Ashla (Jedi)/Legends

Ashla was a Jedi youngling who lived and trained at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant prior to and during the Clone Wars.

Biography
A Togruta female from the planet Shili, Ashla was a member of the Bear Clan, and trained under Jedi Master's Yoda and Depa Billaba for a time. She was present when Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi came to Yoda to seek information about a missing planet called Kamino. Like the rest of the clan, Ashla greeted Kenobi and laughed at some of Yoda's jokes. During her training, Ashla carried a blue lightsaber.

Behind the scenes
One common misconception is that Ashla is one and the same individual as Ahsoka Tano. This widespread mistake came into existence because the two are of the same species and Ashla's name is not well known. Leland Chee has stated they are not the same character, and could not be as not only do their ages do not match up, but they also have very different facial patterning.
