[b]Character Alignment:[/b] Chaotic good

[b]Character Background:[/b] Zena Vale was born on the beautiful Core World of Alderran, twenty four years before its future destruction at the hands of the Empire. Her father Kenall, was a well regarded diplomat in the planetary government. Her mother Wina stayed home caring for Zena and her two younger brothers Crixian and Oran. Zena has the fondest of memories of her gorgeous homeworld, many days of her youth spent running through the boundless fields or swimming in the crystal clear lakes. The world frequently fills her dreams at night and its destruction haunts her thoughts. She showcased intelligence as a student, and it seemed as if she was on track for a highly esteemed position like her father. Zena was kindhearted and sweet as a child, with an eye for the beauty of nature. 

As she grew into adulthood she developed an interest in the arts and politics much like her father did. She would end up working for her father as an assistant and later a representative on intergalactic diplomatic endeavours. During this time Zena taught herself to use a blaster, something she would always carry in her missions for her father. She never believed that she would come to depend on blasters to earn her glory. She visited multiple worlds on her diplomatic work, including several of the core worlds and outer rim territories. Despite the rise of the Empire the Alderaani government continued to build strong diplomatic terms with other worlds. Her father was an early contributor to the Alliance to Restore the Republic, though Zena did not involve herself in it until the destruction of her homeworld. Alderaan was the Rebel Alliance's chief backer and had earned the ire of the fierce Galactic Empire. 

When the disaster occurred Zena was offworld on Corellia, in Coronet City to negotiate with the local government about trade deals. The announcement of its Alderaan's destruction immediately filled the news and shook Zena to her core. Her entire family had been wiped out, as well as her friends and neighbors. As the death count was announced she broke down in tears whilst she filled with a deep vengeance for the Empire after their unforgivable actions. She remained on Corellia for a few months, having been granted a temporary residence following the unprecedented destruction of her world. The Rebel Alliance seeked her out shortly after that and she eagerly joined up. Contrasting her previous role in the Alderaani government she chose to take up arms against the Imperials. There was no negotiating with such a terrifying force. 

Zena underwent weeks of grueling training until she was skilled enough to hold her own on the battlefield. The beautiful diplomat had been molded into a ferocious commando with a bloodlust for Imperials. She participated in the most harrowing missions, operations that struck harshly at the Empire. Often partaking in guerilla operations which resulted in high death counts for both sides. As she gained renown in her early years of action she established her own team of special operations soldiers. Warriors that would happily be plunged behind Imperial lines to wreck havoc and pile up corpses. Vorn Tiger squad was born, aptly named after a viscous apex predator on Alderaan. Sergeant Vale intentionally seeked out soldiers with personal vendettas against the Empire as she believed they'd fight the hardest without regret. Her present day team was pulled together and began work.

Vorn Tiger squad's operations involved planting bombs at Imperial sites, kidnapping high ranking Imperial personal, assassinations of important Imperials and annihilation of strongholds. With every mission they seeked to punch holes in the Empire until they left nothing but a trail of destruction behind them. They earned a reputation as a brutal spec ops team that showed little mercy to the enemy. The brutality they fought with is in part as to why the fiercely loyal Zena has not been granted further promotions. As well as the fact that she's turned down every single one which would take her away from her squad. As the days of the war waned down she could feel something big about to happen.

During the battle of Endor her squad were deployed on another world taking part in an insurgent operation. As Vorn Tiger squad heard news of the second Death Star's destruction and the Emperor's death they toasted to finishing off the Empire. As the New Republic was born her team have continued to do missions under the banner, never putting down their arms against the scattered remnants of the Empire. Several of her team fell in action over the years and they were properly mourned, as new additions were brought on board. Zena continues to wage the fight against the Empire, eager as ever with vengeance for her homeworld constantly in her heart.

[b]Character Personality:[/b] Sergeant Vale is a hardy woman with an obvious vendetta against the Empire for the destruction of her homeworld. It is unrelenting in its fury, and never-ending in its scope. She treats Imperials with no respect and is brutal in her actions against them. She takes pride in causing destruction against them, so much so that her team has been instructed by Republic command to tone it down. An order which they frequently disregard. She's utterly ruthless in her actions against the Empire. The viciousness of which she and her squad acts against the Empire is something to be noted, it is a take no prisoners streak of pure brutality. She has no qualms with doing practically anything that will hurt the Empire, not caring for granting any mercy. Zena possesses an intelligent tactical mind, with well versed knowledge of battle planning. She's a charismatic figure within Vorn Tiger squad, which the soldiers under her command follow her without question. She is not stubborn and will frequently seek out advice from her troopers.

Zena has a friendly deposition to most, frequently pitching friendly jokes at the expense of others. She still has a chip on her shoulder over Alderaan's destruction, which she refuses to ever stop letting drive her. She rarely speaks of her life before her homeworld was annihilated, having found her place in the Rebellion. She's close with all her squadmates, willing to die for any of them as much as they'd die for her. Zena is glad they finally toppled the Empire but knows the job is not finished, she only hopes the New Republic does not stop the fight until the entirety of the Empire is dissolved and destroyed. Until that day she refuses to put down her rifle.
