GENERAL INFORMATION
“She came across as one of the sharpest engineers anyone was likely to meet.
Polished, professional, and always seeming two steps ahead of the room. People often mistook her quiet composure for distance, but those who earned her trust discovered someone surprisingly bold, with a hidden streak of adrenaline-seeking energy.
Smart, steady, and far tougher than her refined exterior suggested, Solaina carried herself with a kind of quiet confidence that lingered. She kept her emotions guarded, but when she let someone in, she left a lasting impression.”

Solaina Embarri was born on the pastoral Outer Rim world of Seltos, a planet known for its skilled machinists, starship retrofitters, and industrial guild academies.HISTORY
Her family lived in the port-city of Kessira, where she grew up surrounded by engine noise and the metallic smell of repair yards. From an early age she displayed an uncanny aptitude for systems logic and reactor physics, memorizing engine schematics the way other children learned songs. Her teachers believed she was destined for the world’s prestigious Industrial Architects’ Guild, but Solaina dreamed bigger.
Of ships that crossed sectors, not just orbital corridors. When she was twelve, she witnessed a Naboo diplomatic skiff arrive in-system, its shimmering hull and elegant curves unlike anything built on Seltos. That moment crystallized her ambition; she would study at the Royal Academy of Naboo/Theed, where engineering was treated as both art and science.
Her academy years on Naboo refined her raw talent into mastery. Theed’s pristine halls were far from the utilitarian grays of Seltos, but Solaina adapted with quiet determination. She excelled in advanced propulsion theory, structural harmonics, and starship operations.
While most of her classmates specialized narrowly, she insisted on broadening her curriculum to include a small but formative dip into piloting fundamentals. Though not a standout pilot, she developed a natural feel for thrust balancing and emergency drift corrections, skills that made her an exceptional systems designer.
It was during these years that she forged deep friendships with peers who were both intimidated and fascinated by her precise, self-possessed demeanor. Among them was one that pushed her to explore herself, a fellow student known for his easy charm and romantic bravado. Their relationship was tentative, warm, and filled with late-night debates about numerous topics.
He played a pivotal role in drawing Solaina out of her rigid academic shell by introducing her to people she might have otherwise ignored. His peers introduced her to Theed’s underground music lounges and swoop-bike night rallies. Experiences that awakened the adrenaline-seeking streak she kept carefully hidden. Though she maintained her reputation as one of the academy’s most disciplined students, privately she would sneak into restricted hangars to test propulsion modifications on training craft.
Their relationship wavered between friendship and something deeper, never fully defined but undeniably formative. Solaina admired his confidence, his charismatic approach to anything and everything, and his belief that brilliance required a touch of rebellion. He often teased her that she’d never settle for an assignment that kept her planetside.
“You’re built for starship corridors, Sol,” he’d say. “No world can hold you for long.” It was a joke then, before “no world can hold you” became a cold reality neither of them anticipated.
Everything changed when the Sith Empire expanded into the sector containing Seltos. In a show of military and technological dominance, they deployed the Blackwall, sealing Seltos behind a barrier that scrambled sensors, devoured comm signals, and seemed to obliterate any ship attempting to pass through. The act severed all hyperspace lanes into and out of the system.
For Solaina, studying offworld during its deployment, it was catastrophic. Overnight she became a displaced daughter unable to return home, her family’s fate trapped behind an impenetrable curtain.
No signals came out. No messages. No ships.
Solaina threw herself deeper into her studies to cope, her composed public facade hardening into a shield that masked grief and helplessness.
After graduating with honors, Solaina committed herself to starship engineering with a zeal shaped by both ambition and loss. She believed with quiet ferocity that if anyone could devise a way to pierce the Blackwall, it would be someone like her.
That flame remained by her side for a time, supportive and steady, but the emotional weight of her exile complicated their relationship on top of other issues that remained a constant. Until ultimately citing varied reasons to make it easier to forget one another. She chose to pursue field assignments over settling into a research position to avoid running into him again, pushing herself toward the frontiers where innovation accelerated under pressure.
Her expertise in propulsion, damage control, and emergency operations became her hallmark. Outwardly, she is the epitome of Naboo-trained professionalism; disciplined, articulate, and impeccably controlled. Inwardly, she carried the restless fire of a woman who had lost her home but not her purpose.
An engineer driven not just by curiosity, but by the hope that one day the Blackwall will fall, and she will cross the stars back to Seltos at last.

