Astra Ara-Nur is a Hapan female Jedi Knight from Hapes in the Hapes Consortium. She was originally raised on Dathomir as a Nightsister before being rescued by the Jedi Order and converted. Since then, she has devoted herself to her duties and is seen as one of the more rigid members of the Order.

Astra Ara-Nur's family were political enemies of the Queen Mother of Hapes, forcing them to seek refuge elsewhere in the galaxy. Because their daughter exhibited strange abilities, they left her with a nomadic tribe of Nightsisters on Dathomir, hoping that the similarly matriarchal tribe would raise her to be a powerful witch. Astra indeed showed much promise, but her coven was at war with other mountainous covens on the planet.

One night, her coven fell under attack while they slept and were it not for Astra's adoptive mother and her quick thinking, she too would have been killed in the onslaught. Instead, a young Astra escaped the carnage only to later be whisked away yet again. This time to Ajan Kloss, where her talents continued to be nurtured. Having lost two families, and determined not to lose another, Astra devoted herself to being a model Jedi, taking the central tenets of the Order to heart.

As she rose through the ranks, she became considered a paragon of Jedi behavior: control emotions and wise counsel. However, by the time she was knighted, some also began to see her as one of the more rigid members of the Order, clinging to tradition moreso than the new philosophies the Order had embraced. This led some Jedi to consider her an outsider, while others who knew her more intimately, saw her for the kind heart she possessed.

PERSONALITY & APPEARANCE

giphy.gif
Astra Ara-Nur is a Hapan woman of average height, with long, wavy blonde hair and stony brown eyes. In full Jedi attire, she wears tan and white tunics and robes, and her head is adorned with a golden circlet—the only thing remaining of her original Hapan family. She can also occasionally be seen in form-fitting Jedi armor.

Her most striking quality is the cool confidence that infuses every word she speaks and every move she makes. Even when stacked against the worst odds, Astra is known to keep her cool and remain in control of her emotions. Among her fellow Jedi, she is also known for her dry sense of sarcasm, which pepper throughout any conversation she has. In battle, she has little bravado, and is not the type to speak when fighting, instead dedicating herself to ending the bout as quickly as possible.

As a Jedi Knight, Astra is known to do her duty. While younger Jedi tend to be suspicious of the Jedi Council and overly critical, Astra obeys the Council's orders as she believes they are ultimately guided by the Force. She is fiercely dedicated to protecting the innocent and stopping the Sith, viewing the Sith Empire as the greatest threat to her latest family, and thus worthy of destruction. Her Jedi mentors have cited her attachment to the Order as a family unit as being potentially problematic, but Astra has shown little willingness to let the concept go.

ABILITIES & EQUIPMENT

Astra Ara-Nur is a Force user of Knight-level calibre. She has all of the skills and abilities commonly found among the Jedi Order and a few of her own. Thanks to her Nightsister origins, Astra has some skill using Force magicks, though she has given this magick a Light tint, typically using it to manifest energy constructs that can be used as tools and weapons.

Above all, though, Astra is a warrior who excels in the use of her lightsabers. She wields two that are highly stylized in the form of the archaic High Republic Era hilts that were once popular among the ancient Jedi Order. The blade of her original lightsaber is gold, while her second blade, more commonly used, is green. She is skilled enough to fight with one of them in hand, or both, depending on the needs of the battle ahead of her. Use of her golden lightsaber typically indicates her seriousness in a fight.

She is also a seasoned pilot thanks to her Jedi training. However, rather than piloting a starfighter like most Jedi, Astra elects to travel in a J-type 427 Nubian starship she refers to as the Star Home.
