Alienor Rellis, commonly known as 'Linny,' is a padawan of the New Jedi Order.
Picture this: you're a normal teen. Normal-ish. Aside from a deep interest in Galactic history and a popularity problem. All's fine, just dandy, when your friend goes missing. And you're just the type of person who can't sit around and wait for the Marshalls or CorSec to do their jobs, oh no. You've got to be out there, putting yourself in danger because you're the only one who can save them no matter what your common sense, your nerves or your mom is telling you.
Yeah, that's Linny.
The thing is, Linny had a special skill. Not just intelligence, pushiness and a reckless disregard for her own safety. No, there was something different she could do. Sometimes, she was drawn to certain objects. If she picked them up and really concentrated, dug deep within herself to pull out the echo inside the thing, there'd be a flash of white light and instantly, Linny could sense things. Luckily enough, she was able to sense what'd happened to her friend from the bag he'd left behind.
(He was fine, in the end, and eternally grateful to Linny for her sudden 'inspiration.')
Following that, Linny somehow ended up with a reputation for figuring things out, which was fun for a while. Especially when people paid you creds to find their missing pets or stolen wallets. It was fun! It was exciting! It was never, ever going to last.
While she dreamed of becoming a super cool private detective, the word started to get out about what she could do. Much to her annoyance, it turned out that she wasn't singularly gifted at all. Turned out that she could feel the Force and could, potentially, train as a Jedi.
Well, that was a tough one. Do you go off to college like your parents want, or do you become a peacekeeping space wizard? Real, real tough. And when it turned out that hey, you can totally study part time whilst getting your Jedi training, it was enough to mollify her moaning mother. So off Linny went, to become a Jedi and hone her connection with the Force.
Maybe now, finally, she'll feel a little cool.

SKILLS:
Psychometry - Linny possesses an innate proficiency with psychometry. Without any training, she has been able to pull senses, thoughts and sounds from objects with a deep connection to an emotional event. This can result in headaches, however, and she can only use it sparingly.
Intelligence - It is a truth universally acknowledged that nerd girls are gonna nerd. Linny's clever. She knows stuff. Most of it's useless, because nobody goes on to use calculus or an understanding of the Galactic Concordant in their adult lives, but she's developed a sharp mind with the ability to think deeply and quickly.
Calligraphy - Clearly the most important skill for a young Jedi in training, Linny is a decent calligrapher. It started as an activity to work out her anxieties in a more creative way and turned into an actual talent. So when the Sith are at the gates and you desperately need a beautifully-written note telling them to please go away, you know who to call.
WEAKNESSES:
Anxiety - Poor Linny can be awkward as heck, especially around new people. And hey, guess what a Jedi temple has a lot of! She gets worked up easily, drawing everything into herself until it explodes in flashes of anger, panic and crying-in-her-room. One day she'll manage to get through a week without getting utterly worked up about something.
Disregard of Danger - Seems weird, right? Totally worked up about whether people like you or if you'll ever actually like what you see in the mirror, but you'll happily walk down the skeeziest alleyways or into the darkest, dingiest corners of the Industrial District on a hunch. Linny's utter inability to care about her own safety means she's probably going to end up in a bad situation or two.
Untrained - Yeah, she's a padawan. Inexperienced, not used to fighting, probably a bit of a coward deep-down. Aside from her innate psychometry skills, she has very little experience using the Force, aside from some brief attempts at telekinesis.
APPEARANCE:
Linny is a somewhat slight, typical young adult. She has long, somewhat-dark hair, brown eyes and a goofy smile. She hates her nose with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns. Her fashion sense tends towards the 'formless' category, leaving her in lots of sweaters and pullovers. Berets, however, are always stylish no matter what they said at school.
EQUIPMENT:
Coming eventually!
No saber yet.
Junior Detective Kit because of course.
