About Vala
Vala was born into the large and diverse Darakis Family during the Force Eternal Timeline. Her side of the family had at some point intermaried with a group of Mandalorians and some of her family still honored the old traditoins even though others in her family did not.
Her father and mother were both among those who did. They had crafted their own armor, as their parents had taught them and their parents before that. They had learned how to fight like Mandalorians and they taught all of this to their dear little Vala and her siblings. Even though they were generally living a mostly normal life they valued the old traditions and together with a few others inside and outside of their family and they kept them alive.

Apart from all this Vala grew up more or less normal on Coruscant, went to school and got an education. Of course she learned things from her parents that other children were not taught. How to fight, with bare hands and with weapons. How to use a whipcord launcher and catch someone with it, how to wear a helmet and not stumble, how to move in the shadows and remain unseen, how to wear armor and not make a terrible noise, how to use a jetpack and not break your neck.

The Darakis Family was rather large and this was a fact that she enjoyed immensely. She had many aunts, uncles and cousins. There were always other children to play with and to get into trouble with. In her youth getting into fights with either children for other families or her cousins was the norm and something she enjoyed as a wild whirlwind of a kid. Even at a time when most of the boys had outgrown her and were stronger than her, she never backed down from a fight. Her brothers would try and protect her from her own zeal but she always tried to prove herself to them and everyone else. So to achieve this she learned to be fast, faster than the boys, as to not get hit. Since she could not hit as hard as the boys she learned where to hit as to cause the most pain and damage. Using her opponents momentum against them was one of her favorite moves.

She learned to be very careful. One of her deepest instinct became to be cautious, tactical even and later to think in long term strategies. To take her time, to plan ahead. Later in life she learned to use the advantage of ranged weapons like blasters to her benefit. She relies on her wit and skill with all manner of ranged weapons to keep her enemy at a safe distance.

But of course, the call of and the voice of Mandalor does not allow one born to the Mandalorian way of life to stay safe forever. Like any true child of Mandalor she hears the call to arms, to battle in her heart. She wants to join with and fight alongside her Mandalorian brothers and sisters, to lead her people to a future that is worthy of their glorious past.

So to learn more about her culture and to further hone her skills she left Coruscant at the young age of 18. Always searching for opportunities to grow in the wide Galaxy. Over the years she joined forces with everyone, from bounty hunters to mercenaries to smugglers and soldier of fortune types.
Finally she has found her way to Mandalore. Finally with others of her kind she at long last felt at home.
