Legend

this wispy woman was a Jedi Knight, and served in the Jedi Temple's Library Archives on the planet Coruscant, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. Despite her frail appearance, Jocasta was known as a firebrand among the Jedi. She was the Jedi who trained the Miralukan male Jerec to Knighthood, instilling in him the insatiable desire for knowledge that drove many of her actions. She discovered Jerec while working as an archaeologist for the ExplorCorps, many years before the Battle of Naboo. Her determination and strength as a Jedi Knight carried over into her work in the Archives, where even the most experienced Jedi Master had to bow to her demands. However, her pride in the Archives and their contents often blinded her to the fact that the Archives were not truly complete, and could be altered from within. Thus, when Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived at the Archives to locate a planet named Kamino, Jocasta Nu was of very little help when it didn't show up in the records. According to Nu, if the planet didn't exist in the Archives, then it simply didn't exist. She was forced to face her pride head-on in the wake of the Battle of Geonosis, when Kamino's existence was verified by both Obi-Wan and Master Yoda. She began her own investigation into the matter, and was surprised to find a trail of evidence that exposed Count Dooku's altering of the archived data on Kamino. In the wake of the Clone Wars, Madame Nu was among the many Jedi who were killed in the Jedi Temple by Anakin Skywalker, after he pledged his allegiance to Darth Sidious and became Darth Vader.
