BIOGRAPHY
Oluma Pwathi was born to a pair of Ithorian agricultural aide workers on one of the herdships above the verdant world of Ithor. There, she followed in her family's footsteps, bringing food, medical, and scientific aide to disadvanted worlds around the galaxy, while at the same time studying at home so she could better help these relief efforts. As she grew older, however, she began to see the problems these missions address were often larger and more complex than relief efforts could solve. To really solve the galaxy's many problems, you had to work from the top down just as much as you did from the bottom up.

After graduating agricultural school, Oluma moved into local Ithorian politics, working her way up the ranks from the local to the planetary level. Her skills speaking and organizing, developed as a relief volunteer, helped her eventually gain the office of Senator of Ithor in the Free Worlds Alliance. Finding galactic politics to be much more cutthroat than her own planet's, however, Oluma was slow to make friends and allies in the Senate. Finally, after decades in the Senate and a blatant attack on the free galaxy, Oluma has prepared to take a more active role in galactic politics.
PERSONALITY
Oluma is, in many ways, the Ithorian ideal: a being devoted to peace, cooperation, learning, and the protection of nature. She is polite and cordial with a deep love of conversation and debate with other beings, coupled with being extremely well read and traveled. She has continued to find time for philanthropic and educational efforts, even using her political connections to help in these efforts. She even maintains a large terrarium in her personal ship and garden, simply for personal enjoyment.

At the same time, spending most of her life either in the midst of sentient suffering or galactic politics has made her realize that noble goals are not enough to succeed. While she may seem idealistic on the surface, she isn't entirely above being the dirtier aspects of politics like spying and deception. Still, her dedication to protecting basic ideals of life means unsavory tactics are always her last resort, unless dealing with someone truly repugnant or dangerous.
SKILLS
Oluma is an experienced politician with a deep understanding of the rhetorical, philosophical, and diplomatic aspects of galactic politics. She is a masterful negotiator and public speaker with a remarkable ability to understand and empathize with the positions of others. Her time as a volunteer has also given her skills in management and teaching, having to lead charitable efforts and teach others on agricultural techniques. Speaking of which, degrees in Environmental and Agricultural Science, combined with natural Ithorian talent, have given her a real green thumb. While she can only physically speak Ithorian, she understands Basic and Binary fluently.

In a fight, she would be completely and utterly useless at any range or with any weapon.
