_________________
Appearance: Aisa stands at around 1.66 m tall, or around 5'4", with skin the colour of jade and eyes of icy blue. She is clearly young and is fairly petite in build, but possessing the beginnings of a wiry strength. Her hair is naturally jet black but is shaved off save for a braided strip of hair perhaps 2 inches/5 cm wide that slides its way down the back of her head and usually ends in a long braid or braids. Her traditional Mirialan face tattoos are fairly sparse, being as young as she is. That said she is not lacking them entirely; on her left cheek she has an intricate design in the form of a rectangle with the inner side pointing up towards her eye in black ink. She typically does not wear makeup aside from dark eyeliner which she flourishes with a streak from the bottom of her eye that makes it look like she is crying, except black and from the middle of her eye. The helix of both of her ears is pierced with three rings of silver each.
She prefers to wear the darker coloured robes and tunic of her people, as opposed to the lighter, more natural coloured robes favoured by most Jedi. Although she is not that picky and will take whatever colours are available to her.
Her face resembles an upside down tear drop, with a pointed chin and rounded head. Aisa possess the fullness of lips that is common her in her species and large, clear eyes that often indicate her emotions better than her words. Her nose is somewhat small, and slightly upturned. Her eyebrows slant upwards somewhat, giving her an almost predatory look.
Personality: Aisa is almost everything a Jedi should strive not to be. She is impetuous, hot-headed, and has trouble controlling her emotions. That being said, she is still young and has many positive qualities as well; she is caring and loyal, as well as determined and passionate. She is friendly and easy to get along with most times, but can be very prickly when she perceives something as attacking or insulting her. She tends to be blunt at times, not bothering to cloak her opinions in flowery language or euphemism. Her old master constantly cautioned her to temper her pride, anger, and hubris. It is still something she struggles with, learning to trust her instincts but not reacting merely on impulse and feeling.
Like many of her species, Aisa is deeply religious and feels that her actions do not merely shape her own destiny, but the destiny of the Mirialans as a whole. To this end she feels heavily burdened by doubts that her recklessness (of which she is keenly aware) could bring some doom upon her kind.
In matters of conflict she prefers straightforward and headlong tactics, much to almost everyone else's chagrin. To her, there is no greater victory than meeting your opponent on equal footing and besting them. She hates to lose, and loves to win, although paradoxically she views winning through deception or subterfuge as a sort of hollow victory. This is not to say she is incapable of thought or any advanced tactics, she just refuses to use them if she can avoid it. Her aforementioned hatred of losing is usually enough to push her to use any means of victory (even ones she would normally view as 'underhanded') if she feels she is outmatched physically. Some of these traits cause some small amount of alarm for the other Jedi, who view her as too martial for a peacekeeping order and view her as vulnerable to seduction by the Dark Side of the Force.
She has absorbed the ideals of the Jedi thoroughly and views wanton violence and cruelty as repugnant, though her own passion is something of a trouble spot for her, knowing that it can lead to the Dark Side. In many ways she is the opposite of the stereotypical Mirialan. She is not a controlled, measured, efficient warrior. She is wild and bold and flashy and aggressive. But she is also graceful and agile and cares deeply for her kind.
History:Aisa does not remember her parents, only that she was an orphan and that she felt a connection to the force from a young age. Like many force-sensitive children, Aisa was adopted by the Jedi Order when she reached the age of a youngling. From there she became an initiate and learned to control her powers. Though she was rather gifted in the force, it was the lightsabers that truly entranced her. She dreamt of one day becoming a great Jedi blademaster. Once her lightsaber training proper began she threw herself into it passionately and developed quite the aptitude for the aggressive tactics of Ataru, though she also studied the more defensive dueling of Djem So.
Though the Council saw great promise in the young Mirialan, they also were concerned for her. She wore her emotions on her sleeve and hurled herself at any task set upon with great passion. They were harmless now, even good for her. But they knew that if she did not learn to control her emotions she would be easy prey for the Dark Side. They would need to find a master, one who could at least set her on the proper path to control, if not totally tame her wild nature.
