[edit] Background
Offee was taken from her parents at an early age to be raised within the confines of the Jedi Temple and the tenets of the Jedi Code. Despite rigid schooling in Jedi doctrine, the young Offee had an impulsive streak frowned upon by more conservative Jedi Masters. While she was reserved by nature and not easily intimidated, there were times when she preferred wielding her lightsaber rather than following the protocols of diplomacy. Her attempts to overcompensate for her youthful exuberance sometimes gave the impression of a cold demeanor. In combat, Offee specialized in tandem fighting. Her connection to the Force allowed her to perfectly synchronize her actions with that of her Master.
A few months before the Battle of Geonosis, Offee and her Master, Luminara Unduli, joined Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker on a mission to aid in a border dispute on Ansion.
[edit] The Clone Wars
Later on during the Clone Wars, she stood at the side of her Master again.
Although she wasn't in the final circle that was picked up by Yoda's gunships on Geonosis, she did find a way out of the arena.
Offee and Unduli ventured to the ice-world Ilum. On this barren planet, the crystals needed in the construction of a lightsaber could be found. In a secret Jedi Temple mine, Barriss built herself a new lightsaber with a crystal of her choice. As she constructed her lightsaber, the location of the temple was compromised. Droids from the Separatists had infiltrated the mines and had placed explosive charges in the tunnels. Offee and Unduli fought them off, but were caved in. This disturbance in the Force reached Yoda, and the Jedi Master rescued them along with help from Senator Amidala.
Afterwards, Offee was sent to the planet Drongar on her first solo mission. Drongar was the home to a valuable plant, Bota, which was a miracle cure for almost anything and for any race, and prized by both the Republic and the Separatists.
A gifted healer, Offee assisted one of the medical units on the planet. Unknown to her, a spy was sneaking around the camp, and several corrupt Republic representatives were shipping off Bota for their own profit. She accidentally injected herself with Bota, and the natural drug opened up the Force in new and powerful ways. She found this quick way to power to be too addictive and knew that it would lead her towards the dark side, and so she reached the rank of Jedi Knight.During the clone wars she encountered Asaji Ventress in the desertic world of Tatooine and after a long fight Barriss almost defeated her but Asaji escaped. It is said that she was a match for General Grievous and the same her master Luminara.
Offee continued to be a great help to the Jedi as a healer. After the battle of Jabiim, she saved countless lives.
[edit] Death
Now with a new Padawan, the Selonian Zonder, Offee was sent to the fungus world of Felucia to stop Shu Mai and the Commerce Guild from taking over the planet. Zonder and Offee were captured, and Aayla Secura, along with Ekria and the Star Corps troopers, came to Felucia. Both Jedi led troops into battle. Offee was fighting droids with her lightsabers when Order 66 was issued. Lieutenant Galle, who was with her, wasn't firing. When Offee told him to fire on the droids, an AT-TE fired on Offee, killing her instantly.
