Physical appearances
She is a Togruta. She possesses a slender physique. She has black eyes, reddish-orange skin, lavender lips, white lekku with navy stripes on it, white oval spots around either of her eyes (like a raccoon) from her forehead to each of her cheeks with vertical red lines on each side of her forehead, silver fingernails, and gold akul-tooth headdress.

In her Felucia Chieftain form, she wears a cream backless top with a deep V-front (that shows most of her breast cleavage, midriff, both bare back and shoulders, and bellybutton) and brown straps around her midsection that seem to accentuate her breasts. She has a light brown loincloth (which only covers her in the front) and homemade bikini bottom that shows cheeks of her buttocks on the back of her. She also wears a bit of gray cloth wrapped around her feet (showing both her bare toes and bare heels) and most of it around both leg calves and left forearm (with a couple silver spikes on it). Brown straps she's tied around her lekku and montrals are long enough that they almost reach the ground behind her. She's got white stripes on both her bare arms and thighs and silver toenails when goes half barefoot. She also wears a white tooth necklace, silver beads around her waist, 3 gold thin bracelets on her right wrist, and silver armband on her upper arm.

Attack of the Clones
In the 2nd episode of the saga, she is seen at the High Council Chamber (following in Yaddle's footprints right after she was killed) of the Jedi Temple while 35-year-old Obi-Wan Kenobi is given a new assignment by her, her Grand Master Yoda, Mace Windu, Ki-Adi-Mundi, and the rest of the High Council; to track down Jango Fett, the notorious bounty hunter and father of 10-year-old Boba.

She is seen spending a few hours at the Jedi Archives while Obi-Wan is having trouble to look for the ocean planet of Kamino (where millions of clone troopers are created by Jango) with the aid of Chief Librarian Jocasta Nu.

On the planet Geonosis, she is then seen with the Jedi strike team led by Mace, igniting their lightsabers for the rescue position, at the execution arena where 19-year-old Jedi Padawan Anakin Skywalker, his beautiful fiancee Senator Padmé Amidala, and Obi-Wan are about to be executed by a band of evil Separatists led by Count Dooku. Then, she and the others attack thousands of battle droids, super battle droids, and droidekas. Just then, after Jango's murder thanks to Mace, Dooku, using the Force, orders his droids to cease fire to stop the fight and trap her and her battle buddies just before he calls on Mace to give up, but her manager refuses, and they prepare to meet thier fate. However, luckily, to their surprise, who shall unexpectedly appear but Yoda and a bunch of Republic clone troops, descending upon the arena in a few LAAT gunships and picking up the lovely Togruta Jedi Mistress, Mace, and all of the surviving gang.

Clone Wars (2003-05)
In the 2003-05 animated series, on an unknown planet, after the Battle of Geonosis, she is seen, along with Saesee Tiin, flying his Jedi ship, and several others while Yoda leads a force of clone troopers into battle against the Separatist Droid Army from astride his kybuck.

Later, in the Battle of Hypori, inside the wreckage, she, wounded and weary, is seen, along with Aayla Secura, K'Kruhk, Tarr Seirr, and Sha'a Gi, surrounding their leader Ki-Adi, who wonders why the attack has ceased. As the Jedi wonder how they could have been defeated by mere battle droids, a voice calls out to them: General Grievous, leader of the droid armies, deigns to grant them a noble death. The sound of Grievous's approaching footsteps panics some of the Jedi, but Ki-Adi urges them to remain calm. Just as quickly, following Sha'a Gi's murder thanks to him, the General leaps out of sight, before dropping onto the remaining Jedi wielding two lightsabers. Spinning his torso around, Grievous easily holds off the four attacking Jedi, finally downing K'Kruhk. His clawed metal limbs get hold of Tarr and snap his neck, before hurling him (to his death) and the beautiful Aayla across the chamber, followed by Ki-Adi. Shaak manages to hold off Grievous for some time just before she is hit by one of his spinning lightsabers and thrown into the wreckage, but she, along with the old Cerean Jedi, and Aayla are rescued by a group of ARC troops led by Captain Fondo aboard a LAAT/i ship. Outgunned, Grievous retreats. Shaak (whose hand has been held tenderly by Ki-Adi) and Aayla have survived Grievous' attack and are recovering as the troops retreat back towards Coruscant, leaving K'Kruhk behind, lying unconsciously on the ground.

