Darra Thel-Tanis was a female Human Jedi Padawan of Master Soara Antana in the waning years of the Galactic Republic. In 27 BBY she and her master joined fellow Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi with his Padawan Anakin Skywalker, Siri Tachi with Ferus Olin and Ry-Gaul with Tru Veld on a mission to the planet Radnor, where accidently some deadly toxins get into the atmosphere. The Jedi were briefed and tasked by the Jedi Council to aid the evacuation of the surviving Radnorans from the Twin Cities Tacto and Aubendo.

[edit] Biography
A Human female, Thel-Tanis was taken to the Jedi Temple on the planet Coruscant due to her Force-sensitive to be trained as a Jedi Knight. Around 27 BBY she was taken as apprentice by the Jedi Master Soara Antana, who was famous for her skill with a lightsaber.[3]
With her Master, Darra accompanied Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi on missions to worlds such as Radnor and Haariden. On the mission to Haariden, Darra was badly injured, after being shot in the thigh with a blaster. During her recovery she developed a friendship with Anakin.[4]
Also she served on a escorting mission to Nuralee. [5]A few years later, prior to the Clone Wars, Darra and her Master once again accompanied Anakin and Obi-Wan, as well as two other Jedi pairs (Siri Tachi with Ferus Olin and Ry-Gaul with Tru Veld) to Korriban to stop Granta Omega and Jenna Zan Arbor. During this mission, influenced by the dark side energies of the planet, the apprentices started to argue rather than work as a team. This led to a disastrous confrontation with Omega and a number of traps set in the tombs. In their battle against Omega, Darra sacrificed herself for Ferus and was shot in the chest by Granta Omega's KYD-21 blaster pistol. Her death deeply saddened her fellow Padawans. Olin blamed himself for her death and left the Jedi Order after this mission.[2]
