Kalindria Arkeley was born into the Marseth tribe on her homeworld of Mirial in the year 14 BTC (assuming the game begins in the year 2 ATC) to Zellian and Kalisira. As is customary for all Mirialans, she was taken from her home at the age of six to train in a local academy.
Upon being identified as particularly force sensitive, she and four others (Aurellian, Graethan, Tariana and Vojne) were sent to be trained in the Force under the Marseth tribe's Elder, Zadran, Kalindria's great-great grandfather. It was during this training that she met Vojne, her longtime friend and ally.
Once she and Vojne reached the age of sixteen, they were sent to Tython to train as Padawans under Jedi Master Yuon Par. Kalindria has shown an aptitude for protecting and aiding her fellow combatants during her trials and chose the path of a Jedi Sage.
The story of Darth Malak and Darth Revan serves as a personal guide to Kalindria, reaffirming that one cannot allow fear, hatred, or greed to consume. She makes many of her decisions based on their tactical advantage to the Republic and the Jedi Order. She also seeks to help those less fortunate, especially those whose ancestors have been decimated by Sith actions on the Outer Rim.
