Moria is as her image shows: a blue-white skinned young woman with long, red hair and eyes that were yellow, but now burn with a red halo. She's short, she weighs very little, and so gives the appearance of strong femininity coupled with beauty. Aside from her oversized canines and her eyes, she's quite normal looking for a melodie. Often she wears clothing which embellishes her endowments. The perception that she's easy is precisely why she does so. Her dependence on life energy to keep from undergoing the change requires that she be able to get people alone so that she can drain them without being interrupted. Most people judge a book by its cover, and she delights in playing off of that fact.
I was born in a clutch of three. My parents were fortunate that all three of us survived to hatch. My sisters and I were also fortunate to survive to the age of the changing despite all of the creatures of Yavin 8 trying to eat us. But I became disenfranchised with the idea of becoming trapped within the water for the rest of my life. I discussed this at length with my sisters, but with my being the youngest of us, they quickly overruled me and discounted how I felt on the matter. It didn't change my feelings, though. I didn't want to become trapped within the waters, deep beneath the ground, unable to ever explore the rest of our world, let alone the wider galaxy. That, to me, did not seem like living, it seemed like torture.
When it came time for us to undergo our changing ceremony I resisted. I didn't want to be stuck. My sisters tried to drag me down to the water with them, but I screamed, kicked and did everything I could to keep from being thrown in. This activated abilities that I didn't know I had, and through my hands I sucked the life out of my sisters. In so doing, my body took their energy and essentially turned back my internal biological clock to a younger age. I no longer felt the call to go down to the water and become changed. I felt free again. Free to do as I wished and no one could stop me from doing so. Though I did feel bad at the loss of my sisters, I knew my parents would likely reproduce again and replace them. In the end they would be fine and I would stop caring.
I used this new freedom to explore. It was plenty dangerous, but nothing could touch me. In my wandering I came across a group of traders who were gathering up some of the already changed, offering them a life off the planet, working in water systems, or as performers. To me this didn't seem any better than living underground in dark caves, but it wasn't my choice to go with them for that purpose. They were, however, enticed by my figure, as I quickly noted. I played on that a bit, acting the young girl, but then I was younger then and had little experience with outsiders so most of it wasn't really an act. It worked, though. They took me in. I'm certain they intended to abuse me, but once we got into space on their ship, I drained them each of their life. I sort of wish I'd waited, though, as I probably could have done with learning to fly.
The ship was eventually found by a group of soldiers from nearby Yavin 4. They took me in, and took my fellows away to take care of them. I seduced my way among them, gaining sustenance and passage away. Ultimately I stole off to head towards the Caldera, having heard from the soldiers about the Sith forces there. I was certain they could teach me to be stronger. When I arrived I only found a new empire. I didn't particularly want to subject myself to some emperor. The lack of mutual respect among that breed of Sith was too appalling for my taste. I didn't want to be controlled I wanted to be taught. And I wanted to hurt people. I found I enjoyed that, quite a bit. But I learned of another group of Sith at the world of Bastion, and so I went there instead, seeking to learn from them.
They would teach me. I knew they would. And if they didn't? Well, their life energy would be mine.
