Personal history
Xsosa was perhaps the last youngling accepted as a full Paduwan before Order 66 was implemented. She had just left the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to join her master, when she felt the cries of the dying younglings in her mind.
Xsosa's master's ship was forbidden from leaving its platform, so her master sent her, along with his astromech droid Ace, to hide in the deep undercity of Coruscant with some loyal friends, one of whom was a starship tech. She managed to avoid detection long enough to get a lift offworld, working as a starship tech's apprentice.
With a knack for fixing things, Xsosa bargained and cajoled her way onto ships, freighters, and smuggler ships, fixing things along the way to earn her keep, until she eventually made it back to Tatooine, where her parents lived. The process took about 4 years.
Since then, Xsosa has been lying low, working as a tech to help out wherever she could find work, biding her time and hoping to find someone who can continue her instruction in the living Force. She has maintained her beliefs, and still exercises daily practice and meditation whenever possible, but she is deeply secretive about her beliefs, not discussing them even with her parents or her closest friends.
When she is forced to flee Tatooine over her association with a swoop gang and her friend Cassius, and falls into the arms of the budding Resistance, she believes that things happen for a reason, and the Force has guided her to this task. She is eager to liberate the enslaved Galaxy from this corrupt hands of the Empire, and their Sith allies...
