[SIZE=18pt]BACKSTORY[/SIZE]
Yiu’s mother, Jiuna Amarii, was raised in the Jedi Order. As a Padawan, she failed her trials and was barred from becoming a Jedi Knight. Resentful of the Order and struggling with feelings of shame and anger, she found herself becoming increasingly drawn to the dark side. Fearful of these negative feelings, Jiuna decided to give up her use of the Force and resolved to escape from the political and military chaos that engulfed the "civilized" areas of the galaxy. She settled on Jelucan and began a new life for herself, finding work as a farm hand and eventually falling in love with and marrying her employer, Ithan Enra.
Yiu’s father died when she was very young, leaving her to work the farm with her mother. In her spare time, Yiu tinkered with the old droids and vehicles in her possession, learning how to repair and enhance them, and even rebuilt ones that was deemed broken and unusable. She was also very athletic, and enjoyed practicing gymnastics and refining her self-defense skills.
When Yiu was sixteen, war came to Jelucan, and their homestead was destroyed. She and her mother were forced to relocate to the city out of financial necessity. Their living situation was less than ideal; every day there were several outbreaks of shootings, disappearances, and murders. Seeking relief from their ever-growing poverty, Yiu turned to the black market, selling smuggled weapons and contraband. A few near-death experiences in the beginning notwithstanding, she adapted quickly to her trade, and became well-known around her part of town by her alias, “Mala.”
While Yiu was away dealing in contraband, her mother dealt scraps and sold droids and machinery that Yiu repaired out of their home. One night while Yiu was away, a mysterious force user – who, unbeknownst to Yiu, was Jiuna’s former master gone dark -- broke into their home, with the intention of killing Jiuna and, if there were any, her children. Unpracticed for many years, Jiuna was easily overpowered. Yiu returned home the next morning to find her mother dead, dismembered by a lightsaber cut through her abdomen.
Although her mother’s death shocked her deeply, Yiu knew that she couldn’t stay there for long. After burying her mother’s body, Yiu took the money they had saved, as well as any salvageable parts and scrap metals, and fled to a nearby city, where she lived undercover for several weeks until she was able to sell everything and secure a ride off-planet to Lothal.
Yiu lived on Lothal for several years, scraping out a living as a mechanic-for-hire and a scraps dealer. With the encroachment of the First Order into the planet’s surrounding area, smuggled weapons flourished in the black market, and the easy credits lured Yiu back into the trade. Besides the money, it gives Yiu a modicum of comfort to have so many weapons, and so much knowledge of them, at her disposal – it’s only a matter of time, she reasons, until war breaks out on her planet.
