NAME : Seela (which basically means "Dancer" in twi'leki)
FACTION : Seela is an escaped slave
RANK : Seela is a freelance Force apprentice
SPECIES : Twi'lek
AGE : Seela is a young adult, but doesn't know her age
GENDER : Seela is female
HEIGHT : 5'2", which is supposedly tiny, by twi'lek standards
WEIGHT : 125 lbs
FORCE SENSITIVE : yes, trained

APPEARANCE :
Seela's skin is a soft lavender, with a few faint scars. Those are mostly lash marks on her back, a few to her wrists and ankles due to restraints, and artistic scarifications all over her lekkus, in abstract swirling patterns.

By twi'lek standards, Seela is considered very short, at around 5'2", but slave malnutrition often stunts sentient's growth, so by slave standards, her height wouldn't be weird.

Seela could be considered frail, skinny, or slim, depending on who you ask, she just thinks she is average in comparison to her peers.

Finally, Seela has an harmonious face, with high cheekbones, topped by pearlescent eyes. (Yes, she got white-ish eyes!)

ATTRIBUTES :
This twi'lek might be uneducated, but she is very eager to learn. She will grasp any opportunity she can to learn more, on any subject. She is aware of her ignorance, and wishes to change that fact as much as possible. When given the chance to learn, Seela is not exactly gifted, however, she tends to learn quite quickly.
Due to her main occupation, the dancer has quite a mastery of her body, and knows her limits very well. As a slave, she has never really been fed enough, generally just enough to keep her working, so despite all the activity and use her muscles see daily, Seela could still be considered weak, in terms of muscle strenght.
Trust is an unknown concept, just as freedom and safety, or even consent.
Seela has had to learn to live with her PTSD for years, hiding it from her Master and clients.

PERSONALITY :
Contrary to a lot of slaves, who have been "broken" , Seela is no empty shell of herself. She knows, with unnatural certainty, that she is destined for more than life as a slave!
Thanks to her upbringing, Seela knows the importance of discretion, of just obeying orders without even thinking about asking questions, and to make herself as unmemorable as possible. Over the years, one could say she was brainwashed, or conditioned to want nothing more than to please anyone that she perceives as having authority over her, and to do anything to avoid being punished!

BIOGRAPHY :
Born from two unknown slaves, Seela was separated from her parents directly after birth, then given to a reprogrammed nanny droid to be raised as the perfect little servant. Seela started serving as a domestic slave/maid from the young age of eight years old, quickly learning the job, and to make herself scarce unless called upon. When her body started changing, a few years later, her owner saw the potential, and so he sold her on Nal Hutta to be trained as a pleasure slave. When her training was done, she was granted her name, the scarifications on her lekkus, and her first client.
Now, let me tell you, if having her first time with a terrifying Utapaun wasn't traumatic enough, consider the fact that to a twi'lek, the lekkus are basically one incredibly sensitive nerve ending, and any damage to it can have severe consequences on the being's health. I will let you imagine how horrifyingly painful the scarification process was. Seela was then sold to a Hutt clan, where she then worked in a strip club as an exotic dancer (and other services) for a few years, until Grace Zann and Zerath came and freed her, along with her fellow slaves. Roped in this daring humanitarian rescue, was Kyosuke Yamato, who has gone on to take Seela under his wing, for about two months on the forest moon of Endor.
After the young Shadow left, Seela went on to continue training, and exploring the forests on her own, eventually establishing a network of "nests" spanning quite an expansive surface of the moon, taking up a nomadic lifestyle after her first week alone. Starting by following the familiar orbak herd for a few weeks, then broadening her horizons by following whatever critter intrigues her in the moment, trading with ewoks, and sometimes even just following the wind, or the tug of the Force.

SKILLS :
Seela was trained in the pleasure houses of Nal Hutta, which means that she is reasonably well versed in the art of seduction, and that of becoming whoever the client wants, just by reading them. Pretty much like every other trained there. Like the other slaves, she learned to dance and entertain, and above all, to avoid displeasing a master.
She has a good understanding of the huttese language, but doesn't speak it.
She has a rudimentary grasp of twi'leki, as using a language the masters don't talk isn't really wise for a slave.
The Force mostly gives her insight on people surrounding her, and sensing her environment, and to stay alive while eating nowhere near enough to sustain herself.

Force skills :
Sense excellent
Sustenance excellent
Cloak very good
Sight very good
Druidcraft quite good
Animal bond quite good
Heal average
Telekinesis almost average
Mind trick almost average
Barrier basic
Stasis still learning

GEAR :
Pocket stun glowrod
Homing beacon ring
Electrostaff
Shock boxing gloves
Dataphone
Wrist comm
Translator mask
Rebreather
Macrobinoculars
Zip-line pew pew
Pew pew
Bow and arrows
Bladed bo staff
She also wears a metal "Torque" with her owner's name on it. A bit like a dog collar, but instead of tags, the data is etched on the collar itself.

Droid :
Rabbit

ROLEPLAYS :
Not so humble beginnings
Swelling tides
Ripples of a Supernova
A nest in the forest

Update
Skills and stuff
Seela now is almost fluent in ewok, after living for 2 cycles on the forest moon of Endor. She has also picked up hunting, and is now pretty good at forraging on that moon.
Grew herself a bow and arrows using her mastery of Plant Surge, and traded with the ewoks for her bow string and a few metal arrowheads.
Grew herself a "bo" staff, and added a blade on one end.
Over time, she has taken to leaving most of her technological possessions in her nests, usually only keeping her homing beacon ring, wrist comm, and her dataphone on her person while roaming about, for the off chance that Kyosuke Yamato could try to contact or find her.

Appearance
After regularly eating enough and training for two cycles, Seela can no longer be described as frail. Her lekkus have now gained an healty plumpness, her general frame has filled up a bit, though she is still lithe, gaining in muscle definition and mass (a little). Still very much a dancer's build, but with a new almost feline corded strenght and grace added to it.
Seela has taken to wearing headwraps in earthen colors, wrapping up her lekkus and curling them forward and up around her earcones, tying them up to mainly keep them out the way, and to cover her pale lavender skin a bit more, to help her blend in with her surroundings.
Her clothes still being pretty much the same style, but now she wears more browns and greens, again, to help her blend in with the forest.

Psychology
During the last cycle and a half, Seela has been having occasional sessions with Dr. Mila Vanda, working on breaking her slave conditioning/brainwashing, and learning to live with the effects it had on her mental health. Some progress has been done, allowing Seela to function pretty well as a person on a day to day basis, no longer living in constant fear of punishment, and getting used to make decisions herself.
However, being that Seela has had few social encounters with other sentient beings besides the ewok, and mostly living as an hermit, Seela probably hasn't done any significant progress in her ability to function in society.
