Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters; they're all from SW universe and belong to their respective creators.

My ideas are who was the Shaman of the Whills, the name Llyria and using amber in Jedi burial rituals.

The fanfic goes from times of Yoda's youth up to Obi-Wan, so I put it in the category Jedi Apprentice.. However, the narrator is from the New Jedi Order Era.

Legend

--

They say she was a legend. Even Jedi need a legend from time to time, a legend that helps them go on. She was a legend that kept going on and on, and on. So do they say.

They say that each time someone helps you, someone whose face you cannot remember, someone who maybe even was not there, it is her. They say that every time when you feel there is no hope any more, and yet you find some at the bottom of your heart, it is her. They say that whenever you help make peace, it is her. So they say.

They say she was a legend wearing form and name. They even say she was the Force impersonated. Sometimes they only say she was one of us. The most powerful of us all. They say many different things, but some things they say are the same. And in them – it is her.

They all say she had never used a lightsaber, that she even did not carry a one. And they all say she was fair. And in each variation of the legend they do call her the same name: Fay the Fair. Although they all say her name was Fay, just Fay. No surname, no title. Not even 'Master Fay'. Only plain 'Fay'.

They say she was a legend. They are wrong. She was real.

This fanfic was inspired by an article on Wookiepedia, concerning Master Fay. I was just looking for something else and looked at the article featured on the main page, and something captured my attention so I read it all; maybe it was the way she was portrayed on the picture. (Yeah, you know, it must've been the Force ;)) And I must say learning the most powerful Jedi of all times was a woman was very inspiring.

This piece is based wholly on info from Wookiepedia, except for the concept of Fay being the Shaman of the Whills, which is my idea, and some others which are non-cannon or simply they're not mentioned in the cannon.
