[edit] Biography
Jysella was apparently born no earlier than 15 ABY, but perhaps quite soon after that date, as by 25 ABY, she was already a student at the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4, and she had spent more of her young life being trained there than she had living with her parents.
After the Yuuzhan Vong attack on Yavin, Jysella spent a number of months aboard her grandfather Booster Terrik's ship Errant Venture with her family, before being moved to the Shelter base in the Maw with the other Jedi children. At the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War, she was still grouped among the younglings, but she was one of the many Jedi who gathered in the Jedi conclave on Zonama Sekot.
By 40 ABY, Jysella was a Jedi Knight on active duty. As tensions between Corellia and the Galactic Alliance developed into an interstellar crisis, Luke Skywalker tactfully assigned her to a mission far away from her homeworld, to avoid a conflict of loyalties when the Jedi were called on to serve as Alliance commandos and starfighter pilots in Operation Roundabout and subsequent missions.
[edit] Behind the scenes
In an online chat (and thus not part of the canon), Michael A. Stackpole revealed that Jysella Horn is named after her maternal grandmother, Jysella Terrik.[source?]
Jysella's age is nowhere closely defined in canon, though the fact that she is not mentioned in Specter of the Past, Vision of the Future or Star Wars: Union suggests that she was born no earlier than 19 ABY. In fan fiction, she is often depicted as being closer in age to her brother Valin than seems possible from canon, which has led to many fans believing her character to be older than she is. However, some fans have also underestimated the range of her possible age, placing her birth closer to 25 ABY than seems implied at her introduction in Dark Tide I: Onslaught.
