PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Anneliese Kaohal moves like someone who's been through the crucible and learned to walk out with her fire intact. Standing at an even height, lithe but deceptively strong, she carries herself with a quiet, commanding presence—never arrogant, but always aware. Her frame is a study in controlled strength: tightly honed muscle runs beneath her skin like cords of woven cortosis, coiled and ready. She's not bulky, but every inch of her is built for endurance, speed, and striking precision—a warrior's body shaped by discipline rather than vanity.
Her hair is a wild, radiant cascade of deep red waves, often windswept or damp with sweat from training, never perfectly kept—because she rarely sits still long enough for it. It frames a face that's striking not because it demands attention, but because it holds it. Freckles dust the bridge of her nose and cheeks, softening the hard lines of someone who's seen more than her fair share of war. Her skin, fair with the faint bronze of sun exposure, carries the quiet evidence of her life's path—scrapes, small scars, calluses, each a memory worn without shame.
Her eyes, though, are what linger in the memory. Sharp, vivid green—like verdant life after fire. They hold weight. The kind that speaks of sleepless nights, things lost, battles fought and survived, and the silent strength it takes to keep moving forward. They're guarded, always, but never cold. There's warmth in her still, deeply buried under layers of control, loyalty, and pain.
Clothing varies by circumstance, but Anneliese always dresses with purpose. In training, it's close-fitting gear—functional, breathable, often worn and sweat-stained, suited for movement and work. In battle or mission settings, her robes are minimalist and practical, but always marked by the quiet symbol of the Jedi she once was. Her lightsaber, a yellow blade bright as starlight, rests at her side like a natural extension of her—never far from reach, but never used for show.
There's a gravity to her presence—she doesn't speak more than she needs to, but when she does, it lands. There's resilience in her bones, fire in her blood, and an unyielding sense of duty threaded through every breath she takes. She looks like someone who has been broken and rebuilt more than once, and chose each time to come back sharper.
PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Anneliese Kaohal is the embodiment of disciplined grace and enduring conviction. Though her presence is quiet, it commands attention—more mountain than wildfire, more steady flame than storm. She's a woman forged in conflict and refined through compassion, carrying the scars of survival without letting them become shackles. Her demeanor is calm and composed, but never cold; there is warmth in her restraint, sincerity behind every word, and a steel spine beneath her humility.
She is introspective and thoughtful, often processing before she speaks, but when she does, her words carry weight. Anneliese listens more than she lectures, choosing guidance over control, and respect over authority. Around younger Jedi, she is patient and encouraging—never coddling, but offering quiet support, believing in their strength even when they cannot see it in themselves. With peers, she remains measured and reliable, though she's not afraid to challenge recklessness or cruelty when it arises. Her relationships with her mentors and superiors are marked by deep loyalty, but not blind obedience. She follows the Light—not hierarchy.
At the center of everything she is and does, lies her unwavering faith in Ashla—the living embodiment of the Light side of the Force. To Anneliese, Ashla is not just an energy, but a presence. A guiding hand. A quiet whisper in the dark. Her faith is neither performative nor rigid—it is personal, intimate, and alive. In moments of despair, she turns to Ashla for clarity. In battle, she draws on that connection as a source of strength. Ashla, to her, is grace. Discipline. Mercy. Justice. It is what steadies her hand when she is afraid, what softens her anger when vengeance tempts her.
Anneliese fights not out of hatred for her enemies, but out of love for those she protects. And though doubt sometimes creeps in—about her place, her worth, her path—she never stops moving forward. Her belief is not that she is perfect, but that she must strive to be better, every single day.
She is not without mischief, however. Beneath the solemn veneer lies a dry wit and sharp tongue reserved for those she trusts, where teasing becomes a sign of deep affection. She is guarded—but not unreachable. Those who truly see her know that while she may carry the weight of the galaxy in silence, she does not carry it alone.

