Early Life
Born as the second daughter of a minor noble in the matriarchal Hapan society, Nakira was destined to join the military. She had no say in this, for her parents only cared about the image of their family. Therefore, the young girl was groomed by her family's servants to eventually enroll into most prestigious military academy of the Hapes Consortium.
The years she spent at the academy were relatively peaceful. Her classes were demanding, the physical training challenging and the mental aspect even more so, but Nakira endured. She proved to be a very capable student, excelling in most of her classes. In fact, she stood out enough to be selected as a candidate for the Hapan Royal Guard, the handpicked security Force of the Queen Mother herself.
After she graduated, Nakira was allowed to join the Hapan Royal Guard. Never had she been more proud of herself. That was, until her first actual mission. Acting on the Queen's orders, her unit had to aid a nearby system in defending the capital against a major uprising. It was during this mission that Nakira first came to realize that she lacked something vital; killer instinct. The three months she spent defending the system traumatized her. The nightly bombing raids, the massacres and the Darkness that surrounded her life all played a part in this.
When she returned from her mission, the young woman immediately resigned. She returned to her ancestral home; a failure and a disgrace to their family. In the two years that followed, Nakira made a futile attempt to regain her family's approval. She tried to learn etiquette, became far more elegant and generally tried to act like a true Lady worthy of her title. But none of it was enough.
Finally realizing that no matter how hard she tried it wouldn't make a difference, Nakira ran away from home. She left Hapes behind her, hoping to find a purpose elsewhere in the galaxy.
During her travels, Nakira came in contact with strangers; magicians who called themselves 'Jedi'. They revealed to her that she possessed abilities beyond those of normal men and women, and invited her to join them on Ajan Kloss. With nowhere else to go, Narika accepted their invitation, officially joining the Jedi Order upon her arrival.
Member of the Jedi Order
Half a year of training on Ajan Kloss brought the Hapan woman to a new chapter of her life. With only the most basic of skills, the Jedi Council deemed her ready to train under a Jedi Knight. Assigned to Jedi Knight Felix Targrin, Nakira traveled to Naboo to meet with her new master. This first contact swiftly turned into a disaster, however, as the two Jedi got caught up in a terrorist attack on Naboo minister Tenara Narde.
- Personality
-
Nakira is a kind a generous person, but never to her own detriment. She has a playful streak and enjoys teasing her friends and acquaintances. While she is a lighthearted individual, Nakira is often the voice of restraint and reason. She is grounded and not one to mince words, preferring to get straight to the point. When difficult subjects are discussed, however, Nakira prefers to beat around the bush or to stay on the sidelines.
Her evasiveness on difficult subjects originates from her brief time as a Hapan Royal Guard. She was often instructed to listen and observe, instead of sharing her opinions on the different subjects. Her short career left her with a lot of strengths as well. She is disciplined, respects her superiors, is great at teamwork and can act well under pressure.
As a Hapan, Narika suffers from extreme night blindness. Because she was present during a bombing run that happened in the middle of the night, Narika is extremely afraid in the dark. She often finds herself paralyzed and unable to move once her eyes fail her, due to the trauma she experienced.
- Abilities & Equipment
-
Nakira's time in the military academy and her short lived career as a Royal Guard have left her with a valuable skill set. Not only has she learned to use her beauty as a Hapan to her advantage, but she is also a capable pilot, engineer and tactician. She has learnt how to lie and hide her true motives, possesses the basic survival skills and is familiar with a multitude of martial arts, such as Teras Käsi and Corellian kickboxing.
In the brief time she has been part of the Jedi Order, Nakira has proven to be a fast learner. She is well on her way with Form I, understands the tenets of the code and has started to grasp the basics of the Force.
