Despite being seen as a impure half breed by those of her native species, Atal is by no means a deformed abomination, despite what her name would imply. Standing at a full height of 6 foot 8 inches, which for her kind is considered to be petite, her body nether the less is of a muscular build as a result of rigorous physical training under the mentoring of the aged Hermit Jedi whom she had grew to see as her foster father.
Due to inheriting her mother's dominant genes Atal, bares the defining features of her species, spouting a pair of swept back horned protrusions extending from her upper cranium, coupled with sharp cheek bone structure and pointed ears that whilst accentuates her feminine body structure also forms part of her specie's natural aerodynamic profile.
The more predominant feature of her appearance is a large set of black feathered wings, spanning a total length of 14 feet to which protrude from a region of her back that lies between her shoulder blades.
Atal possesses a very pale skin complexion, her jet black hair and feathered plumage contrasting against her skin enhancing her pale skinned complexion. The jet black hair is a result of her cross breeding, her dark hair being inherited from her father's side, along with her striking emerald eyes, to which both features do nothing better than make her standout further against the other S'kytri who had chased her into Exile.
Atal is very cold and isolated towards those around her, even her own peers, being brought up as an outcast. She, from an early age grew to know what discrimination meant, from those who she considered to be of her own kind. As a result from years of isolation and ignorance from those around her, Atal has developed a heavily introverted nature, often preferring to keep herself to herself and finding it difficult to reach out for help.
Other characteristics that had developed as a result of her upbringing as a social pariah to which Atal is openly bitter towards her past, she bares little care for reminiscing on her own past, instead concentrates on using what she has at her disposal to focus on the future.
The Force: Atal is very adept with the Force. During her years living with the Hermit Jedi who had given her a home whilst her kin had exiled her, Atal had learned to channel and develop her connection to the Force.
Whilst like other Jedi, she had learnt to use the Force to enhance her speed, strength and stamina; allowing her to increase the speed in which she was able to fly within the air above, in addition to using her own wings as a means of directing the Force, using the gusts of wind from her wings to generate pressure waves of Force energy akin to the Force Push technique.
Atal has also found herself favouring the more nature inclined abilities within the Force, learning to manipulate the growth of plant life to fashion nest like enclosures for shelter, or even reaching out and placating the local fauna to either make them docile or less inclined to attack.
Lightsabers: Under the tutor-ledge of the Hermit Jedi, Atal had learnt to wield a lightsaber, whilst during her training she had not been able to attain or fashion a lightsaber of her own making, following the passing of the Jedi who had became her surrogate father she had since came into possession of his yellow bladed lightsaber.
Born as a result of a chance encounter between a wayward space farer and a S'kytri priestess, the news of the pregnancy did not bode well to those around her, considering the strict laws that the priestesses of the S'kytri culture have to abide by. Not only that but breeding with another species was considered as treason in the eyes of the colony's elders. To which upon the discovery of the priestess, Tal’Miane’s pregnancy after she had concealed the fact for as long as she could, it was ruled that the priestess was to be executed, for not only disobeying the strict laws of the Priestesses but mating with an off worlder. The final ruling was that Tal’Miane was to be executed once the offspring was born, as it was considered that the child the priestess was carrying was the victim of her mother’s crime.
No sooner than an hour after Atal was born, her mother was executed by order of the Elders, to which had left Atal with no real parentage for her upbringing, as a result she was brought up in the temple where her mother had done many years before. Her time within the priestess temple was troublesome to say the least. Being the literal black sheep amongst the flock, being an almost contradicting contrast to those around her, through her not sharing the full natural complexion as the others, through her father’s natural black hair standing out against the natural white of those around her. It was because she held such a unique feature in her appearance the Elders and the High Priestesses inability to accept her as one of their own intensified, seeing Atal as being impure.
Atal’s impurity no matter how much it disgusted those around her, had to be tolerated until the point in which the time that the young woman came to age, as it was contrary to the culture’s laws that she should be exiled or ‘erased’ until the time she became fourteen, being protected by the laws set down by the ancients. To which the Priestesses knuckled down and continued to tutor and educate Atal in the ways of her people, the very people who were literally counting down the time until they could be rid of her.
The time soon came in which the Priestesses were able to permanently banish Atal from their domain, so sooner than a minute had passed on the zero hour of her coming of age, she was chased out of the temple. Forced to flee towards the outlying forests far beyond the colony's territory, the last thing she could remember before blacking out was a shooting pain radiating out from her lower abdomen, her eyes looking down to see a barbed spear had been penetrated her flesh, a parting gift to make it clear that she was to never return.
Waking up after several days of being in a near comatose state the young outcast, found herself laying on an improvised bed within what appeared to be an unnaturally formed structure of vines and branches deep within the forest undergrowth. Atal's initial instinct was to check whether barbed spear was a figment of her imagination, her hands falling down to her abdomen to find that her wound had been treated and bandaged up.
Not long after she had woken from her injuries, her mysterious rescuer made himself known, a Jedi Knight who was living out of the limelight of his fellow Jedi, choosing to take the life of a hermit, than to commit his ageing body to the Path of the Jedi, effectively throwing himself into retirement. Revealing that the moment that he had saw the young outcast fall out of the skies, being pursued by the rest of the clan diving in for the killing the Jedi stepped in to protect the downed woman.
It was for the remainder of Atal's teenage years, that the outcast lived under the protection and guidance of the aging Jedi Knight, who over the passing years taught her to realise her gifts and potential in the Force, guiding her along the path of the Jedi, instructing her to wield his lightsaber. The bond between the hermit Jedi knight and his padawan over the decade that would come would also grow to the point that Atal would see the Jedi as her surrogate father, and he view her as if she were his daughter.
Yet as like all things, time would eventually take its toll on the hermit, his body becoming increasingly frail and unable to hold onto the strength of the Force to sustain his life any longer. Seeing that it would soon come time for him to pass and become one with the Force, he had gifted his adoptive daughter and student with his lightsaber and the location of the Jedi Temple on the jungle world of Ajan Kloss, imploring her that she was ready to walk the path of the Jedi.
