BIOGRAPHY
Oddi Xon was born on Zolan in a shanty on the outskirts of a city on the desert continent of Sulturian. She is the youngest of thirteen siblings and also the most overlooked of the lot. Her family’s negligence of her pushed her to fend for herself even as a child. They hardly batted an eye when she ran away for the inner city at the age of nine. She learned quickly how to tug on an adult’s heartstrings and managed to con her way into a free meal or two, but soon it wasn’t enough.
One evening she managed to squirm into a food factory to feed upon the discarded scraps when a supervisor spotted her, chased her down, and turned her over to management. Referring to her as common street vermin, the lead manager decided to make an example of her to show others what happens to thieves that steal from his factory. He had her brought to the broiler room to be tossed into the furnace. She managed to squirm out of their grip as they tried to throw her in, but her clothes caught fire in the process. By the time she put herself out she had a large third-degree burn from her right shoulder to her elbow. She managed to escape off of the property and took back to the streets as a burnt and ragged mess.
The next morning a seemingly kind Clawdite spotted her on the street and offered her hospitality in order to tend to her wounds, and who was she to pass up such an offer? After several days she felt much better, but then was caught off guard when she was presented with an outrageously expensive bill for services! They told her that she had to work as means of repayment or they would have her arrested, and before she knew it she was knee-deep in a city-wide fencing operation. She remained trapped in a vicious cycle for six years, but in that time, she learned the skills of thievery, trickery, and tinkering with mechanical devices as well as electronics to prep items for sale. She was taught how to read as well so that she could follow specific written orders. And when not being extorted for her services she learned how to play games of chance with the other slaves. She even salvaged an old kloo horn and made it playable once more. This became her most valued possession as she taught herself how to play as best as she could.
She made the best of her situation, but all the while she sought opportunities for an escape from this enslavement. And then, one day, she saw her chance when an offworlder came calling…a human…seeking black market goods. She was assigned to tweak up any equipment that he showed any interest in buying. Before appearing before him, she shifted herself just enough to make herself seem being more emaciated and dehydrated than she actually was. She asked him questions about where he was from and where he was going. When he stated that he was returning to Coruscant, she told him how she had always wanted to go there! *Weak cough* (Which wasn’t true since she had only heard of it just then.) Then she looked upon him with big, innocent amber eyes full of wonder, only to let them reflect sadness when she told him, “but my owners will never let me leave this place. *Cough cough*”
One slave purchase later (along with all sorts of weaponry and tech), Oddi was on her way off planet. She was still a slave and did any task that her new owner put her to but at least she was on her way to new and interesting places. Problem was, when they finally landed on Coruscant her owner keeled over from a heart attack right on the landing platform. Or…was it a problem? Did anyone have to know that she was a slave??? Could this be any more convenient??? Before anyone else saw her, she snatched a DH-7 pistol and morphed into the guise of a human child. She walked down the platform and started crying when the police and paramedics arrived, claiming that the man had rescued her from a disabled escape pod that had ejected before pirates blew up her family’s ship and the only thing she managed to take with her was her kloo horn. Believing her sob story, the authorities brought her to an orphanage, but it didn’t take long for Oddi to learn that she simply couldn’t stay. She had a taste of adventure and needed more, so she managed to sneak away one night and took to the streets of Coruscant. She was on a new world and she was ready to start her new life…she simply needed to find an open door to walk through.

APPEARANCE
When in natural form - Very short for her age (dwarfism), reptilian, olive-brown skin, amber cat-like eyes, stubby nose and large cheekbones. Has a rippling scar on her right shoulder from being burned several years ago. More recently, she received a blaster shot to the left shoulder, and now has scarring there as well. (Will likely only grow another inch in her lifetime.)
ATTRIBUTES
Strengths - Oddi Xon is quick, dexterous, and stealthy. She is able to handle tools deftly, pick pockets, and squeeze into tight places. She is intelligent and gifted in the ways of electronics, mechanics and music. She is also clever, witty, and a bit manipulative...a budding thief and con-artist. She is full of short bursts of energy. She has compassion for the downtrodden and tends to save her chicanery for either times of self-preservation or if she feels that the fool somehow deserves it.
Weaknesses - Her short stature and lithely figure puts her at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to strength. (A Wookiee would hardly notice her if she bumped into their leg.) Her short legs guarantee that she will tire quickly when running, so her stamina leaves something to be desired. Although she has charm, most see her as a child and because of this she is not taken seriously at times. She can be impulsive and stubborn and tends to get herself in trouble. It should be noted that she has a moderate fear of fire, having been burned and scarred when she was younger.
Oddi is currently in the process of discovering her Force abilities, although they are still very low level. This may change if she finds a teacher soon.

PERSONALITY
Oddi is inexperienced and fresh off of her home planet. She is naive in the ways of other cultures and the galaxy in general…but she is now starting to make an effort to learn about such things. She tries to put on a front of being capable and sure of her talents, overcompensating for her short stature and lack of experience. (She is a little sensitive about her height.) Her youthful appearance also puts her at a disadvantage since she is less likely to be taken seriously, which she sometimes uses against others. She is impulsive, mouthy, and is learning now that her cleverness can’t get her out of everything (thanks to being shot). It should be noted that she can be quite reckless, despite her fears.
Oddi is quite clever for her age, but doesn’t understand that some of her tricks are immature and quite transparent to adults. Looking like a child, however, can sometimes mean that you can get away with things that most adults never would. Knowing this, she exploits her cuteness to the fullest degree. Despite her shifty lifestyle, Oddi has a developing streak of compassion and is willing to help out another if they appear to be in a bad spot (within reason). She has only just begun to make friends, and has been putting aside her old habits of a self-preservationist. Since discovering her connection to the Force, she has a newfound thirst for knowledge and learning, and is now determined to discover more about this great galaxy and the force that binds it all together.
