[b]Name:[/b] Uushaya Payano

[b]Species:[/b] Twi’lek

[b]Age:[/b] 19

[b]Faction:[/b] Neutral

[b]Equipment:[/b] Dancing clothes, casual attire, rebreather, flute/hidden lightsaber. A YT-2400

[b]Skills:[/b] 
*Dancing, A skilled dancer, it accommodates her needs to blend in when trying to track down slave traders.
*Playing the flute, Besides dancing she picked up playing the flute to give her a stronger value for entertainment, plus the flute was perfect for disguising her lightsaber.
*Moderate force usage, She might not be Master Yoda, or a Skywalker, but through the tutelage of her Master she has come to have a decent degree of control over the force and what it is capable of doing.
*Shii Cho (Advanced), The first lightsaber form she was taught, she was required to learn this form extensively for the simple basics of lightsaber combat before she could learn any others.
*Soresu (Advanced), Upon completion of Shii Cho her Master thought it was pertinent for her to learn a technique useful against blasters, and thus trained her heavily in Soresu.
*Makashi (Beginner), Wanting to learn to at least have some semblance of defending herself from perhaps another force user her Master taught her some skills in Makashi, though this was never something she was trained extensively in.
*Piloting (Experienced), Her Master having a disdain for flying himself, taught her the basics of doing such, and enjoying the freedom of the task excelled in it. 

[b]Weaknesses:[/b] It stands to reason that without the official training of the Jedi Order Uushaya lacks the composure and self control a typical Jedi would have, she has been known to be rash, and to act with her emotions before thinking out a situation logically. She can also be rather trusting, enjoying the company of those that she considers friends she can often find herself with her guard let down, it has led to many situations that had a far more dangerous edge than necessary. Uushaya walks a thin line between light and dark, with what she hopes to achieve, and the way she goes about it she has to retain a degree of secrecy, and that means not letting those who might wish to do harm to her mission know her identity, this means she sometimes has to be a bit merciless in her actions, and that treads on the darkside, though she tries to keep killing as painless as possible.

[b]History:[/b][/center]
[b]Early Life[/b]
[hr]
Much of her early life Uushaya has forgotten, or did she ever really remember, it doesn’t matter as it isn’t important to what has shaped her into the ‘Jedi’ she is today. It started when Uushaya was kidnapped by slavers from Ryloth, and during her transportation to the outer rim said Slavers were actually attacked by pirates, Uushaya not wanting to switch hands of captors hid, and hid well she did, as the pirates scoured the ship she remained unnoticed, and while this meant she would remain free from the hands of the wicked, it also meant she was alone, drifting through space in a ship that she had no idea how to pilot. It was by the will of the force that a Jedi Knight by the name of Aphron Po would sense a presence in the force upon the drifting slaver ship, and stop to find the source of said senses. Upon finding the young Twi’lek girl Po knew that she would be important to him, and so took her, and told her that she was able to use the force, and that she had the choice to either train under him, or he would return her to Ryloth.

It wasn’t a far-fetched thing for a child who had been through such a traumatizing event to want to gain the abilities to make a change in the Galaxy, and to be trained to become a legendary Jedi held quite a bit of weight with the young mind. And so her training began, day in and out Po trained Uushaya keeping her on her toes, and all the while he would have her keep an eye on the ship while he went out to thwart what wicked activities he could, working as a secret police of the good when he could and training her at all other times. As she got older, and her skills became more profound, her power with the force flourishing, Aphron would begin to take her on missions, letting her to get to know the places that the slaves would end up at. It was at these locales that Uushaya learned her skills to dance, the natural fluid movements of her twi’lek race making it incredibly easy for her to pick up the skills, and she further enjoyed spending time with cantina bands and ended up with a flute that she enjoyed practicing much to Aphron’s dismay during his meditation.

[b]Being a Jedi[/b]
[hr]
With age and experience came more responsibility and Uushaya began accompanying Aphron on more and more dangerous missions, stopping slave trafficking when they could, there was even a point when during the midst of a battle a drunk gambling dug was shot in the face by a slaver since he shouldn’t have been there. Things seemed ever the more on the up in Uushaya’s eyes as they continued to have success after success against the wicked trade in sentients, and the news of the rebellion going well brought even more comfort to the thought that one day the Jedi might be able to come out of hiding. Unfortunately the good feelings could only last so long, a darkness would come upon the pair of Jedi soon, and it would come down on them with the force.

Unknown to the pair they had interrupted a deal between an Imperial agent and several slavers, the slavers had been killed, but the Imperial agent had escaped in the chaos. Reporting that two Jedi were in fact in the Outer Rim. An Inquisitor, accompanied by twenty storm troopers were dispatched to find and destroy the Jedi, and it would be on Nar Shadaa that this task was almost accomplished. Ambushing the pair in a hangar the two would have been doomed had it not been for a group of smugglers who began opening fire on the death troopers thinking they had been tracked down for taking illegal transporting Imperial Goods. By the end of the conflict all the Imperials lay dead, as well as the smugglers, and Aphron was minus an arm. Knowing now they were compromised and Aphron being at a disadvantage he did what he considered the best option and took their ship and left the system, leaving a trail so that the Empire would follow him. 

Uushaya now alone would take the Smuggler’s ship since they weren’t using it anymore, and set off across the Outer Rim once more, continuing the mission that Aphron and her had been previously on, to save as many from becoming slaves as possible. Uushaya would also hold out hope that Aphron would return and the Jedi Order be rebuilt.
