- Appearance: Tarno Touro is an imposing figure, a living testament to her unique heritage, standing an intimidating 6 foot 11 inches tall. She possesses the distinctive crimson skin of her Sith Pureblood father, a deep, vibrant red that covers her powerfully built frame. From her Zeltron mother, she inherits a physique of both sleek muscle and captivating curves, her form echoing the powerful, statuesque build of a figure like the bled kyber. Her hair, a cascade of black with deep crimson undertones, is typically kept in a long, practical braid that falls between her shoulder blades during operations, a stark, dark slash against her red skin. Her most striking features, however, are her eyes. They are a piercing sapphire blue, but ringed with a corona of brilliant gold a direct and unsettling manifestation of her dual nature. She moves with a latent, dancer-like grace that belies her massive size, every step and gesture fluid and economical, a gift from her upbringing in Zeltron artistic circles. Her standard-issue flight suit has been heavily modified to accommodate her build and temperament, with the torso cut away to expose her sculpted stomach and toned abs, a practical choice for comfort and a defiant display of her identity. This combination of raw, physical power and innate elegance makes her a uniquely formidable and captivating presence, both on the flight deck and in the heat of battle.

Tarno Touro's very existence was a contradiction, born from the unlikely and fraught union of a Zeltron artist and a Sith Pureblood exile on the vibrant pleasure world of Zeltros. From her mother, she inherited a natural empathy for emotion and an appreciation for beauty; from her father, a simmering intensity and a latent connection to the Force that felt like a storm waiting to break. While she moved through Zeltron society with the expected grace, the planet's endless pursuit of pleasure felt like a superficial performance, a way for the population to mask the deeper, darker currents of feeling she could instinctively sense. It was these raw, unfiltered emotions especially fear, rage, and desperation that called to the other half of her bloodline. She didn't just want to observe them; she needed to confront them, to stand at the precipice where life and death danced together.
The military offered a sanctioned, structured outlet for this profound need. Enlisting was an act of rebellion against her family's world of curated experiences, but also a desperate attempt to discipline the inherited darkness within her. In the cockpit of a starfighter, she found her calling. The sensory overload of combat the shriek of alarms, the gut-clench of evasive maneuvers, the fiery bloom of a destroyed TIE fighter was the only thing that could quiet the storm inside. The intense camaraderie of her squadron and the shared, primal emotions of battle became the most profound art form she could imagine. Her callsign, "Whyso," given by an instructor driven to exasperation by her relentless questioning, was a badge of honor. To her, it represented the core conflict of her identity: the cheerful, social Zeltron constantly interrogating the universe, and the intense Sith-descended seeker demanding to know why things are as they are.
This dual nature has proven to be a unique, if complicated, asset. Her Zeltron charm allows her to navigate social situations with an ease that makes her an effective leader and diplomat, while her Sith-derived resilience and instinct for threat make her a terrifyingly effective predator in combat. Her path was solidified when she was rescued by the Hidden Path after the attack on Coruscant, an act that gave her a cause worthy of her fierce devotion. She now channels all her conflicted loyalty into Second Flight, whom she considers her true clan. She is particularly protective of her stoic wingmate, Brady Fylan; in his quiet, grounded presence, she finds an anchor against the tempest of her own heritage. Defending him is not just about loyalty; it is a daily reaffirmation of her choice to use her inherited power for protection, not destruction.
