Jessari was raised in a small village in the mountains of Skye. From an early age, she was able to use the Force to speed the healing of those around her. This skill made her useful whenever someone in the village was sick or injured. She also had a love for children, and this led her to take a job in the village nursery, which also doubled as a daycare. The nursery cared for young S'kytri children, and also unhatched S'kytri eggs when the parents weren't able to watch them.
