Olana Chion

Olana Chion was a Human Jedi Knight and General during the last years of the Galactic Republic.

Biography
She was born O-Lana on Kegan, an oppressive world. Her parents, V-Nen and O-Melie, discreetly contacted the Jedi Council, resulting in Jedi Masters Qui-Gon Jinn and Adi Gallia and their respective apprentices, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Siri Tachi, arriving on Kegan to test the child. The local government, however, was led by two Force-sensitives known as the Benevolent Guides. The Guides had seen visions of the future that connected the Jedi with Kegan being taken over by white-armored soldiers. Attempting to avoid this fate, the Guides had isolated Kegan from the Galactic community. The Guides had O-Lana kidnapped from her parents and taken to the Relearning Circle, wiping out all records of her existence. The Jedi managed to rescue O-Lana and overthrow the Guides' oppressive government. They took O-Lana to the Jedi Temple, while her parents adopted the orphan Keganite boy V-Davi.

O-Lana became Olana Chion as a Jedi, severing all connections her to her homeworld (a Keganite's name would indicate his or her gender, with females having the prefix "O" in front of their names and males having the prefix "V"). She also worshiped Obi-Wan and hoped to be his Padawan which abruptly ended when Obi-Wan took Anakin Skywalker as his Padawan

Since Anakin Skywalker's apprenticeship, she never truly trusted the Chosen One. She always kept an eye on him. When the Clone Wars began, he seemed to embrace the war while the Jedi teachings were pacifist. In 33 BBY, Olana became the apprentice of Avan Post, who perished during the war.

Olana was promoted to Knighthood. Rather than leading brigades of troops in battles, she coordinated the evacuations of endangered citizens. When Grievous attacked Coruscant, she helped move citizens offworld and to other buildings.

During one of the last days of the Galactic Republic, she attended a briefing on the campaign of Boz Pity and Saleucami. As she left the Briefing Room, she didn't know that her mistrust of the young Jedi rushing past her, Anakin, would be proved overly right only a few days later.

During Operation: Knightfall, Anakin rampaged through the halls of the Temple with the 501st Legion, killing all who opposed. She was assigned to protect Padawans under Cin Drallig, and is believed to have been killed in the onslaught.
