Biography
Teya was only 10 years old when her world changed forever. A human girl from Vellity, she and her family worked on a large field owned by their local lord. She was rather sharp, usually able to tell which animals were hurting, or which crops were sick before others, but nobody ever paid it any mind. After all, some kids are just a bit different.
While she worked the fields during the day, the night was spent learning all the tales and stories from those around her. She loved to learn about other species, and different worlds. While her home may only be a few acres, and the nearby town of Sunfield was a few more kilometers away, she dreamed of seeing places farther off, worlds untouched by the twin suns, worlds blessed by night and the cool darkness of a star-filled sky.
During a harvest festival, several concerns had been raised about safety, stemming from the various corps trying to push out the more “rustic” monarchy and install a ruler more… flexible. Of course, while it was mostly just fearmongering, the Galactic Republic still felt a token appearance could help keep the peace. A Jedi arrived to speak to the people, entertaining the children of the fammilies while keeping them safe in case someone did something stupid, and Teya ended up wandering off to listen to them speak. Stories about distant lands, new people, and ships sailing through the stars, filled her mind with the wonders that would forever lay beyond her reach. She was just a farmgirl, and everyone knew that Jedi were never farmers.
The Jedi felt something was off, however, and began to speak to each child individually, before stopping at her. Leaning in, they looked deep into Teya’s eyes, before nodding. The Jedi asked to speak to her family, and she hurried off, afraid she had made a mistake. Unknown to her, Teya’s sensitivity had been felt. When the issue was brought to her family, they deliberated for only a short time.
While it may hurt to lose a daughter, the stars needed another guardian, and it was an honor for her to answer the call.
