Bastila Shan was an archetype for the Jedi Order. Like many of her compatriots, she was trained from a young age because of her strong natural gift for the Force. In particular, she became renowned for her skill in the rare art of Battle Meditation, an ability which could turn the tides of battle by strengthening one side and weakening the other. Bastila's prowess in this ability thrust her into the spotlight of the Galactic Republic's struggle against the Sith during the Jedi Civil War.
Although little is known of her history before she became a Jedi, she reveals to Revan that she has fond memories of her father, and bad memories of her mother. She says that her mother would push her father into going on treasure hunts, only to find nothing. Bastila remembers that she was constantly on their ship, moving from planet to planet.
Bastila was known throughout the Order as a somewhat arrogant and brash youth. Her Jedi Masters had advised her to be cautious, but Bastila proved almost too impulsive to let the Order guide her themselves. Despite her overconfidence, she was always well aware of the burden of responsibility that weighed her, and all Jedi, down.
