Name: Ulanh Batarr
Species: Human
Age: 21
Rank/Title: Jedi Apprentice and Researcher of Archaeology
Planet of Origin/Birth: Jedha
Force Sensitive: Yes
Appearance:
Ulanh maintains an athletic build within a five-foot-five frame. Her straight raven-colored hair is kept as low as her shoulder blades, if not braided or tied in a bun. She has dark brown eyes filled with purpose, and a warm countenance that displays both charm and maturity. Ulanh wears the standard trousers and loose tunic of the Jedi that are shaded in the dark grey and blue colors of the Exploration Corp. Due to the nature of her work, she invests the most care in her footwear. Her knee high weather grade explorer boots are custom made to withstand a great deal of punishment while providing quality comfort. They are coveted possessions, second only to her lightsaber.
Skills/Abilities:
Form VII - Sokan: A lightsaber principle that utilizes the surrounding environment to gain a tactical advantage in combat.
Force Jump: Coupled with her Art of Movement, this preference for Force jumping allows her to travel fast with unhindered fluidity.
Art of Movement: Ulanh excels in this standard Jedi practice that uses the force to improve agility and reflexes. It accentuates her skill in mountaineering and traversing all types of terrain and obstacles.
Archaeologist: The study and analysis of ancient cultures and their artifacts, with a particular interest in xenoarchaeology, which is the study of vanished off-world or alien cultures through artifacts and ruins left behind.
Survivalist: Per family tradition, every Batarr must know how to not only live off of the land, but to respect it as well. Though the basic principles were ingrained at a young age, she's maintained her heritage's ways by incorporating other skills, tools, and knowledge learned from the Jedi academy.
Weaknesses:
Self-doubt: Despite ruminating praise, she finds herself second guessing her abilities more often than she should. Ulanh has difficulty maintaining confidence, which in turn lessens her trust with herself and with the force.
Uncommunicative: While on a social level she handles herself with relative ease, when it comes to deep relationships and self-growth, Ulanh has a hard time confronting those kinds of interpersonal issues, preferring to internalize her feelings and act like nothing is wrong, over confronting them head on.

Personality:
Ulanh is an inquisitive thrill seeker with a warm sense of humor. She approaches everything in life with a mild-mannered disposition, exuding a passion for all forms of art, culture, and history. Her down-to-earth and welcoming personality makes for an approachable person in most social settings. Spiritually and intellectually, she is viewed by her contemporaries as wise beyond her years. Yet beneath Ulanh's finer qualities are harbored emotions of inadequacy and self-doubt. While her path as a Jedi seemed an inevitable conclusion, she does not know if she's capable of fulfilling her duties. Such distrust in her own abilities continues to hamper her true potential as a Jedi Knight. However, Ulanh's emphatic drive to protect others supersedes all insecurities. She is willing to stand up and fight for others, even when she cannot fight for herself.
History:
Born on the Holy Land of Jedha, Ulanh was introduced to the raw nature of the force at a young age. Her family ran a small time shelter for tourists that made spiritual pilgrimages. Her father was also an independent tour guide, showcasing old temples and ruins of ancient cities. She was absolutely enamored by it all. The mysticism behind old relics and antiques fascinated the little girl more than anything. Ulanh spent hours reading tomes and listening to traveler's stories about the many different cultures and histories of the galaxy.
She was eventually recruited by an off-duty Jedi Acquisition Officer. After failing to spot any candidates in his assigned sector, the recruiter decided to travel to Jedha for clarity. In doing so, he signed up on her father's tour, which ended up stranded in a cave due to extreme weather conditions. Coming to their rescue was none other than little Ulanh, the Force-sensitive child, who navigated the group back to safety.
Ulanh would go on to pass the trials of the Jedi academy at Coruscant, and was selected by a Master for one-on-one training. She wanted to pursue her passion for ancient history, and specialized in the field of archaeology. She was assigned to the Exploration Corps by the Council of Reassignment, and would embark on a series of peacekeeping expeditions across the galaxy.
