Tas'thia, or scarlet in the basic tongue, was raised in a rare non slavery based clan of twilek on the homeworld of Ryloth. She spent much of her early years in the isolated compound, where her family taught dance, trained a few martial arts from across the outer rim, and had a well established camp for healing the sick and injured. She spent the earliest memories she has, helping her aunts and uncles with treating injuries and setting breaks, as well as training self defense(formal martial arts training) a few hours with her father before dinner.

She was still a youngling, not quite into her tenth summer when she was still a trainee among the compound younglings that she would be discovered by a wounded jedi knight brought in for treatment.
