Jaina Solo

Jaina Solo Fel was a Force-sensitive Human female who was a Jedi Master of the New Jedi Order. She eventually earned herself a seat on the New Jedi High Council, and was named Sword of the Jedi by her uncle, Grand Master Luke Skywalker, for her courageous acts during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. She was the twin sister of Jacen Solo, the older sister of Anakin Solo, and the wife of pilot Jagged Fel.

Born to Han and Leia Organa Solo, Jaina inherited her father's mechanical aptitude and her mother's Force sensitivity; resulting in her eventual training at the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4. During her time there as a youth, she had many adventures, including helping to thwart the Second Imperium, where she helped Zekk abandon the dark side of the Force and join the ranks of the Jedi.

When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Jaina joined the New Republic military and distinguished herself as a Rogue Squadron pilot. She was constantly on the front lines of battle during the Yuuzhan Vong War and became known as an avatar of the Trickster Goddess Yun-Harla to the Yuuzhan Vong.

During the war, Jaina also became romantically involved with fellow pilot Jagged Fel. However, the death of her brother, Anakin caused Jaina to walk dangerously close to the dark side. She was later redeemed with the aid of Kyp Durron. As the war waged on, Jaina discovered a way for the reformed Galactic Alliance to use Yuuzhan Vong warships and biots to their advantage, and also personally slew Warmaster Tsavong Lah in the Battle of Ebaq. Solo fought in many of the war's battles, ultimately participating in its conclusion. Jaina, as a survivor of the Mission to Myrkr, later became Joined into the Killik community, and was involved in the subsequent Dark Nest Crisis and Swarm War on the side of the Killiks against the Chiss, which strained her relationship with Jagged Fel.

In 40 ABY, Jaina assumed control of Hardpoint Squadron and participated in the Battle of Tralus, siding with the Galactic Alliance. Afterward, she and her brother Jacen commanded Rogue Squadron during the Blockade of Corellia. The resulting crisis; resulted in a split between her and Jacen; due to his increasingly aggressive actions, though she remained active in the Jedi Order. Jaina would later be paired up with Jagged Fel and Zekk on a mission to hunt down the renegade Dark Jedi Alema Rar. The death of her aunt, Mara Jade Skywalker and the dark deeds of her brother only encouraged her to find a way to stop Jacen; who had fallen to the dark side and she began seeking the means to do so through training with her father's ex-arch-enemy, Mandalore Boba Fett. She later killed her twin brother, now the Sith Lord Darth Caedus, in a lightsaber duel aboard the Star Destroyer Anakin Solo.

Following Jaina's brother's death, she remained an active member of the New Jedi Order. As; such when Chief of State Natasi Daala exiled her uncle, Luke Skywalker, from the New Jedi Order as the beginning of a bid to take control of the Jedi, Jaina created a covert group, Darkmeld, as a means of secretly undermining Daala's efforts. Daala's increasing extremism prompted the New Jedi Order to lead a coup to remove Daala from power.

Jaina Solo was a Human female standing 1.49 meters high as an adult and had brown eyes, dark brown hair, and fair skin. She was known for being more like her father than her other siblings, exhibiting an aptitude for mechanics and piloting, as well as demonstrating some of Han's more impulsive and stubborn characteristics. Solo had difficulties understanding the emotional distance between her and her mother as she grew up. During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Solo discovered she had more attributes with her mother than she first thought, resulting in a much closer mother and daughter bond. As Solo became older, many noted she could act like Leia in an instant. She was especially close to her twin brother Jacen, as they shared a bond in the Force similar to the one between her uncle and mother. She was easily frustrated, but was good at thinking on her feet, and dedicated to finishing whatever she started.

By the time of the Yuuzhan Vong War, Solo was both skilled in the Force and an excellent pilot. In the early stages, she was criticized by Jagged Fel for not being "grim" or mature enough to handle war, which rankled with her. However, losing friends and family during the war hardened her, and in her grief and anger following the loss of her brother, she was nearly consumed by her emotions as she sought revenge on the Yuuzhan Vong by any means. Although she was redeemed from fully falling to the dark side, she continued to fight against the invaders vehemently, to the extent that her uncle named her the "Sword of the Jedi" in her knighting ceremony. Her lightsaber technique was described by her brother as cool and measured, never wasting any unnecessary effort.Solo was known for taking bold actions, often going farther in her prosecution of the war than the "official" Jedi position, and sometimes strayed from more orthodox Jedi doctrines, though not as far as Kyp Durron. Throughout the war, she was known for being a hard worker dedicated to the cause, and for pushing those around her to excel as well. Leia admitted Solo inherited her own work ethic. Inside, the losses of comrades affected her, and she confided that she expected to die in the war. Her armored exterior and purposeful distancing from others around her served to disguise the numerous emotional hurts, grief, and scars she bore.

Jaina Solo's personality was further changed by the Joining process she experienced in the Dark Nest Crisis and subsequent Swarm War. She temporarily lost her individuality, sharing the thoughts of the other Jedi Joiners and the Killik hives. She lost some portion of her individual will to the collective mind of the Killiks, dominated by Raynar Thul, but was eventually un-Joined and regained her full personality. At the start of the Second Galactic Civil War, Solo became increasingly worried, fearful, and resentful of her twin, a marked change from their childhood days of comradeship. She was particularly annoyed over his instant promotion to colonel, a rank she worked years to achieve.

The continued losses of family, friends and comrades took their toll on Solo, despite the joys she experienced in the company of her family and close friends such as Kyp Durron, Jagged Fel, and Zekk. She was as determined as ever in order to complete her missions, whether that be hunting down renegade Dark Jedi Alema Rar or training for a fight against Caedus. At one point, she pushed herself to the point where Jagged Fel thought she was overdoing her preparations, wearing herself out. Still, Solo saw herself as the Sword of the Jedi, a lone warrior and the avatar of the Jedi Order, which caused her to maintain an intense workload and keep herself from too many close relationships. By the latter stages of the Second Galactic Civil War, Solo was determined to set herself against her brother, who now styled himself Darth Caedus. Though she was reluctant to admit it, she eventually came to realize that the Jacen she had known was dead.[88] While she valued the company of her friends, family, and comrades, Solo felt she had to deal with Caedus herself, going so far as to seek out her father's nemesis Boba Fett for training in how to defeat the Sith Lord.
