HAIR: Dark brown
SKIN: Milky-White/Fair
FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes
Reserved, introverted, but highly observant. Sees beyond the functional to understand symbolic meanings. Her empathetic nature has made her highly aware of how her actions and gestures will be taken. This sensitive nature makes her crave harmony and peace, though these are things that have long eluded her. As a young child she followed her mother, and internalized those softer values. When she was taken by her Father she assimilated his values and traits as well, tapping into dormant aspects of her personality that brought out her headstrong, willful and hot-temperament - creating a more complex identity and galactic view. Although she is primarily driven by the future, when she is put under stress she can get wrapped up in her immediate problems. Alternatively, she transitions well from one environment to another, and rarely reflects back on how different she was living before. Her focus is always on where she is going, and seeing her personal goals through.
The Force Is A Tool
And it only has one purpose...however she wills it.
Knock-Down, Drag-Out, Brawler
She is unassuming, and often underestimated, but Alen taught her well on how to hold her ground.
Noble NoseGrowing up among the noble Na'varro brood on Ascension afforded her a few advantages, including a top-notch education.
Whose Side Am I On?
Struggles between the light side and the dark.
Can't Hear Myself Think!
Highly sensitive to the energy and the emotions of the people around her.
Craves Connection
Lacking largely in love and affection as a child, save for the short time she was with her mother, Alida deeply craves purpose, meaning, and love, but has no reference on how to actually keep any type of relationship.
Willfully Ignorant
Determined to do as she wants, follow what she believes, and refuses any ideal that doesn't line up with her own.
Run, Run, Lost Girl
Tries desperately to do what she believes is right, but has largely lost sight of what that is.
Those Who Crave Power
Has an ambitious, and sometimes violent nature. She seems likewise attracted to those who seem to have direction.
Described by those who know her as being a dark beauty, Alida possesses very little characteristics of her Father's bloodline. Her hair is thick and dark, with large almond-shaped brown eyes and a long oval face. Her skin is pale and spattered with freckles. As a child she was very plain, skinny, and awkward, with wild features that she eventually grew into.
Alida was born the illegitimate daughter of a young Alen Na'varro and a barmaid, named Damita. Following the unexpected death of her mother, she was taken to Ascension by Alen to be raised amongst her half siblings, though her position in the family was made clearly known when the Na'varro name, and certain privileges that Alen's true born children enjoyed, were denied to her.
She felt this first rejection keenly, one she'd never known from her Mother, and although she eventually grew to love her half-siblings, she never quit viewing them as her rivals; always working twice as hard as the others to win the approval of their Father. Hoping, through all of her efforts, that he would one day see her worth.
But a girls dreams are made to be broken.
When the reckoning came for the Na'varro's, and Alen's true born children and wife were murdered, he and Alida fled through a wormhole that transported them a thousand years into the future.
Now his only kin, proven to be strongest of the brood... surely he would pass on his legacy to her. Surely, he would see that the daughter who sat at his feet, soaked in every lesson he ever gave, who survived, was finally worthy of his legacy.
It was not to be.
Instead, he cloned a new daughter for himself, in his own image... Laura.
Bitterness rooted itself deep in her heart and grew, further troubling the already rocky relationship between them. His defection to the light was the straw that broke the camels back, and Alida made the sole decision to leave and find something or someone, that would fill the gaping hole in her heart.
But the shadows of her past, and all of her disappointments, were never far behind.
