Introduction
Ichika Masudo is a Jedi Knight, a noble of the Atrisian Masudo Clan, and a member of what remains of the New Jedi Order.
As a strong swordswoman, skilled duellist, and dedicated Jedi, Ichika has weathered galactic conflict, and remained affixed to her path. As an Empath, she has tended to the minds around her, and become a woman of varied talents after learning to embrace all that she is, while remaining anchored in her identity as an Atrisian woman.
The past year has seen her remain, for the most part, on Atrisia following the near-loss of it to the machinations of darkness. Now with the world surrounded by another shade of evil, she wonders if it isn't only a matter of time, or if her sanctuary is simply being left alone.

The Pink Atrisian
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.
Though Ichika was sent to the New 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.
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.
A Time of Loss
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? 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.
Return to 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 when war returned to continue battering the Alliance, the time had come to return more fully to the way of the sword, where she remained throughout the Alliance's fall, and decimation of the New Jedi Order.
Peace Never Lasts
After Atrisia routed the machinations of the Galactic Empire, which came to nonetheless be the nail in the coffin for the Galactic Allliance, Ichika remained on her homeworld, helping her people through the aftermath, and has fallen into remaining in the close to a year, since, for reasons not of her own making.

Ichika 'Daisy' Masudo is a member of the New Jedi Order, and a skilled duellist by way of the sword.
Her years as a Jedi Padawan were full of forging connections with her fellow padawans; testing of her beliefs, resolve, and emotions when faced with the Galactic Alliance's former allies, the overarching galactic war, and personal tragedy; and learning to balance her ingrained knowledge and identity with that of the Jedi Path, as well as learning to weather some of her greatest challenges, while engaging with Jedi training, and contributing her growing skills to the ongoing conflict.
The girl that would become known as Daisy was found in the aftermath of a drug bust operation on Zeltros, as a freshly orphaned child left alone in the high-end apartment of supposed parents, now deceased criminals - the Arkanian scientist Ardel Paskal, and a Zeltron, Essie Looros - with only a nanny droid to care for her. It was here that she was discovered by the Jedi Minato Masudo - who had a personal stake in the operation due to this dangerous and often lethal drug taking his wife and son from him in a speeder accident with an addict - when he felt her faint signs of life and strength in the Force. When the widow of her father wanted nothing to do with the child of another woman while in the throes of her profound grief and feelings of betrayal, Minato embraced the feeling that the Force was giving him a second chance at being a father in leading him to the wee girl. With the support of the family of the widow's brother-in-law, Minato pursued the adoption of the white-haired half-Zeltron babe, giving her the name of Ichika, meaning 'one thousand flowers', for his late wife's love of them.
But the more time Minato spent with the girl, the more something bothered him: what he saw in her eyes was unnervingly familiar, and later genetic testing only confirmed his suspicions... which the Jedi then chose to bury deep, seeing this as the best course of action, with the understanding that this was for the safety, wellbeing, and future of the girl. For a Jedi Investigator such as he, so well acquainted with truth, continuing to weave what was now a lie came all too easily. Regardless, with Ichika, Minato was able to pour the love he had for his late wife and son into her upbringing as a path through the remains of his own grief, and give her a strong connection not only to his own culture, but of Zeltros.
As for Zeltros, there were no living relatives, but the connections he made through his work as a Jedi gained him friends and acquaintances in many places, Zeltros included, through whom he was able to gain guidance in helping Daisy learn to control her pheromones and live with her strong empathic abilities once she was old enough to do so, and as time went on, Minato handled her learning of the racier aspects of Zeltron culture delicately and respectfully.
But when it came to her sensitivity in the Force, aside from guiding her in the typical learnings of a Jedi Initiate and what was necessary to help her have a relatively stable life with her innate burdens, Minato thought it best to hand off the bulk of her training to other Jedi once the foundations he set out to build in his daughter were laid, sending her to make her own way, her own mark, with the New Jedi Order.
