History:

    Shiara is a high priestess of the Order of Volanon, an all-female group of healers famous among the people of Dentrassi.  The Dentrassians have had no experience with the Force and have only recently heard of the philosophy of the Jedi.  In the past, all Force sensitive children were viewed as blessed by the gods, and moved into one of the several semi-religious orders that roamed the planet.  Shiara came to study with Master Rhikkid Stor so that she could learn Jedi meditation techniques and methods of focusing the Force.

   She constructed a lightsaber, partially against her will, because Master Stor convinced her of the value of the concentration exercises involved in its construction and training to use it.  She is very strong willed and most Force abilities used against her are ineffective.
