She has high cheekbones and piercing violet eyes that seem to perceive the very soul of matter. Her hands are long-fingered, delicate, yet radiate strength.

COMBAT INFORMATION

• Weapon of Choice: A lightsaber with a uniquely pure white blade, the crystal of which she grew herself. It emits a harmonic hum.

• Empathic Resonance: Her deep empathy allows her to create a perfect symbiotic bond between a weapon and its wielder, enhancing the user's connection to their instrument.

Weaknesses:

• Empathic Overload: Feeling the "pain" of crystals and the emotional echoes of artifacts can be mentally and spiritually draining, sometimes requiring long periods of isolation to recover.
• Non-Combatant: She abhors violence and is psychologically unsuited for it. In a straight fight, she would be easily overwhelmed by a dedicated aggressor.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Of the sun-scorched canyons and wind-polished mesas of Mirial, Valeriana was a child unlike any other. While her peers played with polished stones or practiced the intricate, traditional dances of their people, she would sit for hours, utterly still, with her small hand pressed against the raw face of a cliff or submerged in the cool waters of a mineral spring. Toys held no interest; her companions were the geodes that slept in the earth, their crystalline hearts humming a silent song that only she could hear. This was not mere affinity; it was a profound, innate connection, a dialogue between her spirit and the latent energy slumbering within the planet's bones. She could feel the unique resonance of each mineral the steady, grounding pulse of kyber, the vibrant, chaotic shimmer of aetherium, the melancholic hum of ghost-quartz. To her, the very world was a symphony, and she was its most attentive listener.

Her path of understanding was physically etched onto her skin, a living tapestry that defied Mirialan convention. The intricate, green tattoos that coiled up her arms and across her shoulders were not earned for martial prowess or societal milestones. Each one marked a spiritual revelation, a harmonic breakthrough in her communion with the crystalline world. One tattoo, a spiral of interconnected lines, commemorated the day she first harmonized the dissonant frequencies within a fractured crystal, healing it not with tools, but with a focused wave of her own force abilities. Another, a pattern resembling a sonic wave, was earned when she learned to amplify a crystal's natural resonance, causing it to emit a pure, cleansing tone that could shatter negative energy. Her body became a map of her inner journey, a chronicle of moments where she transcended mere understanding and achieved true symbiosis with her gift.

Yet, Mirial, for all its stark beauty, felt like a cradle that had become too small. The planet's traditions, while rich, were rigid, and her unique gift was viewed with a mixture of awe and cautious suspicion. She was a prodigy without a purpose, a musician in a world that had no need for her particular song. Driven by a deep, intuitive yearning, she left her homeworld behind, seeking a place where her gift could be used to its fullest potential, where the symphony she heard within could be composed into something tangible and grand. Her journey led her across the stars, through dusty archives and silent monasteries, until fate guided her to a kindred spirit: the Jedi Forgemaster, Krass.

In Krass, Valeriana found the missing chord in her life's melody. Where she was intuition and harmony, Krass was focus and fire. The Mirialan understood the soul of the crystal; the Jedi understood the framework the technology and Forcecraft into which that soul could be placed. Together, they established a unique forge, not within the roaring heart of a volcano, but in a tranquil chamber of the Celestial Forge, a place where technology and the Force met in perfect equilibrium. Here, Valeriana's role is indispensable. She is the first touch, the diagnostician of weaving energies. She selects the crystals, not just for their power, but for their compatibility, listening to their songs to find the one destined for a specific lightsaber. She then works in concert with Krass, using her harmonic gifts to gently attune the crystal to the Jedi who will wield it, ensuring a bond that is not just functional, but profoundly spiritual.

With Krass as her anchor and partner, Valeriana's future shines with a brilliance that outshines any gem. No longer an outlier, she is a pioneer. She has found a purpose that perfectly marries her deepest instincts with the most noble of causes. Every lightsaber that leaves their forge is a testament to her gift, a perfect fusion of ancient art and living energy. Her optimism is as unshakeable as the crystals she loves; she knows that in this sacred partnership, she is finally home, and her unique song is now an essential part of the Jedi Order's enduring harmony.
