Mara Jade was taken from her parents early in her life and raised by the Emperor. She was trained in the Dark Side of The Force,
and in basic lightsaber combat. Her position in The Empire was that of The Emperor's Hand. She was his personal assistant and
assassin. She could track an opponent accross the galaxy and communicate with her Master using the Force. When the Emperor
was killed on the Second Death Star, he sent her final instructions through the force. Those instructions were to kill Luke Skywalker. Following the Battle of Endor,
Mara wandered the galaxy from one small job to another, until she met Talon Karrde. She quickly rose to second command in his smuggeling operation. During the
battles against Grand Admiral Thrawn, she joined forces with Luke and The New Rupublic to destroy the Wayland Opperation, as well as the Dark Jedi Clone,
Joruus C'boath. She has since started her own shipping business and may eventually study to become a Jedi at The Jedi Acadamy on Yavin IV.
Mara Jade [Zahn]
"Mara" is Hebrew for "bitter"; it is commonly read as an alternate version of "Mary" (exact etymology unknown, but thought to relate to the
sea). Both are in the Bible: Mara in Ruth 2:20; Mary/Miriam in places too numerous to list.
Kama-Mara is the Buddhist deity of love and death.
A jade is a translucent gem (usually green), a broken-down horse, or a hussy. The last may hearken to one of the Biblical Marys, a harlot
from Magdala who became one of Christ's disciples. A common demi-heretical speculation (along with the equation of Lucifer
("light-bearer") with Prometheus) is that Mary Magdalene and Christ married or became lovers (e.g., _The Last Temptation of Christ_).

There isn't much comparison between the fictional Jade and the real one. The real Jade, a.k.a. Michelle, is much better!
Not only does she put Zahn's Mara and her attitude to shame, but she outclasses her ten to one! She was born and raised in San Jose \
California (which'll always be better than San Francisco!). She has an older sister who is married and lives in Michigan where Mara
attends school. She also has two loving parents, her father being Darth Vader (trust me on this one). She is a California girl at
heart. She loves the sun, the beach, the mall... (Valley Fair!!) She has another sister, Leia (a.k.a. Marilyn), who also is from the land
of San Jose. These two are inseparable, even when attending college on opposite sides of the country. (Yes, the rumors are true. They
*DO* share a brain. You heard it here first, folks.). And last, but not least, Mara is a dedicated Star Wars fan!

CC's Top Ten Things Mara Jade REALLY would have said (or done) in
response to Callista's comment in Darksaber on p. 81.
Callista says, "I also heard hints that you
might have been interested in Luke yourself at one time."
10. "My, aren't WE a little insecure?!"
9. "Luke and I? What makes you think we aren't?"
8. "Callista, you really need to find something else to do with yourself
when Luke's busy. Besides gossip about me."
7. "What's wrong with you? Not feeling like your *old* self?"
6. "He wishes!"
5. "I'd just as soon kiss a Wookie!!" (We know, but it's a CLASSIC!)
4. "You know, Cray always looked better as a blonde..."
3. "If I wanted him, you wouldn't be sitting here."
2. "Been there, done him."
1. Finally, Mara gets real sick of the whole conversation and dots
Callista in the eye.
Suggestions? Comments? Anything at all?
