Profile

Jaina, named after Han's mother, is born five minutes before her brother Jacen . The twins, and eventually their younger brother, Anakin, live at various safe havens for their first few years under the protection of Leia's handmaiden, Winter. The Jedi Academy series depicts the twins adventures on Coruscant. In Dark Apprentice, Jaina helps her brother defend their unconscious uncle from the spirit of Sith Lord Exar Kun. In The Crystal Star, Jaina is kidnapped by and used, along with her siblings, in a plot to take advantage of their Force powers. In the Corellian Trilogy, Jaina is again kidnapped but escapes. In the Young Jedi Knights series, Jaina travels to Yavin 4 with her brother to begin her Jedi training.

Throughout the New Jedi Order series, Jaina pursues a life separate from her twin brother and becomes Mara Jade Skywalker's apprentice. Jaina progresses quickly as a Jedi and a pilot, eventually joining Rogue Squadron. She also develops a romantic relationship with Jagged Fel. She briefly becomes the apprentice of fallen Jedi Kyp Durron. Jaina's understanding and manipulation of Yuuzhan Vong technology causes them to associate her with their trickster goddess. She is present at the conclusion of the war with the Yuuzhan Vong.

In The Joiner King, Jaina and the Jedi Zekk are joined in the Killik hive. Jacen tricks them into attacking a Chiss base to provoke a war between the Chiss and the Killiks; Jaina, furious, vows that she will never fly with Jacen again. In the Legacy of the Force series, Jacen throws Jaina out of the Alliance Navy when she refuses to follow his order to destroy a crippled ship. She senses at this time a growing darkness in her twin. Jacen eventually becomes the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Caedus, and Jaina realizes her duty as the "Sword of the Jedi" requires her to stop him. She turns to Boba Fett to train her. After a long battle, Jaina eventually kills Jacen when he lets down his guard to warn his wife and daughter of an impending attack.

Jaina is known for being more like her father than her other siblings, exhibiting an aptitude for mechanics and piloting,as well as demonstrating some of Han's more impulsive and stubborn characteristics. She is easily frustrated, but is good at thinking on her feet, and dedicated to what she started. Jaina had difficulties understanding the emotional distance between her and her mother as she grew up, and as a result felt closer to her father. However, during the Yuuzhan Vong War, Jaina discovered she had more attributes with her mother than she first thought, resulting in a much closer mother and daughter bond. As Jaina became older, many noted she could act like Leia in an instant. Until Jacen’s turn to the Dark Side of the Force, she was especially close to her twin brother as they shared a bond similar to the one between her uncle and mother


Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I am not actually Jaina Solo. Jaina and the entire Solo-Skywalker family belong to George Lucas and the writers of the Star Wars Extended Universe. This journal is strictly for muse writing and rp goodness. Also, while I am a fan of the New Jedi Order, I think we can all agree that it is, at times, a bit heavy handed with “the angst”. Because of that, this journal will be set when Jaina is 16 – directly following her training and right at the start of the Yuuzhan Vong conflict. It is possible that certain posts will take place either before or after this time period, depending on my mood. There will also be some posts in here that take place in an alternate universe that I call the Smuggler!verse. In this AU, it is Jaina that drifted from the Jedi, choosing instead to take up her father’s old life as a smuggler. Oh yes...Mun is also 21+]
