PERSONALITY:
Kayla is an extremely alive person, living in the now and trying to not worry too much about the future which comes at great effort considering her gift of Precognition due to which she will fail at at sometimes but not for lack of trying. She does have a overprotective strife but this is strongly because she is the eldest of four children and has spent quite a bit of time with her parents being away while growing up, making her feel like she has to look over her younger siblings. Extremely close to her mother, as well as the twins, however she always butts heads with her youngest sibling, Mimi. While others may be lenient towards the youngest one, Kayla has always felt there is more to her than just that but could never quite pinpoint what it was. Hence why her relationship to the youngest Christman is quite unique compared to the rest of the family. When it comes to her father, Kayla loves is very much just as any of her elders, yet, for all his travels over the years, she's grown more close to her mother, and even more because of the shared bond of wanting to be a Jedi she has with her.She's quite capable in quite a few things and loves to take hobbies. Kayla loves the dance, cook and often practice what she has learned from her mother about her Force abilities and takes quite a bit time studying. As the eldest, she's always felt she has to set an example to the other three, however, that won't stop her from sometimes exploring boys and having fun. The interesting thing about her is that she does not lie. It is often hard for her to even withhold things from people due to her truthful nature.
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
(+) Courageous: Kayla is extremely brave and has been for the most part of her life. This especially comes from the fact that she is the eldest of four children and she's always felt this is very important for them and later, it just became part of who she is.
(+) Curious: Tied in nicely with her courage, Kayla is very curious. Mostly about life and all things to do with life, including the opposite gender.
(+) Extensive Political education: In light of her mother's later absense from her life, her grandparents took care of her education which at one point took from the simple rich girl education and completely became focused on political science which was to be career some day. Kayla decided on a different path but her education remains.
(+) Other skills: Area studies, Business, Dancing, Debate, Diplomacy, Economy, Galaxy literature, History, Linguistics, Musical lessons, Piloting, Public Administration, Sociology
(+/-) Prophetic Force Powers: Kayla is strongest when it comes to Farsight and Precognition compared to all all her other powers. However, they only manifest in her dreams and never when she's awake.
(+/-) Can't Tell a Lie: Kayla has never ever been capable of spatting out a single lie. At times, she tried withholding certain things, harmless details, but it comes to her extremely hard.
(-) Lacking proper training: Despite her potential with the Force and her mother a Jedi Knight and grandmother posessing just enough theoretical knowledge to explain certain things to her about the Force, Kayla seriously lacks any real training.
(-) Gene for Blindness: She's inherited the gene for blindness. Alone, it probably will remain dormant but in combination with another who des possesses it, it will carry.
THEME SONGS:

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE:
Long blonde hair, curled at its end with eyes that are naturally blonde but may at times appear light green, Kayla takes far more after her mother than she does her father. However, her firm lips and her nose shape made her stand out even from her. Standing at 5'3'' with 130 pounds, the female maintains a slim but shaped figure even at her young age. Her clothes vary. Coming from a more prominent family of politicians, Kayla lacked for nothing and this included clothes, not just from her home planet but even from other planets where her grandparents visited and brought back for her.Her physical features likes to wary a lot. Her eye color, while blue, will shift to green in certain lights. Same as with her hair which is blond by her inheriting more genetic features from her mother and yet, it's highly affected by the sun (or suns in case of her home planet) based on which it will change shades depending on the intensity of it.

BIOGRAPHY:
Childhood. Kayla was born first of all the Christman children and as such, certain responsibilities came with her growing up very early. She was always the oldest, always looking after her brother and sisters. The interesting thing was however that while she always worked so well with Anakin and Annika, it was always hard with Mimi. Something about her youngest sister made things hard. Right from the moment her Mom was pregnant. So much that Kayla actually assumed full big sister mode with her two siblings while Leigh battled with the pregnancy and labor. Beyond that, life at the Christman and Bergen household, things were pretty much up to schedule. Their education was extremely important, as well as other activites. Kayla's grandfather took politics very important. And as such, the children's education was filled with endless holo-videos of senate activity, data upon data of legislation. Any one or all of Leigh's children could have easily gone into politics due to how much they had been exposed to it. And it worked on one of them but not on all of them.
Family Legacy. At the age of seven, Kayla discovered an old family album with large amunt of family members she didn't even know about. She asked her grandfather but he told her not to ask that again. Her grandmother heard that and said nothing but later that evening when all had gone to bed, she came to Kayla's room with the album, revealing to the family story, the long line of Jedi and her Uncle turned to the darkside, killing most of the living family. She also told her how her mother discovered their history and how her own powers emerged. The whole story intrigued the girl, so much that she spent the next years asking for more and more information from her grandmother. In time, she learned just how strong the family had once been, how her grandmother was the only one that wasn't Force Sensitive in generations of capable Jedi users. She also learned that a few members of the family remained alive through the attack and hid through out the galaxy. Having learned that much, Kayla's curiosity simply grew. She wanted to meet and know those people, wanted to know about them, learn from them. For now though, she would have to do with stories and old holograms.
