introducing ELIF NATTA α» an original character of the ST.AR WA.RS universeΒ
you were born to PRIVILEGE, the daughter of a diplomat and her doctor on the lush lands ofΒ coruscant. an only child, you wanted for nothing, except perhaps more of your parentsβ TIME, but that time you did have together was always filled with LOVE. when you were eleven, thatβs when everything CHANGED.
your mother, she was important. people looked UP to her. she took this seriously, and when darkness began to spread she immediately lifted her light in defense. your father, he just wanted to find a place to hide. you saw them argue, the heat of their words seared into your memory, though you still donβt know who was right in the end. when their paths diverged, you watched your mother leave your vision for the LAST time, and soon after left your home forever.Β
it was good with your father, for a while. it felt like an ADVENTURE, the two of you traveling the verse together. but you could SENSE it, sometimes, that he was no longer whole. you wanted to help, but didnβt know how.Β
on a rainy day in takodana, you learn of your motherβs DEATH. she was a force of light to the END. your world view shifts as you begin to understand the darkness at work. you begin to feel that same hurt you see in your fatherβs eyes every day. but before it swallows you whole, fate intervenes.
thereβs an attack in the village that you might call your current home, if you still believed in those. countless killed, many taken, even more injured. your father, though hesitant, canβt in the end resist offering his healing hands to those in NEED. thatβs when they arrive. the resistance. you feel sensations youβd thought long gone, creep back into your heart.Β
when they attempt to recruit your fatherβs useful skill to the cause, you quickly JOIN the chorus of persuasion. eventually, he relents, perhaps seeing his wifeβs light in your eyes for the first time in ages.
with this ragtag collection of fighters and survivors, you start to understand again, that long forgotten notion of HOME. even your fatherβs broken soul begins to heal, glad to be of service to so many. you stay close to him when you can, learning the basics of keeping folk alive because hey, you want to be useful somehow.
years pass. youβve grown and so has the BATTLE. your lifeβs nowhere near perfect, but itβs begun to truly feel like yours again. then, again, it happens.
one day, your father ventures into the field, and he never comes back.Β
so there you are, alone - only, you realize youβre not. your purpose grows STRONGER. you start to take on some of your fatherβs workload, because face it, the options are slim for both you and them. now more than ever, you are with the REBELLION. you will win.
