Summary
The Force can choose anyone. This is well-known among Jedi. Within some species, Force-sensitivity is more common than within others, but there is no sentient species - not even past the furthest reaches of the galaxy - that has never had a single Force-sensitive to some degree.
This, of course, means that every so often a Sithspawn child is born with the Force. They call her Estai and they pass her to the Jedi when she's of age.
***
Introverts don't make friends. They get adopted by extroverts. With less than a decade to his name and a temper that worries his teachers, Obi-Wan wouldn't exactly call himself an extrovert, but he reacts strongly to basic displays of kindness and Estai is nothing if not kind.

Summary
On one last mission with her former master before he retires, Jedi Knight Estai is sent to Naboo on an 'easy' diplomatic mission. Tragedy strikes, however, when a Sith attacks. In the end, the Trade Federation ends its blockade of Naboo, but Jedi Master Tholme has paid a terrible price, left in a coma he may never awake from.
Estai, reeling from the sudden loss of her master, brings Anakin Skywalker before the Council on her master's behalf. Desperate to keep young Anakin safe, Estai makes a decision that will change history.
Or maybe history was changed a long time ago.
