Being born a slave on Nar Shaddaa wasn't the most glamour, it wasn't even worth living for a sensible person. But as a slave, you had little choice in the matter, and especially when you were born a Twi'lek, how the curse of natural beauty was the species downfall. Aola Shala was born into servitude, because of her mother and father was owned by a slimeball by the name of Nema the Hutt. He owned a large area in the rich end of the city-planet, lived in luxury, and ruled like a dictator over his properties. While Aola's mother worked as a dancer and private entertainer for the guest of the Hutt. Aola only figured out much later what the private entertaining meant. Her father worked as one of Nema's miners, oftentimes being gone for more than a couple of days, getting worked to death by guards. However, despite the horrible work and living conditions, they never let it show to Aola and always found time for her when it was possible.
As she started to come into her teenage years, her beauty and gens of her mother, she started to get noticed Nema the Hutt. Aola's mother begged and father tried to reason with the guards but fell on deaf ears. Screaming and kicking, Aola tried to get free, but to no effect. When she was brought in front of Nema, the Hutt got transfixed on the girl's beauty and immediately ordered to be put under training by the other dancers.
Aola's situation as a trainee exotic dancer was never something she in million years thought of ending up doing for the rest of her life, but, with how things looked, it was hard not to give up. However, it did help her situation, when her mother convinced Nema to let her personally train and teach her daughter.Over the years of growing up under servitude as an exotic dancer to Nema the Hutt, Aola started to really despise the people, though, her parent's advice kept her going. Instead of using all her energy on hate and sorrow, she through her optimism kept an eye open for a way to escape the hell hole.
That window didn't show itself until Aola hit adulthood when a young Twi'lek about the same age as her, entered Nema's stronghold and club where Aola and her mother danced. The Twi'lek, who she quickly learned his name to be Taol, a bounty hunter apparently, had been smitten by her beauty and fallen madly in love with Aola. Aola soon became the man's personal dancer and entertainer, and to her relief, he never wanted her to pleasure him when they were alone. Time after time he spent credits to have alone time with Aola. Being madly in love, he started to promise riches and freedom and practically wooing her with large and vague promises of a better life and future.
While she did find him sweet, she just wanted her freedom and so she waited for him to lower his guard, knocking him out when he turned his back to her one day. Luckily for Aola, the bounty hunter had the same blue skin colour as her, and so Aola sneaked her way out, finding her mom and father fled for the stronghold's hanger. Unfortunately, they were soon discovered and chased by guards through the entire Stronghold. Seeing her mother get recaptured, she tried to go back and save her, but Aola's father forced her to continue to run for a ship that was ready to take off. While Aola and her father did manage to escape in a ship and leave Nar Shaddaa, her father had been shot and was dying as they went through hyperspace.
Aola never forgot the last words her father told her as she kneeled by his dying body, "Please don't cry Bluebell, stay optimistic and happy, don't lose what is truly you". Hearing his last words, Aola vowed three things that day. Never to lose who she was, always stay optimistic even if things looked dire and save her mother one day. With finally having freedom, Aola started to find her place in the galaxy, ending up taking all manners of odd jobs here and there, which also showed her, that she had a knack for smuggling and piracy. And so, she started to steal from the Hutts every now and then, or smuggle high valued cargo for whoever could pay the most. -
Born with fair skin and soft facial features, Aola has always been deeply admired for her innate beauty, having some curious round eyes. With full lips, playful smile and cheeky eyebrows, she can often get away with many of her mischievous deeds.
Rather average in height and weight for a Twi'lek, Aola is, however, gifted with long Lekkus reaching just above her bottom. Due to her optimistic nature, she never has a hard time to find something which she found funny, Aola could often be found with a sweet smile on her lips and her big curious eyes always scanning the vicinity for further items of amusement.

Strengths and Weaknesses
+Optimist - Aola is a girl always with the optimistic view on things. No matter the situation is she able to find a bright spot in a dire situation.
+Fast learner - From an early age, Aola quickly realized she had a natural skill in learning new things at a rapid pace and uses it to her advantage.
+Great shots - Aola is particularly well versed in blaster training and is able to hold her own in a firefight.
+Survivor - Growing up as a slave on Nar Shaddaa has forced Aola to adapt and learn to survive, giving her a natural self-preservation mindset.
+Wide skillset - After freeing herself from servitude, she picked up a various set of non-combative skills on her journey as a free person.
-Best friend - Her best friend and partner in crime, is a mountain of a Gamorrean by the name of Uktauss Gluktacs. But Aola just calls him Tauss for short.
-Goofy - While she is very optimistic in her view on life, she does have a rather goofy side to her which often can get her into trouble or not be taken serious by other people.
-Twi'lek beauty - Because of her being a Twi'lek, a natural sense of exoticness is viewed by many and she is often met with flirting, shrewd or subtle comments about her when she visits places like clubs or bars.
-Walls of protection - While her goofiness is just part of her optimist joyful persona, she also uses humour to shield herself from her problems. This mentality of just pushing problems or uncomfortable thoughts back with humour does mean she has trouble with opening up to other people.
-Green fingers - Growing up a slave, she had nothing, she owned nothing and was the property of a Hutt crime boss. Due to that, she quickly learned how to steal from other people without getting noticed. However, after freeing herself, the itch of stealing other people's stuff has never subsided completely. -
