Going back a few thousand years (and fully into the realm of Legends), Nomi Sunrider is an early badass Jedi from the time of the Galactic Republic, and a major figure in fighting the Sith.

Married to a Jedi Knight in training, she picked up his lightsaber after he died and began her own path to becoming a Jedi, training under Master Thon.

She fought alongside other Jedi in the Great Sith War, against Exar Kun (a hugely powerful Sith) and his apprentice Qel-Droma. Qel-Droma was a former lover of Sunrider who fell to the Dark Side, and she was able to use her powers to completely sever his ties to the Force, helping bring an end to the war.
