[edit] Biography

A recent addition to the New Jedi Order, Reina Krailles was born from a noble background. Her parents were very reluctant to let her go and undertake Jedi training with the Jedi Knight who had discovered her. As a compromise, she was to be trained locally. Considering, at this time, the Jedi Order was in shambles, there was no Jedi Council to decypher the Code. Furthermore, there was no official place to take her.

Unfortunately, when the Empire captured the world, Reina's parents were executed for crimes of treason, after being discovered of aiding the Jedi. Reina and her master were forced to flee, a decision that was hard for the young Padawan. Over time, she learned Makashi and Ataru, becoming proficient in both. It was not until c. 10 ABY that she took up another blade and began practicing Jar'Kai. She was amongst the Jedi who received a call from the Jedi Council to meet at Midpoint Station, in order to assess the threat of the Xen'Chi invasion and the GAIT menace. Later, she relocated to the City of the Jedi, in response to the Cylon Imperium's attack on the planet and its fortifications. There, she participated in, and survived, the Xen'Chi attack on the world.

Reina would later participate in the Hunt for Sion, being one of the few to come back alive, and afterwards followed Guan Blackthorne and Trec Thul in the Battle of Chil'a'Chin.

When the City of the Jedi was attacked again in 17 ABY, Reina joined Rayatryn Jeib and Tahira Skyel in defending the city, particularily against the Sith known as Alexis Kiara. Neither her or her two allies were able to defeat Alexis, and Reina became the last one standing in the duel. As a result, she swore to harden her abilities in both the Force and lightsaber combat, for both when she should ever face Alexis again, or another like her.

Her training would take her down a new, unfamilliar path, as Jaylin Kumar came to Taylon not very long after the end of the battle with a young would-be girl named Al'eah, seeking a Jedi to train her. Cazzik Wyn helped Jaylin in finding her a master, Reina. Despite Reina's doubt on her ability to take an apprentice, Jaylin managed to convince her otherwise, before leaving her to her new responsibilities.

Reina quickly became aware of how much it would help her out, personally, when she became attached to the young girl, and the two eventually formed a bond as Reina began to treat Al'eah as if she were family.

[edit] Skills and Abilities

Reina is a master of the Makashi and Ataru forms of combat, as well as Jar'Kai. This leads her to being a deadly combatant, with two silver lightsaber blades. However, Reina is also a well-rounded combatant, as she spends her free time diving into the mysteries of the Force as well as learning new forms of lightsaber combat. While a formidable warrior, Reina's primary discipline is in her command over the Force.

After the attacked again in 17 ABY, Reina took it upon herself to dive deeper into the myseries of the Force, so that should hold a more powerful command over its powers, and also dedicated herself to learning new forms of ligthsaber combat. During this time, Reina was given, and reluctantly accepted, the challenge of taking on her first apprentice.
