HISTORY
[/u][/size]Kana Cadau (kah-nah khad-OW) was born 36 years ago on the planet of Rendili. At the age of one year, her parents gave her to the Jedi to be trained. While she showed academic prowess, especially with the lightsaber, she had a hard time keeping a lid on her emotions, and it was dubiously that Master Moyena took her on as his apprentice at the age of 10. The calm, levelheaded Twi'lek jedi is the main reason for Kana learning to control her emotions, something she accomplished only after many patient (on Moyena's part) training sessions.
At the age of 20, Moyena declared Kana ready to face the trials. For her Trial of Skill, the masters chose an old Sith Lord to face the Padawan- a slightly watered-down version of Naga Sadow. Holding her own against the simulacrum of the twice-defeated Sith Lord, the Masters deemed that she had passed her first trial. However, before she could partake in another trial, Kana was deployed with Moyena to the planet of Begeren on what was supposed to be a simple scouting mission, and indeed it started out that way. But they were discovered by a Sith Lord and his
apprentice. The Sith Lord attacked Moyena and his apprentice dueled Kana. Moyena fell to the stroke of the lightsager. Touching the dark side in her anger, Kana pulled back from the darkness and finished the apprentice, fighting a battle of spirit and a battle of flesh simultaneously. Turning to fight the Lord, she took up hr master's lightsaber and attacked wielding two blades. It seemed, for one wild moment, that she might win.
Until the Lord chopped her arm off and sent her sprawling. When she returned to the Temple, alone, the Masters declared that she had passed the trials of Courage and Flesh, as well as the Trial of Spirit, for her actions on Begeren. This left only one trial left- the Trial of Insight. As Kana had lost her lightsaber on Begeren, the Council declared that her Trial of Insight would be to locate her own crystal in the galaxy and build her new lightsaber. And that is what she did.
It began with extensive meditation. Never one of Kana's favorite activities, she searched the Force energetically for her crystal. After four days of nonstop searching, she found it in the Crystal Cave on Dantooine. Making her journey there, she found her crystal and set about creating her lightsaber, using the Force to create the weapon. Her final trial complete, she returned the Jedi Temple, where she was made a Jedi Knight.
A year later, at the age of 22, she was assigned a Padawan of her own, a female Devaronian of 12 years. Her name was Kiyani. The two developed a close bond and worked well together as Master and Padawan. Kiyani unknowingly helped Kana with her self-control, while Kana in turn taught her the skills of a Jedi. The Devaronian passed her trials with flying colors, and Kana was happy for her. Kiyani lives, but it in their original universe.
After parts of the Jedi were shunted into the parallel universe, Kana, as a new member of the Council and one of the first to be transported, was elected as the Acting Grand Master until either the real Grand Master comes through or they find their way back to their universe.

OVERALL PERSONALITY
[/size]Kana does her best to be the ideal Jedi, a role-model for the Order, but her species is an aggressive one, and Kana has to wrestle with her genetic heritage, forcing her to sometimes draw on the Force to calm her emotions. Focusing on diplomacy to pull away from the aggression that she feared could lead to the dark side, she became adept at negotiation. She also has a fair amount of arrogance, but struggles with it, trying to force it down, though she has a rocky success rate.
