**Biography**

Still working on building the background, but I would assume that some Jedi knight might have found her wandering about at some point. Not sure about age though or what happened outside of <Redacted>… Possible idea is that someone was teaching her how to use the force some time before their passing… and someone else discovered her later.

Unknown female humanoid possessing unusual sensitivity to the force, capabilities unknown due to being unable to perform a successful midi-chlorian count. Alternative testing methods will be required. Later tests with a Jedi Testing Screen would reveal powerful divination and precognitive abilities similar to the initial encounter in <redacted>.

The Jedi High council seems understandably rather confused over the recent developments. The initiate seems to have already figured out how to design and create a own lightsaber out of nothing more than the force and knowledge found in the archives. The recently created weapon was confiscated for inspection. The Librarian states she still makes frequent visits despite this.

The lightsaber was returned some time later accompanied by further confusion. They were unable to breach the saber’s shroud for inspection, but the weapon is stable and fully functional. More reports from <Redacted> have came in. A journal written by one of our own has been found during the investigation. Nothing it says seems to alleviate our concerns.

It appears that the formerly missing Jedi Knight by the name of <redacted> had became stranded on <Redacted> after being forced to crash land while on route to a mission on <Redacted> and that girl had saved their life. The initiate however, is not a native of <redacted> nor a human. To pass the time, <Redacted> had opted to train the initiate in the Jedi arts and proved to be a shockingly capable student. There are no clear dates on the document due to a damaged chronometer.  According to the initiate’s testimony, her teacher <Redacted> passed several planetary cycles before anyone else arrived at <redacted>. Obvious signs of a funeral pyre was found near the dwelling by the recovery site confirming this.

A Jedi knight named <Redacted> has offered to take her in as their own apprentice. Not sure what they were expecting, but they sent the initiate straight back to the academy within only a few days. Apparently she had already become too much for them to handle. We should have warned them about this after what happened not that long ago and the recently surfaced reports, but it is already too late.

The council debates seem to continue. However, they are not treating her as a force sensitive “too old”, but as the former and last apprentice of <Redacted> and an example of a race completely unknown to the Republic. The situation must be kept under wraps for now. Who knows what sort of mess this might cause in the senate if this were to leak?

**Observations of unknown race**

If the journals of <Redacted> of his life on the hostile planet of <redacted> is to believed, the initiate is despite appearances, definitely not human.

While discovered as a child on the same distant planet and many passing planetary cycles, the girl never aged a day past that of the equivalent of a human female in their prime. It can be assumed that they likely are a long lived species that matures quickly and ages extremely slowly if at all. (The planetary cycles of <Redacted> are significantly longer than those on Coruscant.)

The girl’s skin naturally reflects blaster fire and lightsaber strikes… and is generally able to easily withstand extreme conditions that would most definitely kill a human (Or Anything else for that matter) instantly.

Force sensitivity is off the charts… although their natural resistances made direct readings impossible. If the first encounter and the area around the recovery site as well as recent events are to be believed, she is already reaching Jedi Master levels despite being mostly self taught.

Of course, the whole deal about her making a particularly sophisticated and functioning lightsaber using nothing more than what she picked up from the Jedi Archives likely hinted that she could do even more than that if properly motivated.

She proved able to learn and master new information at an incredibly rapid pace. It only took moments for her to pick up how to turn a simple staff into a powerful force weapon just with an explanation from her teacher.

Of course there are are other odd details like never seeming to tire or wear down and possessing unprecedented strength and ability. It’s not known if it’s due to this unusual aptitude to connect with the force or it’s a natural racial trait.

Then there’s that little weird thing where her mentor had caught her copying traits from the various beasts and other things while hunting and scavenging. Although for the time being, it’s likely just exaggeration on the author’s part as the initiate has not shown such an ability.

**Lightsaber**

I was trying to figure out how to make that distinct “Flash rod” look in a lightsaber.

To start, they have about the same size and weight… the color is a distinctive sable, the switch is a simple toggle and hold setup, there’s a series of claw-like protrusions over the emitter section and the handle and switch sections have some sort of specially designed “grippy” surface to keep the weapon from slipping and inadvertently striking the wielder.

Discounting the strange materials used for the shell and the crystals themselves, it would to most people just look a bit like an oddly balanced lightsaber… However, considering Evie would have implemented some rather special technology to operate the deceptive monstrosity… it handles rather differently and feels a bit strange once ignited.

Despite appearances, it has two sets of activation mechanisms, a simple toggle and hold switch system on the exterior that can be easily found and a more complex force sensitive system of switches hidden in the interior.

Because it’s built off “Flash rod” technology instead of the usual methods, the odd weapon can be used to channel force abilities, alter the properties of the blade on the fly, and other such strange weirdness.

Of course it can be used as a traditional light saber, but… the advanced features are locked away unless the wielder is aware of them and there’s no way to crack open the chassis to see how it works or find this out.

In other words… to “normal” Jedi, it’s just a really weird lightsaber that is impossible to break or run down and for the select few that know if it’s secrets… someone’s worst nightmare.

I’m not entirely sure what the actual color would be considering it’s probably configurable like everything else.

I can say that being caught in one of the “non lethal” blasts from “Flash mode” is enough to send large opponents hurtling off into outer space in a surprisingly straight line… providing they don’t get smashed to bits by hitting something along the way.
