Young at only 477, Yaddle is one of the Jedi Council's most compassionate, balanced and patient members. In any debate or discussion, she will listen quietly and absorb all arguments before supplying her characteristically single and insightful opinion.
Yaddle is head of the Librarian Assembly, a group of Jedi scholars who maintain the Temple's collection of holocrons, ancient scrolls, and Sith writings. Her private quarters in the Jedi Temple are filled from floor to ceiling with thousands of tiny trinkets. Yaddle has trained dozens of Padawan learners in her life, including Jedi Master Oppo Rancisis.
With centuries of training behind her, Yaddle is skilled at all Jedi techniques and is one of few Jedi entrusted with the dangerous knowledge of Morichro - a forbidden Jedi art that rapidly slows the body functions of other beings, easily resulting in death.
This conceptual sketch was originally meant to be Yoda as a young child. Just before Concept Artist Iain McCaig produced it, he read about an eight-year-old Tibetan boy who carried his two-year-old brother twenty-five miles in order to escape the invading Chinese. Feeling that Yoda would have done that, McCaig gave him a look that conveyed not just youth, but also pain and wisdom. Ultimately, however, this sketch was used to create Yaddle, a female member of Yoda's species.