Choosing the Force. It was shortly after 13th birthday that Kayla's first power manifested. Her mother later told her it was the exact same power that she got around the same time. It was the basic stages of telekinesis but unlike with her mother, it manifested much lighter. Since her mother was on Dantooine at the time, it was her grandmother that guided her through the initial training. While Tyra Bergen herself wasn't Force Sensitive, she had grown up with those capable of so she had picked up a few things. She couldn't show anything to Kayla but she did managed to tell her the right things. Kayla's Force Sense arrived after that. It was somewhat easier than telekinesis but at the same time, it was far bigger problem with controlling it. The power manifested on its own, sometimes when she least wanted it, often refusing to calm down. In time, she had to learn how to confuse it. The last power that manifested for the young girl was Farsight. It came to her in a dream, when she saw the return of her father. The dream itself woke her up but it wasn't until her father actually came to her mother on Dantooine did Kayla figure it wasn't just a dream, but instead a vision.
Not long passed after all three powers manifested that Kayla just knew what she wanted to do with herself in her life. It wasn't even all that hard. The choice was as simple deciding whether she wanted apple or peach juice when she was thirsty. It wasn't a decision Kayla would ever walk away from, however, the bigger problem was how to tell her grandparents what she decided. Her grandmother would most likely understand since she was the one that had secretly been helping her but the blonde knew well enough that her grandfather who never understood it really wouldn't.
Teenage years. Most of Kayla's early teenage years were uneventful, time spent training with mother and grandmother as well as spending time with her family. But by the time Kayla turned fifteen, things changed. She noticed boys around her, noticed she didn't much care about for boys her age but instead that men interested her much more. That led her to her first time with a young man at the age of twenty when she was fifteen. In all honestly, the even was rather enjoyable despite it being the first time for the girl. After that, it was mostly a couple more young men around the same age difference, teaching her plenty of things. The experiences that the young blonde were plenty. She learned quite a bit from her little adventures, helping her discover what she liked, what she wanted in men and what she wanted in her life.
Meeting Zane Starkiller. On what was to be an ordinary day in the life of Kayla Christman changed quite a bit. Something crashed from the sky and despite her grandfather warning her not to wonder what it was, Kayla rushed into the desert, finding Zane Starkiller there in an escape pod. Before they changed scenary, they were attacked by Sand People and a Krayt Dragon, Zane being caught into the nasty beast as she managed to kill it, he caught out the precious crytals from it, giving Kayla a blue one. Things didn't end being interesting then, with the two them getting intimate twice, first time caught by Mimi that led to bribing her with lunch and second time in Kayla's room which ended up going very far. Despite Kayla's prefered type of men, she hit it off with Zane, enjoying his company in in more ways then one. All the things happening that day, Kayla built up the courage to speak to her grandparents, finally revealing to them that she wanted to be a Jedi just like her mother, allowing her to leave Tatooine with Zane.
Jedi Padawan. Time on Dantooine was interesting Kayla. She never actually took a Master to train her but instead, chose to spend time with the younglings, first learning with them and later assisting the trainers in teaching new younglings that arrived to the temple quite often, much younger than she was. She didn't understand at first why she would choose the path she did but as time progressed, Kayla began to understand that for all the future training she would receieved, training younglings was something that she simply wished to do as a Jedi, someday when she was ready.
Attack on Dantooine. The time for her to progress wouldn't come any time soon though as Zane contacted her during a group training session where he warned about an attack on Dantooine from the Sith Imperium. As Kayla tried to warn other Jedi Masters of the upcoming danger, none of them believed her while her mother instantly did without complete explanation on who had given her information. After making sure her mother left with her Master, Adrianna Fiore, Kayla took off to Tatooine where she met up with Zane, only to take him in at her home for as long as he wanted. For all the innocent beginning that visit had, eventually, it turned it just what it was in his last stay.
Visions within Dreams. Though it wasn't the most common thing with Kayla, every so often she would dreams of things. In the beginning, she mistook for nothing more than dreams but after she dreamed of her father being taken, she as well as her family learned of her prophetic dreams. They've always been extremely connected to either those around her or herself and every so often, they would be things that would never happen but should have. One such dream was one that repeated itself in various different forms, a man always appearing in them to tell her: I will always love you and I will never love you. Every time Kayla awakens from such a dreams, she feels extremely sad.
Some Lives are Linked across Time. Kayla traveled to Corellia with her mother to Master Fiore during which she experienced the most vivid dream of the man that stretched out well after she awakened.
