HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Fang Min was largely spoiled and pampered in the Imperial court. From a young age she was regarded as the favorite of her father the Emperor and not realizing how much her grandmother the Jade Empress did in a lifetime.. she became a brat even though most had just come off of the unification wars. The first thing her father did was offer her a chance to marry someone who she wanted to and when she dragged her heels with it said that she was going to. This caused her shock and she ran away from Jar'kai's palace. She ran into the mountains and eventually got lost in the sunless river valley under the cliffs.
She followed the waters to a valley filled with trees and a small g rove. Caves and trees that gave her shade... the journey had been dangerous but she was certain no one could find her as she ate the fruits in the valley. She didn't know what was happening and her sisters would go on to take her place as it was believed she had died. Eventually she met farmers who came to the valley and began to cultivate it, she joined them and hid away her few possessions that she had brought with her. The grove with plum trees she kept for herself and the strange crystal forest itself that she could cultivate with the others welcoming her.
She stayed with them and learned that she had been in the valley for nearly two hundred years. She was confused but continued to stay there and eventually saw that the others got older and she was remaining much the same. She ate the fruits and remembered legends, tales from the orators of traditional stories they always told. About mortals who were bestowed plums from the gods that made them immortal. She tested this... hurting herself and she survived healing a little faster but still it hurt a lot and she guessed that she might be living a long life but she hadn't become empowered by the gods.
That was until something new arrived in the valley, mystics who could control the power of the gods but they called i the force... a mystical energy field created by all living things. She was asked if she wanted to join them and while she feared they might be there to exploit the grove that she cultivate and maintained. She figured it would be best to be trained by them... learning the basics before they were leaving and she stayed with a few students on the planet. Considered a knight of their order but she didn't understand everything and she would have to spend the next thousand years training herself and students.
Eventually the Agora valley was abandoned by many and she learned how to infuse the force into the plums so that she could take a few with her. It allowed her to travel outside of the valley which was largely abandoned and forgotten. She spent her time traveling across the world returning every so often to take a few more with her and make them down into juice or wine that would last longer. She could often be seen in her dress roaming around and entering the different courts of the new royal houses or lords and ladies. Eventually she returned to the valley to discover that he Wukong had formed in an early form. They had tombs dedicated to important figures in Atrisian history.
Despite her skills int he force she hadn't seen that coming, she was after all one person with one perspective in history and she had rarely seen anything liek her. Teaching one or two along them way until she resettled in the Agora valley and the force order vanished, slowly moving on as the world changed. A new emperor a new policy, force users were being scooped up and taken into this inquisition. She masked herself and the grove with one or two who fled and defended it. When they were gone and others rose up she saw the underworld become open... saw rifts and tears and felt something she hadn't in a long time.
Her encounters with her sisters who were there... in the sunless lands, her father looking down upon her and all of the people she had met over the centuries. The weight of it wanted to grind her to dust and she went through with the thought of just ending it... of just not drinking or eating the plums but then something happened. A light was forming and the jedi came to the world. She returned to join them in Jar'kai playing the novice and rising through the ranks until she was a master within the temple. When Mythos attacked and they fled the city of Kar'kai she took the padawans to the valley and hid them away.
Years later they were rediscovered and the Agora valley was once again reopened as the Wukong returned creating and making he temple there one of the biggest and most wondrous she had seen before. She couldn't leave now but she didn't know how to tell the truth so she stayed there. Often seen as the headmaster ofthe Agora temple she lives in the lowest areas, in the kyberite forest where others can find her but she is considered the least compassionate of the Atrisian jedi challenging and trying to get the others to reinforce and support their views with more resolve. Her talking of how historical figures would react getting looks and quickly becoming friends with the princess and Empress.
