Lilikai Singan

Lilikai Singan is a Jedi Master stationed at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. She is a female human in her mid-forties, with medium brown skin, dark brown eyes, and long thick black hair that she usually wears in a single braid. She is easily distinguishable from other Jedi by her use of a double-bladed blue lightsaber, which is relatively uncommon during the time of the Clone Wars. Around the temple she is recognized as one of the better lightsaber duelists currently living, with proficiency in all of the major forms.

As a Jedi Guardian, Master Singan's duties at the Temple include instructing padawans, particularly in lightsaber combat and martial Force abilities. Vesper Syl'tine, Efnir Kis, and others studied these subjects under her during their Jedi training. In contrast to Firith Mobak, who has been teaching younglings and padawans for nearly a decade, Lilikai has only been serving as an instructor for just under a year. It is likely that as the Clone Wars wore on and the Jedi forces dwindled, it became more urgent for her to pass on her skills to the next generation of Jedi Knights than to continually risk herself on the front lines.

Prior to her posting on Coruscant, Lilikai's superiors frequently dispatched her to Ryloth on Jedi business. Here she encountered Nomi Amersu and Somi Amersu as children, and maintained a friendship with them as they grew to adolescence. When the Amersu sisters were 14 and war with the Separatists threatened Ryloth, Lilikai took them with her to Coruscant for their own safety. Master Singan still shares a close bond with both of the Amersu twins. A few years ago, she formally took Somi on as her padawan, and has trained her one-on-one ever since.

Lilikai was last seen in the Hall of a Thousand Fountains during the Great Jedi Purge, Force jumping over a railing and into a mass of attacking clone troopers after telling Nomi and Efnir to run for their lives (and telling Nomi she loved her). Somi always believed that Lilikai was still alive because Somi did not feel Lilikai's death through the Force (others were more skeptical). However, after significant effort, Somi was vindicated when she made a Force connection with Lilikai just long enough to sense intense love, equally intense physical pain, and the words "Trust me, I will come for you."