Fully-recovered with Aayla, she is seen at the Jedi High Council meeting while Ki-Adi talks to his fellow council-members about the defeat on Hypori. Since the Jedi numbers are spread so thinly, the Council decide to promote Anakin to full Jedi Knight status at Obi-Wan's request, despite protests from Jedi Master Oppo Rancisis. Then, after Obi-Wan says that he and Anakin play brothers with each other, he shows him to the dark chamber where he, Shaak, Mace, and the other Jedi Masters surround the young man and ignite their lightsabers. Yoda knights Anakin, cutting off his Padawan braid, which the gold protocol droid C-3PO later presents to Padme, which she happily stores away with her Japor snippet which Anakin gave to her when he was 9 for safekeeping.

Between the events of the series 21st chapter and the CGI televison series, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine watches the distant battle from his suite in the 500 Republica, but Shaak Ti, along with her Jedi friends Roron Corobb and Foul Moudama, arrive and urge the Chancellor to make his way to his secure bunker. As Palpatine declines, saying there is no immediate danger, Grievous smashes through the window. Just as he makes a grab for the Supreme Chancellor as the latter complains about this intrusion, Shaak uses the Force to pull him away from Grievous's grasp. As the Jedi and the Chancellor make their escape, Grievous makes short work of the Senate Guard and clone troopers left behind to stop him. Waiting for the elevator, the Jedi turn around as the sound of battle from Palpatine's quarters stops, and Grievous crashes through the door and evades their Force attacks, but a Force-assisted shockwave from Roron Corobb's throats collapses the ceiling, stopping the General's advance. As the elevator descends, Shaak explains to the Supreme Chancellor that Corobb has four throats, quite powerful, and the Supreme Chancellor, picking his ear to get rid of the ringing, replies dryly, "So, I've heard".

Exiting the elevator, Foul carries Palpatine and him and the other two Jedi run along with the troopers. Shaak orders the troopers to call for support, but their communications are jammed. 2 IG-100 MagnaGuards suddenly appear in front of them. The Jedi and Palpatine manage to evade their electrostaffs, but the clone troopers are knocked to their deaths. The Jedi, protecting Palpatine, leap from platform to platform through Coruscant, with the 2 MagnaGuards closely in pursuit. They jump on to a floating barge, but are shortly joined by 4 MagnaGuards and Grievous himself, who disables the barge's repulsorlift generators.

The Jedi flee into a subway station, leaping over trains and narrowly avoiding death as they fight the MagnaGuards on the tracks. Shaak finally manages to destroy 2 of the droids, and Corobb destroys another. As Grievous appears and backs the Jedi into a tunnel, Shaak uses the Force to wrap his cape around a pipe on a train carriage. She activates the train, and Grievous is yanked down one of the tunnels. The Jedi break a nearby window and make their escape.

Palpatine and 3 three Jedi protectors reach a hover capsule in a tunnel, and as Shaak orders the others to get to the bunker, Foul puts his hand on hers lovingly.

Then, while she holds off their pursuers, she ignites her lightsaber as a group of MagnaGuards troop out of the darkness. As she fights the MagnaGuards, she is deprived of her lightsaber and nearly overwhelmed. But she manages to turn the tables by obtaining an electrostaff and destroy several of them with her new weapon. She, then, manages to reclaim her lightsaber and masterfully wields it in conjunction with the electrostaff. However, when the droids suddenly retreat, the beautiful Togruta realizes they've been keeping her busy while Grievous reaches the others. As she races to the bunker, Grievous finishes off the other 2 Jedi, before turning to and threatening Palpatine, who calmly replies that Grievous wouldn't dare hurt him, for fear of his master's wrath, and Grievous venomously replies that Palpatine is lucky he's wanted alive, toughly grabbing him by the front collar.

Just then, Shaak arrives. Horrified to see the bodies of her comrades, she charges Grievous in rage. However, the cruel General easily wrings the exhausted Jedi warrior's neck, relieves her of her lightsaber, and activates snaking cables from his wrist, announcing he has other plans for her. Mace, then, rushes into the bunker to find the 2 dead Jedi, with poor Shaak trussed and tied to the ceiling, devastated by her failure to protect the Chancellor.

