Rey "Rey From Nowhere" Skywalker
About
Rey, a Force-sensitive human female, was a scavenger who lived on the forlorn frontier world of Jakku during the era of the New Republic. In 34 ABY, events drew her away from her homeworld and into the galactic conflict between the First Order and the Resistance. Though initially unaware of her connection to the Force, Rey's powers would manifest during the waning days of the cold war, consequently leading her on the path to becoming a Jedi under the guidance of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker.
Born in 15 ABY, Rey spent much of her time in solitude eking out a life as a scavenger and mechanic in the Jakku desert. Abandoned by her parents at an early age, she learned to survive without a family by scavenging various materials from the battlefield of the last conflict in the Galactic Civil War, all the while honing her skills as a warrior and pilot. Her solitary life was interrupted, however, when the hunt for Skywalker brought the First Order and the Resistance to Jakku. Compelled to help the Resistance, Rey befriended the astromech droid BB-8 and a renegade stormtrooper named Finn, as well as the war veterans Han Solo and Chewbacca. She also found a nemesis in Kylo Ren, the son of Han Solo who fell to the dark side of the Force and became a champion of the First Order.
Following the Battle of Starkiller Base, Rey tracked Skywalker to Ahch-To—a planet located in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. Though she hoped to rediscover a living legend, as well as a mentor who could help her control her growing powers, Rey found an embittered hermit determined to remain in exile after failing to prevent his nephew Ren's fall from the light side of the Force. Faced with a reluctant teacher whose final goal was to die as the last of the Jedi Order, Rey gradually turned to Ren as the galaxy's last hope. Having gained new insights into Ren through their Force-bond, Rey became convinced that good still existed in the former Ben Solo, and therefore, confronted him in the hopes of turning him back to the light. Yet despite her faith in Solo, who indeed betrayed and killed his master, Supreme Leader Snoke, Ren chose to remain on the dark path. After rejecting Ren's offer to rule the galaxy together, Rey rescued the remnants of the Resistance on Crait, thereby preventing the organization's complete annihilation at the hands of the newly anointed Supreme Leader Kylo Ren. After Skywalker passed away, Rey continued her training in the Jedi arts by using the ancient texts that she acquired on Ahch-To.