HISTORY
Anneliese: The Last Hope of the Kaohal Clan
Anneliese, a Jedi Padawan, stands as the last beacon of hope for the Kaohal Clan, a lineage marred by tragedy and mystery. Born into a family cursed by an enigmatic entity known only as the Nameless One, Anneliese’s life has been a relentless struggle against darkness. Her journey is not just a tale of survival but also one of resilience, courage, and the unyielding spirit of a true Jedi. Unbeknownst to Anneliese, her life before and after her birth were overshadowed by the ominous presence of the Nameless One, a curse that has plagued her bloodline for generations. This malevolent entity brought untold suffering to her family, leaving Anneliese as the sole survivor.
Training as a Jedi Padawan -- Early Life
Anneliese was discovered by the Jedi of the Sliver Rest on Kashyyyk, left on the doorstep. A red-headed ball of joy to be raised by the Jedi Order and taken in as a Padawan. From a young age, Anneliese exhibited a strong affinity for the Force. Her natural abilities were evident, but her origins as a Gurlanin often led to her being overlooked and misunderstood by her peers and mentors within the Jedi Order. Despite her dedication and rigorous training, she struggled to find acceptance and a sense of belonging. Her shapeshifting abilities, while remarkable, set her apart in ways that made integration difficult. On her fourteenth birthday, she would meet with a Master who took an extreme interest in the young Padawan -- not just for her skill, but for her tenacity and perserverance, however, the victory would be short lived – war on the horizon threatened to steal the new found joy and bliss away from her. Thrown into war after only a few months as a newly appointed Padawan Apprentice, Anneliese’s life took a dramatic turn during the Battle of Tython. This pivotal conflict was a test of her skills and her resolve. In the heat of battle, she faced a Sith acolyte, a confrontation that would leave her emotionally scarred. The intensity of the fight and the necessity of taking a life weighed heavily on her conscience. This experience was a harsh introduction to the brutal realities of war and the moral complexities of being a Jedi.
Emotional Aftermath
The aftermath of the Battle of Tython was a period of deep introspection and emotional turmoil for Anneliese. The act of taking a life, even in self-defense, conflicted with her strong connection to the Light. She grappled with feelings of guilt and isolation, questioning her place within the Jedi Order and her own identity. This period of vulnerability was crucial in shaping her character and her understanding of the Force. Recognizing her potential and the need for a fresh start, the Jedi Council decided to transfer Anneliese to a new order – this is where she found a new start. New friends, a new Master, and the one who would become the love of her life.
A New Start -- The NJO
Her journey at the New Jedi Order (NJO) begins with a mix of excitement and trepidation. After the harrowing events on Tython, she carries the weight of her past, unsure if she truly belongs among the Jedi. Her doubts are palpable, but so is her determination to find her place. Valery Noble, the GrandMaster of the NJO, recognizes something special in her. Valery's wisdom and experience allow her to see beyond the surface, noticing the tenacity, honesty, and grit that define her. When Valery selects her for a welcome mission, it's both a test and an opportunity. Throughout the mission, she proves her worth, showing courage and resourcefulness. By the end, Valery offers her the chance to become her Padawan, a moment that fills her with a mix of pride and apprehension.
The next step in her journey is to find the heart of her lightsaber: her crystal. This quest takes her to the crystal caves, a place known for its trials. The caves are not just a physical challenge but a spiritual one. They test her heart, mind, and resolve, forcing her to confront her fears and the trauma of Tython. Each step in the cave is a step towards healing, and when she finally finds her crystal, it shines as bright as the mourning sun, a yellow beacon of hope and renewal.
During her time at the NJO, she forms bonds with fellow Padawans, finding friendship and camaraderie that help her feel less alone. Among these new friends is Roman, a boy she had admired from afar. Their relationship blossoms slowly and eventually into a courtship, built on mutual respect and shared experiences. As they grow closer, they begin to uncover the mysteries of her past together, piecing together the fragments of her history and understanding the forces that shaped her.

- Master
Valery Noble
~ Absolutely befuddled that Valery Noble would pick her to become Padawan, Anneliese is beyond grateful for the opportunity to study under such a renowned and experienced Jedi Master. Valery embodies, in Anneliese's eyes what it means to be Jedi, and she strives everyday to make her Master proud, and constantly thanks her for the adventure that they've begun together. -
Roman Vossari
-- Secretly admired from afar for sometime, the two have begun a journey together, one of becoming known to each other as time begins to pass. Roman is a tether for Annie at times, helping to ground the wildfire of a person she is, and slowing her down -- making her process things. Complimenting each other as opposites, the two are often found in close proximity to one another whenever they are able -- attracted to each other like magnets.
-
Caelan Valoren
- A young prince, a young boy that Anneliese came across by sheer happenstance and helped get to safety. From the first moment she helped him, a part of her heart was dedicated to him. Like the little brother she never had, Annie is fiercely protective of him. Always helping to push him on for success, or cheering him on when he's down -- Anneliese loves the title, Big Sis.

NOTABLE QUOTES
"On the night of the Red Moon, when the sky bleeds crimson and shadows dance in the twilight, the Nameless One shall rise. From the depths of forgotten realms, he will emerge, cloaked in mystery and bound by fate. The stars will tremble, and the earth will whisper secrets long buried. In this hour of dread, a lone figure shall she stand, a flickering light against the consuming darkness. With a heart scarred by the fires of despair with a soul unyielding, she will confront the Nameless One. Bound by blood, her destiny intertwined with the darkest of fates, she will face the ultimate trial. The clash of destinies will reverberate through the void, and the outcome will carve the fate of all worlds."
Seek the answer in the shadows cast,
Where light and dark entwine at last.
A name forgotten, a fate concealed,
In blood and fire, truth revealed.
Should she falter, darkness shall reign,
The Nameless One's power unchained.
Worlds will crumble, hope will fade,
In eternal night, all will be laid.
