===========================================================
NOTES:
Bant Eerin (taken from http://jediencyclopedia.150m.com) : She was a Mon Calamari Jedi Knight during the time that Obi-Wan Kenobi studied there as well, and the two were very good friends. Bant was known for he silver eyes which stood out against her skin and distinguished her; they were a feature that all easily recognized and remembered about her. Bant was studying at the Jedi Temple during a great time of excitement. She was there when Obi-Wan and his Master, Qui-Gon Jinn traveled to Melida/Daan to help mediate a struggle between a group calling themselves The Young, who were struggling against their elders. There, Obi-Wan felt that this was a cause he felt was worth fighting for, and despite Qui-Gon's warnings, forsook his Jedi oath to help with the struggle. Bant blamed Qui-Gon for letting Obi-Wan do this, but regardless of her anger with him, she assisted him when the Dark Jedi Xanatos infiltrated the Jedi Temple and items were stolen from the Temple. Qui-Gon and and Jedi Master Tahl suspected that the stolen items were hidden at the bottom of the lake in the Garden of the Temple, and they asked Bant to assist them in locating the items. Bant dived into the lake, however, she was almost killed by Xanatos and his accomplice, Bruck Chun, a student at the Temple. Almost dying at the bottom of the lake, Bant was saved by Obi-Wan Kenobi, who had returned from Melida/Daan and had been accepted back into the Jedi Order. The incident with Xanatos was finally resolved, however, it also resulted in the death of Bruck Chun. The Chun family blamed the Jedi for their son's death, and attempted to sabotage the Jedi starfighter training facility on Centax 2. Jedi Master Tahl had investigated these sabotage missions and finally discovered that it was the Chun family behind it. After this investigation, Tahl returned to Coruscant and took Bant as her Padawan.
However, Tahl often left Bant behind on what she considered more dangerous missions than Bant could handle. This rejection left Bant angered and with the feeling that Tahl did not have confidence in her or her abilities. Bant often confided in Obi-Wan, her friend, these feelings she was having. However, on one such mission to New Apsolon resulted in the death of Master Tahl, which devastated Bant. Obi-Wan Kenobi was on New Apsolon with Tahl, as well as Obi-Wan's Master, Qui-Gon. Because of this, Bant blamed Obi-Wan for not being able to save Tahl, and refused to speak with him while the loss was still fresh with her. Later, Bant traveled to New Apsolon with Obi-Wan and Jedi Master Mace Windu to investigate Tahl's death. While there, Mace Windu gave Bant and Obi-Wan a mission to locate a citizen there that might have been involved in the recent, tragic events. It was on this mission that Bant finally acknowledged Obi-Wan once more, a sign that she was beginning to accept and deal with her loss. While on this assignment, Bant and Obi-Wan discovered the dad body of the woman Pleni, a woman with aspirations for planetary governor. It was these aspirations, the Jedi believed, that led her to commit the crimes she did which ultimately led to the death of Jedi Master Tahl. Bant and the Jedi later discovered that Pleni was killed by a probe droid, but more disturbingly, that the droid could be traced back to Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, who was also deeply devastated by the loss of Tahl, whom he loved deeply and was plagued by a call to vengeance. Like most Jedi at some point in their career, Bant was forced to face and deal with a devastating loss. However, she overcame the unfortunate turn of events to go on and become an important member of the Jedi Knights.
and i see on starwars.com that bant was the padawan of kit fisto.
Oddev : Oddev is a young mon calamari jedi. He has been discovered by Cilghal and presents some good capacities in healing.
Darth Loki : Darth Loki is a sith mon calamari.

MISC NOTES:
Here is the second mon calamari pack, with the "male" jedi. When I begin the model, i think that bant was a male and so i begin modelling "her" with some ref pics of anakin. When I have finished the model somebody send me the description of bant and i see that she was a female. But if you see at Bultar Swan, she has too some "male" clothes so I decided to keep her like this.
Thanks to Hèkx Nòxú for the sounds
Thanks to Bradfu for the original idea of oddev and to give the agreements to continue his work.
