- Aida is a very private person, it's difficult to get to know her.
Aida has elegant features and a distinguished appearance. She is tall, with a slim, lithe frame. Recognizable by her light hair, blue eyes, and porcelain complexion. She dresses with a minimalist style, favoring robes and flowing garments. She moves with an effortless grace and is often seen wearing an enimatic smile. Most notably, she is known for her pointed ears.
Background:
Aida's story began on Chandrila, near the calm waves of the Silver Sea. Her family had a small cottage atop the rolling hills that overlooked the coast. Her upbringing was simple, and her family life quite joyful. As a young child, she spent much of her time watching the ocean from the shore. She was curious what lay beyond the blue waters, beyond the cloudy sky – and even beyond that. For hours at a time, she would simply sit and watch the crash of the water against the rocks.
Until one day, when she met a traveling merchant.
The merchant introduced herself as Hela Zapal. And though the mysterious woman's face was covered by a hood, young Aida sensed that something was very different about her. The cloaked woman took a small box from her traveling case and opened it before Aida. There were three stones inside – one shiny and black, a plain gray stone, and a clear white quartz. When asked to choose one, Aida chose the unassuming gray stone. She had no explanation as to why, only that it felt the best.
Hela was pleased. For Aida had chosen the only stone the force had touched, imbued with a bit of the merchant's own energy. And Master Zapal was certain that it had been the young girl's signature that had drawn her to Chandrila, for she was quite strong in the force. From then on, the two met there on the rocks, where she would give the young girl brief lessons – simple at first, then steadily they grew more difficult, more complex. And when she was sure, Hela finally approached Aida's parents to tell them that their daughter was destined for greatness.
Not simply a merchant, Hela was, in fact, a Jedi Master. Reluctantly, Aida's family let her depart with the Jedi to begin her training. Though, unlike most – she was not brought to learn at a temple, but at the side of her Master; the two became inseparable.
Through the decades, they traveled Wild Space, where the world's were rural and rarely touched by the light. Many of their missions were centered around freeing slaves from the grip of the Hutts, namely on the planet Lirra, where Aida created Serenity's Reach—a safe haven.
And though, she would out-live her master by so many years... Aida continues to follow in Hela's delicate footsteps; trying to make the galaxy a better place.
FORCE:
Though she was trained in saber combat, she has not used a light saber in many years, by choice. She uses force skills to defend herself and others. Her sense abilities are powerful, as is her use of telekinesis. She is highly intuitive and strong in the light-side; it is difficult to manipulate or deceive her. Aida is also skilled at cleansing her mind (and others), revitalizing, and using force valor.
HOBBIES/SKILLS:
Though she has always been a traveler at heart, Aida is a skilled chef, having honed her skills throughout her lengthy journey. She has learned from the masters of their craft and has even cooked up some rather interesting recipes of her own. She is best known for serving soup, a very special dish that may taste a little different each time...
