Distinguishing Marks: Has a few scars along her body usually covered by clothing.
Force Sensitive: Yes
Strength: 4/10 - She doesn't pack much of raw strength being so small and light, relies on her speed.
Dexterity: 8/10 - Due to her small frame and natural ability for speed she is faster then most, though this rarely will give her an upper hand on practically anyone with training, but can be quite advantageous against blaster wielding foes.
Constitution: 6/10 - Built up a better resistance to pain while growing up due to the harsh training her father drug her through.

Charisma: 4/10 - Not very good at talking, and especially due to her less then average skill with the force lends her to be unable to manipulate most.
Personality:
Sam is not very good at expressing her feelings or talking for that matter, resulting in mumbles and grunts to those she knows. She has great respect for any good hearted person, and speaks so when adressed by one. She has very few friends and those she has are mostly colleagues. She visibly walks with a weight on her shoulders and the only time she talks clearly is when she talks with purpose, a 'be silent and unseen' preference being hammered into her at very young.
Biography:
Sam, or 'Little Bird' as she was called growing up, was born with six other siblings with a relatively weak force sensitive mother and a Sith for a father. While her father was relatively unknown on a galatic scale, his only accomplishment and feat known to the galaxy was the experiment he performed on his children. From the moment they were born the Sparrow children were marked for either great things or death, there was no inbetween with him. His experiment was to see how effective he could mold those weak in the force into machines to kill, and of course being the 'runt of the litter'; Sam was the smallest and weakest. Only three out of the six were kept from becoming a sith for his experiment, including Sam. Her father was a spiteful and evil man, and her mother was more of a trophy wife to the sith who made it his life to serve the dark side. Her mother after crossing the age threshold of being unable to further reproduce was killed by him in an attempt to fuel the rage of his experiments and hopefully push them to have a greater connection; It worked on everyone but Sam, who while even feeling angry and resentful, did not grow closer to the force in any sense. There was an unmistakable and unshakeable will inside Sam from a very early age, whether the resilience carried from her father or someone else along her family line, it was what helped her turn from the dark side all those years and resist the anger and temptation of murder. The experiment and her birthplace was a planet in the outer rim that consisted of mostly arid desert, which her father deemed suitable for the experiment. She was never told of the planet's name or where exactly it was, and by the time she escaped she didn't really care.
From the age of four, Sam was forced into a life of completely ruthless and brutal training barely fit for anyone her age. While the others progressed as slowly as she did at first, by the time she was ten they had mastered abilities she was struggling with; Even from early on it was clear that Sam's connection to the force, while enough to make her a warrior, was weak. The only thing she excelled at in the 'studies' was saber combat, and to this day she is unsure if thats because of a natural talent or rather a need to defend herself from her father, as he was the only one who sparred with her. He taught her the basic form and it took her years to be able to confidently use it, but by now she had multiple scars from punishment as her failures. Her siblings had gone on and join the sith, she remembered a certain day where someone came and gave him a gift for an experiment gone right. Sam was only 14 when her father began pushing harder and harder, discovering new ways of punishment for the failures he saw out of her. Now through a friend in the Sith he played with her mind, trying to push her to become better with the force and the use of it to affect her surroundings. She only was able to master light telekenisis before her departure from the planet, which came shortly after her 17th birthday. Sam was finally allowed to make her own saber, but to the furious disappointment to her father, the color she chose was a light blue. She was forbid to ever use it and it was kept away for a short time.
A few days after her birthday, her father who was growing old and psychotic at this point, was running out of ways to break her mind and spirit. She still doesn't like to think about it; One fateful day of force training, and she became so blinded by his taunting and his rage pouring into her that she murdered him with his own lightsaber through manipulating it with the force. As he died, so did all the anger inside of her that had been boiling up for the past few years, and replaced by confusion and sorrow. While there wasn't much civilization to speak of on the planet, she took his lightsaber along with her's and fled to a small trading outpost a few miles from her home. She was able to sell the small home that her father owned for a ship ride off the planet. It didn't take long for her to end up at the Jedi's mobile fleet in hoping that she would find redemption of some kind for her actions, through meeting a Jedi on her travels that could sense her potential.
Force Powers:
Telekenisis of light objects, mind tricks on weaker minded individuals.
Skills:
Adept at the Shii-Cho and can do a dead sprint for 30 minutes, her stamina being above average.
Lightsaber Forms:
Shii-Cho
Strengths and Weaknesses:
Strengths: Speed - She's extremely fast due to her small frame in both movement and her fighting
Endurance - She has grown a tolerance to pain due to her upbringing, and able to go on for a long time.
Weaknesses: Self-Doubt - Sam has been raised with an inability to ever feel confident in her abilities, and it affects her fighting and her connection to the force, terrifying her that she's more like her father then a Jedi.
Small Size - Both a gift and a curse, she's extremely easy to throw around and handle with average strength.
Difficulty manipulating The Force - While she has a basic understanding of it and can fight as well as most padawans, she has trouble connecting and controlling the force in a
larger then small objects and weak minded people. This has her relying more on her instincts and saber combat.
Weak Strength - Unable to handle herself in hand-to-hand combat and overly strong opponets, requires her to fight defensively against most lightsaber wielders.
Gear:
Her own Lightsaber.
Appearance:
Sam stands at a small height and with not much on her other then lean muscle, she looks rather harmless at first glance. Her bright blue eyes carry a certain weight to them, and her body language seems to be she is always on alert. Her body is toned though her clothes cover most of her body. She wears an all black skin tight ensemble, her tunic goes up to her neck. While she knows most would think her a sith at first glance, she feels confident in her choice of color.
