Janna is an unlikely Jedi candidate, having been born on a remote world in the Outer Rim, far from the influence of the Jedi and the Rebulic. Moreover, her birthplace, Muunilinst, is also the homeworld of the Muun, the architects of the InterGalactic Banking Clan, a key supporter of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Nevertheless, Janna was found by Jedi and taken to Coruscant for training.

When she was old enough Janna was selected by the Council to become Master Dio’s personal apprentice – her Padawan. It was tought that Janna had need of strengthening her combat skills, while Master Dio needed an apprentice that was mature, balanced, and always seeking alternate solutions to aggressive negotiations.

Janna fights with a single yellow-bladed lightsaber. Her style is defensive in nature; focusing on blocks and parries, then lashing out when her opponent exposes himself, using either her blade or the Force. Janna is rather strong in the force, but she is weaker in the telekinetic disciplines.

She is rather attractive and tends to attract unwanted attention from amorous males. Oona has urged her to take advantage of the fact, but Janna remains too dedicated to the Jedi Code.
