- Strong moral clarity regarding Iridonia's freedom

2. Internalized anger: Her tendency to suppress emotions can cloud judgment and sometimes trigger unintentional Force outbursts.

Background

Liressa Khan was born on Iridonia to Falleen parents who had settled among Iridonian clans generations earlier. Though not native by species, her family fully integrated into Iridonian culture, earning both respect and suspicion.

From childhood, Liressa could feel others—fear, loyalty, intent—far beyond what typical Falleen pheromonal sensitivity allowed. As Iridonia fell deeper under external influence and exploitation, these abilities sharpened.

Rather than seek Jedi training, Liressa chose anonymity. She became a coordinator, infiltrator, and silent enforcer for pro-independence cells, using her presence, instincts, and subtle Force manipulation to destabilize occupying forces without drawing galactic attention.

Force Abilities

(Instinctive, subtle, and growing)

Heightened emotional and environmental awareness
Limited precognitive flashes
Force-enhanced reflexes and movement
Emotional dampening or amplification (often layered unconsciously with Falleen pheromones)
Minor telekinetic manipulation under stress

Note: Liressa does not wield a lightsaber. She believes claiming one would force her into a larger galactic narrative before Iridonia is ready.

Combat & Skills

Hand-to-hand combat (efficient, disabling, precise)
Vibroknife and compact blaster proficiency
Stealth, infiltration, and sabotage
Political navigation within resistance cells
Psychological warfare through presence alone

Motivation

Primary Goal: Secure Iridonia's independence without inviting Jedi, Sith, or Imperial domination
Secondary Goal: Understand her Force sensitivity on her own terms
Greatest Fear: Becoming a symbol others control rather than a cause she believes in

Reputation

Among Iridonians: "She chose us."
Among occupiers: An untraceable influence—operations fail, loyalties fracture, morale collapses.
Among Force-sensitives: A presence felt, but never clearly seen.
