During the events of The Phantom Menace…..
Ten year old Scarlet Saturn had just gone before the Jedi council and had been accused of stealing. Even though Master Yoda tried hard to convince the Council of Scarlet's innocence, they still all decided she was guilty and expelled her from the order. Scarlet being upset of this event ran to grab her things crying and began to run out of the Jedi temple. While she was running out her Senpai Dark Night was chasing after her and when she stopped out in front of the Jedi Temple they finally had a conversation.
"I'm sorry Senpai but I have to leave." Scarlet said with a sad voice and tears running down her cheeks.
"Scarlet….." Dark Night said as Scarlet ran off.
Scarlet ran and ran until she became tired of running and by the time she had tired out she had made it to the lower levels of Coruscant. Realizing where she was, Scarlet started to be a little more alert while wondering around in these levels that were off limits to younger Jedi for their own protection. To the criminals and outlaws down here, Scarlet looks like nothing more than a weak girl that can easily be taken advantage of. Scarlet knew this and wasn't afraid of them. She knew if she was going to survive she would have to show them she wasn't afraid. The more she thought about the possibilities on how she could die the less afraid she was, and the more she thought about it the more she realized she was different than her friends; something she never really thought of when she was in the order. Scarlet wondered for about a few hours trying to think on what to do next; wander around aimlessly or find a place to stay, that option did not seem likely due to the fact she had no money. So in order to stay somewhere she would need money and soon before something happens and she falls asleep. Scarlet continued to wander around and ended up walking into a dark alley filled with a group of people hulled in a circle cheering over something. Scarlet, being a small girl slipped pass the all the larger grown up people to see what was going on. In the center of the circle she finds that a female Twi'lek, dressed in gray jumpsuit with a gray plate of armor covered by a black cape and wearing black finger gloves and light blue skin, warning a tall strong male Bounty Hunter not to test her. Scarlet could hear cheering for the fight to happen. And as she listened it seemed everyone in the crowd wanted the Bounty Hunter to win instead of the Twi'lek. The Bounty Hunter then went in for the first punch only to have the Twi'lek dodge it and knee him in the gut. When she hit him in the gut, she then pushed him onto the ground and ignited her green saber and pointed it at his neck and stated, "I warned you."
The Bounty Hunter then ran off cowardly and the rest of the crowd did the same leaving Scarlet and the Twi'lek alone. The Twi'lek noticing her being the only one who did not run off, and was in Jedi robes, walked over to Scarlet.
"What is a young Jedi doing all the way down here?" Asked the Twi'lek.
"I'm not a Jedi anymore." Scarlet replied harshly.
"Neither am I." The Twi'lek said.
"What?" Asked Scarlet.
"I was once in the Jedi order." The Twi'lek said. "I was the Padawan of Master Elizabeth…" The Twi'lek was going to finish the sentence and then though it would be a bad idea to say the last name of her old master.
"One of my lightsabers is from a person named Elizabeth. My senpai gave it to me." Scarlet said quietly.
"I see. Well, my name is Shin Melne. What is yours?" Asked the Twi'lek.
"Scarlet Saturn!" Scarlet replied confidently.
"Do you have a place to stay?" Shin asked.
"No. I was just kicked out of the order." Scarlet said with sadness in her voice.
"Well. You can stay with me." Shin said. "Do you know how to use your lightsabers?"
"No, I was given them about a month or two ago by my Senpai." Scarlet said.
"Then I guess you need a teacher." Shin said and Scarlet nodded her head in agreement.
"Come on my home is this way." Shin said and started walking towards where she lives and Scarlet follows close after her.
"How do I know you're telling the truth about being a Jedi?" Scarlet asked.
"Would you like me to prove it?" Shin asked. Scarlet nodded her head yes. Shin, seeing this, looks ahead and sees some thugs picking on innocent women walking together. Shin sees this as her opportunity to prove herself. She slowly walks up to the thugs and at first ask them to leave the women alone. The thugs, ignoring the smaller Twi'lek, challenge her and she force pushes them back away from the women and the women run off. Shin pulls out her green lightsaber and holds it at one of thugs warning them to not test her again and they run off, not even looking back. Shin turned towards Scarlet, whose face showed awe, and asked, "Does that prove it?" Scarlet only nods her head in response and the two continue on to Shin's little apartment in the lower levels of Coruscant. After about a twenty minute walk, they arrive at Shin's little apartment building. Her apartment was on the tenth floor and when they got off the elevator, they walked about halfway down the building's hallway and then they came to the room that had the number 105. Shin pulled out her key card and unlocked the front door of her apartment. When they entered Scarlet looked around at the two bed and two bath apartment and saw a little kitchen and a small dining area. Shin turned and spoke to Scarlet.
"I have an extra room you can stay in as long as you need. You can also claim the refresher next to the room." Shin said.
"Really?" Asked Scarlet.
"Yes. Yes, of course. It's the room to the right." Shin said. "And Scarlet…"
"Yes?" Scarlet responded.
"I promise to train you as best as I can in the ways of the Jedi." Shin said.
"Can you also teach me to be a Bounty Hunter?" Asked Scarlet.
"How did you know I was one?" Asked Shin.
"I could sense it."
"Well then I can teach you that as well."
Scarlet smiles, a very very adorable smile and goes into her room and starts to unpack her things into the room. Once she was done with that she fell onto the bed and passed out.
