Darra Thel-Tanis

"Stay with me until I fall asleep. It's lonely in here."

- Darra Thel-Tanis

Darra Thel-Tanis was a female Human Jedi Padawan of Master Soara Antana in the waning years of the Galactic Republic. She was polite and kind and had golden-brown hair.

Biography


With her Master, Darra accompanied Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi on missions to worlds such as Radnor and Haariden. On the mission to Haariden, Darra was badly injured, after being shot in the thigh with a blaster. During her recovery she developed a friendship with Anakin.

A few years later, prior to the Clone Wars, Darra and her Master once again accompanied Anakin and Obi-Wan, as well as two other Jedi pairs (Siri Tachi with Ferus Olin and Ry-Gaul with Tru Veld) to Korriban to stop Granta Omega and Jenna Zan Arbor. During this mission, influenced by the dark side energies of the planet, the apprentices started to argue rather than work as a team. This led to a disastrous confrontation with Omega and a number of traps set in the tombs. In their battle against Omega, Darra sacrificed herself for Ferus and was shot in the chest by Granta Omega's KYD-21 blaster pistol. Her death deeply saddened her fellow Padawans.

Behind the scenes
In one or more of the Jedi Quest books, her name is misprinted as "Darra Haariden", a mistake referencing a world she went on a mission to.
