Description

Rwoh was considered a prodigy and attained the rank of Knight unusually early, which is why she herself took a long time to grow used to her new position. The first real assignment of the sixteen-year-old Rwoh was looking after the twelve-year-old inventor Avon Starros at the remote outpost of Port Haileap, which was administered by Jedi Master Douglas Sunvale. Rwoh found the girl's inventions amusing, but her charge could not stand prohibitions, and they argued often; at times she had to restrain her with telekinesis, among other means.

Later Rwoh accompanied Starros and her protocol droid J-6 aboard a ship flying to the dedication of Starlight Beacon. Bombs went off on board, and together with the Padawan Imri Cantaros and Honesty Weft they escaped in a shuttle, ending up on the jungle moon of Wevo.

She took part in the battle over Grizal, and during lessons on Kirima she saw in the Force how one of the Nihil fired at Starros in an unfamiliar laboratory. Her search led Rwoh to Dalna, where it turned out that the Nihil were kidnapping children and forcing them to join their ranks; together with her companions she freed the captives.
