Vi has a new look, baby! And I finally have a concrete timeline for her after Coruscant. (Click for better quality)
After spending many painful years on Coruscant, Vi finally finds a way off the planet with the help of a few friends. She leaves her old life behind and embarks on several adventures. She connects with a rebel faction and helps them with the odd job here and there. However, she is very aware of the fact that she is one of the few remaining force-sensitive people alive with Jedi training. This fact weighs heavily on her and she tries her best to conform into the Jedi standard, but she feels like a fraud. She had been a terrible student, and it didn’t seem fair that the Jedi who were more skilled, confident, and powerful were the ones that died during the purge.
When she was young, it hadn’t been her choice to go to the temple and follow the Jedi path. Her parents had lived in poverty. When they discovered that Vi was force-sensitive, they sent her to the temple in hopes of providing her with a better life, but she never really fit in. Now, she’s faced with a choice: abandon the Jedi path even though she’s one of the few survivors, or follow her own path.
To help her on this self-discovery journey, she travels to Glee Anslem and reconnects with her family. She finds her brother, Sookin, on Glee Anslem. He was the leader of a small rebel faction on the planet. Their father had been the leader of this group initially, but he was captured and publicly executed by the Imperials. Their mother was captured too and she was transported to a work camp on the planet, filled with other native nautolans to do back breaking work. Sookin stepped up in his father’s place to lead the rebels, but their morale was low. They had endured many losses. When Vi arrived, it sparked hope within the group. Sookin knew of the Jedi’s skill and he knew Vi would be the one to change the tide of the conflict. Sookin devised a plan to infiltrate and free the prisoners in the work camp. Vi was hesitant at first because she had come to this planet to discover who she was outside of being a Jedi, but she quickly realized there wasn’t a choice. She agreed and the siege began. They were successful in freeing many prisoners, including their mother, but there were casualties too. Despite this, the nautolan rebels knew their luck was changing and turned to Vi with hope. Vi was unsure about this and believed their faith was unfounded. She still felt extremely uncertain about her abilities, and her mother could tell.
Vi’s mother was force sensitive too, but she was a healer. Nautolans don’t necessarily believe in the force, but they believe in something known as Ocean Spirit, which controls the balance of the ocean and the land. The ocean is neither good nor evil, and the nautolan people don’t believe in a defined line between the two, unlike the Jedi and Sith. Instead, they value a belief that is very similar to karma- if you are good, good things will come. Nautolans are a peaceful race and force sensitive people on Glee Anslem are revered and respected healers. They are seen as spiritual leaders that have a special connection to the Ocean Spirit and hold a very regarded place in the culture. Vi’s mother began to teach her daughter about the Ocean Spirit, and Vi quickly accepted the teaching. She could feel the Ocean Spirit around her and it reinvigorated her. Even though Vi wasn’t a traditional nautolan healer, the other rebels greatly respected her. With her influence, their missions were becoming more successful. They saw her as a warrior for their people and regarded her as their champion. Vi embraced this and after time, she became more confident in herself and who she was. She realized she was capable of protecting the people that needed her, and that meant the world to her. She still fights like a Jedi and regards many of their teachings, but she embraced the Ocean Spirit to guide her through the current of existence. After time, Vi’s mother gifted her with the shells of the Healers, which is a greatly respected and earned trinket to be worn through her tendrils to signify her connection with the Ocean Spirit. Now, Vi is a much more confident person who, for once in her life, is proud of who she is and her connection to the force.

“Äiti itki. Isä lähti huoneesta. Vivian istui nurkassa ja kuunteli vaiti. Kissamme Minni hyppäsi vuoteelle ja käpertyi jalkojeni päälle ja kehräsi, sillä kehräämällä parannetaan sairaita.”

“Mom cried. Dad left the room. Vivian sat in the corner and listened quietly. Our cat Minni jumped on the bed and curled up on my legs and purred, for through purring the sick are healed.”
