PERSONALITY:
Shaska is a crafty character who acts innocent. She knows the power of pretending to be ignorant and she uses it. She is sly and and manipulative, and will use it to get whatever she wants from you. She is loyal though, but mostly to Tiberius Kopeli, and is eager to please him. She gets easily jealous when his attention is on someone else. She is kind though, and looks after children and animals in need.

She is also very humbled by her experiences and is extremely pleased by trivial joys others might take advantage of. Overall, she is a feisty girl with a good heart.

HISTORY:
Born into Coruscant by a prostitute, Shaska was given to the first orphanage her mother could find. It is only thanks to the older children and sheer will to survive that she is alive. The owners of the orphanage were often drunk and would beat the children. The older children would have to take turns laying over Shaska and protecting her from the blows. They did this until she was old enough to take them herself. It wasn't cruelty, but their own survival.

Shaska was ten when the owner of the orphanage decided to put out his cigar on his shoulder. She did not cry out though, she looked into his glazed, malicious eyes, spat directly into his face, and ran. She couldn't take it anymore and if she stayed she would end up like her mother, selling her body for a scrap of rotten food. Instead, she took to the streets like an animal, prowling through dumpsters. She made herself a makeshift room in one and there she stayed. Another old ragabond named Jamesk, found her there and took pity and taught her how to pickpocket.

For eight years, they worked together, sometimes her pretty face caught attention and she would distract the man while Jamesk stole from them. Soon she learned she could speak in one tone of voice and it would make people give her money directly. Soon Jamesk and Shaska had enough money to get a one room apartment. Jamesk was like a father to her, but he was old and had been so long out on the streets, he was very sick. It wasn't long before he passed away. Shaska spent all their savings on a proper funeral for him, and found herself out on the streets once more.

It was a rainy day and she was cold and hungry. She needed food and warmth, so she pickpocketed the first man she came across. But she was so desperate she wasn't careful and he grabbed hold of her. She tried to fight, but he had a good hold. She could already see by the look in his eye what was about to happen. And that's when he came, Tiberius Kopeli.

"Close your eyes." He told her, she did and felt the man let go. Swish.. There was a rustle of movement, the sound of something being dragged away.

"Open them." And there was her hero, standing there watching her. Her eyes filled with tears and she didn't know why. She had never been afraid like that before and now the hunger was back and she felt so weak... so very weak.. She fainted and awoke in a bed with food next to her. He had saved and fed her. She was in his debt, and even more so when he asked how she would like to be his assistant. She knew then she would do anything for him.
