---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
STRENGTHS:

• Natural Flight: Her flight is not merely physical; it is a symphony of powerful wingstrokes and subtle Force manipulation. She uses the Force to lighten her mass and ride air currents, allowing for astonishing agility, speed, and altitude. In combat, this makes her a highly mobile and unpredictable adversary, capable of striking from any angle.
• Prodigious Force Connection: As an Orsonian, her connection to the Force is innate and powerful. Her "horn" acts as a natural focusing crystal, allowing for precise and potent telekinesis. This compensates for her lack of hands, making her one of the most skilled telekineticists in the Order. She can perform delicate tasks like operating a datapad or threading a needle with the Force alone.
• Physical Prowess: Her equine physiology grants her immense strength, stamina, and speed on the ground. A single kick from her hooves, reinforced with the Force, can shatter durasteel plating.
• Unique Perspective: Her entire existence is shaped by a non-humanoid perspective. This allows her to approach problems, negotiations, and conflicts in unconventional ways that often yield surprising and peaceful solutions.
• Jedi Mastery: Despite her youth, her deep, intuitive connection to the Force and her unique challenges have accelerated her mastery. She is a wise counselor, a patient teacher, and a formidable guardian of peace.

WEAKNESSES:

• Manual Dexterity Deficiency: This is her primary challenge. She cannot physically operate standard technology, from a starship's console to a door handle. This makes her entirely dependent on droids, companions, or her own constant and mentally taxing use of telekinesis for even the simplest tasks.
• Grounded Pilot: The irony of her existence is that a being who can fly cannot pilot a starship. She is a passenger, reliant on others for interstellar travel, which can be a source of frustration and strategic vulnerability.
• Vulnerable Physiology: Her Orsonian hollow bones, while ideal for flight, are a significant liability in combat. A direct blaster bolt or a lightsaber slash that a human might survive could be crippling or fatal for her. She relies heavily on her agility and Force barriers for defense.
• Force Dependency: In a Force-nullification field (like a Ysalamiri bubble), she is critically impaired. Not only does she lose her telekinesis, but her body, accustomed to Force-assisted flight and bone reinforcement, becomes heavy and fragile. She would be quickly grounded and vulnerable.
• Rarity & Isolation: As one of a handful of Orsonians, she carries the weight of her species' near-extinction. This can lead to a profound sense of loneliness and a protective, almost possessive, attachment to the few friends she makes.

PERSONALITY & PHILOSOPHY

Serana embodies the serene and elusive nature of her Orsonian sub-species, but tempered by the responsibilities of a Jedi Master. She is profoundly calm and patient, her voice a soft, melodic contralto that carries an undeniable authority. Having been raised from a young age within the Jedi Order, she has a deep, intuitive understanding of the Living Force, viewing it as a current to be flowed with rather than a power to be wielded.

Her lack of hands has not made her helpless, but profoundly resourceful. She solves problems from a unique perspective, often using the Force in ways a humanoid Jedi would never consider. She is a gentle soul, abhorring violence, but her size and power make her a formidable protector when the need arises. A subtle melancholy often lingers around her, born from the inherent loneliness of being one of the rarest beings in the galaxy, a living relic of a near-lost people.

APPEARENCE:
Serana is a breathtaking sight. As an Orsonian Del-Ya, she combines the traits of her species into a majestic whole. Her body is that of a powerful, sleek warhorse, built for both speed and endurance. From her shoulders erupt a massive pair of broad, feathered wings, the primary feathers a stark white that contrasts beautifully with her dark blue mane and purple coat. The "horn" described for her species is not a single tooth, but a cluster of specialized, bony growths at the center of her forehead that form a short, spiraled, ivory-colored projection. This "horn" acts as a natural focusing lens for her Force abilities.

She wears no traditional Jedi robes. Instead, her gear consists of custom-made leather and materia barding. A Jedi insignia is tooled into the silk of her chest piece. Equipment packs slung over her flanks carry her few possessions and specialized equipment. Her most striking feature is her lightsaber, which is housed in a bespoke, articulated sheath mounted on the barding over her right shoulder, allowing her to draw and ignite it with telekinesis.

