Nia Siroc
Character
Name: Nia Siroc
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown
Height: 1.58 m (5'2")
Weight: 51 kg (112.4 lbs.)
Force Sensitive: Yes
Affiliation: Galactic Alliance
Rank: Apprentice
Appearance: Small and lean, with hair cut short, Nia might've been confused with a younger boy for those who might not know better. Now, she wears her hair a little longer and has filled her skinny physique with hard-earned muscle. She replaced her own threadbare clothing with the homespun Padawan garb given to her.
Biography: Nia was born on the back-rocket world of Lamaredd, a world in the Outer Rim virtually untouched by any major events of galactic history. Indeed, the aquatic world was mainly known as a place from where sea life was harvested for food. It was remarkable only in that it had escaped even the notice of not only the Emperor Palpatine but even the Yuuzhan Vong invaders.
The Siroc family, as they were called, were fishermen by trade and lived in poverty. They'd come to the world centuries before at the behest of Hugo Bartyn seeking a better life. Little did they understand that the ORO agent had made them indentured servants. So it was that the prison door was shut, and even when their tenure was up, they still barely made enough to survive, let alone leave the place.
Some point after Order 66, a mysterious man had come to the world, having a secret love-affair with one of the daughters. He left shortly before she quickened and was never heard from again. This boy grew up, helping his family with the daily work. He was an unusual boy, able to often sense storms or where the greatest shoals of fish swam. In years past, the Jedi Order might have found him and his talents in the Force.
As it was, he was simply lucky that the Emperor didn't scoop him up, making him one of his Inquisitors. Lamaredd, though strong in the Force, had not forbade the Jedi from the place but it frowned on their coming to the world. Thus, it was ignored and so too was the boy. This boy grew into a man and from him, several generations hence, came Nia.
The girl was one of those within the family that had been born with the preternatural gift. They didn't really talk about it, but they accepted it as something within their family. She grew up poor but loved within the family until her sixteenth year. That was when a stranger visited them, a Mon Calamari female which hadn't been usual on the water-world.
What was strange was her being from off-world. She'd heard of Nia's strange but welcome talents spoken of in a hushed way among the villagers. She too had learned that once every generation, one such Siroc had those abilities. In the end, the Jedi told them who she was and exactly what their daughter's gifts were.
It was a hard thing for Nia's parents to let go of their eldest child, but they knew better things awaited. With tears in their eyes, they all wished her well, her parents and her little brother, and they saw her off after she collected her few things. A few days later, they arrived on Sullust, a world so totally different from that she'd known. So began her great journey of life...
Strengths:
+Hard-working, she applies herself with great vigor to what she does.
+Compassionate, having come from nothing, Nia has great compassion for those in need.
Weaknesses:
-Inexperienced as she currently is, stressful situations can make the young woman make bad decisions.
-Quixotic, she is caught up in the romantic tales of the Jedi she heard as a child.
