Description
Taj'Juula is a member of the rare and mysterious race, known as the Yautja. Believed to be nomadic hunters, Taj'Juula was found as an infant among the wreckage of a crashed Yautja ship. Discovered by Yoda, and found to be quite strong in the Force, he took her to the Jedi temple to train her in the ways of the Jedi Order. Drawing on the single minded dedication inherent to her species, Taj'Juula trained day and night, often driving herself to the point of total exhaustion to learn the Jedi arts. However, her heart ached to learn about her species. With the aid of the Archives of the Jedi Temple, Taj'Juula learned everything she could about the Yautja. She learned that they were hunters, and that they had a strict code of honor that dictated their every action. Learning this, she developed her own strict code of honor, seamlessly merging the Jedi Philosophies with the Yautja code of honor. Instead of hunting trophies, she hunted injustice. She drove herself to use her inherent need to hunt into her purpose of upholding peace and justice in the Galaxy. It was because of her research into her species that she learned of her people's preference for armor. Thus she obtained a customized set of Mandalorian armor. However, she crafted her own Yautja biomask and optical camouflage, using the Force to guide her hands in crafting the alien tech. Preferring that to traditional robes, she became a unique Jedi. Taj'Juula often struck at her enemies from the safe concealment of her optical camouflage, waiting till she reached the individual at the heart of any trouble. Only THEN would she show her face. Her methods are unorthodox, but effective. The Jedi Council often sends her out for the most difficult and dangerous missions, knowing she is MORE than capable of accomplishing it. She has yet to take a padawan, but not for lack of the Jedi Council requesting it. When Order 66 was issued, Taj'Juula disappeared, and though she has yet to be seen, the Jedi Order knows she is still out there, like others of her species, she is notoriously difficult to kill.

This is my concept for a predator Jedi. I figured since the Predators (Yautja) prefer to wear armor, Taj'Juula would more likely wear armor than traditional Jedi robes. The reason she's wearing Mandalorian armor is because when I was making this image, I was going to make her a Predator Mandalorian, but decided to change her to a Jedi Knight. For a lightsaber, I remembered that had created a double lightsaber design that I think he hadn't earmarked for any specific character, so I got his permission to use it for this character, and shrank it down to fit this picture.

This image was created using elements created by Zared-Tregonwell, with the lightsaber designed by . I'm crediting Zared-Tregonwell for the Yautja and Mandalorian elements I used to create this character, even though his account is no longer active on DA.
