Eden Hills South Australia, firie and koala watch the approaching inferno...

He exists in the actual gameplay just so that I can put him in pretty outfits and make screenshots, so I'm not shipping him with anyone there — it's not even his timeline anyway

Chaf’iri’emea. Insists on keeping her core name, Firie, even after her House casts her out 

She is born with the affliction known as Force sensitivity. It manifests early in her childhood, but she belongs to one of the Ruling Families of the Ascendancy, and privilege saves her from exile. She expects to chemically suppress her affliction for the rest of her life, even though this solution causes unpleasant side effects for her nervous system. 

Firie works extra hard on every little task to compensate for being tainted by the Force. To make matters worse, her sensitivity refuses to stay suppressed, requiring higher doses of medication with each passing year. When Firie turns fourteen, pent-up stress provokes an outburst of her hidden abilities. It is decided that she can’t be controlled anymore. She has to leave.

Her Family knows of a Chiss Jedi and turns to him for help. Master Relu agrees to take Firie in, remembering how difficult it was for him when he was a lone Chiss child in a new unfamiliar world. But Firie isn’t a child and she doesn’t want a caregiver. She is so angry — at her Family for giving up on her, at herself for failing to keep her affliction under control. And she is angry at Master Relu as well because he has no right to presume that he understands what she is going through. She was born into a Ruling Family, she was meant to bring glory to the Ascendancy. Instead, she’s wasting her time with an unconventional Jedi, his human wife, and their half-Chiss children who insult her species by their very existence. And how Firie resents them all. 

What Relu sees is a traumatized child who responds to hurt with anger and stubbornly hides how she suffers from the damage of suppressive chemical treatment. She needs a mentor, but more than that, she needs recovery. And she needs a family, even if she doesn’t want to admit it. Relu is going to give her precisely that. 

Don’t worry, you can pronounce them however you want, most of my OCs wouldn’t even be offended if you get their names wrong! And the majority is pronounced just like it’s written anyway. Here are some that may be confusing though:

Ishalea — ee-sha-le-ah

Xala — ksa-la

Seidala — say-dala

Ateitis — ah-tay-tis

Ra’enar — rah-e-nar

Yla — ee-la

Firie — fi-ri-eh

Xyrha — zeer-ha

Teshe — tesh-eh
