Nima Tyruti is a Youngling, a ten year old Jedi Initiate with a knack for understanding others and a desire to help others. A Twi'lek whose mother was a slave, she--rescued by Master Jordyan Bell--had a promising future. Yet the Clone Wars have begun, and the Jedi Order is changing.

War destroys all things, and even the Temple itself has its dramas and dangers.