BIOGRAPHY:
Serana didn't have much of a childhood. She was born to a family on Shri-Tal and found purpose in the field being protected as her subspecies of the Del was rare almost to the point of extinction. With nowhere to be sent to live among her people she got to be raised in the mountains near the temple. She learned the ways of the force and was one of the first to be sent to the jedi when they arrived on the planet helping out the world with some of the hard work they had been doing with the new padawan. She was finding something very different from the others here. They were providing her with a chance to better understand the force, a chance to work on her saber skills and when she was working on some of the other areas of her own expertise... well she found that she was able to meet and join a master for herself. As she began to study first under a master in Connor harrison the Del-Ya began to expierment and learn about the force receiving new equipment she could use.

Eventually he left and disappeared moving onto other padawans and leaving her there while he was looking to have other things. She was uncertain about it when the force finally provided her an area that she would be able to better understand... She would be able to learn from a jedi master such as [member="Joza Perl"] herself who was giving her a number of lessons in the force and with any number of the different force skills. As the lessons progressed the padawans was working to be able to learn from the zeltron as well as preforming in missions. She met a strong bounty hunter named Scarlet as well as a number of others in the galaxy. her species getting a chance to go out and explore on its own while handling more things that they would be looking to have. A small amount of attention going into the different classes that jedi were offering so that she could learn how to best use the force and her own saber. Aiding a number of the others in advancing the jedi.

Her training continued as she was working on many of the other things that they were doing. Here with a few things that they would be able to better understand and better work on. All of the jedi that she could. Learning saber skills from the likes of [member="Sorel Crieff"] and being able to see the power that some of the jedi were able to wield. Their skills in the force when they were going about in different things. She got to also see the danger of some of the jedi who fell such as Aria and Connor when they went flocking to the darkside to become as powerful as they wanted to be or at least lie to themselves. Serana was working and ensuring that she learned as much as she could from her master with Joza finally believing in her, believing she was ready for the trials as she slowly took them meeting and combating the jedi. Seeing her inner self in the mirror and looking at the insight that might be coming from her there. She ascended to the chambers and was able to become a jedi knight beginning the next stage of her journey.

Serana has continued to become stronger with her confidence and powers in the force she has developed a more specialized blend of techniques that aid in her development as a dancer and more acrobatic force users while still maintaining the basics and understanding. Force kick's that her powerful legs can use while she is moving using Convection to increase the heat of her body and make it so others cannot grab onto her. A rounded force user practicing Art of the Small to understand the smallest parts of the force and life both to conceal herself in the force to a degree who others can detect her as well as heal others who are hurt with enough time. The jedi's training was something like a sponge as she tried to learn as much as she could instead of just being a basic jedi have an array of skills that would be accredited to her master Joza Perl. The zeltron one of the more successful teachers who had managed to train her in the different force aspects of being a jedi and she was able to learn what kind of jedi she would be.

Serana's skills with the force evolving so that she would better be able to expanding her own body skills and senses based powers. With skills such as Telekinesis, Waveform a more advanced and powered version Force sense in its many different flavors that would allow her senses to become far better. Notably one of her largest areas of expertise with skills like Farsight, Fighting-sight, Sense Force, Sense Path, Magnify Senses, Force vision, Truth-sense, Life Sense, Shift Sense, Force sight and Precognition. While her skills eventually carry over to one of the strongest versions for sensing and seeing into the future Shatterpoint. All as pools of jedi Telepathy with protection for herself with Thought shield. Compared to many of them her skills with the force itself here, where she was working on many more things. Allowing herself to delve deeper itno the force itself where she understood and got to work on altering the world through telepathy and Alter Environment so she could fly and glide better.

Her skills in telepathy are an improtant part of the jedi and what she is over all about to do. Skills such as Field Detection, that was essential and Life Detection techniques that go along with more of her skills. Animal telepathy that is able to work and help her with some of the creatures as well as the most important Receptive Telepathy and Projective Telepathy allowing her to be rounded out same with Technometry skills that lead to stronger instances of using the force itself so that the jedi knight can help out the order. While Serana focused her works to become stronger she also knew the value of a rounded style in combat and with some of her interest. Training with the sages and lorekeepers of the Silver jedi order like [member="Aika Kawakami"] was an important as she started to learn the basics of Battle meditation that would come in handy. Seeing much of the jedi master Thon in herself as he was a jedi master with no real hands but ovesaw an important force canyon on the world of Ambria. His skills something she was looking to emulate.

