BIOGRAPHY
Vayla was born on Pantora. Her parents were farmers over the Mirana homestead, located miles away from the capital city. Life on the farm demanded constant work, and Vayla contributed to it along with her siblings.
Her sister, older and determined to find her own way, eventually left home for the capital to pursue a career in government. Vayla's sister helped her come to understand Pantoran politics and the galaxy at large, and nurtured a deal of sympathy in the girl.
She realized that being stuck on the moon would do nothing to quench her thirst to know more about the stars and the worlds all around her own, and to use that knowledge to help heal a hurting galaxy, not just one moon.
It was through her sister that Vayla was introduced to a visitor on Pantora, a Jedi diplomat, who took the girl under his apprenticeship. The two left Pantora to venture beyond, Vayla's master prioritizing the training of sciences, arts and diplomacy alongside combat, as far as the latter was needed to survive.
A close bond was formed between master and apprentice, until that bond was broken when Vayla's master was captured. Freed from captivity, he was not the same person. Vayla never saw him again.
Yet, though the experience troubled her, she did not become disillusioned with the galaxy or the Jedi Order. Instead, Vayla fought even harder to fulfill her commitments and was ultimately granted her knighthood.
To this day, she seeks to uphold the Jedi creed, traveling around to satisfy her curiosities and assisting where she can. All the while, she strives to defeat her greatest enemy: fear.
Her master had taught her about the emotion intimately. Thus, outside of a peaceful spirit that seeks serenity, Vayla never forsakes her lightsaber and her drive to not only defend others but herself, ever aware that darkness was waiting right outside the light, especially for a Jedi.

PERSONALITY
Vayla is adventurous, ready and willing to explore ruins in search of artifacts, by herself or in a group, and is just as comfortable reading a book alone at home. She is outgoing, energetic and enthusiastic yet calm and composed. She appreciates a good laugh and dance while being respectful and dignified toward others, and is not shy about protecting those in need, either with words or saber.
Naturally curious, her desire to find and to know can sometimes get the better of her, a truth that her master took pains to warn her about and help her understand. In the end, Vayla's personal strengths may also be her very weaknesses depending on how far she goes to discover and uncover.
