Takanir Family

The Takanir Family is a minor sideline of the Corellian Halcyon bloodline. Members of the family displayed no or little sensitivity to the Force for generations. A notable exception is Jevona Takanir who had to renounce her family name after a series of fateful events and take on the name of Cayla Dunestrider.
==History==
Unknown by Jevona's family, the Takanirs are a sideline to the Halcyon dynasty. The families split two generations after Kiraan Halcyon. By that time there had been two siblings, Talim and Janeera Halcyon. Both brother and sister had been gifted with the Force, however Talim outmachted his older sister Janeera by far. Being grandchildren to Famous Keiran Halcyon, everybody expected them to excel in their studies, but during her studies Janeera realized that she could never keep up with those expections. Frustrated, she finally left the Jedi order without even being knighted. Her brother and her teachers, fearing the worst for her, tried to make her come back, but that only served to increase her frustration. To escape the pressure, she broke with her family and even turned her back to the ways of the Force. She even refused the Jedi Credit, her brother send to her after being knighted, because she felt that this was another way to talk her into coming back.
Janeera married Altan Cloudrider and changed her family name. She became mother of two children herself whom she protected from the order in order to spare them the same pressure that she had grown up with. It was her grand-grand-daughter Keren Cloudrider who married Daryan Takanir and thus became part of the Takanir family. 
In late 23 BBY, Josh Takanir married Saleena Meinar which caused a bit of a stir in the small community the Takanirs lived at the time. Many people thought, that Josh Takanir and Saleena Meinar never had been meant for each other. Josh was, as many of his ancestors, a man of the land, where as Saleena took to the stars. People suspected that the couple only married because Saleena already was pregnant with Josh's child. Despite their differences, Josh and Saleena came if not to love each other, than at least to respect each other.
The Takanirs always had been farmers. Janeera's heritage only served to increase their love for nature, though the Force never ran strong in their line. Jevona may be the first one in several generations worth any training.
