Destiny Froste first joined the Jedi community in 1999 and was a member of most Jedi sites at the time (there were a lot).

During that time, among many other things, Destiny completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and spent half a year traveling abroad. In her free time, Destiny is a dancer, acrobat, costumer, and aspiring actress. Read articles by Destiny Froste here.
