"There is no emotion?.. Really?.. Bah." - Pisti Caleida
Pisti is, in person, everything a Jedi should not be. Scatterbrained, playful, brazen, and highly spirited. She's taken her own view on the Jedi Code, choosing to believe that emotions should be in balance with the individual to reach peace. As a result, Pisti - while not truly ruled by her feelings - appears as a unfettered storm of curiosity and optimistic whims. More, what she expresses is backed by a high level of confidence and self-assurance, which by no small means had lengthened her years apprenticed as a Jedi Padawan. To this day, she is warned for the dangers of her passion and seemingly reckless pursuits.
While it may appear a miracle that someone so unfit for the role has ascended to Knighthood, Pisti has much to offer in terms of compassion and bravery. She's outspoken and straightforward, causing her to incite meaningful change as a protector of the weak and downtrodden. Moreover, she is brilliant in high-stakes action and adept at planning and executing complex strategies. She truly shines as a guardian, one sent ahead to rouse the people and lead them to the light of hope.[/color=white]
S T R E N G T H S--&--W E A K N E S S E S
+ Uplifting spirits
Pisti is an outspoken and playful optimist. Cheering people up is what she does best.
+ Sith Lords are our Specialty
While hardly seeming a threat, Pisti is a brilliant lightsaber duelist who gives her challengers a run for their money.
- Scatterbrained
She has a tendency to forget. Everything. This expands to the Force, as she's horrible with telepathic appliances of the Force.
- Rarely serious
Her cheery disposition is a double-edged sword. While she motivates others, she's rarely taken serious on subjects that matter. Moreover, her advice often falls on deaf ears.
- Loose cannon
Adventurous, curious, and by no means inclined to follow given directions, Pisti tends to wander off. Both physically and metaphorically.

"But there's a whole galaxy out there!" - Pisti Caleida
Pisti Caleida, born to a Devaronian and a Antoan on the moons of Bogden, remembers little that is meaningful of her childhood. The Jedi identified her as Force sensitive early and with her parent's permission took her to the Jedi Temple of Voss. As times changed and the Jedi Order(s) evolved, so shifted her home. Voss, Kashyyyk, Commenor, Romi Jade's enclave on Jakku, Tython, and finally Coruscant. This instilled in her a wanderlust that was unmatched by the other initiates. No sooner than she'd become eligible for Padawanhood and Pisti - with her newfound freedom - was caught sneaking out of the temple on numerous occasions.
In an attempt to teach her self-restraint, they paired her with an older Jedi Master. A dusty philosopher - a Whiphid by the name of Kraud who'd served alongside the Silver Jedi for years before unifying with his brethren in the New Jedi Order. Under the thoughtful mentorship of the Whiphid, Pisti grew into the opposite of what was expected. Kraud tailored his teachings to her strengths, shaping her into an eccentric guardian. Together the pair traveled through the Slice, Wild Space, and even the Outer Rim during the days of the Maw. Only after the better part of two decades, was she recognized by the Order as a Jedi who could be elevated to Knighthood. Now, Pisti roams the galaxy in search of good to aid and evil to oppose.

"Spice the revnog up with some sulphur, that'll liven me up a little." - Pisti Caleida
As the daughter of a Devaronian and Atoan, Pisti's physiology far exceeds that of humans. She lacks a centralized heart like the Atoans do, instead possessing thousands of smaller hearts that are evenly distributed throughout her body, from feet to fingertips. It makes her stronger and faster than the average near-human, but also far more susceptible to bleeding. As part-Devaronian, most notable by her orange complexion, Pisti endures heat far better than most would, to the point of rarely suffering burns. Ingesting toxins are easily nullified by her two livers and sulphur further boosts her physicality, albeit temporarily.
Pisti has capitalized on the strengths that her physicality offers in her Jedi training. Her main discipline has been lightsaber combat, proving herself remarkably brilliant with the blade. She can quickly outpace and unbalance opponents, relying on her superior bladework in tandem with the defensive capacities of the light-side of the Force.
Unfortunately, her stellar physical prowess does not in any way translate to her mastery of the Force. She is horrible with telepathic skills - unable to muster the discipline to calm beasts or influence minds. Moreover, her sensory skills are not sufficiently developed to warn her of veiled threats and she typically cannot sustain her telekinetic holds for long. In short, in the ways of the Force she still has much to learn.

Pisti carries a single blue-bladed lightsaber of a sleek metallic design with copper-coloured plating. Her usual gear consists of traditional Jedi utility items. A comlink, whipcord, food capsules, an emergency medpac, a small glowrod, and an aquata breather.
