BIOGRAPHY:
Solia was born into an affluent family on Coruscant. Her father owned a string of business ranging from food distribution to weaponry production. Her mother died when she was young, but she had two younger siblings that she was very close to. The three of them were spoiled with luxuries beyond their wildest dreams. They were given the best education, Solia became fluent in over 40 languages and dialects. She also excelled in her engineering studies.

One afternoon, when Solia was 14, she and her two siblings were out for a walk around their estate. They were reclining in the grass by the fruit trees, taking in the sweet smells of late summer, when her sister wandered off. Her brother offered to go find her. Solia waited for a while before concern started to set in. When she realized they weren't coming back she spent hours, late in to the night, desperately trying to find them. When night turned into morning she rushed to tell her father, only to find that he wouldn't give her the time of day. Solia told her nanny who informed the police. Her brother and sister were eventually found, dead, with a note addressed to their father. The children's killers were a posse of ex-employees. They had demanded fairer working conditions, their demands had been ignored followed by their expulsion from the company. This was their revenge.

Distraught and confused, Solia ran away. She spent 5 years living in the slums of Coruscant. It wasn't all that bad though, she used her skills in engineering to make a living. A modest living was made fixing that which had been broken, anything from blasters to the occasional ship. And when there wasn't anything to fix, thievery was an easy way to secure a meal. Very few things are difficult to break into when you know how the lock mechanism was built.

One day a man approached Solia at her stall in the local market. He introduced himself as a Jedi, apparently he was gotten word of Solia's skills as an engineer. He sensed the force within her and offered her a place with The Galactic Alliance and promised that if she worked for them, they would train her to use the force. She stayed with the Jedi for almost a year before she ran again. The Galactic Alliance were supposed to be the "good guys" but they didn't give her time of day. They saw her as a machine built to fix their ships, if she asked about training they would brush her off and send her back to her workroom.

Escape was easy, and her first stop was the bank. She often accompanied her mother there as a child before she died, so she remembered the place well. Solia disabled the security and stole 4.5 million credits from her fathers safe. She was in and out in under 3 minutes. She then proceeded to donate all of the credits to a local orphanage.

Now Solia doesn't know where she is going, nor what the future holds. But one thing is for sure, she is never looking back.

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
(+) Fluent in over 40 languages and dialects - Can communicate with most species she encounters.
(+) Excels in mechanical engineering - Can fix what most call "unfixable", hack most computers, and crack locks with ease.
(+) Extremely charismatic - Makes friends with everybody.
(+-) Strong with the force, although untrained so she can't use it.
(-) She was sheltered as a child so she doesn't know much of the galaxy beyond Coruscant.
(-) Adrenaline junkie - It doesn't take much convincing to get Solia to do something stupid with you.
(-) Her combat skills leave much to be desired.
