Ahsoka Tano

In 36 BBY, Ahsoka Tano was born on the planet Shili to the Togrutas Pav-ti and Nak-il Tano. Early in her life, Tano was taken on a journey by her mother, who taught her about life and death. During that period, the young girl encountered a raxshir feline, which she reached out to without fear. She proceeded to ride atop the animal to return home. Upon her return, the elder Togruta Gantika realized the infant was Force-sensitive and declared that she would be a Jedi. When Tano was three years old, she was discovered by Jedi Master Plo Koon among her people on Shili after her natural ability to sense the intentions and feelings of others had marked her as Force-sensitive.

She is now 18, mere months after the First Battle of Geonosis and the beginning of the Clone Wars, Tano was assigned to Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker to learn the ways of the Force as his apprentice on the orders of Yoda. Her training had been accelerated due to the galactic conflict that overshadowed her apprenticeship. Having been granted the rank of Padawan, which made her a Jedi Commander under the Jedi Military Integration Act, she demonstrated an eagerness to prove herself worthy to be his apprentice. Yoda did this to alleviate Skywalker's fear and inability to lose loved ones, as he believed that by becoming a teacher, Skywalker would develop emotionally and understand that his excessive bonding to those he cared about was unnecessary once Tano was ready to go off on her own.

Ahsoka Tano is a Togruta female who had blue eyes, dark orange skin, brownish-grey lips, white facial markings, a slender build, and white lekku and montrals with blue stripes, The markings on her montrals were unique. During her early childhood, her trust in others was negatively impacted by a Jedi imposter who tried to enslave her, and the memory of the scorn her fellow villagers felt towards her remained with her until her trip to Ilum; upon trusting Master Yoda, she felt that trust came easier to her because she was again trusting her instincts. The teachings and values of the Jedi Order became sacred to her, and she always sought to protect the lives of innocents.

Due to her being a teenager, Tano is snarky, cocky, stubborn, reckless, and impulsive, yet also brave, loyal, generous, kinky, and kind-hearted. The young Tano's emotions made her a perfect apprentice for Anakin Skywalker, with Grand Master Yoda himself recognizing that the two became "twice the trouble" after being paired together. She was very feisty and snippy, earning her the nickname "Snips" from her master. Like her master, she could at times become aggressive and willing to use terror or threats to get the answers she wanted. She tended to follow her heart, which negatively impacted her path to Jedi knighthood. In her younger years, Tano's emotions inhibited her ability to make wise decisions, although she eventually gained the confidence to make the right ones, despite the great cost to her feelings. Beyond learning from both Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, the teachings of Qui-Gon Jinn were indirectly passed down to Tano.

When she initially became a Padawan, Tano wore a dark red bandeau top and skirt with white tights, along with dark red boots and fingerless gloves, as well as a purple sash. Tano later changed to wearing a dark red backless dress at the same time as she built her second lightsaber, this time with grey tights with diamond-shaped cut-outs and armbands with diamond shapes on her upper arms. She also wore a beaded headdress with a Padawan braid made of silk beads behind her right front lekku; after a ceremony on Coruscant, Master Yoda granted her an extension to the braid.
