Yaneta Ora is a civil engineer in the Rebel Alliance, and a Jedi Padawan of the Jedi Praxeum. She is a female Twi'lek native to the planet Ryloth, where she had grown up and spent most of her life. In her early twenties, she had developed sympathies for the Rebel Alliance and its cause, and decided to leave her homeworld in order to join the fight against Imperial tyranny.

In Year 23, Yaneta graduated from the Alliance's academy with a reward for academic excellence, and joined its civilian branch as a civil engineer. Afterwards, she was found to be Force Sensitive and was taken in as a student of the newly formed Jedi Praxeum. Yaneta has been a proud citizen of the Rebel Alliance ever since, and works diligently to deepen her mastery and understanding of the Force.


Biography

Early Life (Year 0 - Year 23)

In Year 0, Yaneta was born into Clan Ora - an old Twi'lek bloodline - which lived in Ryloth's capital city of Kala'uun. She was the second child but first daughter of Donn and Vebe Ora, and had an older brother named Nuen, and later a younger sister called Safina. The three siblings grew up on Vao's Street, where the Ora clan owned a couple of adjacent houses that had gradually fused together over the generations. The Ora family had always been a tight unit, and this was no different for Yaneta and her cousins. They grew up often playing and learning together throughout their early childhood, and into their early teens as well.

The Ora family was well known on Vao's Street for their craftsmanship in jewellery making, their artful practice of commerce and trade, as well as their talented street performers bringing Twi'lek dance and song to life. As such, Yaneta helped her parents at their vendor stalls in Kala'uun's market squares already as a young girl, yet started to be actively prepared for a role in the daily commerce and trade of Kala'uun during her early teens. Once she had reached early adolescence, Yaneta's parents started to entrust their oldest daughter with the responsibility of managing a couple of market stalls by herself, which she did with profitable success. Over the years that followed, the young Twi'lek continued to improve upon her skills in bartering and trading, while gaining a reliable source of income for herself and her family.

Throughout her adolescent years, Yaneta had befriended a number of young and idealistic Twi'lek who bore sympathies for the Rebel Alliance and its allies, and their fight against the tyranny of the Galactic Empire and its cabal of associates. Inevitably, these sentiments had also rubbed off on Yaneta, who started to become aware of the state of the galaxy, and the influences that held sway over the wider universe. At the start of Year 23, several of Yaneta's friends had chosen to actually join the fight against the Galactic Empire and the Imperial Union, and one by one they started to leave behind their lives on Ryloth. Many of them tried to convince Yaneta to join them, to pledge herself to a greater ideal, yet initially she refused out of loyalty to her family. However, as time went on, and the arguments to join the fight against the Empire piled on, Yaneta realised that if tyranny was not actively fought and opposed, it would eventually come onto the doorstep of her family as well. This realisation was what made the young Twi'lek decide to join the Rebel Alliance, so that she might help to ensure that her family would never come to live under the yolk of Imperial tyranny. With great pain in her heart, but confident in her desire to protect her loved ones, Yaneta parted ways with her parents, siblings and other family members, and made way for the Rebel Alliance's Academy to begin her new life.

A Rebel and Jedi (Year 23 - Present)

After her arrival at the Academy, Yaneta enrolled within the Rebel Alliance's civilian educational track. In the months that followed, Yaneta proved to be a diligent and dutiful student, and managed to graduate with an Alliance reward for academic excellence. She became a civil engineer, and received her first assignment in the Tythe system shortly thereafter. During her work for the Rebel Alliance in the Tythe system, Yaneta came under the supervision of a member of the Knight of the Rebellion, who quickly picked up on her - until then - hidden Force Sensitivity. She was given the option to continue to keep her gift a secret, or to join the order of Force Sensitives serving the Rebel Alliance. Yaneta chose the latter, and as the Knights of the Rebellion were transitioning into the Jedi Praxeum at that time, she joined its newly reformed ranks as a Jedi Padawan, while continuing her work as a civil engineer for the Alliance.

