[indent]Aroma is 166 centimeters in height and has lithe build with pale skin. Her hair reaches down to her shoulder blades and often changes color for her performances, though she usually has it as either a brown or lilac color and her eyes a light-blue/teal color. Out in public, Aroma follows the leading galactic clothing trends and more often than not has her outfits already decided for her by her management staff. Because of this, however, her wardrobe always seems to be bursting at the seams and usually needs to be cleaned out monthly, sometimes weekly depending on the trends. In private, however, Aroma tends to fall back to her roots with looser, more comfortable, clothing along with her favorite jacket fashioned with a cartoonish imp face on the left breast.[/indent]

[indent][list]
[*]Custom Care Droid - Designated as C2, this droid was created by Aroma’s grandfather to look after her in her older years since Garm was still very busy with his obligations to the military. The droid moved via a small repulsorlift engine and was capable of navigation, holo communication, and sending out a distress signal should its charge fall under danger. The droid was also programmed to transmit her location to Garm so he could keep track of Aroma.
[*]Travel Suitcase - Due to frequent travel, Aroma always has a suitcase of her most important personal belongings ready to go. It contains her favorite jacket, her first stage uniform, a picture of her parents, and various trinkets she’s collected from the planets she’s toured.
[*]A-180 Blaster Kit - As a gift from her grandfather for graduating from the Royal Corellian Flight Academy, Aroma was given an A-180 Modular Blaster Kit. She usually keeps the blast in its pistol configuration but occasionally, when Garm takes her out to the range, she is able to use the other configurations. Although she owns a blaster, Aroma usually doesn’t carry it on her person at all times since she doesn’t feel the need to, often leaving it in her room instead.

[color=5bc098][b]|[u] {Physical Abilities} [/u]|[/b][/color]
[indent][list]
[*]Agile & Flexible - Due to her occupation as a popstar, management has Aroma undergo enough exercise to maintain her figure. While she is not physically strong, she is still fit and has a fair amount of stamina.
[*]Royal Corellian Flight Academy - Because of her family’s military service along with being raised by Grandpa Garm, who also happens to be an admiral in the Corellian Hegemony, Aroma was sent to study the basics of officership in the Royal Corellian Flight Academy. As a result of her schooling, Aroma has basic combat and blaster training, basic flight training, and a basic understanding of fleet and leadership tactics.

[color=5bc098][b]|[u] {Force Abilities} [/u]|[/b][/color]
[indent][list]
[*]Battle Meditation - Although Aroma has no idea that she’s force sensitive and even less of an idea that she has this incredibly rare ability, she still manages to call upon this ability intuitively during her concerts to improve both her own performance and that of her stage crew. To the unknowing eye, it just looks like Aroma is a very good singer with a very experienced stage crew in the background along with a captivated audience. To those who knew what to look for, however, the effects of the force power were obvious in how efficiently the stage crew were working, in how much energy Aroma was able to put into each song, and in how clearly they could focus on the music despite the crowd.
[*]Force Empathy - Another skill which Aroma has, though she just thinks she’s good at reading and understanding people, is Force Empathy. Intuitively, this lets her read the crowd she’s performing for which in turn influences which song she decides to perform next. Her unusual perceptiveness with people has not gone unnoticed, though it has mostly just improved her reputation with fans and critics alike with how kind she is. Even her grandfather has noticed her social skill, though she has never been able to get passed Garm’s experienced emotional barrier.

[color=5bc098][b]|[u] {Limitations} [/u]|[/b][/color]
[indent][list]
[*]Civilian - For literally all of her life, Aroma has lived as a civilian. Though she has definitely traveled more than the average joe, the life she has led so far has been a peaceful one. As a result, she has no live combat experience.
[*]Untrained Force Sensitive - Aroma is untrained in the workings of the force and more often than not has little to no control of her abilities, even if she has an intuitive understanding of them.

