Kassandra Aetos (Born Kassandra Zalku), often going by simply Kassie, is a force sensitive Zeltron Mandalorian mercenary, born Day 39 in the Year -7 on Melida/Daan to Tyria & Shalo Zalku. While her occupation takes her far into the expansive reaches of the galaxy, she has come to find the planet of Ord Cantrell to be the closest tangible place to call home. She primarily works on retainer as a bounty hunter in affiliation with Cantrell Conglomerate, though she has been known on occasion to take a variety of different jobs with a number of other associations.

After coming into contact with the Mando'an Burun Ukoro, Kassandra eventually came to embrace the lifestyle and ways of the Mandalorians and is currently the Aliit'alor of the Aliit Aetos.

Description

Appearance

As a Zeltron, Kassandra shares the common physical traits found amongst her race, most notably the pinkish hue to her skin and her long Aegean blue hair, which she can normally be found to have tied back while on assignment for practicality purposes, though she has been spotted to wear it free flowing on rare occasions. Kassandra stands at 177cm, which is quite a common height for the female members of her race, with a stocky and well toned figure due to the rigorous physical requirements of the mercenary lifestyle. Her eyes are a rather uncommon light hazel that lay in contrast to her skin and hair, often causing them to stand out. Kassandra is often described by others as having a stern and serious looking face, mainly attributed to her strong jawline and strong facial features.

Despite her years of being a mercenary, Kassandra could be considered rather lucky in that she has managed to avoid receiving any deep or noticeable scars, though her skin is speckled in smaller scuffs and healed wounds upon closer inspection. While her skin is normally a mild pinkish colour, it becomes visibly more saturated in hue when placed under stress or more negative mental states. Running along the breadth of her back is a large tattoo she received to show her alignment and devotion to her clan which displays the Aetos sigil; a Mythosaur skull under a spearhead, carried upon the wings of the Aetos.

Personality

"I always finish what I've started" - A common catchphrase of Kassandra

Kassandra's personality is somewhat malleable, but as a mercenary, Kassandra originally had one prime goal - credits. Willing to go to extreme lengths to earn it, Kassandra had no qualms about choosing sides when the time was needed. Kassandra is also known to be impatient and quick to anger at times, and can frequently intimidate those who've angered her, which more often than not works to her advantage. Despite the lengths she would go to achieve her goals as a mercenary, Kassandra does still live by a code of honour that she holds dear and refuses to bend on for any job, one of which is her ardent refusal to bring harm to children. This code of honour she lives by has only being strengthened upon her transition to the Mandalorian way of life, going as far as to evolve her clan teachings around the core value of honour and walking the honourable path.

In more casual settings, Kassandra has been known to deviate from her relatively serious demeanour when found to be in close company with her companions, showing a more caring and easy going side of herself, and on rare occasion has been known to have crack the odd joke. She is known to care deeply for those who she considers family, going as far as to extend the same mindset towards protecting them as she would to her life as a mercenary.

Biography

Early Life

Kassandra was born in a small medical clinic in the suburbs of the capital city Zehava on Melida/Daan to parents Tyria and Shalo Zalku. While the facility was to be considered less than adequate at providing sufficient medical care, the birth proceeded without complications and the new family returned home days later with their new child. The years to follow during her infancy went by relatively normally, her father working as a scrapper brought home a mediocre wage which provided the family with enough to get by and allow the family the necessities of life, although luxuries were far and few. After the birth of her daughter, Tyria opted to stay at home to properly care for Kassandra while she grew to an age she could start to care for herself.

Coming from a family in relative poverty, Kassandras parents were unable to afford to send her to a communal school once she reached the age she could apply, due to this she was mostly home tutored by her mother until around the age of twelve, learning core values and necessary education so that she could survive on her own, including mathematics, reading and writing, and the current political state of play for the galaxy. During this time she also learned about her heritage as a Zeltron, and would often be serenaded with lavish stories about the famed idyllic planet of Zeltros.

Once Kassandra had reached the age of twelve her fathers health had deteriorated to some degree after a violent virus ravaged the poorer parts of the city one winter. Unable to work the family were able to survive off of saved up credits for a few weeks to follow, but with Shalo’s health still not improving, leaving the man bedridden the family eventually resorted to selling personal trinkets or appliances they didn’t consider a necessity, including an R3 astromech droid that the family had grown particularly fond off, this allowed the family to survive for a few more weeks on the credits it provided but it became clear that with Shalo’s health refusing to improve they would need to figure out a more permanent solution or they would lose their housing. Despite her young age, Kassandra showed a particularly strong physical strength and decided she would help provide for the family, taking her fathers place at the local scrappers guild to continue a steady income of credits to the household. This continued for nearly a year until Shalo’s eventual recovery from his ailments, after which he returned to work alongside Kassandra, who decided to stay in employment despite her fathers return.
