"An expert in the physical side of the Force."

Kirana Ti was a Dathomiri witch who became a Jedi Knight in Luke Skywalker's Jedi Order.

Jedi training
"You'll never get a chance to ask them, Exar Kun. You are trapped here. You won't leave this chamber."

- Kirana Ti

Kirana was a member of the Singing Mountain Clan of Force-sensitive, rancor-riding witches on the world of Dathomir. She and her clanmates were instrumental in Luke's recovery of the Chu'unthor, which had crashed centuries ago on her homeworld and contained much information on the ways of the old Jedi.

When Luke established his Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4, she left her husband and daughter to study the ways of the Jedi under Luke, where she became a good friend of Streen. She was instrumental in helping defeat Exar Kun's hold on Luke Skywalker, and served as the focal point for the trainees spiritual battle with the spirit of the Sith lord.

Later, Kirana Ti and Streen joined Kyp Durron and Dorsk 82 on the planet Corbos where the four Jedi managed to destroy a Leviathan brood that had destroyed a mining colony there.

Even though it is tradition to build your own lightsaber Kirana initially used Gantoris' lightsaber for some time after his death.

The Yuuzhan Vong War
During the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, Kirana Ti's whereabouts were unclear, though it was assumed that she helped protect her family and homeworld of Dathomir.

After the Yuuzhan Vong war, Kirana Ti and Damaya hoped to help Dathomir recover and heal. They were joined by Streen, who sought to establish a new Jedi Praxeum there to train the many Dathomiri Force-sensitives in the ways of the Jedi.

The Dark Nest
Six years after the end of the war, Kirana was one of several Jedi siding with Kyp Durron. She volunteered to fly a StealthX on a rescue mission inside Killik space where Luke and Han were suspected to have been captured.
