OVERVIEW & HISTORY
Master Eleena Sylari is an elderly Jedi Consular within The Jedi Order of The High Republic, known quietly for her patient demeanor and steady commitment to preserving the Order's knowledge. Born to a modest corporate family on Denon, she entered the Order not by great prophecy but by a chance encounter with a passing Knight who sensed quiet potential in her contemplative mind.
Throughout her long life in service, Eleena has rarely sought the frontlines of conflict. Instead, her path has taken her to archives, study chambers, and the far edges of the Order's enclaves. She has offered her skills as a researcher and cultural mediator to a number of Jedi circles and allied factions- among them, The Hidden Enclave, where she supported efforts to preserve knowledge and guide young recruits during the Eclipse Rebellion against the Eternal Empire; and later, in a more advisory role, she quietly assisted some of the Ashlan Crusade's knightly orders, sharing scholarly insight and historical context that proved valuable during their early missions.
In recent years, she has settled primarily on Naboo, tending to the Jedi Archives and continuing her own quiet studies into the Living Force, forgotten traditions, and the subtle threads of galactic history, though she is still occasionally sought out for quiet counsel or obscure research when unusual matters arise. While she holds the rank of Master, she wears it lightly- known more as a patient archivist, a thoughtful researcher, and a calm listener than a wielder of influence.
Many who cross her path find a willing ear and a measured word of guidance- never prescriptive, always offered with gentle care. Though her lightsaber seldom leaves her side, few can recall the last time it was drawn. For Eleena, strength lies in understanding, remembering, and helping others find clarity amidst uncertainty.

APPEARANCE & ATTIRE
Master Eleena Sylari is a small, wiry woman whose presence is more felt than announced. Standing at about 1.60 meters (5'3"), she carries herself with a quiet dignity that illustrates the wear & tear of her years. Her hair, once dark, has turned a soft silver-white, worn loosely pinned or tucked under a simple hood when she is at work among the archives.
Her pale blue eyes are perhaps her most striking feature- steady, kind, and observant, with the faint creases of a lifetime spent squinting at old texts and watching people more closely than they notice. Her skin shows the fine lines and gentle wear of age, but there's an unmistakable warmth in her smile that has soothed many a troubled Padawan or restless Knight.
She dresses plainly, preferring muted robes in neutral tones: soft browns, faded creams, or deep Naboo reds, always layered for comfort rather than show. Her utility belt often carries small datapads, worn holobooks, or a simple tea pouch... little comforts she claims help her think more clearly. Her lightsaber, rarely seen in her hand, hangs at her side like an old tool, more a symbol of commitment than an instrument of battle.
Her lightsaber, crafted in her Padawan years, is an unadorned hilt of brushed, silver metal- a tool more than a trophy, carried more out of tradition than need.
There is nothing grand in her bearing; yet to those who pause long enough, Master Eleena Sylari appears as she is: a quiet keeper of memory, weathered by time but brightened by a calm, unwavering presence that outlasts the noise of more dramatic deeds.

PERSONALITY
Master Eleena Sylari is, at her core, a quiet observer of both people and history. She has a patient, listening nature that makes her easy to overlook in bustling halls- but those who sit with her soon find she remembers even the smallest details of their worries and joys. Soft-spoken and unfailingly polite, she rarely interrupts, preferring to ask thoughtful questions that gently steer others toward their own answers.
While not one for grand speeches, Eleena has a subtle sense of humor and an occasional sharp wit, often hidden behind her warm smile. She believes deeply that knowledge is best shared and that wisdom means accepting how much one does not know.
Though she avoids conflict where she can, she does not shrink from standing firm when principles are at stake. To her, the Force is as much a memory and living presence as a power to wield- a teacher that whispers through history and people alike.
She is known to fuss over students and colleagues alike: ensuring they eat properly, rest enough, and never forget to pause between assignments. Some mistake her gentleness for frailty- until they find themselves gently, but firmly, corrected by her precise words or quiet but unshakable resolve.TRAITS
Patient & Contemplative: Eleena has cultivated an almost unshakable calm over decades of study and mediation, preferring quiet reflection to hasty action.
Quietly Perceptive: She notices what others overlook- fleeting emotions, subtle shifts in tone, forgotten corners of the archives. This makes her an excellent confidante and researcher alike.
Scholarly & Curious: Her mind remains restless despite her age; she loves lost histories, unusual Force philosophies, and the hidden stories tucked away in the galaxy's fringes.
Stubbornly Idealistic: Even in a galaxy often ruled by force, Eleena holds fast to the belief that compassion and knowledge can prevail- sometimes at the cost of ignoring harsher truths.
Physically Frail: While time has slowed her step and softened her strength, the Force lends her an enduring vitality- her body may be weary, but her spirit is unbowed
Guarded Heart: She keeps her deepest thoughts and old regrets close, offering an open ear but rarely asking for help in return.