[color=5bc098][b]|[u] {Personality} [/u]|[/b][/color]
[indent]Originally, Aroma was a shy and soft-spoken girl in front of others. Due to both her grandfather’s obligations and her own surname, Aroma spent a lot of time in the solitude of her grandfather’s home on Corellia. As she began working in the entertainment industry, however, she was more or less forced into becoming more social. Fortunately, she was able to find her footing in the industry, taking her social interactions in stride as she quickly became an upstart in the music community. Nowadays, Aroma has learned to become more assertive in front of others, although she still finds comfort in solitude occasionally. 

Despite her shyness early on, Aroma always had a bit of an adventurous, sometimes even mischievous, spirit within her. This, for better or worse, often led her to the streets of Coronet to explore the many sights and wonders of the Jewel of Corellia. Later on in life, this nature of hers often caused her to sneak away, with a casual disguise, to bars featuring an open mic night so she could return to her roots and sing the slower, softer music she more often than not couldn’t perform as a pop-star.

If there is one trait, other than her singing, that Aroma is known by, it is her notorious kindness. Being raised in relative safety compared to the rest of the galaxy, Aroma is, by default, kind and trusting to all, possibly to a fault. Combined with her natural empathy, courtesy of the force, Aroma actively goes out of her way to accommodate others, often taking the time to listen to someone’s problems and helping them talk things out.[/indent]
[color=5bc098][b]|[u] {Place of Origin} [/u]|[/b][/color]
[indent]Aroma was born and raised on Corellia under the Bel Iblis lineage. Unfortunately, her parents died during the clone wars when she was too young to remember, leaving her to be raised by her grandfather, Garm Bel Iblis, in Coronet City.[/indent]
[color=5bc098][b]|[u] {Background} [/u]|[/b][/color]
[hider][indent]Aroma Bel Iblis, granddaughter to Garm Bel Iblis, was born in Coronet City in 18 BBY. Aroma, for most of her life, grew up under the guidance of her grandfather due to her parents’ deaths during the clone wars. According to Garm, Aroma’s parents died during the defense of Corellia against General Grievous’ diversionary attack, though they didn’t know it was a diversionary attack at the time. “They sacrificed themselves so that you could live a brighter and happier future Aroma, never forget that.” is a line that little Aroma would often hear from her grandfather was home and able to tuck her in himself. Unbeknownst to the child however, Garm had his work cut out for him in regards to matters other than the Corellian Military. One such matter being the Green Jedi and protecting little Aroma from the mess that was the Corellian Jedi Order. Although Garm was not force sensitive himself, he had worked with plenty of other Jedi in his life and was able to see the signs of Aroma’s force sensitivity. Thus, Garm set it upon himself to protect his granddaughter from the messy politics of the Green Jedi and to ensure that she has as normal of a life as possible, just like her parents would have wanted for her.

During her younger years on Corellia, Aroma was often left to herself and the at-home caretaker droid, Garm being too busy with matters concerning the Corellian navy to be at home all the time. Because of this, young Aroma was quick to bore in the empty apartment, especially after she was finished with her school work. This ultimately led to her start in singing, as she would often play and sing along to her favorite songs in the empty apartment without worrying about disturbing someone.

As Aroma entered her teenage years, she was gifted C2, a custom care and guidance droid that could accompany her outside of the apartment, and an enrollment letter into the Royal Corellian Flight Academy. In general, however, her life didn’t change much from before, she went to school, did her homework, came home to an empty apartment, sang for a bit, rinse and repeat. The only thing that seemed to change was that she was now at a prestigious school, but, just like before, people took notice of her surname and usually avoided her, some even bullied her due to her shy nature. Alongside this, Aroma started to wander the streets of Coronet more often now that she had C2, usually following the sound of music into various stores before staying awhile to listen. More often than not she usually ended up at an upscale bar known as ‘The Corellian Standard’ because she liked the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere of both the establishment and the music it featured. 

