BIOGRAPHY
Revora or 'Revy' as she'll often prefer to be called was a Cathar that was part of a rather interesting family. A couple generations ago the Musanas were a family that fled to the planet of Concord Dawn as refugees fleeing a genocide that had taken place on their prior planet. They kept their original family name as a middle name to honor their prior past and history but they grew deeply entrenched into Madalorian culture. Serving in the military and fighting for the Mandalorian cause was upheld as repaying the salvation they were granted. Very quickly a proud lineage of warriors emerged from the family with tales of exploits and victories being passed down.
Revora is one of the latest generation. Growing up in a family that primarily consisted of her Father and her Brother. Her father was a proud warrior that had been injured in combat that resulted in permanent damage to the nerves in his spinal cord and severe arthritis in his arms due to his ligaments being destroyed. Meaning that he is in constant pain and requires assistance to function in daily life. This is often done with aide of her younger brother (age 19) who unfortunately suffered from a rare genetic condition that caused deformities in his white blood cells resulting in a gravely weakened immune system. Revora's mother is absent due to dying from complications from the birth of her Brother.
As a result Revora ended up growing up fast as she often had to serve as caretaker for both her Father and brother. Revora often having to be concerned from a young age with serious adult problems like growing medical expenses, mounting debt and a host of near death scares. Several times throughout Revora's life she witnessed moments where she was convinced she was about to lose another member of her family. It made training difficult and often lead to her getting into trouble with the law when she became desperate enough to try to steal to pay the bills that seemed to hang over her head. Everytime the Cathar got in trouble it merely served as another lesson for how to not get caught.
Revy did all of this purely to support her family which meant the world to her despite the sometimes strained nature. Her father always looked down on her for the trouble she got into. She also often held doubts and asked difficult questions about the Mandalorian religion, which caused many heated arguments with her Father. The worst being when Revy asked her father how he became a supposed slave to Aarasuum if he devoted his life to following the path of Kad Ha'rangir. Despite this she still valued family above all else and would repeatedly sacrifice her own well-being for them. Despite the differences between Revy and her father she always maintained a tight relationship with her Brother (or 'littleman' as she regularly called him even when he started to get taller than her). She became very protective and often would defend his honor or fight anyone that dared mess with him.
When Revy finally completed her training and reached Adulthood she would take this opportunity to branch out. She turned to smuggling as a quick reliable source of good income. Mos Eisely space port on Tatooine almost becoming a second home for her. Most of the money she earned going back to her family in order to maintain a safety net for them and support them. During this period her family would relocate to Concordia. Revy also had another motive for becoming a smuggler, it meant that she spent a large amount of time away from her family. Revora noticed how much her brother was taking after her, Revy was growing more terrified and anxious over the thought of her brother ending up just like her, except now able to be easily exposed to a deadly disease or any wound turning into a deadly infection. Revy thought that by isolating herself she would be further protecting them.
When open war broke out between the Sith and Mandalorians Revora opted to stay out of the fighting knowing that fighting the empire would exponentially increase her chances of dying and that if she did her family may have no one that could support them. She faced much criticism from it often being labeled a coward by her Father even though in her eyes she was taking another move to protect them. Still with the Mandalorian war effort succeeding beyond anyone's imagination Revy was sure that her family would be safe in the Mandalore system.
When the news of the Sith Empire destroying Mandalore and by extension Concordia reached Revy it nearly destroyed her, thoughts immediately went to that of her family almost sure they were dead. She would then learn that they did survive both due to her father and brother's valiant efforts to support the Mandalorian troops and through the actions of Burkhart Kelborn who's fleet sacrificed itself to allow forces on Concordia to retreat. Her father would be put into a comatose state and her brother would get a fast spreading infection that would have him hospitalized from the injuries they sustained, but they had a chance to live vs none at all. Now with a fire ignited under the Smuggling Cathar and a feeling of having been now indebted to clan Kelborn for saving her family she now became an active part of the war, eager to see the Sith Empire burn like they burned Mandalore.

Everything changed when the empire attacked
When the news of the Sith Empire destroying Mandalore and by extension Concordia reached Revy it nearly destroyed her, thoughts immediately went to that of her family almost sure they were dead. She would then learn that they did survive both due to her father and brother's valiant efforts to support the Mandalorian troops and through the actions of Burkhart Kelborn who's fleet sacrificed itself to allow forces on Concordia to retreat. Her father would be put into a comatose state and her brother would get a fast spreading infection that would have him hospitalized from the injuries they sustained, but they had a chance to live vs none at all. Now with a fire ignited under the Smuggling Cathar and a feeling of having been now indebted to clan Kelborn for saving her family she now became an active part of the war, eager to see the Sith Empire burn like they burned Mandalore.
Personality
There are two predominant sides to Revora. There's the cold quiet Mandalorian typically seen among all of Clan Kelborn. Nonchalant, professional and when blasters are drawn capable of dishing out death without much a thought. This is the face most saw as she had to adapt this mentality to fit in with her clan's beliefs of stoicism and self-reliance. Initially this was mainly a facade to avoid being ostracized but now it's just as normal as choosing what outfit blends best with the environment.
If one manages to befriend or become respected by Revy they will soon start to see a very different person come out. A passionate caring person, that will often put the needs of others over herself. They will discover that she has a large amount of wit, sarcasm and gallows humor to dole out. The strict parade stances and military demeanor gets replaced with a much more relaxed, easygoing attitude. They will also find out that the Cathar has a deep rage that while normally is dormant, will rear it's head should anything threaten those she considers as part of her family.
When it comes to opinions of religion the Cathar is still skeptical of the espoused Mandalorian viewpoint. Especially as she encountered those outside the closed fanatical sphere of the Mandalore system. She still follows the Canons of Honor, but wonders about the nature and beliefs of the Force and is actually really curious of other viewpoints on how the universe works. This makes her much more tolerant of Force sensitives though a deep hate of the Sith will likely always remain in her especially after their attack on Mandalore.
However the Cathar struggles with stress as she placed herself on a high pedestal. She never stopped looking out for her family and has a regular paranoia about their well being. She never stops to take care of herself, she never considers her personal problems as worth dealing with. She is overprotective of her brother, which while understandable could also result in her smothering his freedom to make decisions for himself.
Skills
Like many Mandalorians Revy has developed a particular set of skills. She is an exceptional marksman with both rifles and pistols. Has an aptitude for the handling and care of explosives, including the knowledge for making IEDs. She was picked up on how to pilot ships and pull evasive manuevers though if you ask her she would prefer to be in the gunner's seat. Of course being a Kelborn she has developed a knowledge of military tatics from standard small unit tactics to guerrilla warfare.
Attributes
Loyalty: Revy will display fierce loyalty to anyone that does her and her family right. She'll often be the first one to come help someone out in trouble in her circle of people and is always willing to put her on troubles aside for someone else.
Off the Books: Her smuggling and thieving past meant she has become quite acute with hiding her tracks and often times keeps activities or opinions that may be negatively looked upon hidden and to herself.
Death Avoidant: With the constant worry that if she dies there will be no one to take care of her family the Mandalorian can be quite cautious, often times trying to frame engagements in a way that optimizes the survival of both her and anyone in her command. The Mandalorian can show hesitation with performing anything that she considers too risky.
