Like many of her peers, this Zabrak was discovered by the Jedi as an infant. However, rather
than receiving formal training at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, she was tutored by a Jedi warrior aboard a starship called the
Gray Pilgrim. When Palpatine issued Order 66, Maris and her Master were in the Outer Rim Territories and thus not immediately affected by the Purge. But her Master did feel the ripples in the Force caused by the sudden deaths of so many Jedi. After meeting only silence with every transmission sent to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, Maris's Master took his
personal starfighter in search of answers. He never returned, but his last message revealed that the Jedi Order had been all but destroyed by a villain named Darth Vader. Seeking revenge, Maris set off in search of Vader. Before she could confront the Dark Lord, though, she was discovered by Jedi Master Shaak Ti, who convinced the angry Padawan to disappear into hiding on Felucia. Despite Shaak Ti's positive influence, Maris harbored a strong desire for revenge against Vader.
