## Role in the Legends

Jaina was born at the end of the
Thrawn Trilogy five minutes before her twin, Jacen. She and her brother were twins like their mother and uncle were.  Jaina and Jacen, later their younger brother, Anakin Solo were raised by Winter, an old friend of Leia Organa Solo. They considered Winter their mother but not Leia at all. Jaina and Jacen
reunited with their family after the birth of her younger brother, Anakin. Their parents visited less often and the children were relocated to another world.

* **The Force:** Being part of the Skywalker family line and the granddaughter of the Chosen One Anakin Skywalker and daughter of Leia Organa, Jaina was immensely powerful in the Force, as equally strong with her brothers, uncle, mother, and grandfather.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Jacen Solo

As children, Jacen and Jaina were very close to one another and hid together with their adopted mother, Winter Celchu. They teased each other like any other brother or sister does with their siblings, but loved each other nonetheless. She first sensed her brother fell into the darkness after he kicked her out of the Galactic Alliance for not destroying a dismantled ship. After Jacen fell to the dark side and took on the name Darth Caedus, Jaina no longer considered Jacen her brother, including when he killed their aunt, Mara Jade Skywalker. After she kills Jacen her brother, Jaina feels his death through their twin thought of him as Jacen, not Darth Caedus.

#### Parents

Leia is Jaina's mother. At first, Jaina was not accepting of her mother and disregarded Leia as her mother. They were close, but not as close as Jaiana was with her father. Leia also loved Jaina and sent her away to protect Jaina and her brothers. Only Winter was considered her mother because she raised Jaina and her brothers for most of their lives. Later on in her life, Jaina soon came to love her for who she was, eventually called Leia "Mom". Leia also learned to be a mother and also had to be at other duties and responsibilities as Minister of State of the New Republic. She also supported her mother during the Rogue Squadron. When her mother was injured, Jaina used the Force to help her mother walk because her legs were both broken. Once, Jaina had been conflicted and confided her troubles with her mother. Jaina will always love her mother and they have a strong bond as Jaina grows older.

**Han Solo is** Jaina's father. Han and Jaina were close as she grew older, and began to take exactly after her father. She became a very good pilot and mechanic, and she and Han started growing close to each other. She also called him Dad. Han even gave Jaina a hyperdrive as a gift. Han also later gave her a Z-95 Headhunter called the Crystal. He named Jaina after his late mother, Jaina Solo I.

#### Luke Skywalker

*"I name you the Sword of the Jedi. You are like tempered steel, purposeful and razor-keen. Always you shall be in the front rank, a burning brand to your enemies, a brilliant fire to your friends. Yours is a restless life, and never shall you know peace, though you shall be blessed for the peace that you bring to others. Take comfort in the fact that, though you stand tall and alone, others take shelter in the shadow that you cast."*

*—Luke to Jaina*

Jaina especially loved her uncle and called him "Uncle Luke". He later gave her the title "Sword of the Jedi". Luke also worried for his niece's safety before she could walk, fearing the Dark Side would reach her and her brothers. Once, Luke was in an accident and Jaina worried that Luke would not live. With her brothers, Jaina was later relieved when Luke was slowly recovering from his illness. She, along with Jacen, had especially practiced their techniques on their uncle's lightsaber. She even refused to believe that Luke, along with their parents died in a self-proclaimed earthquake.

#### Mara Jade Skywalker

Mara was Jaina's aunt, and Jaina loved Mara very much. Not only were they aunt and niece, but also Master and apprentice during the New Jedi Order. Like every other member of the force, Jaina felt the death of Mara through the terrible fate but was unaware her brother, Jacen had killed her.

#### Jagged Fel

Jaina and her future husband, Jag Fel first met during the Yuuzhan Vong War. She did accept the fact that Jagged and her were in love with each other and then Jaina hid it no longer: she admitted that she was in love with him. He even snuck into her room just so he could kiss her before going away. They were strained away from each other, but Jaina noted their relationship soon became a problem. Jag was also jealous that Jaina and Zekk were romantically involved, forcing a love triangle between the two. After the Second Civil War, Jaina and Jagged formed a secret relationship. They eventually married and at least one son and many descendants to follow.

### Lando Calrissian

Lando was an old family friend of the Solos. Even though he wasn't biologically related to them, Jaina still affectionately called him "Uncle". Lando wanted to spoil the children by inviting Jaina, her brother, and their friends to Cloud City, to try out the SkyCenter Galleria Amusement Park

### Zekk

At first, Jaina was smitten with this young man when they first met on Coruscant. She would never stop thinking about him, even when he attended Shadow Academy. Zekk was over her in a millisecond, as their romantic interest didn't last long. The two of them stayed friends though, and Jaina accepted this fate. When she learned Zekk and Taryn were engaged, Jaina was happy for him.
