Character Background
• History: I am not responsible for any article you find by clicking a link on Wookieepedia
• Core Relationships:
Jacen Solo- Jaina’s twin brother is the most important relationship in her life. She’s used to always being aware of him to some degree through their Force connection. He’s a trusted confidant and the first person she turns to for help. While the both have distinct identities, they’re usually found together and complement each other’s skills.
Anakin Solo- Jaina takes her role as the oldest child very seriously and considers it her job to take care of her younger brothers. It’s hard to truly believe that with only five minutes between her and Jacen, but she very much considers protecting Anakin to be her responsibility.
Han Solo- Jaina is a bit of a Daddy’s Girl. She’s the kid her father understands the best because she loves learning about spaceship maintenance and flying from him. In addition to her mechanical proficiency, Jaina gets her notion of a plan from Han. Aka she will just start doing something and not consider the next steps.
Leia Organa Solo- Leia was very busy when Jaina was tiny and so she wasn’t around as much as Han. Jaina still really respects her mother, she just doesn’t realize how very much like her she is because she never met Leia as a teenager. Jaina finds it difficult to separate her loyalty to the New Republic from her loyalty to her family because of the role Leia plays.
Luke Skywalker- Since she was a little girl, Jaina has wanted to be a Jedi. This means lots of listening to Uncle Luke and occasionally begging him to let her take her training just a little bit farther. As an uncle he’s also a more fun adult than her parents.
Zekk- Zekk is currently one of Jaina’s great regrets. He was a close friend and his poor background never influenced her view of him. The problem is, she never accounted for that background and was unprepared for the way Dark Side influences can prey on it. As much as she wants to just go back to being friends now that he’s away from the Empire Reborn, he’s not a machine she can just fix.
Character Personality Through Key Moments
(2+) Positive Experiences:
Jaina is incredibly loyal to her friends and doesn’t hesitate to help them out. While Tenel Ka losing an arm in a training accident can’t be called a positive experience, the fact that Jaina didn’t even hesitate to travel home with her to help was positive. She knew it was the right decision when the group had to foil several assassination attempts that they wouldn’t have been able to address on their own.
If asked for her defining traits, Jaina would say her love of mechanics and flying. While her mother has made it clear she can’t have her own ship until she’s sixteen, that hasn’t stopped her from flying everything she gets her hands on. Early in her time at the Jedi Academy, she combined the two by repairing a crashed TIE fighter she found in the jungle so she could take it up.
The repeated kidnappings that constitute her childhood cannot be properly called a positive experience. However, they have made her into a creative problem solver. Even at the age of five, Jaina decided as the eldest child it was her responsibility to rescue herself and her brothers and all the other kids in the facility. When she realized that Hethrir would suppress her abilities if she used the Force for anything larger than lifting a handful of sand she strategically applied the tiniest bits of telekinesis in her escape attempt.
(2+) Negative Experiences:
Jaina inherited a certain tendency toward impulsiveness from her father. While she often does have good ideas, she doesn’t necessarily think them through. For example, she decided it would be a good idea to commandeer a crashed TIE fighter to defend the Jedi Academy. She did not account for the fact that once she fired, the other dozen or so TIEs were going to realize she wasn’t on their side. Furthermore, when reinforcements arrived they thought she was just another TIE so she had to do some frantic hailing.
She very much wants to fix every situation she encounters. While this leads to some very creative fixes to mechanical challenges, it doesn’t always work out when she’s dealing with people. She kept trying over and over again to get Zekk to turn away from the Dark Side. It took her a long time to accept that this was something he could only figure out for himself no matter how much she wanted it to be otherwise.
Deer Country Attributes
• Canon Powers: Jaina is training to be a Jedi Knight and is quite strong with the Force. These abilities include:
Telekinesis: She is very capable in this area, being able to manipulate both large and extremely small objects. She used the Force to nudge individual molecules into place while forming the crystal for her lightsaber.
Precognition: Jedi can see into the future. For Jaina this largely takes the form of a very immediate "danger sense". While Jedi are capable of seeing farther into the future, this generally involves dedicated meditation and she's frankly not that good at sitting still.
Environmental senses: She has enough awareness of her surrounding environment to detect inanimate objects such as training remotes. It is much easier for her to detect the presence of anything actually ALIVE.
Force Impressions: She is also able to sense images and feelings from others. This is much more reliable if she's established a Force bond with the person in question, with her strongest bond by far being to her twin brother but others existing. These abilities are generally empathy rather than straight up telepathy.
Enhanced physical abilities: The Force enhances a Jedi's physical capabilities allowing them to jump higher, run faster, lift more etc. Also do flips. Jedi training involves an inordinate number of flips.
Enhanced senses: Basically what it says on the tin
Jedi Mind Trick: The classic not the droids you're looking for stunt, Jaina is capable of influencing the weak minded.
