Personality
​

Nora was raised outside the brutalities of war. To most she will come across as wide eyed and naïve as she is easily amused by the many wonders and mysteries that have yet to be explored. Nora is charismatic and personable, though doesn’t seem to bother with much with speaking as she is more prone to just doing. She may enjoy meeting new people and gaining friends and allies, however, she is reserved in sharing personal details.

She can be described as confident and courageous, though in combination of jumping into action, she can be prone to recklessness. Nora is hard on herself when criticized and often come across as dismissive when critiqued, her pride may come first which can get her into trouble. Her Master described her as strong willed as she would push her own limitations to accomplish what she wants.

Biography
​

The disturbance brought her back home. Everything was just as she last saw it, though there was no sign of anyone, even the insects and the birds were silent. The air was cold and there was a darkness that seemed to weigh the rising sun. Home was supposed to be safe.

The end has not come…​

Nora never knew her real parents, she was raised by a Jedi Knight, whom Nora affectionately called Papa. He loved her just as his own and raised Nora as his daughter and his Jedi apprentice. Nora understood from a young age that they were different from others in the village. Besides being tucked away in the Outer Rim, they also lived very isolated lives. Secrecy and discretion were valued and Nora was taught it was to keep them safe in a chaotic galaxy. Distrust kept the Knight weary, though as Nora grew older and seeing her happiness with others, her Knight caregiver became more relaxed, eventually taking up different roles within the village.

You have everything you need…​

Her first lessons of the Force begun with her abilities of tracking and hunting. They followed unwanted beasts who scarred livestock or harassed farmers, using their senses to lead them to the source. Nora was taught the importance of the Force’s guidance, listening and feeling for the right choice to make. Though it wasn’t without consequence as Nora was taught early about life and death and the cruelty of man and beast. She learned the galaxy would not be a forgiving place, but she could forgive and it would be all that matter.

Nora was taught how to defend herself with a blaster and favored a quarterstaff against the Knight’s expertise in lightsaber combat. The power of the Force was limitless at Nora’s fingertips, however, with the current state of the galaxy, Nora was also taught to defend herself without its power to avoid detection. Even with the Light’s strength, the dark side of the Force was a heavy shadow and as Nora grew, so did her vigilance and understanding on how to confront its temptations.

You are ready…​

Nora’s training intensified into her teens, the war that swept through most of the galaxy was nearing the footsteps of their homeworld. The pull to move further from home grew stronger as she became older, the Force called for her to help in places she had never seen. She begun to pick up jobs in neighboring systems, earning credits while utilizing her skills just under the nose of the Exile armies. She never questioned her Papa’s decision not to join the other Jedi and fight the Exiles, but knew their battle against the darkness would come soon enough. On her 18th birthday, Nora was gifted with the title of Knight and encouraged to follow where the Force would guide her.

I am ready…​

Home was no longer safe as the darkness grew stronger, heavy, yet familiar in an unnatural sense. It kept her pressed into the earthen floor until like a bell chime, she heard her name, shattering her into start dust as she drifted helplessly into the shadows grasp.

…one year later…​

Skills & Gear
​

Hand-to-Hand Combat: Even without a weapon, Nora is able to defend herself…while subtly using the Force to give her the upper hand.

Hobbies: Nora had found an inner peace by tending to her Master’s garden growing up. While tending, she had learned about various plants and the creatures who preferred them. In addition to gardening, Nora enjoys working with her hands and is talented in carving small animals or figures from wood.

Lightsaber Combat: The Jedi had trained in lightsaber combat since she was a young child. She had started with the basics before moving on to more advanced and complex maneuvers in her practice. Nora favors the quarterstaff and while adopting the basics of lightsaber combat, had incorporated inspirations from the movement of water.

Gear: Nora carries only what she needs. Her utility belt holds her blaster, commlink, and a durasteel knife. She may also carry some candy pieces or jerky on her also. Nora's lightsaber can attach to a rod, which creates a streamlined staff to hide her Jedi origins from others. It can be released with the twist lock mechanism to create two additional weapons.
