Kit Fisto's padawan

Can anyone tell me anything about Kit Fisto's padawan learner?
I think his name is Bant but that is all the info I have?
Cheers

 

Kit Fisto's Padawan was Bant Eerin, and She is a female Mon Calamari. Formerly trained by Tahl.

I think.

 

Yes, it was Bant Eerin, after Tahl died.

 

A Mon Cal named Bant? Why does that sound familiar?

 

Jedi Apprentice books, perhaps?

 

She most likely wouldnt be his padawan by the Clone Wars. She's probably a full fledged knight.

 

Well, yeah, given that she's about Obi-Wan's age. Bant flew a Jedi Starfighter at Geonosis along with fellow Jedi Apprentice alum Siri Tachi.

We've yet to see Bant show up in the Jedi Quest books, though.

All the info on Bant according to the Unofficial Encyclopedia:

Bant Eerin
this ten-year-old Mon Calamari female was one of Obi-Wan Kenobi's best friends, during his training at the Jedi center on Coruscant. Obi-Wan remembered her silver eyes most of all. After Obi-Wan decided to remain on Melida/Daan and help The Young in their struggle against their elders, Bant blamed Qui-Gon Jinn for Obi-Wan's forsaking of the Jedi oath. Qui-Gon and Tahl later asked for Bant's help in searching the lake inside the Jedi Temple for a number of items and artifacts stolen by an unknown thief. Bant agreed to help, and was nearly killed by Xanatos and Bruck Chun. Obi-Wan intervened, and Bant survived being tied to the bottom of the lake. Bant was chosen by Tahl as a padawan, although Tahl tended to leave Bant behind on the more "dangerous" missions. This angered Bant, who confided her feelings to Obi-Wan when Tahl set off for New Apsolon to discover the identity of Ewane's killer. In the wake of Tahl's death on New Apsolon, Bant initially held Obi-Wan partly responsible for not saving her life. Bant felt no peace in Tahl's death, despite her Jedi training. When she traveled to the planet with Mace Windu, Bant refused to acknowledge Obi-Wan's presence until both were sent out to locate Irini. Then, Bant began to open herself up to Obi-Wan, and they were able to renew their friendship. In the wake of Tahl's death, Bant was chosen to apprentice with Kit Fisto.

Bant Eerin did fly in a Jedi Starfighter above Geonosis. See the Battle of Geonosis Part 2 for more details.

EDIT: Corrected a stupid typo!

 

Yeah, I also seem to remeber doing a bio for her @ TUCWS

 

Yeah, probably a full-fledged Knight by Clone Wars. I believe she is supposed to appear in a future JQ book, but I don't remember where I read that, so don't quote me on that. Others of OB1's childhood friends have been seen as full-fledged Knights in Jedi Quest, the Jedi Apprentice Special Edition books, and HoloNetNews (there is a human pilot and a Dresselian, don't remember their names at the moment).