APPEARANCE
Solaina Embarri possesses a quiet, unmistakable radiance, one shaped as much by her Naboo education as by the culture of distant Seltos. Her skin is a warm, even tone with a natural softness that contrasts with the precision of her features. High cheekbones, a refined jawline, and expressive eyes give her an elegant, thoughtful presence. Her hair, kept in the same smooth, carefully maintained style frames her face in a way that enhances both her youth and her seriousness.
Nothing about her appearance is accidental; every detail reflects discipline, care, and the cultivated polish of someone who grew up balancing nobility, duty, and technical ambition.
In her physicality, Solaina has the posture of a woman trained to move through academic halls, starship catwalks, and royal ceremonies with equal ease. She stands straight, shoulders relaxed but never slouched, giving her a composed silhouette that conveys competence before she ever speaks.
Her hands, nimble, precise, and often hyper-expressive when she works, betray her engineering background; even at rest, they seem prepared to adjust a calibrator, lift a datapad, or trace the schematic of a starship component from memory.
When she walks, her steps are deliberate and grounded. She never rushes unless she chooses to, and even then her movements retain an almost balletic efficiency.
Yet beneath that refinement lies a simmering energy visible only to those who know her well.
When she laughs, the restraint falls away and her smile becomes bright, unguarded, almost startling in its sincerity. Her eyes sharpen with curiosity whenever she encounters a technical challenge, or the promise of adrenaline. In private moments, she carries herself with a looser confidence, the disciplined edges relaxing into something adventurous and deeply alive.
This contrast is never jarring; instead, it completes her. Solaina Embarri moves through the galaxy as a woman shaped by elegance but driven by intensity, a balance of poise and passion that draws attention without her ever needing to demand it.

Solaina Embarri’s personality is a study in contrasts that are seamlessly integrated, yet rarely visible all at once. In public, she presents herself with the composure and measured grace expected of a Royal Academy graduate. She is articulate, meticulously organized, and intellectually sharp, with a talent for noticing what others overlook. Around colleagues, she is respected for her calm professionalism and her ability to detach emotion from technical decision-making. Solaina values logic, precision, and preparedness; she thinks in cause-and-effect patterns, speaks thoughtfully, and never enters a situation without understanding its structural or social dynamics. These qualities make her appear mature beyond her years, even aloof at times, but those who spend enough time with her quickly recognize that her restraint is not coldness, it is discipline.PERSONALITY
Privately, however, Solaina’s personality expands into something far more spirited. Beneath her controlled exterior lives a woman who thrives on challenge, motion, and the pulse of possibility. She is an adrenaline seeker in a quiet, deliberate way, being drawn to fast flights, daring maintenance climbs, and the raw freedom of pushing past limits. Her tastes lean unexpectedly grunge; distorted music reverberating through her quarters, creative messes born from late-night tinkering, and a mischievous sense of humor she only reveals to those she trusts. Solaina feels deeply but guards those feelings with care; her affection is steady, loyal, and slow-burning, yet powerful once earned. She is introspective, sometimes to a fault, but driven by a fierce desire to shape her own future, especially in a galaxy where her homeworld is sealed behind the Blackwall. Her personality, in its full complexity, blends refinement with daring; an elegant mind paired with a restless, passionate heart.
STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES
Analytical Precision - Solaina excels at breaking down complex engineering problems into structured, manageable components. Her ability to remain calm under pressure allows her to diagnose issues faster than most of her peers.
Emotional Discipline - She maintains exceptional self-control, rarely allowing stress or personal feelings to cloud her judgment. This makes her a reliable presence in crisis situations and a natural stabilizer for those around her.
Adaptive Intelligence - Though highly structured in her methods, Solaina can pivot quickly when circumstances demand creativity. This blend of rigor and flexibility makes her unusually effective in unpredictable starship environments.
----
Overly Guarded - Her tendency to keep emotions tightly contained can distance her from others without meaning to. Even friends sometimes struggle to read her true feelings or intentions.
Perfectionistic Expectations - Solaina often sets standards for herself—and occasionally for others—that are difficult to meet. When things fall short, she internalizes the failure more deeply than she admits.
Risk-Seeking in Private - While composed in public, her need for adrenaline can lead her into reckless situations behind closed doors. This hidden impulsiveness sometimes clashes with the disciplined image she tries to uphold.
