the wager being that Maruk would choose her as his Padawan should she win . Maruk agreed , and was shocked after Enwandung - Esterhazy survived all eight rounds and won the tournament through creative , non - Force methods . Maruk hesitantly took her as his Padawan , and she ascended to the rank of Commander within the Grand Army of the Republic . Mission to Vjun . Near the end of the Clone Wars , the Jedi learned that Count Dooku , leader of the Confederacy , had taken over Château Malreaux on Vjun . Dooku then made a plea to Master Yoda , claiming that the war had gotten out of hand and that he was willing to negotiate a truce . Master Yoda selected a small group of Jedi to come along with him to Vjun , bringing Masters Maruk and Maks Leem , as well as their respective Padawans , Enwandung - Esterhazy and Vjun native Whie Malreaux . On the way to Vjun , the Jedi stopped at Phindar Station , and were ambushed by Sith assassin Asajj Ventress and a group of assassin droids . During the battle , Masters Maruk and Leem engaged Ventress in a lightsaber duel , but she proved to be the better duelist . Maruk nearly gave in to the dark side , but was calmed by Leem ; despite this , Maruk was slashed across the stomach , mortally wounding him , and Leem was stabbed in the back , killing her . As Maruk lay dying , Enwandung - Esterhazy clambered to his side and begged him not to leave her . With his last breath he told her , " " Never . . . my Padawan . " " Enwandung - Esterhazy had lost her second Master to the Clone Wars , but the Jedi pressed on from the station to Vjun . After landing planetside , Master Yoda left the Padawans and began negotiations with Count Dooku . While the Padawans investigated tremors in the Force that Malreaux had felt they ended up running into Ventress once more . Both Padawans were quickly captured and Enwandung - Esterhazy was held by Ventress in a Force - grip . Ventress , sensing Malreaux ' s feelings for Enwandung - Esterhazy , tried to tempt the boy to the dark side by telling him to kiss his vulnerable companion . Holding the life of Enwandung - Esterhazy in her hand , she forced him to choose . Malreaux struggled with the decision , but Enwandung - Esterhazy managed to speak through Ventress ' grip , telling Malreaux that she knew he would make the right decision . Malreaux resisted Ventress ' temptations , much to her chagrin . Just as Ventress prepared to give the order to kill the Padawans , the battle droid , Solis , arrived and attacked Ventress , giving the two adolescents time to escape . Soon , Jedi Obi - Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker arrived to rescue Yoda and the Padawans , and Enwandung - Esterhazy returned with them to Coruscant afterward . The Dark Times . Remaining at the Jedi Temple for the rest of the war , Enwandung - Esterhazy was present when Supreme Chancellor Palpatine betrayed the Order and issued Order 66 to the Grand Army , commanding them to turn their blasters on the Jedi and execute them . Escaping the Temple as Darth Vader invaded with the 501st Legion , Enwandung - Esterhazy was later found by Nyreen Vollen , who brought her to Mandalore in the company of fellow Jedi Kina Ha . When Enwandung - Esterhazy first arrived on Mandalore , her new guardian Kal Skirata was initially shocked by the girl ' s resemblance to another Jedi , recently deceased Etain Tur - Mukan ; the similarities almost brought him to tears and made him struggle to keep his composure . The strill Lord Mirdalan even thought she was Tur - Mukan and got excited upon first seeing her . Enwandung - Esterhazy lived in Kyrimorut and bonded with Mij Gilamar , who agreed to give her some first aid training , and scientist Ovolot Qail Uthan who made Enwandung - Esterhazy her assistant . When Skirata made a deal with fugitive Jedi Master Djinn Altis to take in the Jedi who were staying in Kyrimorut , Enwandung - Esterhazy decided that she wanted to stay on Mandalore with Gilamar and Uthan , but was unwilling to give up being a Jedi . Personality and traits . A Human female , Tallisibeth Enwandung - Esterhazy was red - haired and had an athletic body ; she was considered pretty by fellow Padawan Whie Malreaux , who became infatuated with her . Resembling fellow Jedi Etain Tur - Mukan both physically and personality - wise , Enwandung - Esterhazy was constantly doubting herself , but was very kind and strong regardless , and believed in hard work to overcome obstacles . She was quick to form friendships with people , such as Padawan Ahsoka Tano , with whom she was close friends and received letters from Tano about her experience during the war . She also became close to Cuy ' val Dar Sergeant Mij Gilamar and Doctor Ovolot Qail Uthan after the disbanding of the Order , almost starting to become like an adopted daughter to the already close pair . However , despite her fugitive status and the dissolution of the Order , she was not yet ready to become Mandalorian by adoption like former Jedi Bardan Jusik , proud of her Jedi heritage and her accomplishments . Powers and abilities . While Enwandung - Esterhazy was somewhat weak in the Force , she compensated by wearing armor and becoming adept in lightsaber combat and unarmed combat — not to mention a willingness to ignore proper rules of conduct . This latter trait was not always expedient as it could include practices impossible outside training sessions , such as grabbing a training lightsaber blade . She was said to be the favorite student of Master Ilena Xan and possessed natural precognitive abilities which manifested itself in her habit of scoping out a situation and reading it just a little faster than everyone else ; a skill which earned her the nickname " Scout .
