Personality and traits
Syrena is very intelligent with a thirst for adventure. She prefers to preserve artifacts and finds. Her dedication is often slightly above the goals of her order but she is always willing to offer an ear for them. She is very talented with weapons mainly swords and shields. This carries over to lightsabers and a vibroshield that can deflect and defend against energy. Her skill with a blaster is minimal she knows where to aim and can be accurate but needs time to aim her shots.

Likes and dislikes
Syrena enjoy the feeling she gets from discovering something ancient. The deserts of Tattooine have many mysteries and don't always give them up easily but she loves the rush. Other things are bringing hope to the people with the truth. She will sometimes be willing to hide the truth if it means the downtrodden have hope.

Syrena dislikes oppression with every fiber of her being. Her life was one of minimal luxury but she always tried to be kind to the less fortunate. Her other dislikes are thief's and robbers people who go after tombs for riches and credits rather then curiosity and purpose..

Strengths and weaknesses
One of Syrena's major strengths is her allure, she doesn't admit it but it is easier to get the proper papers and permits when you show a little cleavage. She also prides herself on independence even though she is parts of the Ophuchi she is usually away with teams uncovering ruins.

Some of her main weaknesses are her lack of practical knowledge. She is very smart but doesn't always get jokes or metaphors. Has a need for things to make logical sense, there are no sky gods they were just people in ships enslaving other races. Sometimes she gets ahead of herself and goes at it alone when exploring. This can lead to her getting lost in old tombs.

Biography
Syrena was born on Coruscant, her family wasn't wealthy more middle class with some benefits. She got mostly everything she wanted and attended the best schools she could but she wanted more. Her area of study she enjoyed was history and it had interested her since she was a little girl. The idea's of being in the ancient times and seeing all the marvels of the galaxy being built. It sparked her interest and carried over into adult hood as she studied at the University of Coruscant to be an archaeologist.

It was not enough, she never had actual digs to go on and the ones the university did were more for sifting through the sand. Syrena wanted more and after she graduated took her degree and trade on the road. She went to private companies to apply for a job. It was miss after miss until a small group welcomed her they were going to N'Zoth and wanted a talent. Syrena had never heard of the world and signed on interested in seeing a new place.

the planet was a desert arid and old. She learned the species of the world were Xenophobic and brutal and that they had to do this without drawing attention. For days they would dig and then cover everything up. The people could not be alerted and this sickened Syrena. She was here helping these thieves steal from the worlds dead not discover history. She was helping grave robbers and one night made her way to the ship after they loaded the stuff. She didn't know what she was going to do but followed rudimentary pilot skills to take the ship to the nearest town. It wasn't good she was almost attacked but made a line of communication, she presented the stuff back to the people and told them where the rest were. She had betrayed them and most likely they were going to be killed but she got away setting a course for home.

When she returned home a letter had arrived for her, there was a dig her professor was doing on another desert planet... Only difference was this one promised a good reason for disturbing the dead. Syrena agreed and headed with her professor to Tattooine, when they arrived she was surprised at what she saw. The Hutts had the people working to the bone and it sickened Syrena to her bones, but they had their job and leading a rebellion on the planet would serve no purpose.

They made it to the dig site and Syrena was introduced to the others who had come along. They were all here to uncover what looked like ruins from before the desert claimed it. They began and made progress slowly sifting though the sands and erecting barriers to keep it out. They broke through into a room after three weeks, it was dark and hard to see but as they lowered themselves into Syrena saw a large statue of a species she didn't know. It had an oval head with eyes protruding from the sides and had a sword and shield. She picked them up and dusted them off seeing the symbol for the Infinite Empire. They spent weeks cataloging and excavating the room with the assortment of weapons and precious stones. It was another week until they were attacked by sand people.

It came fast and was furious, from the desert the Tuskans arrived and began to attack them. Syrena moved to fight back but the gaffe sticks were to much of a blunt object. Syrena thought all hope was lost and then they came. More desert dwellers to protect them, in a flash of blades and skill she heard the sand people depart or get sliced down. It was over quickly she thought but in realy it had been thirty minutes of fighting, Syrena was taken to their camp and patched up. Slowly as she came to talk with them she understood. They were called the Ophuchi and weren't a rival clan of the sand people. They were here for another purpose and could use here help. What could she say? They had saved her life and Syrena joined being able to ply her trade but also learn combat skills. She learned why their leader Elias let her stay, she was a descendant of the Bendu jedi same as the rest. It filled Syrena with a little pride she was kind of special if only a little.

For three years she trained with them learning how to use a blade and a blaster, it wasn't perfect and her skill was raw but lessons for fencing when she was little helped her with the blade. A shield she fashioned from old artifacts and prepared herself too use. It was potentially good at deflecting gaffe stick strikes. She also got a little reputation for her talents as an archaeologist and was put in charge of several digs but nothing to major. These people had a goal and she would support that but hey a girls got to use her skills some way.

Perfect!

I would add in that Elias, the Ophuchi leader, sensed that she was a descendent of the Jedi Bendu, and that was why she was allowed to stay.

Well done Syn! The historian in me savored every bit of her bio. I can't wait to read her in action.
