Tohno was a human female who served as a Jedi Knight in the waning years of the Galactic Republic. Although she passed the trials into knighthood at a relatively young age, she was known to have had a deep understanding of the Force, and a maturity which was beyond her years. Her training also made her a proficient warrior, and she became well-versed in the use of a lightsaber, as well as the unique ability of telekinetic lightsaber combat.

During the Clone Wars, Tohno was among a significant number of young Jedi who were pressed into duty as field Generals for the Republic. Amidst the turmoil of this time, she served alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker during the Battle of Zaadja, a battle which saw the Republic launch a successful raid against a droid manufacturing plant.

Tohno was killed during the Battle of Zaadja when she detonated explosives around her, personally sacrificing her life to ensure a Republic victory.
