Okay, I pretty much have Skyka finished* here are the highlights...
Note: I also wrote her opinion of Aerek but I didn't include it until after I talked to drothgery about it. Same also goes for Bud'd, whom I've also spoken to deadestdai, about character relationships. (as the personality section shows.) Andrew, it's certainly nothing personally and if you want to give each other clues on how are character relationship has been for the last few years I'm all for it.
* I reserve the right to look at skill points in the morning... Some force powers will be going bye bye to make room for the tumble skill... Something that I see as being very much in Skyka's nature.
Appearance
Standing at 1.6 meters Skyka would never be accused as being a physically imposing figure nor gifted with an abundance of physical strength and having been born on a low gravity planet didn’t help matters. Skyka is best described as being slight, though less diplomatic would probably say she is frail, but she doesn’t try to change this instead she simply accept her lack of strength and focuses her training upon making her lithe body as agile and nimble as it can possible be. To help offset her lack of physical strength Skyka has even gone so far as to learn a technique to wield two lightsabers at the same time.
While her slight build might allow others to lose Skyka in a crowd her most unique feature, her pure white hair and a symbol of her heritage and ability to mimic the force, draws them in. To a Sentarrii their hair represents who they are and were they come from, to be marked with white hair is a great honor and one that Skyka values. Because of this she wears her hair in very traditional Sentarrii ways, which for a woman with no lifelong mate is pulled uncut, up, and braided as its a great taboo in her society for an unwed woman to be seen with her hair down. (It’s comparable to being seen naked.)
With her face framed perfectly, if not slightly exotically, by her braided white hair one is hard pressed not to notice Skyka’s pale ice blue eyes. To some her azure eyes are cold, a opinion fueled by her guarded and wary demeanor, while others see her pale blue eyes, pale skin and her white hair as an exotic creature capable of great beauty if she would only smile more, which is something she’s not in a habit of doing.
Not much for fashion Skyka prefers to wear simple styled clothes of dark colors, almost always in forestesque colors of various browns and greens, with her typical clothes being a tight fitting dark green jumper and am open light muddy brown cloak over the jumper. Her lightsabers and other equipment hang out of sight but within easy reach.
Personality Alot has happened to Skyka during her 18 years, robbed of her childhood by tradition and a Sith invasion a young child with little concerns went from floating rocks to a leader gravely and direly concerned with finding food for her people, protecting them becoming nothing more than the next victim of the Sith’s slave collars, watching friend after friend die, and of course trying to drive the Sith from her homeland in a seemingly unending and unwinnable fight has left her serious, professional, and nearly humorless.
With her serious and humorless nature most mistake Skyka as being cold, calculating, and heartless but to those who know her realize that she subconsciously tries to avoid making friends and having them come to harm… Though this type of behavior usually produces someone who’s sense of loyalty is lacking its actually quite the opposite with Skyka whom is furiously loyal to her friends and unable to accept the thought of leaving a friend high and dry. Though it would seems that Skyka wants few, if any, friends the truth is that she does and that no one who shows the desire, the patience, and understanding will quickly find themselves with a fiercely loyal friend.
Though she would do anything for her friends Skyka remains a very quite and slightly withdrawn individual. She suffers, nearly nightly, from nightmares that are a constant reminder of what happened on Rollan yet she tells know one of them, and only her bunkmate, Bud'd Dwelve, knows of her nightly terrors. (At least as far as Skyka knows, few secrets are left uncovered upon a ship the twice the size of the Ossus Talon, yet alone a ship of it’s size.
As for her master, Nolem Kanas, Skyka has nothing but the almost respect for him as he was a major contributor to her peoples reclaimed freedom. Skyka tries to be the best Jedi that she can be in the hopes of honor her people, and also to honor Master Kanas. If she would allow herself a moment to have a young girl’s dream it would be to unbind her hair in her master’s presence.
