Character Name: Dahri ShadowRace: Zeltron
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 135 lbs
Eye Color: Grey
Personality: Playful and confident, Dahri is a typical Zeltron in many ways. Her people are pleasure oriented, and have an abhorrence for negative emotions of all sort, and in this, she is not quite like the others. While she does not care for violence, Dahri isn't hindered by anger, pain and fear like others of her species are. However, she is greatly influenced by positive emotions, and often will allow herself to be distracted by them.
Dahri is a creative fighter, utilizing her surroundings and all her guile to reach the preferred outcome. Her deceptive nature was one of the elements which led to her supposed break with the Jedi Order, along with her refusal to accept the laws of celibacy and emotional detachment. She is stealthy, and has learned many useful, non-force based skills which she uses to hide her force-sensitive nature.
While it is generally spread around that she is a fickle and cruel person, Dahri is in fact neither of these things. She is loyal to those whom she thinks deserve her respect, and will always lend a helping hand to any in need. She is determined, and though at times she is somewhat careless, when it truly matters Dahri is dependable and resourceful.
Dahri loves music; over her time as a Youngling and Padawan she learned to play many instruments from across the galaxy, though her prefered instruments are still her own voice and her Zeltron Lute which she was given by her mother upon her return to Zeltros when she was 20.

Biography: Born on Zeltros, her peoples' homeworld, Dahri was always a uniquely talented Empath and Telepath, two abilities that members of the near-human species were typically capable of. Utilizing her excellent, and possibly force-enhanced, control of the pheromones which allowed her to manipulate a person's view of her, Dahri managed to gain the attention and aid of a passing Jedi Knight (Dar'Nala) when she was three years old. She saved the girl from a slaver who had taken a fancy to the young Zeltron and, recognizing that she was exceptionally force-sensitive, took Dahri from her family and brought her to Coruscant for training.
Dahri had more than a few problems at the academy; while she was a naturally talented force user, as an empath and telepath she was constantly attacked by the thoughts and emotions of others, a distraction which she spent much of her early years training herself to ignore. By the time she was ready for the initiate trials, Dahri was already extremely self-disciplined, especially for one of her species. However, she was less adept at channeling negative emotions, an issue which would prove problematic if she ever wished to become a Jedi Knight.
After passing the trials, when she was 11, Dahri was chosen by Master Jaric Kaedan, who trained her for the next eight years. A master of the seven forms, Jaric focused closely on training the young Zeltron in lightsaber combat, recognizing her ability through her fear of violence. By the end of her training, Dahri proved herself an exceptionally skilled Niman-form duelist; she also became practiced at Juyo-Kos, her Master's preferred form. Over time she learned to channel negative emotions effectively enough that she is, usually, no longer distracted by them.
The Great Galactic War was well underway by the time she became a Padawan. As apprentice to Master Kaedan, Dahri was often placed in command positions under him; being apprenticed to the man known as the Order's Watchman certainly earned her a great deal of experience in this area.
Dahri underwent the Jedi Trials at the age of 19, passing them with distinction. She was made a Jedi Knight, and then began her specialization, choosing the path of the Jedi Sentinel. Working as a Jedi Recruiter from the ages of 19 to 23, Dahri was responsible for seeking out Force-Sensitives and for recruiting potential Younglings. Though Recruiters were greatly disliked throughout the galaxy, for obvious reasons, Dahri's empthic powers and pheromone control kept her safe from much of that hatred.
She spent a fair amount of time sifting through force-sensitives on Zeltron for worth-while candidates. While many of her people were empathic and telepathic to an extent, she only found two others who she saw fit to bring back to the academy. While on Zeltros she met her mother; the elderly Zeltron gave her her late father's Zeltron Lute, which is Dahri's most precious possession.
When she was 23 she was contacted by the Council of First Knowledge, who asked her if she would be willing to take the position of a Jedi Shadow. She agreed, and it was decided that she was to seemingly break off from the Jedi Order, and in this way the secrecy of her true appointment would be guaranteed.
Over the past two years Dahri has worked in secret for the Jedi Council. Now that the Order has relocated to Tython, most of her missions are related to espionage and assassination, namely of various Sith and other Imperial Officials.
