phoenix

she's prequel-era, about depa billaba's age, and actually quite good friends with depa. she was found by a jedi in the outer rim when her family's ship was attacked by pirates- she managed to stay alive by unconsciously cloaking herself with the force. due to the trauma of watching pirates murder her family, she was selectively mute after she was brought to the order and only started to speak when she was around ten. due to that, she's pretty fluent in basic sign language. the first thing she ever said aloud was chock full of sarcasm, which is a pretty good summary of her personality. force cloak is her strongest ability and one she used to sneak around the temple a lot, earning her the nickname of nyx, which she just decided to stick with. her true first name ended up all but forgotten over the years.

during the clone wars, she led a strike team of clones known as phantom squad and primarily went on stealth missions as her skill with force cloaking was invaluable to reconnaissance. one wouldn't expect the 6'2 colourful togruta to be the master of stealth, and nyx always enjoyed the reaction when fellow jedi realised she was the strike team leader.
