Born of a tryst between a Zeltron whore and an Imperial General, the girl that became Ichika Masudo would end up walking a very different path than what her origins might have lead to. Adopted by an Atrisian Jedi Master who then retired - in the midst of galactic war - to raise her on his homeworld of Atrisia, Ichika went on to officially become a Jedi Padawan in her teens during the ongoing conflict.
She was trained initially by the Jedi Aaran Tafo, then multiple Jedi mentors after his disappearance and personal, core-shaking tragedy marked a period of her early adulthood, yet despite these challenges, she proved herself one of the Order's most skilled bladed combatants and ultimately aided in ending the long war. Peace ensued thereafter that ultimately saw her path altered once again, when she looked to invest in her personal development beyond the way of the sword, a shift that lead her to where she is today.
Now an experienced Jedi Knight, Ichika has done time tending to the minds of the Order and advising the therapeutic community outside of the Order when called upon, addressing concerns around Force-based afflictions and the fallout of Force Wars, but with the greater return of war, the subjugation of the core, and the increased need for those that can fight in the wake of a split in the order, Ichika has returned by and large to the way of the sword.

TELEKINESIS -
In the span of time following the battle of Ilum, after a daring rescue of one of her peers from the Imperial Blacksite at Dorin, fate introduced a shift in Ichika's path that rocked her to her core when first, her master vanished without so much as a cursory note, then soon thereafter when she was grappling with the vacuum left by his influence, the man who had adopted and raised her, Minato Masudo, died peacefully in his sleep. Minato wasn't terribly young, even when he had taken it upon himself to raise her, and she knew it was only a matter of time, but the shock was no less significant... and yet, it wasn't this that shook her so deeply. When attending his funeral, and later sorting through his belongings with his other living relatives, she happened upon records pertaining to her, and facts that flew in the face of most of what she had been raised to believe about her origins.
THE PINK PADAWAN OF ATRISIA
Though Ichika was sent to the Jedi Order to initiate her training as a Padawan in her teens, she had already received a significant measure of training in some respects: tutelage in the Atrisian way of the sword by a sensei of the same school her adoptive father belonged to, some foundational tutelage in the Force, and guidance in how to manage, control, and direct her inherent empathic abilities. These served her well as she began training under the Jedi Master Aaran Tafo in the midst of the long-raging Second Great Hyperspace War, growing her skills, connecting with and weathering challenges with her Jedi peers, and forming new friendships along the way.
THE UNEXPECTED KNIFE
This shock was far worse, and the swell of anger at being lied to so thoroughly, that he had never felt he could trust her with this information? That Minato had persisted in such a lie, concealing the truth of the man who contributed to her existence - none other than a high-ranking Imperial - and his less than altruistic reasons for doing this, changed the face of the man she had only known as 'father' for her entire life. The more she thought about it, the more she felt herself shake, her face hot with this sharp influx of near-rage that knocked her off of her metaphorical feet in matched fear of the feeling. Her solution? To run, and hide, until what she was feeling would pass, fearing that she might be capable of doing something she would regret, and shamed at feeling unable to control it.
It would be quite some time before she could be brought around to coming out of this seclusion, while the war would continue to rage on.
In the span of time leading up to the battle of Exegol, Ichika made her way back to the New Jedi Order and the Alliance to find much had changed: many of her peers had been accorded the rank of Knight, and one of them had been lost. It was a bittersweet thing, reconnecting with friends in this way, and with her own personal losses still affecting her to a degree, it made reintegrating less easy than it had been in her teens, but soon enough she came around and began to settle back into this way of life with the resumption of her training, now by multiple mentors, and her contributions in the last stages of the war's third phase, where she ultimately proved herself one of the Order's most skilled wielders of the blade.
REDISCOVERING THE PATH
The years following the defeat of the Brotherhood of the Maw at Exegol emerged as a time of peace that began with post-war cleanup and stabilisation of affected worlds within and without the space occupied by those planet-devourers. It was in this postscript that Ichika was finally accorded the rank of Knight, and already her thoughts were turning to what she could do in this new era now that her blade was less needed; in truth, she had seen, felt, and heard the fallout in those around her - he war's impact on the hearts and minds of her Jedi peers and beyond gave her direction for where she could focus herself next. This would result in her putting down her blade, at least as an active combatant, to focus on herself on development of her skills as an empath and person to talk to, well and truly equipping her to be a boon to the mental health community and the Order as more than just a skilled swordswoman.
THE NEXT PHASE
Settling into the practice of aiding in the continued recovery and ongoing care of the minds of the Order and her work with the community outside of that contributed to a personal feeling of fulfilment, but with war returning to continue battering the Alliance, the time had come to return more fully to the way of the sword.
