Left on the footsteps on the Coruscant Jedi Temple, Thessa's entire presence was a mystery from the start, though some of the more superstitious Jedi came to the conclusion she was born of the Force. Though extremely unlikely, there was certainly something about her that alerted many of the Jedi Masters as she seemed unusually strong in the Force, even as a babe. As she grew up among the Order, she was taken in to train in the way of Jedi and the Light Side of the Force, going over teachings when she came to the age to be able to read and write along with basic combat techniques as she grew into her preteen years. Among the temple, many there often felt her presence, feeling calmed and inspired at the same time and often her peers sought her out for advice and guidance. Despite that she didn't know much more than them, she came to expect the welcomed feeling from others, though she often kept them at arm's length - feeling none of them truly attempted to get to know her.

At the age of thirteen, during tensions between the Empire and the Republic, the temple was attacked. Thessa watched from the shadows, wide-eyed as she watched the destruction and sheer power from the invading Sith. Somehow, by a miracle, the same aura that lead others to her was now masking her entire presence - even to the Sith Lord that lead the charge. As they walked away, all the young girl could do was crawl away in a panic to hide before the temple was nearly leveled. By chance or fate, she had found the one place that provided shelter, leaving her one of the rare few to survive and the only one with injuries.

Before long, she was clawing out of the rubble when she felt Honutu's hand grab her and pushed the debris away using the Force. Instantly, she was thankful and followed him all the way to Tython where she was taken care of. Despite her silence the entire trip (and even spite Honutu's attempts to get her to talk), she deliberately used her Aura to make the older Jedi feel comfort in her presence - in a way to show him how she felt (which she later explained). Only a month past and Thessa found herself summoned to the Council chambers where she and he met once more, only she spoke to him this time and smiled. It was a pleasant surprise, but a welcomed one, when the Jedi Masters put her under Honutu as his Padawan.

What first started out as a visit to places for meditation and going over the Jedi Code, soon turned into something different as Honutu lead her to darker places, giving her gentle warnings as he did so - going against the Council. However instead of warning the Council or expressing any sort of worries, she simply accepted the different viewpoint and did as her Master asked, meditating at places of darkness. It was difficult at first, feeling and fighting against such negative emotions such as fear, anger, and sadness, but the Council had been correct - she seemed very difficult to truly corrupt. While she had nightmares, never once did she flinch from the Light, often displaying an unusual tenancy for kindness and compassion.

Eventually their journey together lead them to Onderon, to a Sith Temple where war broke out. Since then, she has been following her Master into battle, defending the Republic without fail. Along with her strong combat prowess (though nothing like her Master), her Aura often inspired troops into action, almost making them as courageous as the most valiant heroes, turning smaller battles in their favor - though the Sith greatly outnumbered the Republic on the jungle planet. To this day, there might yet be more to her powers, but she is uniquely gifted none-the-less and hopes that it's enough to defend the capital.