Clone Wars (2008-present)
Following the events of Anakin's knighthood ceremony, as the war begins to gain momentum, the Jedi High Council decide to dispatch one of their own, Shaak, to safeguard the clone production facilities and oversee the training of the clone cadets training there. Serving as adviser to Kamonian Prime Minister Lama Su, Shaak works with the Cuy'val Dar trainers at Tipoca City to administer the tests that each clone squad has to pass before they see battle. One squad in particular Domino Squad seems to lack what it takes to ever see battle, disappointing even their teachers. Bounty hunter Bric deems them a failure; hunter El-Les wants to be sympathetic. Shaak initially fails the group, but after giving them some motivational advice, the 4 clones pass their final test and are deployed.

Not long after Shaak is notified of a potential Separatist attack on the cloning facilities. Reinforced by Oppo's battle group and several Jedi Knights, Shaak joins Su in the Tipoca City command center to coordinate the defense of the facilities. As the CIS Commander Merai begins the battle, Jedi defend the facility from the skies over the vast oceans of Kamino. When the Separatists break through and begin landing troops in the city, Shaak begins to order the evacuation of the adolescent clones. In desperation, Su opts to activated the Advanced Recon Commandos, ARC troopers who have remained in stasis tubes since the beginning of the war. Fighting alongside the ARCs, Shaak makes her way to the laboratory housing the 3rd generation of fetal clones with trooper A-17. Chased by dozens of battle droids, Shaak and the trooper are joined by Anakin and Obi-Wan, both following along as the team crosses the narrow transparisteel connector-bridge that attaches to the underwater lab. Prepared to destroy the fetal clones to avoid them falling into the hands of the CIS, A-17 eventually accepts the Jedi's plan of destroying the bridge to the lab until help can arrive. With the bridge and the droids destroyed, the gorgeous Jedi General uses the Force to plug the hole and keep the ocean at bay, waiting out the rest of the battle until help can rescue her and her comrades. It isn't long before the Separatists plan another strike at Kamino, this time led by Grievous and the beautiful yet mysterious Commander Asajj Ventress, one of the highest ranking members in the Separatist Droid Army. Reinforced once more by Anakin and Obi-Wan, Shaak and Su coordinate the defenses until aqua droids breach the control center. As Anakin and Obi-Wan engage Grievous and Asajj respectively, Shaak leads clones against the droid army and is successful in repelling them from the planet once again. Despite a few more smaller attempts, Shaak's strategy proved successful in preventing another full-scale assault on the planet throughout the rest of the war.

Revenge of the Sith
In the 3rd episode of the saga and the first deleted sequence, Shaak, kneeling ahead of Grievous and his MagnaGuards, is found by Anakin and Obi-Wan on board Grievous' ship the Invisible Hand just before she gets her back impaled through her heart by Grievous with her own lightsaber until she collapses to the floor, dying.

Despite her first murder aboard Grievous' ship just before she gets revived, she and the High Council begrudgingly accepts Anakin's appointment, but does not grant him the rank of Master. Anakin reacts angrily at this perceived slight. Ignoring his outburst, the Council goes on to discuss matters concerning the war until it is decided.

Later, in a meeting with her and the Jedi Council, Anakin relays the information about Grievous, explaining that a partial message was intercepted in a diplomatic packet from the Chairman of Utapau. Yoda says they should act quickly and decisively on this information. When Anakin expresses his interest in going at Palpatine's request, Mace harshly tells him that the Council will decide who goes and not the Chancellor. Yoda believes that a Master with more experience is needed to confront and defeat Grievous. Ki-Adi agrees and nominates Obi-Wan to go. With the nomination agreed on, the Council adjourns, and Obi-Wan prepares to go to Utapau.

In another deleted sequence, Shaak is impaled in the back again by Anakin, who is knighted Darth Vader by the wicked Chancellor Palpatine, who is really Darth Sidious, during his raid on the Jedi Temple while she is meditating. She asks Anakin what happened to Mace, Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar, and Saesee. Vader replies by impaling her in the back.

Force Unleashed
In the video game, despite her 2nd murder by Darth Vader in the Jedi Temple during the Order 66 climax just before she gets revived, as Chieftain right after her elf-banishment on Felucia, she acts as the boss character to Galen Marak, a.k.a. Starkiller.

Star Wars Weekends
She appears as a meetable character at any Disney Parks.
