Name: Corrina Danala Sorovia neé Corrina Danala
Aliases: Was often codenamed “
Kalidor.” Also (incorrectly) referred to as Lady Sorovia by shorthanded opposing negotiating parties that desperately want to appeal to Corrina’s good graces.
Age: 38
Species: Human
Homeworld: Naboo
Allegiance: New Republic
Starting Location: The Raven
Gender: Female
Languages: Galactic Standard, Huttese, Ithorese, Rodian, Durese, Sullustese
Occupation: Senator for the New Republic; also dabbles in spying and selling information
Height: 5’9
Weight: 140 pounds
Build: Lean, and though still somewhat strong, not quite as quick or athletic as in her younger years
Eyes: Green
Hair: Dark Brown
Skin Tone: Fair
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: On her back is a tattooed list of the names of each Rebel soldier that died protecting her, and on her left forearm vines wrap around the arm, much like a wedding band. She has three piercings around her right ear, three rings, each with a different colored stone.
Personal Style: Corrina is wealthy and powerful, and she goes well out of her way to show it. She dresses, appropriately, much like a Naboo noble, and though her outfits are never quite as extravagant the Queen of Naboo’s were, Corrina would give any other person of stature in the galaxy a run for their money. She typically wears long and silky dresses, causing Corrina to appear as if she were simply flowing about like water. They are designed with bright, eye catching colors, often in patterns inspired by nature.
Doesn’t really do her too well when the blasters start to go off, though. If things are
really too dangerous for her normal outfits, she has a spare set of Rebel military fatigues from her time on Yavin IV.
Patient * Indecisive * Discerning * Nosy * Inspiring * Full of it, quite honestly
Sexuality: Bisexual
Relationship Status: Widowed (So technically single, if you want to try your luck!)
Personality: Nothing matters more to Corrina than eradicating the Empire and establishing the New Republic as the galaxy’s central government. Her entire life’s work has been devoted to this one task, and that isn’t about to change any time soon. She is fiercely loyal to the New Republic, and though she is hardly a firebrand, she will go out of her way to defend it.
In any case, Corrina knows both the life of luxury and the life of a soldier, having stuck with the New Republic since its early beginnings as the Rebel Alliance as well as being born a rich noblewoman on Naboo and being raised partly on Coruscant. Her wealthy upbringing often prevails over her grittier side, causing Corrina to come off as a bit of a snob. She takes herself entirely too seriously, knows she could buy out just about anybody in the galaxy, and more often than not, seems like she doesn’t think you’re worth her time.
But break that down, either through trust or by gnawing away at her uptight exterior, and Corrina’s time with the Rebellion shows through. Though she never really was a soldier, she respects and appreciates soldiers for their sacrifices. Such appreciation was extrapolated onto other walks of life. Corrina sees the value in everyone, and often tries to appeal to it or exploit it in any way she can to meet her needs. It makes her a bit of a natural leader, as she can use earned trust and form strong symbiotic relationships at will.
At the end of the day, however, she’s still a politician and a negotiator. Corrina’s ability can go the other direction: she sees people for what they are, sees what they want out of her, and can just as easily turn it against them. It’s a frightening combination; on one hand she’s appealing to your trust in her to overcome any obstacle together, but on the other she’s carefully setting opposing negotiators into a trap of their own doing. This makes forming trust difficult - most people see her as the cold, callous politician and never make it to the warmer, friendlier interior.
But Corrina is heavily dependent on forming bonds with those around her. After all, somebody has to protect her skin if it all hits the fan, right? She often does her homework on the crew when she receives a new assignment, making sure she can find compatibility and establish a rapport with them so she can trust them to keep her safe.
Habits:- Smoking. It’s a secret. Mostly.
- Orgainzing everything.
Hobbies:- Dejarik - though she’s no good, and quite frankly, might not know the rules!
- Learning new languages - comes with the job, but she likes it. She’s working on Aqualish at the moment, which they say is easier when you know Huttese and Rodian.
- Keeping up to date with galactic news, from major political shifts all the way down to the nitty gritty, such as updates in trade routes or 12 Reasons Your Local Twi’Lek Stripper Is Smarter Than You. (Knowledge is power… right?)
Fears:- Re-entering a relationship. Losing one partner is hard enough.
- Naboo’s destruction. She knows what happened to Alderaan and even though the Death Star’s been destroyed (twice), she hates the thought of losing Naboo.
