Fay

"She was the strongest of us all, and for a brief moment, I could feel how strong. I suspect she would have lived forever, if not for this one sacrifice."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi

Fay was a near-Human Jedi Master with pointed ears.

Biography
Described by Qui-Gon Jinn as "beautiful and ageless," it was said that no one hated Master Fay. In all the centuries she had lived, she had never been seen using a lightsaber, and some believed she never even carried one.

After attaining the rank of Master, Fay refused to take a Padawan, choosing instead to roam the Galaxy wherever the Force guided her.

During the Clone Wars, she, along with Nico Diath, Jon Antilles, Knol Ven'nari &mdash; who were also wandering Jedi &mdash; and Obi-Wan Kenobi, was part of the team dispatched to recover the antidote to the swamp gas used by the Confederacy on Ohma-D'un.

The group was ambushed by Durge and Asajj Ventress and three of the Jedi fell in quick succession. Fay and Kenobi survived long enough to confront Ventress, who was in control of the antidote and trying to escape with it to Separatist-friendly space.

Using the Force, Master Fay hurled shards of glass and metal at Ventress, catching the Dark Jedi with several large pieces of debris, and then fought her in psychic combat, apparently erasing her mind. Believing Ventress to be dead, Kenobi and Fay set off to return to Coruscant.

Ventress was far from dead, however, and rose up to spear Master Fay in the back with a lightsaber. Mortally wounded, Fay survived long enough to ensure Kenobi escaped from Queyta, then died in his arms.

Behind the scenes

 * Fay appears to be of the same species as Aleco Stusea and Princess Lourdes.
 * Interestingly, Fay's pointed ears, physical beauty and great longevity seem to suggest that her character was inspired by, or created in reference to, the immortal elves of fantasy popularized by J. R. R. Tolkien. It is also noteworthy that her name seems to be taken from the English fey, which is related to faerie, a word often associated with the elves of northern European folklore and mythology, from which fantasy works draw inspirations.
