Lasi Tanish (Jedi)

This is a request I did for Ryavar Darek for his character, Lasi Tanish. It was definately a fun project, and well worth the effort to give her a very special background befitting her character.

Biography: Lasi Tanish was born into a very unfriendly family. Her second stepfather was a brutal, mean choleric person, who hit her whenever he was in the mood for it. As a result, she ran away when she was old enough to think of something like running away and had to care for herself since then.
Somehow she stranded on Coruscant and survived there by pickpocketing.
It was a relieve for Lasi to be found by a female Jedi Master, who discovered her true potential. She never again had to harm others in any way just to survive since then.
To completly overcome her past, she learned the soresu form and thus completly abandoned every sign of aggression - even in her style of fighting. She had to use her knowledge of the soresu style several times, since she accompanies her mastress and was glad that she only defended herself or others - not killing any person on her own will.
Though Lasi lived in a time, where the order of the Jedi had become more liberal(some time in the second century after the battle at Yavin), she tried to hide her love to a fellow student in the temple, as she feared to fall back into her darker feelings, if her love would place her in a difficult situation.
