Bio:
MaKayla a.k.a. Devon was born on Corellia to the parents of a mother name Larissa Cortez and human father Derrick Valdez. Her parents were both former Jedi Knights who left the Jedi Order in order to have a life of their own.
Early Life
MaKayla is the daughter of former Jedi Knight name Larissa Cortez Valdez and human father Derrick Valdez. Larissa and Derrick both taught MaKayla the basics of using the Force since she had quick reflexes.
Meeting Ethan Hoth
When MaKayla was five-years-old Derrick’s former Master Ethan Hoth came to Corellia in search of another apprentice. He knew that his former Jedi Knight lived on Corellia and he decided to stop by and visit him and his wife. Little did he know was that Derrick was raising child of his own.
When MaKayla came down the hall, Ethan could feel the Force strongly in MaKayla and he offered to train MaKayla in the ways of the Force. Derrick and Larissa agreed and so Ethan took MaKayla to Coruscant.
Training Under Ethan Hoth
After arriving on Coruscant, Ethan began training Devon in the ways of the Force. He taught her how to expand her ability of telekinesis. Ethan thought it would be good for Devon to know how to use a blaster in case she ever went undercover and couldn’t have her lightsaber. So when Devon was about ten Ethan started to teach her how to use a blaster when she found useful.
As MaKayla got older her ability to use the Force grew stronger. She surpassed a handful of young students who were in her class. She passed all her classes with flying colors and became an excellent duelist with her quick reflexes.
Becoming a Jedi Knight
“There’s something about that girl…just look at her hair and skin. She has an unmistakable mark about her that I just can’t put my finger on it.”~Max Blaine Space pirate
“No way can a human drink that much before they pass out.” ~Pall Mace Space pirate
“Maybe I ain’t like most women you have come across before.” ~MaKayla to the Space Pirate Blaine
“Maybe I’m too much for you to handle.”~MaKayla to Space Pirate Mace
The Jedi Council assigned Devon and Ethan on a mission in the Teth system to find space pirates. So in order to get the information they needed, Devon posed herself as a space pirate smuggler against her Master’s wishes and busted a major operation between the space pirates and bounty hunter smuggling in their own brand of illegal drugs. While being under cover Devon became the head leader's friend and then she decided to test Max and Pall's ability to drink and she challenged the two to a drinking contest and she won. After getting the space pirates drunk, she arrested Max and Pall after they showed her where they kept their illegal stash of drugs.
Devon’s master decided to take her to the cave of Illum when she was eighteen to construct her lightsaber. It would be the final test. It took some Jedi months to construct their lightsaber in the cave of Illum due to having to face many visions.
Visions In the Cave[/b]
“Remember your training, Devon. We all have fear,” Ethan said. “There is no shame in it. Your feelings are your strength. Experience them and let them go as you move on toward your goal. There are lessons to be learned even from fear and anger. Face those lessons and learn from them so you can move on to calmness and compassion.”
“I know all this,” Devon said with a trace of impatience in her voice.
“No,” Ethan said softly. “You have only heard it, but you will soon feel what it means.”
Once they entered the cave they saw nothing but black stones. The stone was smooth and shiny, and it engulfed light rather than reflecting it.
“Should I use a glow rod?” Devon’s voice echoed.
“No. Wait for your eyes to adjust.”
Ethan reached into his tunic and pulled out a small pouch Devon had made when she became Ethan’s apprentice. He placed it in Devon’s hand. “Here is the hilt of what will be your lightsaber and the other components. Once you find the crystals, you will fashion the lightsaber to your own hand. Do not rush the task. It takes some Jedi days or weeks to make it. No matter how long it takes you, I will wait. We will stay on Ilum as long as necessary.”
Devon walked further into the cave. There were names inscribed in rows that went from one ceiling to the floor. Devon could not make heads or tails out of it.
“Leave before it is too late for you turn back.”
The voice was a murmur that Devon did not recognize. She looked at Ethan questioningly.
“It begins now,” Ethan said softly. “May the Force be with you.”
Ethan turned back to let his apprentice go ahead with the challenge.
A Jedi stepped forward from the cave wall that stopped Devon dead in her tracks.
“There is much pleasure in the galaxy. Why you deprive yourself from it? The Jedi path is narrow. Why choose it?”
Continuing without answer, Devon heard many voices and murmurs, but did not pay any attention to them.
Suddenly she felt something poke her and a voice said, “There are the crystals.”
Devon turned around and saw Ethan smile at her. “It is time.”
Devon leaned down and examined the cave floor. The crystals grew in intricate formations. In the dark cave, they glowed, bringing light to the immense darkness. She passed her hand over them without touching. She could feel the vibrations emanate from them. The Force here was stronger than anywhere Devon had ever been. Choosing six crystals, though only three of them she would use to fashion her lightsaber, Devon placed them in the pouch that was hanging from her utility belt.
“Before you begin, you have to mediate,” Ethan said. “Go into a trance, Roxie. Cleanse your mind. Then your feelings will guide your intent.”
Devon sat on the floor and emptied the contents onto the floor of the cave. She tapped into the Force and began to lose herself in it. Wonder was all Devon felt as she remembered Ethan saying that he could not help her and that this was Devon’s test alone.
An hour or two had passed when Devon finished the hilt of her lightsaber. She needed the crystals and then the lightsaber would be finished.
Ethan gave Devon a gentle smile, but then Ethan’s face changed into a half metal helmet with a smirk on its face.
“Did I startle you?” he asked as Devon scattered the crystals she had in her hand. “I thought Jedi were supposed to be in tuned with the Force, but that was pathetic. Did you honestly think I was a Jedi?”
He let out an evil cackle that made the hairs on the back of Devon's neck stand on end.
Devon thought for a moment. “I know who you are,” she said. “You’re that bounty hunter Max.”
“About damn time you figured out who I was,” Max snapped as he pulled out his blaster and fired at her as Devon dodged out of the way.
Devon used the Force to grab the crystals she scattered on the floor and placed them in the lightsaber hilt. Taking a breath of amazement at her accomplishment, Devon activated her weapon and the laser glowed purple.
Just as she was about to go after Max, Devon saw a girl who was around her age and Max shoot at her just as she raised her saber to block. Her attention was drawn back to the girl.
Max took advantage of this opportunity and ran out of the cave. Devon regained her senses.
She deactivated her lightsaber, attached it to her side, and followed behind. Just as she rounded a corner, Devon ran straight into a wall.
She regained her balance quickly and decided to find Ethan. On her way, she ignited her lightsaber again. It was single bladed just like she wanted it. The saber glowed purple.
Ethan was sitting at the end of the cave, sitting cross-legged. He opened his eyes and noticed it was Devon, her lightsaber hanging from her utility belt.
“You made this?” Ethan asked.
“Yes,” Devon said. She did not want to tell Ethan about her encounter with Max the space pirate. It had been both frightening and upsetting to see him again. Her anger flared up, but Devon fought to remain calm. She handed her blade to Ethan.
“This is a good sign, Devon. I had not expected such swift progress, though I guess it should not come to my surprise. When you let your instincts take over, they will not fail you. The Force is always with you. And I believe this proves that you have faced your final test.”
“So I’m officially a Jedi Knight?” Devon asked.
“Yes,” Ethan said with a satisfied smile.
Her History with The Empire

She helped Roland and Elifain out when Zilfer got put on Cain’s hit list and Cain decided to come and kill Zilfer personally for something he had done and she helped aid in the attack against Cain. As of right now she is traveling across the galaxy.
