General Information: Name: Seraya Ashyra Age: 25 standard years Species: Human Gender: Female (she/her) Affiliation: Jedi Order Rank: Jedi Knight Former Master: Jedi Master Tholme Fighting Style: Form IV - Ataru (acrobatic combat) Weapon: Blue double-bladed lightsaber (saberstaff) Appearance: Seraya Ashyra stands tall and athletic, her posture balanced and poised like a coiled spring ready to move. Years of acrobatic training have given her a powerful build, every motion efficient and controlled. When she moves in combat, it resembles fluid dance more than traditional swordplay. Her dark hair is usually tied back in a high, practical knot, though loose strands sometimes escape during training or battle. Her eyes are a clear, striking blue, focused and alert, often scanning her surroundings even when she appears calm. Her most distinctive feature is the set of tribal tattoos that mark her body. The markings originate from the culture she was born into before being taken to the Jedi Temple. The visible facial marking is simple yet striking: a blue line running across the bridge of her nose beneath both eyes, with short vertical lines descending beneath each eye. The tattoos continue beneath the robes across her arms, shoulders, back, torso and legs, geometric patterns that once carried spiritual meaning within her tribe. The Jedi allowed her to keep them, honoring her past rather than erasing it. She wears a dark blue Jedi tunic beneath traditional grey robes, with a sturdy brown belt and boots suited for agile movement. Her lightsaber - a blue saberstaff - hangs at her belt when not in use. Clothing & Equipment: Jedi Robes: Grey outer robes over a dark blue tunic that reflects both practicality and her personal preference. Double-Bladed Lightsaber: A blue saberstaff designed for fast combat and acrobatic strikes. It's also dual-phase, which means she can activate only one blade out of one end of the hilt at a time, or both at the same time. Utility Belt: Standard Jedi equipment including comlink, ration capsules, and small tools. Background: Seraya Ashyra was born on a remote, unnamed tribal world whose cultures remained largely untouched by the Republic. Her people lived in scattered clans guided by oral tradition, ritual markings, and ancestral stories. It is unknown what humans are doing on such a planet, with such a primitive but rich culture. Her earliest memories are fragmented. Flashes of fire. The smell of burning wood and flesh. The crackling roar of lightning. When she was about five years old, her tribe was conquered by a warlord who wielded what her people believed to be sorcery. In truth, the attacker was a dark side adept, using the Force to dominate the world. Seraya witnessed the moment her parents, the chieftess and a consort, died - struck down by arcs of Force lightning. The memory never fully faded. A Jedi investigating disturbances in the Force arrived not long after the conquest. Sensing the child’s strong connection to the Force, he brought her to Coruscant and delivered her to the Jedi Temple. That Jedi was Master Tholme. Years later, when Seraya had grown into a promising student, Tholme chose her as his Padawan. Though known for his calm and impassive demeanor, Tholme trained Seraya with stern discipline and quiet care. His teaching style was demanding but steady, shaping her into a focused and resilient Jedi. To Seraya, Tholme became the closest thing to family she had left. During her years as a Padawan she also developed a friendship with Quinlan Vos, another of Tholme’s former students and his previous Padawan. Quinlan’s unconventional thinking often balanced Seraya’s more disciplined nature, and their sparring sessions were known to be spectacularly energetic. Seraya eventually completed her trials and became a Jedi Knight. Despite her success, one part of the Jedi Code has always troubled her: "There is no death, there is the Force." Seraya believes in the Jedi Order. But she cannot forget the night she saw death with her own eyes. Personality Traits: Core Traits: Disciplined: Years of strict training under Master Tholme have made her focused and controlled. Protective: Seraya instinctively places herself between danger and others. Determined: Once she commits to a task, she rarely abandons it. Inner Traits: Haunted by Memory: The night her tribe was destroyed and her parents murdered still lingers in her mind. Fear of Failure: She worries that if she is not strong enough, people she cares about will die. Quiet Compassion: Beneath her disciplined exterior she cares deeply about others. Situational Traits: Highly Agile Fighter: Her Ataru style makes her extremely mobile and unpredictable in combat. Emotionally Guarded: She does not easily speak about her past. Fierce Loyalty: Once someone earns her trust, she protects them with unwavering dedication. Abilities: Seraya has a strong natural connection to the Force, particularly in areas that enhance mobility and instinctive reactions. She excels in: Force-assisted acrobatics, Enhanced reflexes and agility, Battle precognition, Force pushes and leaps. Her fighting style combines Form IV - Ataru with the rotational momentum of her double-bladed lightsaber, allowing her to attack from unexpected angles and maintain constant motion in battle. Demeanor and Speech: Seraya tends to speak calmly and directly, rarely raising her voice. Her words are thoughtful and measured, reflecting the discipline instilled by Master Tholme. When relaxed around friends, especially those she trusts like fellow Jedi, her tone becomes warmer and occasionally playful. In tense situations she becomes extremely focused, her voice sharpening into concise instructions. Outside of missions and training, Seraya is known within the Jedi Temple for an unexpected hobby: painting. Using simple pigments and brushes, she creates quiet landscapes, starfields, and abstract patterns inspired by her tribal heritage and her experiences in the Force. She rarely speaks about the paintings herself, but other Jedi have noticed her talent. For Seraya, painting is not merely art - it is a form of meditation. When she paints, she allows the Force to guide the motion of her hands, letting color and shape flow naturally. It is one of the few moments when her mind becomes completely still. Short Tag: A disciplined Jedi Knight marked by tribal tattoos and a haunted past, Seraya Ashyra fights with acrobatic precision and quiet determination - striving to protect others from the kind of loss she once endured.