- Being betrayed
Likes:- Weakening the Empire
- Establishing peace in the galaxy
- Organization and order
- When nobody has to draw a weapon

- Core Worlds
- Outer Rim
- Xenology
- Education
Combat Skills:- Blaster pistols
- Calling for help
- Ducking for cover
- Getting out of the line of fire
- Running for her life
- Thanking the people protecting her defenseless ass
What Is On Your Person:- Clothing - I mentioned the dresses, right? And that Rebel military outfit. So it’s either a dress or those fatigues.
- A DL-44 pistol. Hey, Han Solo used one, so it’s gotta be good.
- Communicator
- However much money in as many different currencies she has in a purse. Or in a pocket somewhere if she’s in the fatigues.
- A datapad that pretty much has everything she needs. Intel for her missions and assignments, background checks on people around her, the latest in Tatooine pod racing - what more could you want? That goes in the purse. Or the pockets.
- Cigarras. And a lighter. Always. Also in the purse. Or pockets.
Quarters:- A computer where she stores any and all data gathered before and after a mission, all data carefully and neatly organized. Corrina typically tries to get it linked to the ship navicomputer, so she can stay up to date with drift charts and such. If there’s an off chance she needs to know something, it’s on that computer.
- Pictures of her and her wife on Naboo
- A Pazaak deck (she can actually play pazaak, unlike dejarik, but she finds it boring)
- Those dresses I mentioned
- A collection of gifts given to and received from her wife
- A flower from Naboo in a vase
The Reason You Chose The Side You Did: #rebel4lyfe Am I right? In all seriousness, though, Corrina’s parents were wealthy owners of a cargo transport company based on Coruscant during the days of the Republic, loyal to the Republic from the Invasion of Naboo through the Clone Wars. However, when the nature of the newly formed Empire became apparent to the galaxy, Corrina’s parents shifted their allegiance to the Rebellion, funding and supporting it in any way she could. Simply put, Corrina was raised beliving in the principles and ideals of the Rebellion - a galaxy free from the oppressive reign of the Empire. Also, the fun little bit about betrayal, dead parents and wives, and the Empire, all below in the history!
History: As a child, Corrina often moved between Coruscant and Naboo, following wherever her parents went. She was raised almost as royalty, as the Danala family’s wealth was nearly unrivaled on Naboo. When her family began to assist the Rebel Alliance, Corrina was just 19. Eager to help as well, Corrina abandoned her family to become a smuggler for the Alliance, purchasing a frigate of her own. She made it through two jobs over the course of three months before she realized the dirty work simply wasn’t for her; Corrina returned home to live with her parents and let them assist the Rebels indirectly.
It was during her return to Naboo she met her lover and future wife, Virya Sorovia. Virya was only a visitor to Naboo at the time, but Corrina was able to convince her to stay. The couple married and settled down into a house of their own, living peacefully for several years. During this time, Corrina found it interesting to spend her time learning languages from around the galaxy, or keeping up to date with the state of galactic affairs. Gotta do something when you
and your wife are both rich housewives being funded and supported by your rich-ass parents, right?
As always with stories like these, the peace had to come to an end. When Corrina was 26, the Empire discovered the Danala family’s treason and raided their estate; during the attack, Corrina’s parents, as well as Virya, were killed. Left with her family’s wealth and company, Corrina fled for Yavin IV, where she knew the Rebel Alliance was hiding. She was taken in as a token of gratitude for her parents contributions, though was told she needed to find a way to contribute to the Rebellion soon.
She discovered that she had a way with words, a talent only bolstered by her knowledge of languages and her interest in keeping up with the social and political maneuverings of the galaxy. She became a key political agent for the Rebellion, swaying people to join the cause and convincing key financial and business partners to support the Rebellion with credits, weapons, and other resources. And, on the side, maybe a little spying on the Empire here and there, stealing valuable secrets and whatnot. Just for fun.
After the Battle of Endor, Corrina was repurposed to become a senator in the newly formed New Republic. It wasn’t like her new title had any effect on her role, at all. She had the same job, just a little bit more official this time. She found herself sent on board the Raven; a familiar assignment, but all the more exciting given the wave of change she would be riding as a representative for the New Republic.
Character Quote: “I’m sure you think you have the advantage in these negotiations, but rest assured, you do not.”
Theme Song:Imperial Record: Smuggling (4 counts), Assault on an Imperial Officer (3 counts), Murdering an Imperial Officer/Agent (1 count), Murdering an Imperial Officer/Agent - Secondhand (113 counts), Sabotage of an Imperial Station (2 counts), Spying for the Rebellion (77 counts), General Treason Against the Empire (count too high), Trespassing (1 count). Thank whoever's out there that she never got arrested for all this crap.
Anything Else: I 100% have to go with The Force Awakens. I absolutely adore all the movies, but Daisy Ridley and John Boyega knock this one out of the park.
