Background
Serrana has had a lot of luck packed into the scant sixteen years of the Twi'lek's life to date. Not all of it was good. Certainly it was bad luck that a well armed and dissatisfied customer caught up with her parents -- it seemed like they wanted her father to try and make an illegal delivery while a customs squad was still there on Nar Shadaa; it was good luck that she was in the cockpit when they were killed, and so flew off with their transport using the skills she'd learned at her mother's knee (both of her parents being quite successful smugglers up to that point). If any creditors wanted the ship, well, they never asked her about it. Though this might be because she never checked her parents mail, and kept to the outer rim. Sure that smuggling had done her parents in, she stuck to transporting passengers discretely in the outer rim, where they didn't bother with pesky things like 'commercial spacers licenses' or 'transport union membership cards' or 'starship registrations'.

And after surviving for nearly a year doing that -- and there were more than a few close calls -- her passengers were a Jedi knight and some of her padawan learners. Who didn't realize until after they'd left orbit that they'd hired a fourteen-year-old Twi'lek girl as their transportation. But the Jedi did very quickly realize that Serrana was force sensitive herself -- which probably had a lot to do with why she hadn't been killed.

In the last few years she's learned from Nomi Sunrider how to master her innate gifts with the Force, and applied her mechanical talent to constructing the Jedi's traditional lightsaber -- though, truly told, if fighting started, she still preferred a blaster in her hand, or better yet, her hands on the controls of a starship.

Despite losing her parents a few years ago and growing up a smuggler's daughter, she's friendly, cheerful, and possibly just a bit naive. She tends to walk into situations and expect to be able to improvise her way through -- and it works for her (above average intelligence, high charisma, and the Force making up for low wisdom).

Appearance

Serrana is a short, 'cute', young blue-skinned Twi'lek; she looks rather like Mission Vao (who may be a collateral decendant of hers). The Female Twi'lek Jedi Knight on page 218 of the rulebook is about what she wants to be when she grows up (since, IIRC, that used to be the Jedi Ace picture ).

213 things Serrana can't do in the Jedi Order

1. Sith Acolytes will not join the Light Side for paid vacation and a better dental plan. It is wrong to attempt this in training exercises.
2. New Padawans do not have to sleep outside until they can open their room door with the Force. It is wrong to hack the locks to create the impression that this is true.
3. Refering to the Sith Lord in the simulation as 'Mr. Wrinkly-Face' will not make it any easier to defeat him.
4. Jedi Knights are rarely authorized to use high explosives. Padawans never are.
5. 'Peace through superior firepower' is not part of the Jedi Code.
6. Although you should follow Master Sunrinder's instructions absolutely, she does not require you to refer to her as 'Mistress and God'.
7. Although reprogramming the simulators does demonstrate some technical prowess, it will not improve your proficiency with a lightsaber.
8. Customs inspectors are not intrinsicly linked to the Dark Side of the Force. No matter what your parents told you.
9. Sneaking off to the cantina with your fellow Padawans is not 'searching your feelings through the Force'. Especially when you're under the legal drinking age.
10. Constructing a lightsaber is a deep, meditative process where a Jedi learns as much about herself as she does about the weapon she builds. Thefore, after completing your own, knocking off a few others from spare parts and trying to sell them for spare credits is frowned upon.

11. A lightsaber is an elegant weapon, with many unique capabilities. It is not a 'stinking short-range glow stick'.
12. Attempting to initiate telepathic contact with members of an interplanetary crime syndicate is not a good way to test my control of the Force. No matter how nice they were to me when I was a kid.
13. Twi'lek dancing girl constumes do not have any impact on holographic simulated enemy soldiers. Even if your mother said they had plenty of impact on real ones.
14. Programming training droids to do traditional Twi'lek dances is another excellent demonstration of technical skill. However, this also will not improve your skill with a lightsaber.
15. Full throttle is not the proper cruising setting for a luxury yacht.
16. Nor a space transport.
17. Nor even a starfighter.
18. My title is 'Padawan Vao'. It is not 'Blue Lady of the Light'.
19. Civillian vehicles may not be requisitioned in training exercises. No matter how cool that new landspeeder model is.
20. May not use the Force to pick pockets. May not use sleight of hand either.
