Jaina Solo is a main character from the Star Wars Legends universe.
Canon
Jaina is the eldest child of Leia Organa and Han Solo in the Legends continuity. She has a twin, Jacen Solo, and a younger brother, Anakin.
Jaina inherited her father's skill with mechanical devices and her mother's Force sensitivity. She and her brother Jacen trained under their uncle Luke Skywalker as Jedi, and Jaina was known for her courage and skill in combat. Upon her promotion to Jedi Knight, Luke dubbed Jaina "Sword of the Jedi," prophesying that she would never know peace but would bring it to others.
Ultimately Jaina would be forced to duel and kill her twin brother Jacen after his fall to the Dark Side.
Fandom
Jaina's "Sword of the Jedi" title is frequently referenced in fanworks.
I went as Jaina Solo for three consecutive Halloweens. Basically I just wore army fatigues and a lightsaber. People thought I was GI Jane. [1]
