Description: Lula Talisola was a human female Jedi Padawan who lived on Naboo before joining the Jedi Order and being trained under Jedi Masters Yoda, Torban Buck, and Kantam Sy. Talisola trained aboard the Padawan Academic Cruiser Star Hopper during the High Republic Era and Nihil conflict, and she was the best friend of fellow Padawans Farzala Tarabal and Qort, often looking out for them.
When the Padawans of the Star Hopper were sent to respond to an Emergence in the Trymant system after the Great Hyperspace Disaster, Talisola met the Force-sensitive resident Zeen Mrala during a confrontation with a group of Nihil pirates. The Nihil threatened the people of Bralanak City, and the Jedi were able to fight off the Nihil with the help of Mrala, whom they welcomed back to Starlight Beacon, where the two grew closer, and even meditated together.
Soon after, the Nihil were spotted on the junk moon of Quantxi. During a bit of deliberation, Mrala decided to depart on her own to find her friend Krix Kamerat, who had joined the Nihil, and Talisola and her friends followed. Planetside, the Padawans once again found themselves facing scores of Nihil raiders while defending a Junk Maven campsite on the moon. Talisola split off from the other two to search for Mrala, and tracked Kamerat's location to find her and her former friend facing off, Mrala choking Kamerat with The Force. Talisola quickly intervened, but Kamerat was rescued by Marchion Ro. The Jedi attempted to prevent the Nihil's Spider Cruiser from escaping, but were unsuccessful. Afterwards, Talisola reunited with her Padawan friends, happy they were okay.
During a trip back to Trymant IV, Talisola felt envious of the progress Vernestra Rwoh had made as a Jedi Knight at a similar age to her. The Jedi touched down on the now-damaged world, and met with Elder Barbatash, who stopped a fight from breaking out with some locals. A conversation with Barbatash lead the Jedi to Vrant Tarnum, where Talisola and Rwoh descended to search the rocky planet. They found many Nihil ships moving in formation, and eventually departing the hidden base with their Path engines. Talisola received news that the Nihil were planning to attack Valo, where the Republic Fair was being held, but Crashpoint Tower had been disabled, so they couldn't be warned. The Jedi soon departed for Valo.
On the way to Valo, Talisola confided her insecurities in Rwoh, and was reassured of her timing and the pace of her journey. Exiting hyperspace, they found Lonisa City under Nihil attack, and joined the fight while trying to contact Starlight. Without a response, they descended to the ground and continued the fight there. Working with Ty Yorrick and meeting Ram Jomaram and some Bonbraks, they rush to Crashpoint Tower. Fighting the Nihil, a Hragscythe, and Drengir along the way, on speeder bike, on Sanval, and on foot, the two made it to the Tower. There, Talisola would fight several Nihil ships in the air and on the ground, but was eventually saved by V-18, though Talisola was wounded in the arm during the fight. After Jomaram repaired the Tower's communications, he asks to join Mrala and Talisola on their future journies, and they accept. Soon after, the group continued to fight the Nihil in the streets of Lonisa City.
After the attack on the Republic Fair, the Padawans reunited on Starlight, where Talisola met Ishnar Ti-Kharatal, and introduced Qort and Tarabal to Jomaram. After a discussion with their and the Padawans departed for Takodana to help defend the temple there from incoming Nihil attacks. During preparations, two Nihil double agents planted thermal detonators and blew up the temple, as Nihil starfighters approached. Talisola and the others were saved from the attack after Qort's Vonduun crab mask was broken in the destruction and he unleashed his unrestricted natural abilities, driving Kamerat and his Nihil away.
Back on Starlight, Talisola and the other Padawans participated in the Great Jedi Rumble Race held by masters Buck and Sy, and later was part of a task force to find and capture Kamerat for good. Bibs found Kamerat's Nihil encampment on Dol'har Hyde, and the Padawans descended upon the world to finally capture Kamerat in the depths of his base. With Kamerat imprisoned on the Starhopper, Talisola was presented with the opportunity to be knighted. After reflecting on, accepting, and finally expressing her love for Mrala, Talisola declined the opportunity to be knighted, but was happy for her two best friends as they became Jedi Knights.
By a year after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, Talisola began operating as a Nihil warlord known as Tartak Vil on the moon Bracront.
Personality and traits
Lula Talisola was a human female with brown skin, brown eyes and dark brown hair styled in many braids. She stood 1.65 meters (5 ft, 5 in) tall. She was intelligent and skilled, but was unsure of herself due to her skills never having been tried, and was nervous about her first mission on Trymant IV, although she did not show her nervousness externally. She frequently looked out for her best friends, Farzala and Qort, when they got up to mischief. When she did go into action on Trymant IV, she naturally fitted into a leadership role with her fellow apprentices. When approaching the Nihil to request the use of their ship, she considered insisting on it first was "asking nicely" before resorting to violence after being fired upon. She also reassured Zeen Mrala that she had her back when helping the girl, who was a complete stranger, hold back falling hyperspace debris.
Talisola was also quick to advocate that the Jedi had a duty to help Mrala rescue her friend Krix Kamerat, since she had helped them. She also comforted the Mikkian after she had been separated from Kamerat in the battle's aftermath, reassuring her that she and her friends would support Mrala if she needed it. She developed romantic feelings for Mrala, which were difficult for her to process because of the Jedi Order's rules on attachment. As such, despite it having been her life's dream up to that point, she requested to not be made a Jedi Knight when the chance arose, hoping to take more time to understand herself.
Powers and abilities
Lula Talisola had strong Force powers, being the top of her class in all subjects. She was skilled in lightsaber combat, being able to expertly deflect blaster bolts fired at her. She was also capable of telekinesis, being able to assist Zeen Mrala in holding back a large piece of falling debris and Force-push multiple individuals simultaneously. Talisola could also expertly pilot a rescue speeder.
Equipment
