Spoiler

Sha'do knows very little about her past and doesn't even know her real name or birthdate. Her real name is Aelyn Radt and she's actually closer to 19

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
HEIGHT: 5'2"
WEIGHT: 110lbs
EYES: amber
HAIR: red-brown
FUR: russet and cream with some darker stripes

Sha'do is small and agile, with warm amber eyes and soft fur in cream and russet marbled tones. She has some striping over her body, but it's very minimal. Her russet mane is long and well groomed, usually kept in a thick bun or a wrapped braid. Though fit and well toned, she looks as though she could use a few good meals to add some meat to her bones. while not pictured, Sha'do does have a tail, same color as her mane

PERSONALITY
Sha'do is somewhat shy and withdrawn. Having spent the early years of her life as an orphan and then her more recent years as a slave, she doesn't have much in the way of social skills. And yet with people she lets herself get close to, she is surprisingly sweet and affectionate. She loves helping people, it's all she wants to do. As with any Cathar, she does have a bit of a temper and it can get her into trouble from time to time, but she's learned to reel in her outbursts. She gets easily annoyed with people who pity her or give her special treatment because she had her tongue cut out. While it does make some things difficult, she doesn't let this get her down. Fierce and determined, Sha'do is always willing to keep trying even when it seems like something it impossible. Despite having grown up in slums and slavery, she has an understanding of right and wrong and has very strong opinions about it.

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
+ Speed and agility. Her short stature makes her a smaller target and her acrobatic movements make her even harder to hit
+ Very open-minded and not opposed to trying new things.
+ Cathar healing; she heals faster than the average human.
+ Cathar senses; excellent hearing and sense of smell, and her eyes are optimized to track prey and cut through the dark.
- Her Cathar temper has gotten her into trouble more than a few times
- Sha'do is mute. She had her tongue cut out, but can still make some sounds, mostly feline in nature.
- Small stature means her strikes don't have a lot of power behind them, unless she's augmenting her strikes with the Force
- Social Anxiety and ineptitude
- Curiosity killed the cat; Sha'do is intensely curious about all the new things around her, exploring and examining with child-like abandon, often to the detriment of her own safety

BIOGRAPHY
Sha'do was formerly a slave of the Nikto crime lord, Abraxis Sevanar, on Nar Shadda. When not seeing to her master's sexual gratification, she helped guard his personal compound and family. After Valkren Calderon freed her from slavery, she was taken to the Jedi Temple at Ossus where she met Knight Uri Aureleos who became her Master and began training her as a Jedi Padawan.

FRIENDSHIPS​

[member="Valkren Calderon"]​

I met Valkren when he infiltrated my Master's compound. He took me away from my Master, freed me, and took me to a place of safety where I could learn to control my gifts through the Force. He was very kind to me and I will never forget him. I hope to see him again one day...​

[member=Ajax]​

I thought I had run into a wall, but it was just Ajax. I do not know what gravball is or why he is so famous for it, but for all the attention he receives, I think he is very lonely...​

[member="Travot Ravenna"]​

I accidentally made his autochef blow up. I hope he forgives me for this, but I'm still not sure if I like him. I know he is Valkren's friend, but he is still Jedi, and after what Valkren told me about how Jedi treat soldiers, I am not sure I want to be a Jedi...​

[member="Felis Verrutum"]​

Felis is an interesting fellow; he's kind of like me, afraid of everything. But he let me near him, and we even caught a brief nap in the shade. In fact, it seems he can only sleep when I am near. I think more than anything he appreciated that I understood his pain and didn't judge or pity him.​

[member="Uri Aureleos"]​

I went on a walk with Knight Aureleos after I ran from my lessons again. At first, I though he was going to be like the other instructors at the Academy, only caring about the lessons instead of what I wanted. But he taught me how to use telepathy and actually listened when I spoke.... And he glows, which is weird...

Avreet ([member="Darth Veles"])
I met Avreet in the swamps of Degobah. He saved me from a Sith woman who nearly killed me, though he called her a Dark Jedi, which I wasn't overly fond of, but I get the feeling he didn't care too much for the fact that I identified her as Sith anymore than I like being her being associated as a Jedi. At first, I had no idea he was a Sith, he was so polite and nice, so unlike the crazed woman. Then he saved me from a dragonsnake while I killed the crazy lady, and then he walked me back to camp. We had an enlightening conversation, I look forward to talking with him again! I just hope this doesn't get me into trouble...​
