Legend

this young woman was one of the many Jedi Padawans who were away from Coruscant when the Clone Wars broke out. She and her Master, Kast Fulier, were dispatched to the planet Qiilura to investigate the development of a nanovirus by Ovolot Qail Uthan. Their attempts to infiltrate the farmers and gain their confidence were undermined by the fact that many of the farmers were under the control of Ghez Hokan, who was being funded by the Separatists. The farmers eventually betrayed them, and Master Fulier was captured and killed. Etain managed to escape, but only barely. She feared that her lack of ability to control the Force would be her death, since it had kept her from advancing very far in her own training. However, as luck would have it, she ran into the clone commando Darman during her escape. She was unprepared for Darman's appearance, since she had been away from Coruscant while the Grand Army of the Republic was formed. His pronouncement that she was now his commanding officer scared her, as she had very little military training. She was also unprepared for what she saw of Darman with the Force, because she saw him as a ten-year-old, which was his chronological age. Given his military training and Etain's Jedi training, she was surprised to find that she was attracted to him, and he to her. She felt stronger and more capable in his presence, and he helped her learn some of the skills she needed to be a military commander. He located two poles and sparred with her in one-on-one combat, honing her lightsaber skills while enhancing both their fighting skills at the same time. Etain thoroughly enjoyed these times together, as they served to strengthen the bond between them. After Uthan was captured, thanks in part ot Etain's growing leadership and combat skills, she returned to the Republic's command post to report to Jedi Master Arligan Zey. She refused to leave Qiilura when Zey ordered the rest of Omeag Squad to hunt down Hokan, and Zey was forced to lat her accompany them. They located Hokan quickly, and it was Etain's lightsaber that finally killed the criminal. Fi returned Master Fulier's lightsaber to her, but Etain didn't want it. She turned it over to Master Zey instead, then decided to remain on Qiilura to honor her promise to Jinart, helping remove the Separatist forces and allowing the Gurlanin to live freely on their homeworld.
