Juhani (Knights of the Old Republic)

ALL, Expanded Universe, Jedi

CHARACTER DESCRIPTION

Juhani was a Cathar female and a Knight in the Jedi Order during the Jedi Civil War. Juhani grew up on the planet Taris after her family escaped the assault on their homeworld during the Mandalorian Wars. In addition experiencing great hardship and xenophobic discrimination, Juhani was sold into slavery after the death of her parents in order to pay off their debts. Juhani was eventually discovered to be Force-sensitive by the Jedi Knight Revan, and freed from her servitude. She then made her way to the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine and was accepted for Jedi training by Jedi Master Quatra.

Required Details:

  1. Medium brown, leather or leather-like, sleeveless, hip length vest.
  2. Two (2) center front panels taper inwards down the front made of a slightly darker medium brown material than the side panels.
  3. The center front panels are wider at the shoulder than the waist, and curve down to a squared V point towards the crotch.
  4. The center front panels have a center front closure, clasped with three thin, horizontal, metal clasps that are silver or light gold in color. Clasps are evenly spaced between the bottom of the collar panels and the waist.
  5. The center front panels come together smoothly without gaps between them.
  6. Two (2) lighter brown side panels that curve over the sides at hip-level.
  7. One (1) darker medium brown, single knee-length ‘tail’ panel in the center back. Tail panel curves gently narrower further down, cutting off horizontally at the bottom.
  8. Three-layered collar piece that attaches flat to the body of the vest:
    1. Top layer is a roughly thumb-width tube or cord covered in leather or leather-like material that fits snugly around the wearer’s neck like a high, standing collar.
    2. Middle layer is roughly palm-width over the shoulders, and then curves down in a concave V that ends roughly straight across at the bottom in the center front. In the back, it extends back in another truncated V shape, past the bottom layer of the collar, ending in a flat edge at slightly above armpit height.
    3. Bottom layer is roughly twice the width of the middle layer. It follows roughly the same shape as the middle layer in front, with a wider bottom edge and shallower curves. In back, it angles sharply back from the shoulders and disappears under the middle layer.
  9. No center front seam at the collar (back or side openings suggested).

Optional Details:

  1. The side panels do not have side seams.
  2. The center front and center back panels are top-stitched on top of the side panels.
