Shai's childhood could be described as a rather fantastic one, all things considered. Born on a ship sailing through hyperspace to a pirate for a father and a gun runner for a mother, Shai grew up in a loving environment. Her parents' crew became like family for her and helped her learn all the essentials such as handling a blaster and slicing through security systems. They even managed to steal some handbooks from a miscommunication that caused them to raid a school field trip, giving her a half decent education and understanding. All in all, she had no complaints.
Of course, she wouldn't stay young forever. As she grew up she helped out with raids and also worked as a co-pilot for her mother when smuggling shipments of illegal weaponry. The newer crew members also helped her to fend for herself when they tried to make a move on her. Slowly her parents were grooming her to take over the family business. She knew it and was putting a lot of effort into learning how the criminal sector conducted business. Her grooming also took her to all sorts of interesting planets such as Florrum, Boonta, Nal Hutta, just to name a few.
Sadly things didn't play out as perfectly as they would have hoped. Her father passed away abruptly while doing a hyperspace jump into a star after one too many drinks. For the 20 year old Shai it was devastating to lose one of her role models. At the age of 22 things worsened for her family after her mother was arrested and sentenced to prison on Coruscant. The business folded and the crews were hired by other criminals before she got a chance to salvage the operations.
She was forced to find her feet and figure out how to get to save the family name. Things picked up finally after she won a man's ship over a game of Sabacc. She also borrowed someone's droids without permission to help her man her ship and aid in picking up the company.

Shai could probably considered as something of a wildcard. Having grown up in a family of criminals, there are very few things beneath Shai. She is vulgar and risque, rough around the edges and something of a party animal. She also has a rather short temper and likes to see things go boom. A horrible combination to have. Her greediness can sometimes also make one hell of an opportunist out of her.
Luckily she isn't so bad as far as criminals go. She follows her father's vision and believes that charisma makes for a great weapon. An intimidating presence, a few bright explosions and plenty of survivors to tell the tale is sometimes more effective than wasting ammo to kill everything on a ship in her opinion. She is also not a big fan of killing needlessly and tries to keep collateral damage to a minimum to increase profits. Her comfort in talking adds to her being able to negotiate quite effectively.
On a more personal level, she has a big heart and likes to do things that make her happy. Her sense of humour is broad and her optimistic views help her to stay positive whenever things go south. She is a friendly soul and oftentimes her cackling laugh is genuine in a conversation. At times she can be a hell of a prankster as well, looking for all kinds of ways to joke with people.

Over the years Shai has learned a lot. In combat she is good with a blaster, better with explosives and best behind the controls of a freighter. She is a gutsy pilot and ber borderline stupid bravery allows her to do some borderline stupid things to get out of trouble. Her skills with a blaster is far from fantastic, but she is accurate enough when in a shootout. Her knowledge of explosives is also used often to either get into places or to scare people.
Out of combat she has a plethora of handy tricks up her sleeve. Decent skills in slicing and excellent skills as a mechanic helps her to quickly figure out how to bypass security or sabotage things as well as fix it just as quickly. As a quick learner she also picks up new things easily. A favourite pastime for her is also to cook and bake, an art form she has developed extensively. And while her physical strength is laughable, her speed is pretty impressive.
Unfortunately she isn't perfect. Her diplomacy skills are decent, but her knowledge of the corporate or political world are sorely lacking. Her knowledge of medicine will make any doctor cringe. Her slicing experience, while not bad, is very badly developed and used rarely, causing her to freeze up at times when trying to bypass anything more complex than civilian systems. Her skills with hand-to-hand combat is also mediocre, only comparable to a street or bar fighter.
