Legend

this haughty Arkanian girl was one of the many students of the Force who were being trained at the Jedi Academy on Coruscant, during the height of the Clone Wars. She resented the fact that Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy - otherwise known as Scout - took advantage of other options than the Force when faced with a challenge, especially when Scout used trickery and knowledge of another being's idiosyncracies to defeat them. Hanna and Scout met in the second round of the Apprentice Tournament, and Master Ilena Xan made them fight in the dark, so that they were forced to fight in a more "real-world" situation. Hanna was momentarily distracted when Scout chose to move into a fighting position among the students watching their match, and she tried to call foul. Scout responded by saying that, in the real world, innocent bystanders were everywhere. Master Xan was forced to agree with Scout, and Hanna pressed her advantages of size and her connection to the Force. She managed to pin Scout, but Scout refused to yield, claiming that the pain wasn't sufficient to quit. Just as Hanna was about to bring her lightsaber down on Scout's neck, Scout managed to roll her over and pin Hanna. In the confusion of the maneuver, Scout also managed to get a choke-hold on Hanna, and Hanna was forced to yield the match before she passed out. Although there was little friendship between them, Hanna confided to Scout that she feared being killed during the Clone Wars. She wanted the Jedi Order to persevere, but was afraid that her death would be wasted like so many others.
