[B]History:[/B]
Valka, was born into a world where the one true way to know somebody was to fight them, to become truly centered and at peace with one's self one must first master the body, before they attempt to master the mind. As a young girl she looked up to her mother, a master at Echani art of unarmed combat and a proficient vibrosword and aspired to meet her level and then surpass her one day. Though she was not destined to live upon Eshan for her entire life, A Jedi consular sent on a diplomatic mission, to Eshan sensed the little girl during one of her sparring sessions with her mother. And so Valka was shipped off-world to Corusant, and that was where her knew life would begin, unfettered as ever the little girl deiced, that she would still try and become something, make something of herself.

Valka because of her daily sparring that she took a part in for her entire life up to the point of going to the Jedi temple, had an advantage of experience and skill when it came to the martial side of the initiates training. She was quick on her feet, and had a calm determination about her, that helped her advance eventually becoming one of the best fighters in her clan. But of course she had one very prominent flaw among several, this was her lack of skill when it came to using her force abilities. She would pass her lessons, but would have a tendency to lag behind. This lead to of course frustration and lack of better hope a brief period of giving up, but her instructors continued to push her, refusing to give up on her. 

In time her initiate trials had come and gone as most things do and she was determined to have the aptitude to become a padawan. The High Council in an act of either savage cruelty, or genius that Valka would not understand till later paired her with master. A Givin Jedi Master by the name of Kasil Archilas, a Jedi Consular and very talented in the art of the force. They got off to a rough start with Valka unable to answer his in standard Givin edict quadratic equation greeting. This lead to a rather odd first encounter between the two and the start of a very odd friendship. And so training started once again, but rather than focusing on combat orientated teachings that Valka leaned more closer to, Kasil began to push her out of her comfort zone. And by the end of her tutelage under Master Archilas she had learned to use the force, and was moderate at doing so. And so as her initiate trials had come and gone her trails of Knighthood went as well with little flair or pomp. And from the ages of 23 to 35 she served as a Jedi Knight working under the Council of First Knowledge as a Jedi Shadow. And she was tested in her line of work the corruption seemed to pull and tug at the mind like a miasma. For a span she took a Padawan along with her, even though at first she was against the idea, knowing in her line of work that the dark side of the force could easily drag one in and never let one go. But under the High Council's constant suggestion her resolve broke and, she trained the young Padawan in the ways of the force. 

One day though she was recalled to the High Council, and she was appointed a Jedi Master, and work continued as normal. Five years later with the start of the clone wars, her work load increased once again. With more and more Sith intrusions and artifacts appearing and war spreading across the galaxy, she never seemed to find solace from her work, not that she seemed to mind. And by the end of the clone wars, she had seen seem combat across the galaxy. She had recently had come back to the Temple back from an operation in the outer rim to report to the Council of First Knowledge of her findings when Operation Knightfall began......
