Valara Saar

Valara Saar was a Force adept from planet Yashuvhu.

A descendant of a Human Jedi who crashed on incommunicated planet Yashuvhu millenia before her time, Saar's talents with the Force was evident since she was a small child. She also inherited the sacred scroll, a document where her long-dead relative had written a part of the Jedi Code. Yashuvhu had eventually introduced the legendary Jedi into its culture.

During some moment of her past, Valara Saar adopted a duuvhal as a pet, and she called it Zeev.

In the times of Valara Saar (33 BBY), Republic exploration vessel Pathfinder III landed on Yashuvhu to make a first contact. They discovered that Human population wanted to talk with the Jedi among them. The first-contact specialists could teach the Yashuvhi some information about the Jedi, which was accepted with religious fervor - but it was Valara the most interested Yashuvhi.

Valara convinced the Pathfinder III crew to take her to other worlds, hoping to learn the path of the Jedi. However, the Jedi were too restrictive for a free soul like her. She tried her best to become a Jedi, but eventually left without any training, and without any hope of being a Jedi one day.

Valara decided to look for her destiny anywhere in the galaxy, becoming a warderer. She exchanged her Force skills for a ticket to another planet, helping those in need wherever she found them and, at the same time, learning more and more of the Force without any master. She also made important friends during her travels.

During an activity on Aargau, her pet Zeev was killed.

After years of wandering, Valara returned to her native Yashuvhu, going to live on an isolated hut in the Yashaka mountains. She became a teacher on the Force, teaching never more than what she feels her student is ready to learn, and learning a lot at the same time. Nobody could visit her if she did not want a visit, as her fighting skill are greater than they could seem. The other Yashuvii had nicknamed her "Prophetess", although she also worked as a defender of her people if needed, particularly against the Chiss Ascendancy.

She also took a new duuvhal pup to replace Zeev; this pet is called Jedi.

Valara considered she could only grow when travelling through the galaxy, and considered wandering again. Some of her friends promised her to take her wherever she wanted, but it is unknown if she ever called them.
