Juta Tunavay - Jedi Padawan
The Temple nowadays is simply cluttered. Full of people who stick not to the true teachings of the Jedi; but to their own, passion filled ideals. Before long we shall fall in such spectacular manner that people will start to regard the Force as a myth; and Jedi as evil.

They say I’m too old to be young. I merely see what they say as idiocy. They are Jedi, and thus should act as such. The least they could do, in fact, is respect their fellows. I wonder if the force only picks its’ sensitivity within those destined for great things. I hope so.
My name is Juta Tunavay, and I am a Jedi. I have lived my whole life in the temple, learning the ways of our noble order. Ossus is my home, and I spend my time in deep meditation or practising the ways of the lightsaber. Many would say I am spiritually advanced within the force, or acceptance of it. I am merely raised as a Jedi, not found to be one.
When I was a baby, I was found on Naboo by a Jedi Master. He was an Ithorian, I do believe, but played no large part in my life after that. I don’t want to ramble into the depths of being extremely cliché but I did never know who my parents were. Not that I missed them; the Jedi were my family now. Anyway, I participated in many youngling classes, learning the way of the Shii-Cho, philosophy, the History of the Jedi and the codes. I longed for the day I could become a Jedi myself, the day I could wander the galaxy has a protector of piece and bringer of justice.
I witnessed many Jedi fall to the dark side in my short time. In fact, perhaps the most normal thing for a Jedi who comes to the temple late, after their parents died or something is to hate it. They weren’t raised here, so why should they enjoy it straight away? But no, many of them pack up their bags and leave. Off they go, into the sunset quite heroically like failed soldiers. So, I am not worried about the Dark Jedi. For what do they consist of? Failed Jedi; nothing more.
Anyway, I always intended to learn the ways of the force and its’ users. I yearned to be a scholar, in my younger years. In my older years, however, I realised what I really wanted to do. I wanted to become a master, letting the Force take me where it would. I was to become a servant to the force, to try my utmost to have a sense of unification. When I die, I will not be scared, for that is the final step of my unification with the Force. It is my final step to become ONE with the reason for my existence.
I believe that when we are born as sensitive to the Force, there is a plan laid out for us all. Our destiny, so to speak. My destiny is unclear to me, but I know that it will be something big, something worthwhile. When I die, I want it to be for the greater good.
I was trained as a youngling primarily on Ossus, but in my seventh year of age I was transferred to the mystical planet of Tython for a year to further understand the deeper mysteries of the Force. It was beautiful there; so powerful, so amazing. It was here I learnt to meditate, and now any stray emotion I may have is concentrated within meditation.
Some say I have intelligence to far exceed any of my age, but the arrogance of a drunken senator. I care to disagree, I have lived within the ancient halls of the Jedi all my life – I think I know quite a lot about my own family. I have so much more to learn, though, and a Jedi must seek me out to teach me all they can. I’m not the unconventional type, but someone needs to be conventional. Also, I have a hint of self-respect. Rare for girls at the moment, so I’ve heard.