Her mental capabilities leading so that she is able to Remain Conscious and exert in a conflict while training great Force of Will that would learn to protect her. With a stronger chance to build upon herself and her lessons among the jedi. Serana started training using the lessons she taught Via, Lily and Quinn for herself. Entering a state of Battlemind as a Force form that was focused and channeled the greater skills of the force. Force Body being something that makes her stronger and better able to Revitalize herself with skills to learn meditations such as Emptiness, the Floating Meditation, Serenity trance and there is some works with learning how to Comprehend Speech of others for language skills. While working on her skills with flight the jedi pony was able to develop an affinity towards the Fireball Belch technique. Something she could use with her mouth while she is flying around instead of having to run a risk of her skills there to face some of the other jedi opponents.

Serana continued her force techniques and training working to understand the saber skills but she wasn't much of a fighter and the saber gauntlets she used were a danger. Not made for the traditional saber forms so she went with more exotic stances. Her skill with esoteric stances and techniques making sure she knew force skills such as Adiabatic shield, Cleanse, Reduce Injury, Resist Stun, Enhance Attribute, Control Pain, Shielding technique, Breath control, Tapas, Concentration, Cleanse Mind, Accelerate Healing, Force harmony, Force Sustenance, Force barrier, Protection bubble and the pair of skills to properly resist with the force. Force resistance and Energy resistance respectively. The more she trained her skills, the more she was working on what they would be able to find as a risk. The jedi trials somethign she was able to test and train herself in when she was going over the information here. Morichro was a skill she was looking at, something that a jedi could practice and use.

With her training in the force attracting attention it gave Serana a chance to work with other jedi and learn how to Inspire with the force so that her skills in the lightside of the force and her skills in the techniques that the jedi are able to use were far better. Basic lightside skills such as Force healing and Force Stun served a greater purpose as she learned to use them on other things. Like Ionize for droids and disabling them ot Tutaminis for general dangers and to give her more force energy to produce techniques like Electric Judgment and Force Shockwave. Her skills at Force generation developing with the training under the force masters to use Force Light attaining Force Enlightenment within the lightside of the force. She looked to learn a number of other skills that they could use with a look on their face here. So that they would be able to better use and set up, skills like Sand levitation and Sound mimicry as a series of skills that she could use with the skills that she has.

With her continued training and skills, Serana found herself going on the path. Practicing the skills that with the likes of Lily and Joza made her into a talented and skilled jedi. The Art of Movement that allowed her to move and us Force Jump, Force reflex, Force Dash and Force speed to generate power and Inertia to build up her own levels of strength and power. Under the proper conditions Serana's body is flexible and able to Contort from most bindings and situations even though she is built fairly average. Her skills letting her understand and with art of movement and floating telekinesis she can fly as she trained as well as use the energy built up to create Force Bursts to push others back. She worked with a few other jedi's that she would be able to set up for herself.... wanting to learn other less known lightside skills such as Force blinding and Malacia which as far as skills with the lightside of the force gives her a better skillset. Force valor is something that she can use with the others to protect herself.

Serana's elevation to Jedi Master was not the result of a single great victory, but a culmination of her journey. She had taken her own Padawans—Via, Lily, Quinn and in teaching them, she solidified her own understanding. She had become a living bridge between the Jedi and the strange, wonderful diversity of the galaxy. Her mastery is defined by a profound synthesis of her abilities. Her Shatterpoint vision allows her to perceive critical weaknesses in both physical structures and social situations. Her Force Enlightenment represents a momentary peak where her connection to the Light Side is absolute, enhancing all her abilities. She can use Tutaminis to absorb energy and channel it into a Force Light that can purge darkness, or use Electric Judgment as a last resort. Today, Master Serana stands as a testament to the versatility of the Force. She is a Consular, a Healer, a Seer, and a Guardian. She is a symbol that the Force does not favor one form over another, and that true strength lies not in overcoming one's nature, but in embracing it fully in the service of life and light.