One night at the bar, however, would drastically change the girl’s future, as it would become the first time Aroma performed in front of others. That night, the bar held an open mic event, allowing anyone to step up and perform their act, though they would be at the mercy of the crowd. For some reason, one that Aroma still doesn’t know, she stepped on stage after feeling a tug in her heart to do so. It took her a few moments to calm herself down on stage, not used to having so many people looking at her at once. Ultimately, she just ended up closing her eyes before starting to sing a song that she thought matched the venue and knew by heart. It would be a strange sight to those that knew the bar because for once, it was dead silent as Aroma sang, not a single person making a sound to avoid disturbing the beautiful performance. Once the song ended, the bar exploded with praise and applause, catching Aroma off guard with how positive the reaction was as some even cheering for another song. After the night ended, Aroma was left with a big grin on her lips and a new part-time job as a lounge singer as she returned to the apartment.

Time seemed to fly for Aroma as she spent her days at the academy and her nights at the bar singing. Before she knew it, she was already graduating from the academy and receiving her credentials from her own grandfather. Although she had already decided she wouldn’t be enlisting into the military, Garm still gifted her an A-180 Modular Blaster Kit, stating that it was better to have a blaster and not need it than to need one and not have it. Later on in her life, she would always take it with her when she spent time with her grandfather since they would often bond at the shooting range. By the time of her graduation, Aroma had already decided what she wanted to do thanks to a lucky break one night when she was singing at the bar. An employee from Galactic Records that was scouting for new talent approached her after her set and offered her the opportunity of a lifetime, a shot at the big leagues in the music industry. After talking to her grandfather and getting his vote of support, Aroma committed to pursuing what had become her dream and took the first steps towards sharing her music with the galaxy.

Before she knew it, a year had already passed by in her new career under the stage name ‘Paff.’ At this point, she had released two albums with a third in the works, been interviewed by multiple news outlets, including the Corellia Times from back home, and was even on a galactic tour to perform live for her fans. It was at the last stop of this very tour, Corellia, where she announced exciting news to her fans back home. Due to how well Aroma has been doing the industry, her reputation as an upstart has started to become well known to the community. Because of this, Shiri, another, more prominent, artist that works with Galactic Records took attention to the rise of ‘Paff’ and ultimately invited her to join a group that she was forming.  Aroma, who was a long time fan of Shiri, was absolutely ecstatic at the offer and took it practically immediately. Thus, this led to Paff’s announcement at the end of the tour that she would be joining Shiri’s pop-group as a part-time member, before surprising all her fans with the guest appearance of the pop-group in question and a sneak peek performance of the album they’d be releasing together.

Another year full of songs, albums, tours, and collaborations would pass for Aroma before she was suddenly called back to Corellia. There, she was met by her grandfather who introduced the rising pop star to Mandalorian Ambassador Alleron, a representative from The Grand Republic of Mandalore sent to improve diplomatic relations between the two nations. Aroma was then briefed on their plan to host a cultural exchange between Mandalore and Corellia with each planets’ respective capital cities hosting a cultural festival of the other nation. Finally, she then was requested to represent the modern age of Corellian music at the festival on Mandalore. At first, Aroma was fairly hesitant about accepting the task, wondering if she was the right person for the job. After some self deliberation though, she made up her mind and accepted the task, mainly to try and help out her aging grandfather since she knew just how busy he always was. She did have one condition however, she would only participate if she was allowed to visit the Mandalorian festival on Corellia first, to which they were more than fine with. So, after visiting nearly every food stall and filling her Holo-Gram feed with Mandalorian foods and desserts, Aroma packed her things, organized the show with her agency, and set off on her first trip to Mandalore.

[*]Most recent diary entry:
[hider=Entry #227]
“Today, I met with Grandpa and a woman known as Ambassador Alleron. Grandpa said that she was a representative from Mandalore and that they wanted to help both the Corellian Hegemony and The Grand Republic of Mandalore get along. They also wanted me to help and although I did agree, I still wonder if I was the right choice… I guess I’ll just have to make sure they don’t regret their choice by putting on the best show ever known to Mandalore! Still, I’m pretty nervous about practically representing Corellia as a whole… As long as it helps Grandpa though, I’ll do my best! He really works too hard, maybe I can take him out for a day at the range after the concert. I think he’d like that. Oh! I also hope there’s a lot of yummy food there like at the festival, everyone on Holo-Gram seemed to like the pictures so it’d be nice to get more. Ah, the ship just left hyperspace, hopefully everything goes well with this event.”
