Jarael

Jarael was a female Arkanian, and companion to the mechanic Camper. She was also a travelling companion of the Jedi fugitive Zayne Carrick.

Biography
Little is known of the early part of Jarael's life, only that she was running from a shadowy past. At some point, she claimed that Camper saved her life, and out of gratitude, she began travelling with him in an attempt to return the favor. Eventually, the two wanderers ended up on Taris, hiding in a dump in the Lower City district known as Junk Junction. Following the Padawan Massacre of Taris, Zayne Carrick and Marn Hierogryph sought the aid of Camper and were nearly killed by Jarael, who proved very adept in fighting with an electrostaff against Carrick. Jarael did not want to help Zayne because he was accused of killing his fellow Padawans, and this incident had caused Lhosan Industries to announce their pullout from Taris, ruining many people in the Lower City. Frustrated and annoyed by Jarael's demeanor, Carrick referred to her as "Darth Sunshine." Even so, when an arrest party arrived at Junk Junction, she and Camper helped Carrick and Hierogryph flee aboard their ship, the Last Resort.

Being chased by Jedi, as well as Taris Security, they fled into the nearby asteroid field. While inside, Zayne realized they were right on top of the Rogue Moon, the site of the former Padawans' last training exercise. Jarael accompanied him to the surface of the moon, where they discovered the remains of T1-LB, the Jedi's bulk-loader droid.

Inside the battered droid, Carrick and Jarael found a recording that revealed the Jedi Masters had recieved a vision of a Dark Jedi in red armor killing Jedi and destroying cities across the Galaxy. However, before they could see more, Last Resort was attacked and trapped inside the Ororo's tractor beam. Inside the Ororo's, they were detained by the bounty hunter Valius Ying, though Gryph allowed all but Zayne to leave&mdash;the price on his head was too high to ignore. Gryph then told Zayne that he could pretend to leave and use his skills to reach Last Resort. Zayne was surprised to find Jarael waiting for him. She told him to stop running away, and that, by giving himself up, he would be saving his friends. Zayne gave up himself to the bounty hunters to stop the dark prophecy and save his friends and the galaxy from harm.

Jarael was later captured by the Mandalorians and imprisoned on the Flashpoint Stellar Research Station.

Behind the scenes
Though both Jarael and her companion Camper are Arkanians, this causes some problems as Arkanians are described in other canon sources as having "solid white eyes and clawed, four-fingered hands" whereas both Camper and Jarael are clearly seen to have both pupils as well as five, regular fingers.
