Hallis Byst

Hallis Byst was the second to last incarnation of the Sunrider, preceding Jaya Moray and succeeding Siar Malsh. She became a part of the Jedi Order, as she was dropped off there as an infant. She befriended other padawans Dakken Strom and Kahnis Glave, getting especially close to Dakken.

Nearing the end of the Clone Wars she started to worry about the Jedi and especially Dakken. She tried to warn Jedi and tried to talk to Kahnis, but she was shot down and not listened to, which led to the eventual downfall of the Jedi Order and her own death. She now watches over the next Sunrider.

Backstory
Hallis Byst was born to a poor family on Tatooine, just days before the Jedi Purge started and the death of the previous Sunrider, Siar Malsh. About a week after she was born, Lanipher Calow stole her from her family, bringing her to the Sunrider's Temple. Lanipher brought her into the Sunrider's Light, turning Hallis into the next incarnation of the Sunrider. Lanipher took her to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.Lanipher left the Sunrider's Emblem around her neck on a necklace. Jedi Master Yoda found her on the ground and recognized the Emblem, Yoda knew what she was, but decided to keep it a secret from her and from the rest of the order to protect her, deciding to raise her as a normal Jedi.

The previous Sunrider, Slar, often talked to Hallis via force ghost, explaining what she was. Not understanding what she was hearing, Hallis talked to Master Yoda, he said that it was true and that she had immense power, but also told her that she must keep it a secret so that she does not become a target. Yoda also began secretly and privately training Hallis.

As Hallis got older, she got close with one of the other padawans named, Dakken Strom. The two quickly began a romantic relationship, ignoring the fact that it was forbidden in the Jedi Order. As they got older, Hallis started to sense a darkness coming to Dakken, and started to grow worried for him. Due to her being worried for him, she reached out to a mutual friend, Kahnis Glave. Hallis and Kahnis maintained a friendship until 19 BBY. When Hallis finally felt like she could tell Dakken, she told him about how she was the Sunrider, and told him all about her power and responsibilities. She could tell Dakken was jealous and confused, but she didn't feel like she could turn to anyone else.

Nearing the end of 20 BBY, Hallis started to sense that something very bad was going to happen. She dreamt of the clones attacking the Jedi, and the Senate being destroyed. She talked to Master Yoda and Master Mace Windu, but Mace Windu ignored her claims, and Master Yoda, still wanting to protect her, agreed. She talked to Kahnis, but he said the clones were loyal, and dismissed her, then heading to Trandosha with his master.

As Order 66 was executed she met with Dakken, she sensed that his darkness had taken him over. Dakken had asked her to join him, but she refused, and she understood what she had done. Dakken then killed her out of rage with force lightning.

Following her death, Hallis waited for the next Sunrider to arrive, but could only watch as her former boyfriend destroyed the temple and killed Lanipher. However, she held out hope that a new Sunrider would be created. Her hopes came to fruition when Jaya Moray, a former criminal, was exploring the Temple and became the next Sunrider. Hallis then helped her successor with the duties and responsibilities of being the Sunrider.
