Tahira Skyel was born to a family of farmers, roughly nine years after the end of the Clone Wars. She was identified by a passing through Jedi Knight and taken in for training. Over the next several years, she honed her skills in the Force and with the blade. Her master taught her the traditions of the Jedi, and when it came time to build her own lightsaber, she chose a green blade, to reflect her status as a guardian. Her death would later move Reina to restructure her style of lightsaber combat, in hopes of defeating Alexis at a later time.
