“There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long range risks of comfortable inaction.”
Backstory
Jadla was born on Mirial only a few years before the Empire rose to power. Doubtless if she’d been born but a few years earlier, she would have been identified as Force sensitive and brought to the Jedi for training. As it was, the timing protected her from the Jedi Purge and when her parents noticed her nascent sensitivity, they took great pains to hide her and to stress the danger she would be in if anyone found out.
Jadla accepted those lessons… at first. Time and time again, she found herself chafing at the restrictions on her, eventually learning that she could channel her abilities into medicine and helping the people around her in that way while still trying to maintain her secrecy. With the fall of the Empire, Jadla discarded the veil of deception that had kept her alive, proudly embracing her Force sensitivity and searching out Luke for training, becoming one of the first Jedi in his new order.