Eventually she was made a Padawan to the Master Thastus Halloran, a wise diplomat and powerful force user who the Council hoped would help temper young Aisa's free-flowing emotions. Affectionately calling her his young Eyas (a unfledged hawk or falcon) the two traveled the galaxy, solving problems and exploring planets and their issues. And although Thastus' influence did somewhat stop her from becoming totally consumed by her emotions, it was ultimately up to her to gain control over them, something she has still struggled with to this day. After years of galactic planet hopping and missions, her Master finally felt she was ready for her trials.
Landing on a small and remote planetoid that housed only a small mining colony, Thastus set her trial into motion. Supposedly they were there to solve some problems with the local Hutt Cartel that was harassing the destitute mining colony. Before they had even begun to investigate the Hutts, Master Halloran faked his own accidental death at the hands of the miners in an explosion. Enraged and blinded by grief, Aisa carved a bloody path of revenge through the colony and it was only after she had killed everyone did she realise what she had done. However it was all an illusion. The miners were only droids. Thastus had tricked her mind into believing they were people and had faked his death to see if she could control her emotions. She could not and so she had failed her trial.
It would be another year before Aisa was given another chance at Knighthood. Following a brief separation from her Master, Aisa was captured by a team of bounty hunters on Nar Shaddaa. Following a fierce battle and two-day chase in the Undercity, the three hunters had drugged her and she woke up imprisoned on their ship. Using the force, she fashioned a jagged knife from a loose piece of durasteel she had wrenched off of the ship. Pretending to be asleep she cut the throat of the first hunter to check on her and retrieved her lightsaber, which she used to cut down the second hunter. The third was a skilled vibroswordsman and the two had a running duel throughout the modified freighter for hours. Hiding, chasing, and having furious skirmishes among the piles of metal and darkened corridors. The only light coming from the blade of Aisa's saber. The ship drifted aimlessly in orbit as the two combatants wrecked the interior of the ship with various clashes. Finally, exhausted, the two fought themselves to a standstill on the bridge and, with grudging respect the last hunter let the young Jedi go free on Nar Shaddaa once again.
From there she made her way back to the Jedi temple and explained why she had become separated from her worried Master. Though he had his doubts about her control over her emotions, at the urging of the Council, Aisa was granted her long sought-after Knighthood. Tearfully, and with a promise to keep her emotions in check, she parted with her old Master, now a newly-made Knight and ready to make her mark on the Universe.

Equipment: -Her lightsaber is a matte silver tube with bronze inlays along the handle and a bronze ring around the blade emitter. Its blade is a deep, deep blue, almost indigo.
-Jedi tunic of black fabric and a black artificial leather
-Brown Jedi cloak, a replacement of her original one which was lost in her escape from Nar Shaddaa
-Small and lightweight survival rations, designed to provide necessary nutrients in the smallest package possible
Skills: -Aisa is a skilled melee combatant, utilising her natural mirialan agility in tandem with her extensive study of Ataru to dance around her opponents and wear them down with blows from seemingly every direction like a rainstorm. She is not the most technically adept fencer, being so young, but she is ferocious.
-For more defensive situations, she has also studied Djem So, though not nearly as much as she has studied Ataru. Aisa fairly adept at counter-attacks and reflecting blasterfire, although it's never her first choice.
-She has also begun a cursory study of Jar'kai, intrigued at the idea of two lightsabers. She has yet to formally acquire a second blade and her skill is only in its infancy as of now.
-Her melee skills also extend to unarmed combat. Aisa's natural speed and agility have led to many brawls ending with the other side beaten into submission by a flurry of well-aimed blows at blinding speed.
-Aisa is also a Jedi after all, so she possesses many powers over the Force. Some she has yet to discover. Other minor skills that warrant minor mentions include average piloting skills for someone who has traveled extensively and being a passable shot with a blaster (though she secretly views them as inferior and dishonourable.) Overall she is a very direct person with very direct skills. Though she may not be the most creative fighter, she is very skilled.
