Padawan Tess Venn

Species: Human (female)
Age: 18 standard years
Occupation: Jedi Padawan (apprentice under Master Vayla Sorren)
Alignment: Neutral Good (curious, idealistic, eager to prove herself)
Personality: Bright-eyed, energetic, slightly impulsive, with a big heart and a hunger for adventure

Tess is a young Human woman with short, windswept dark brown hair, hazel eyes, and a faint spray of freckles across her nose. She wears practical padawan robes — a brown tunic with a light green sash, plus a utility belt and simple leather boots. A thin braid behind her right ear marks her apprentice status.
Born and raised on Corellia, Tess was discovered by the Jedi Order at age six and sent into training. She’s only been on Keryndal for a few months, assigned as Master Sorren’s apprentice to gain practical field experience. Despite her training, Tess has a rebellious streak: she sneaks down to Brightstar Shipworks to visit her Aunt Kira, eager to hear stories of real-world adventurers and non-Jedi heroes.

Physical Description

Special abilities

Primary Style: Form I – Shii-Cho (the Determination Form)
The most basic, foundational style taught to all Padawans, emphasizing wide sweeps, disarming moves, and basic defense
Tess is still learning, and while she has potential, she’s working on refining her stance and transitions

Aspirational Interest: Form IV – Ataru (acrobatic, energetic)
Tess admires the flashy, agile fighting of more advanced Jedi and sometimes tries to mimic those moves — though she’s not formally trained in them yet
