Katooni/Legends

Katooni was a female Tholothian Jedi Initiate serving the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars.

Biography
A Force-sensitive near-Human of Tholothian blood, Katooni was trained in the ways of the Force at the Coruscant Jedi Temple. Like other Jedi of Tholothian decent, Katooni donned a traditional headdress of dangling seedpods recovered from the planet Tholoth. When the Clone Wars erupted between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Order's members were forced to serve in the Grand Army of the Republic. As the war was waged around them, Katooni was deemed to be one of the top members of her clan and suitable to travel to the sacred Jedi world of Ilum to participate in the ancient ritual known as The Gathering. Escorted to Ilum by Padawan Ahsoka Tano, Katooni and several other Initiates met with Grand Master Yoda in the Temple at the mouth of the Crystal Caves.

Entering into the caves in search of a crystal for use in her personal lightsaber, Katooni was accompanied by fellow Initiate Zatt as they searched the labyrinthine caves. Coming across a massive cliff, Katooni was confident that her crystal lay at the peak of the frozen wall of ice. Climbing up the rock face, Katooni retrieved the crystal and found a passage way at the top of the cliff. Choosing to take the path rather then climb back down, Katooni rushed along and fell through a weak patch of ice. Trapped in a frozen chamber near the mouth of the caves, Katooni called for help and was relieved to see Petro on the other side. Asking him for assistance, Petro refused as his time was almost up and he had yet to find his crystal. Alone and fearful of freezing to death, Katooni gave into despair and wept. As the gates were almost frozen over, Petro returned to Katooni realizing his error and gave her the courage needed to escape the ice cave and made her way back out of the caves to the applause of her friends. Master Yoda commended her in having confidence.

Returning to the Crucible, Katooni constructed a blue-bladed lightsaber.
