"How do you know all of this?"
"Librarians are notorious gossips, if you didn't know."

―Imri Cantaros and Lyssa Votz

Lyssa Votz was a human female Jedi Knight who served as the Jedi archivist of the Jedi temple on the planet Dalna. Votz did not crave adventure or excitement and disliked fighting. She frequently forgot her lightsaber, preferring to instead carry a datapad with her at all times.
