GENERAL INFORMATION
Briana Sal-Soren is an experienced war veteran and Jedi Knight of the Jedi Order on Naboo, as well as its former Grand Master and Founder. Following years of prolonged conflict, trauma, and war injuries, Briana recognized the toll it'd taken on her psyche and voluntarily stepped away from leadership in order to recover, putting her focus into re-discovering the Force's voice, its purpose, and the greater path it had in store for her. Beyond her influence on Naboo, Briana holds close ties to several Jedi Enclaves throughout the Galaxy, but most notably that of the Jakku Jedi Enclave, affiliated through her longstanding bond with Jedi Master
Romi Jade
. By birthright, she is a Princess of the Royal Houses of Naboo, part of the High Republic's recognized houses of nobility, and the Granddaughter of a rich and powerful business family from Corellia.

HISTORY

APPEARANCE
Thanks in large part to impeccable genetics and the presence of Hapan DNA, by galactic standards, Briana is considered exceptionally beautiful. Standing at an athletic and lithe 5'8", Briana boasts a clear complexion that tans easily, high cheek bones, defined brows, full rosebud lips, and bright, clear blue eyes. A very faint dusting of freckles sometimes appears across her nose.
HAIRSTYLES
Growing up as a Princess of Naboo, Briana was taught, like all noble girls within her hemisphere, to take meticulous care of her hair. With the Queens of Naboo being known for their over the top ceremonial headdresses and gravity-defying hairstyles, Briana was raised to understand that she could one day be a potential candidate for the throne and needed to be prepared for all aspects of the task. From early childhood, she was expected to sit through long, grueling hours of styling that she loathed, as such appearances were considered both proper and fashionable for someone of her status.
Though her ambitions for the Naboo throne have long since been abandoned upon choosing the Jedi path, and the elaborate hairstyles left behind with it, Briana continues to take the time to care for her hair and considers it a source of pride. Most days she can be spotted sporting simple and practical styles that better suit her and her vocation, such as crown braids, and high buns.
Rarely is it left loose, but when it is, her hair falls to her tailbone in long, thick, chestnut waves.
SCARS AND OTHER INJURIES
The most prominent and obvious of Briana's scars is a long, fern-like lightning mark that traces down the length of her spine between her shoulder blades, inflicted by the Sith Master,
Darth Wallgof
, during the Second Galactic Hyperspace War on Metellos while she was yet a Padawan. Shielding her cousin Luric from a lethal strike, the injury left her in a brief coma and confined to a bacta tank for nearly a month.
Another of her scars rests just below her heart and stretches long across her ribs. The mark was earned during the defense of the Naboo Palace, and its Queen, when the Neo-Crusaders attempted to steal from their plasma reserves and ultimately lead to her clash with the formidable field marshal,
Vreegan Fett
.
A small, circular white scar just above her right knee, on the back of her thigh, marks where Briana was shot with a void-stone slug by Sahan Dragr during the rescue of her then-Padawan,
Lily Decoria
, from her imprisonment with the Mandalorian Enclaves. The latter of which, having attempted to incite a war with the Galactic Alliance by using her Padawan as a catalyst.
From the elbow down, her right arm is fully mechanical. Once her prized dueling hand, the limb was severed by Lorn Reingard after it became irreparably damaged and putrid, following a fight against the assassin droid,
Ariadne
, in a battle that nearly cost Briana her life, and the life of her sisters, on Sepan 8.

CORE PERSONALITY
Briana Sal-Soren is decisive, assertive, strategically minded, and often more focused on the bigger picture than smaller, more immediate details. When confronted with uncertainty or chaos, her instinct is to step in and impose order, rather than wait for outside direction or consensus. Competency is a trait she values deeply, holding herself to exacting standards, and frequently expecting the same of those around her.
MORAL PERSPECTIVES
While Briana understands that reality often exists in shades of grey and accepts that there may be times when she must make harsh decisions or take morally heavy actions, she strongly maintains firm convictions regarding the Force and her role as a Jedi, believing unequivocally in the Light Side and rejecting the Dark Side as inherently corruptive and incompatible with lasting good.