Personality

Yaneta is a kind-hearted individual by nature, and has a genuine drive to be a help to the people around her. She values honesty, fairness, kindness and loyalty, while shunning apathy, ruthlessness and narrow-mindedness. An optimist in heart and soul, she believes that most people in the galaxy are capable of doing good, yet that too many come under negative influences and are driven to do harm instead. As such, she is convinced that it is the duty of those who choose to do good to help clear the galaxy from those negative influence, and to bring light to the hopeless and despaired. However, she is aware that those negative influences won't always flee from the light on their own, and often will have to be forced to do so, at times by extreme measures. As such, Yaneta tends to avoid violence at all costs, but she will defend what she holds dear or what she believes in if no other alternative remains.

Generally, Yaneta can be considered as pleasant company, even if she tends to be shy and introverted. She is often willing to provide a listening ear to those who need it, or to simply be present with someone for support and comfort, even if it is in companionable silence. The more she comes to trust another person or grows closer to them, the more she opens up and becomes more talkative and sociable. Those who know her closest often remark positively on her jolly sense of humour, and catchy laughter. Similarly, they would say Yaneta shows both her humour and laughter too sparingly, and that she should take things and affairs less seriously. As far too often a joke will go over her lekku, while she takes its meaning too literally.

Yaneta's primary motivator is hope: hope for a better future, hope for a peaceful galaxy, hope for a life free of oppression for her family. As a result, she firmly believes in the cause of the Rebel Alliance and its allies to oppose the tyranny of the Galactic Empire and the Imperial Union. It should therefore come as not surprise that as a Force User, Yaneta aspires to grow ever closer to the Light Side of the Force.

Appearance

Yaneta has a beautiful purple skin complexion with smooth skin and a youthful glow. She stands 1,76 meters tall and has a slim, endomorph physique. Her emerald green eyes complement her natural carnation and she often wears makeup of a similar green hue to underline the colour of her eyes. She has proportionate and symmetrical facial features that seem to align with her inner warmth and kindness, while a soft friendly smile appears to never fade from her lips. Yaneta has a decorative pattern of spherical tattoos running over the length of her lekku, and a traditional Twi'lek tiara handcrafted by her family adorns her head.

Yaneta's usual attire.

Yaneta usually wears a sleeveless tunic of black and brown leathery hide with a pair of black tie-up boots that go beyond the knees. Yet, she appears to have a stylish and diverse wardrobe with attire seemingly tailored to every occasion. Generally speaking, Yaneta carries herself with an air of openness and approachability, and often greets both strangers and friends alike with a kind expression and empathetic gaze.

Powers & Abilities

While still a relative novice in the ways of the Force, Yaneta has become proficient in using the basic abilities most Force Users are familiar with. As she has chosen to be an adherent of the Light Side of the Force, she focused her initial training on mastering the powers of healing and the more mystical aspects of the Force. Yaneta yearns to uncover the deeper truths of the enigmatic power that binds all of the galaxy together, and so she devotes much of her free time to studying the nature of the Force. In this way, she is following the traditions and customs of the Jedi Consulars of old, focusing more on learning the ways of the Force than the martial abilities it grants access to. Most of her knowledge comes from her Master, yet she supplements his lessons with the knowledge and teachings of the Jedi Masters of old, by studying ancient tomes and manuscripts that had been written during the age of the Old Republic.

Despite her focus on the more mystical and scholarly aspects of the Force, Yaneta doesn't neglect her physical and martial training. Currently relying on an old-fashioned vibroblade, she is learning how to defend herself and those around her with non-projectile weapons, while having developed a basic understanding of lightsaber combat. Nonetheless, she still often relies on projectile weaponry, having been trained in its use by martially adept family members on Ryloth.

As she grew up on Ryloth, Yaneta was raised bilingually and was taught both Ryl - the language of the Twi'lek - and Huttese. Later in life, she also had taught herself Galactic Basic and quickly became proficient in its use. As a result, she speaks each language without a discernible accent and can be considered a near-native speaker of each.
