Evaoshi

''"No one is beyond redemption." ''

Rure'vaosh'ioshi, better known as Evaoshi, was a Chiss Jedi Knight born uniquely strong in the Force. Hailing from the Sith planet Thule, Evaoshi unwillingly walked a different path than her brother, finding haven in the Galactic Republic and joining the ranks of the Jedi as a servant of the Light.

Pilgrims
Evaoshi was born a pilgrim in an unholy land. The last child of a massive Chiss family on the Outer Rim planet of Thule, she was the only girl among a sea of mostly hardened boys who routinely spent nights in the horrid local prison, the subject of invasive interrogation by the Sith inquisitors there who served as the region's law enforcement. Her parents feared she would be unable to survive in the rough environment, though fortunately for her, her older brother, the second youngest child by the name of Agathi, protected her from her other brothers at any cost, often at the expense of his own health.

Agathi was an sickly, small child just like his sister, and though he endured nightly beatings for her safety, the two shared a mostly unspoken mutual affection that neither of them had felt towards their distant parents, much less their cruel other siblings. Eventually, however, family tensions reached a boiling point, and in Evaoshi's defense, Agathi murdered one of his older brothers. Though he insisted it was in his sister's defense and in spite of her testimony, his furious parents forced him out of the house, effectively disowning him. Agathi took to the streets and never returned, leading Evaoshi to believe he had died.

Alone with no one to protect her, Evaoshi realized she had to learn to defend herself from her brothers and other potential dangers, much like her brother had before his eviction. When physical defense failed to save her, she began to rely on another secret gift she had long possessed: a curious arcane power to influence the minds of people who wanted to hurt her.

None of her brothers dared to lay a finger on her then, partly out of fear of her power and partly because she had relentlessly pacified their minds upon any of their attempts to attack. Her parents were equally terrified. They were vaguely aware that Agathi had special powers as well and went to great lengths to suppress him, but it was clear Evaoshi was too powerful even in her young age to be deterred.

Something had to be done. Both of her parents were immensely wary of Force wielders thanks to their prior occupations, and the irrational fear of their children one day turning on them plagued their dreams for weeks. Not content to throw her out into the streets like her brother or much less let her fall into the hands of the nefarious Sith, her parents smuggled a holocom from an Imperial munitions warehouse and contacted the Jedi Council on Tython, asking for a favor.

The father ordered Evaoshi to be silent and carried her to the nearest spaceport in a small trunk. Avoiding nosy inquisitors, the Chiss man delivered his daughter to a robed individual within the spaceport, who wished him well and quickly departed the planet on a rickety shuttle. However, instantly, surface-to-air turrets began to fire upon the shuttle, attempting to shoot it down. Once the shuttle narrowly escaped Thule's atmosphere, a cadre of black suited agents surrounded the relieved man and abducted him. Immediately after, several inquisitors infiltrated the family's home and absconded with the mother as well, murdering the rest of the boys to leave no witnesses.

Meanwhile, at the Jedi Temple on Tython, even the Order's wisest masters were perplexed by the arrival of the innocent and powerful little Chiss girl from the Sith garrison world of Thule.
