II // APPEARANCE

Vira is strikingly beautiful in the way that makes people slightly uncomfortable. Long-legged and athletic, with the naturally powerful musculature characteristic of an Atoan. She's deceptively strong, not bulky. Feathered locks of brunette usually fall past her shoulders or in an elegant pinned style. She has sharp, wheat/amber eyes. High Cheekbones, full lips, immaculate nails, and a tiny scar through her left eyebrow from a childhood fencing accident.​

​

Her clothing style includes always the latest fashion such as tailored jackets, silk blouses, expensive shoes, minimal jewelry, and one conspicuously old Atoan signet ring. She favors black, wine red, ivory, deep browns, blacks, and gold colors.​

​

She wants people to understand that she could afford extravagance and chooses when she needs it.​

​

III // CHARACTER

Vira is confident, ambitious, intelligent, territorial, and deeply controlled. She has the energy of someone who walked into a room at 21 and realized everyone else was incompetent. Vira loves when people underestimate her. She weaponizes politeness. When she says, "That's an interesting suggestion." Someone is about to lose their job. She has a fantastic memory (almost photographic) and can recall every employee she's ever met, their family members, preferred drink order, etc.​

​

Vira is exceptional at:​

• Negotiation
• Logistics
• Contract law
• Financial strategy
• Reading people
• Long-term planning
• Crisis management
• Corporate politics
• Smuggling detection
• Resource allocation
• Physical ability; due to her species she has higher than average human strength and endurance. She's an excellent fencer, excels at hand-to-hand combat and self-defense.

​

Vira struggles with:​

• Sweet tooth - especially Atoan pastries
• Sitting with her back to a door
• Being around incompetence
• A terrible shot (even worse than her brother, though she'll never admit it)
• Control freak - can't delegate well
• Emotional repression - too good at controlling her emotions
• Soft spot for her family (especially little bro)
• Blood loss - her Atoan physiology makes major blood loss particularly dangerous. (She therefore carries emergency medical equipment and is obsessive about trauma preparedness.)
  

IV // HOUSE & COMMERCE

Vira is the eldest child of Kalo and Nemi Halor and the recognised heir to House Halor. She has been prepared more directly for stewardship of the family and has become increasingly involved in Halor Mercantile.​

​

​

V // HISTORY

Vira Halor grew-up privileged on Atoan. The first born to Kalo and Nemi Halor. With a younger brother, Tavo. Vira is set to inherit the family's shipping fortune and company. The weight of responsibility of an heiress, noblewoman, and future CEO was set heavily upon her shoulders the moment she was born. There were high expectations to follow within the family's footsteps and conduct herself appropriately. Surprisingly, her brother was not envious. Though, Vira sometimes wished he was jealous because she feels responsible for him. Even though she knows he doesn't need her protection. She gives it anyways.​

​

Their mother was religious. Until she met their father. Vira is not of the 29 gods/goddesses faith. But she puts on appearances when needed. Keeping a pendant representing the group of dieties in her pocket. Sometimes she is seen to rub it for good luck before entering a particularly important board meeting. She can wear many masks, when the occasion calls for it. And all for the benefit of her company or the work she is doing.​

​

Growing up, she saw the same combat instructor as her brother. Had the same tutors and access to the greatest resources available. Wanting to see more of the galaxy, she opted to go to Theed University, where she met Tycho Irogane and Aurelian Veruna . Sharing a love for business, she decided to join Tycho's company, opting to take an interesting role, one her parents didn't understand. Vira keeps her cards close to her chest. And has reasons as to why she's in an assistant position. At least it keeps her in the same vicinity as her brother.​
