PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Anneliese is tanned from the many hours spent outdoors, and her face is freckled from the many kisses she has received from the sun. Overall her physique is toned and very athletic, thanks in large part to the large metabolism that it takes to keep this stick of dynamite running. The two most notable features that no one can ever overlook with this young woman are her prominent canine teeth which are frequently seen due to how much she smiles and her unruly hair — a two toned red and orange often seems to have a mind of its own.

HISTORY
Anneliese: The Last Hope of the Kaohal Clan
Anneliese, a Jedi Padawan, stands as the last beacon of hope for the Kaohal Clan, a lineage marred by tragedy and mystery. Born into a family cursed by an enigmatic entity known only as the Nameless One, Anneliese’s life has been a relentless struggle against darkness. Her journey is not just a tale of survival but also one of resilience, courage, and the unyielding spirit of a true Jedi. Unbeknownst to Anneliese, her life before and after her birth were overshadowed by the ominous presence of the Nameless One, a curse that has plagued her bloodline for generations. This malevolent entity brought untold suffering to her family, leaving Anneliese as the sole survivor.
Training as a Jedi Padawan -- Early Life
Anneliese was discovered by the Jedi of the Sliver Rest on Kashyyyk, left on the doorstep. A red-headed ball of joy to be raised by the Jedi Order and taken in as a Padawan. From a young age, Anneliese exhibited a strong affinity for the Force. Her natural abilities were evident, but her origins as a Gurlanin often led to her being overlooked and misunderstood by her peers and mentors within the Jedi Order. Despite her dedication and rigorous training, she struggled to find acceptance and a sense of belonging. Her shapeshifting abilities, while remarkable, set her apart in ways that made integration difficult. On her fourteenth birthday, she would meet with a Master who took an extreme interest in the young Padawan -- not just for her skill, but for her tenacity and perserverance, however, the victory would be short lived – war on the horizon threatened to steal the new found joy and bliss away from her. Thrown into war after only a few months as a newly appointed Padawan Apprentice, Anneliese’s life took a dramatic turn during the Battle of Tython. This pivotal conflict was a test of her skills and her resolve. In the heat of battle, she faced a Sith acolyte, a confrontation that would leave her emotionally scarred. The intensity of the fight and the necessity of taking a life weighed heavily on her conscience. This experience was a harsh introduction to the brutal realities of war and the moral complexities of being a Jedi.
Emotional Aftermath
The aftermath of the Battle of Tython was a period of deep introspection and emotional turmoil for Anneliese. The act of taking a life, even in self-defense, conflicted with her strong connection to the Light. She grappled with feelings of guilt and isolation, questioning her place within the Jedi Order and her own identity. This period of vulnerability was crucial in shaping her character and her understanding of the Force. Recognizing her potential and the need for a fresh start, the Jedi Council decided to transfer Anneliese to a new order – this is where she found a new start. New friends, a new Master, and the one who would become the love of her life.
A New Start -- The NJO
Her journey at the New Jedi Order (NJO) begins with a mix of excitement and trepidation. After the harrowing events on Tython, she carries the weight of her past, unsure if she truly belongs among the Jedi. Her doubts are palpable, but so is her determination to find her place. Valery Noble, the GrandMaster of the NJO, recognizes something special in her. Valery's wisdom and experience allow her to see beyond the surface, noticing the tenacity, honesty, and grit that define her. When Valery selects her for a welcome mission, it's both a test and an opportunity. Throughout the mission, she proves her worth, showing courage and resourcefulness. By the end, Valery offers her the chance to become her Padawan, a moment that fills her with a mix of pride and apprehension.
The next step in her journey is to find the heart of her lightsaber: her crystal. This quest takes her to the crystal caves, a place known for its trials. The caves are not just a physical challenge but a spiritual one. They test her heart, mind, and resolve, forcing her to confront her fears and the trauma of Tython. Each step in the cave is a step towards healing, and when she finally finds her crystal, it shines as bright as the mourning sun, a yellow beacon of hope and renewal.
During her time at the NJO, she forms bonds with fellow Padawans, finding friendship and camaraderie that help her feel less alone. Among these new friends is Roman, a boy she had admired from afar. Their relationship blossoms slowly and eventually into a courtship, built on mutual respect and shared experiences. As they grow closer, they begin to uncover the mysteries of her past together, piecing together the fragments of her history and understanding the forces that shaped her.

RELATIONSHIPS
- Master
Valery Noble
~ Absolutely befuddled that Valery Noble would pick her to become Padawan, Anneliese is beyond grateful for the opportunity to study under such a renowned and experienced Jedi Master. Valery embodies, in Anneliese's eyes what it means to be Jedi, and she strives everyday to make her Master proud, and constantly thanks her for the adventure that they've begun together. -
Roman Vossari
-- Secretly admired from afar for sometime, the two have begun a journey together, one of becoming known to each other as time begins to pass. Roman is a tether for Annie at times, helping to ground the wildfire of a person she is, and slowing her down -- making her process things. Complimenting each other as opposites, the two are often found in close proximity to one another whenever they are able -- attracted to each other like magnets.
-
Tycho Arak
- Tycho is the father figure Anneliese lacked her whole life. Raised through strife -- he shares a unique perspective and bond with young Anneliese. Always pushing her to do better and knowing what she's capable of, he always has the best in mind for his fiery daughter. -
Caelan Valoren
- A young prince, a young boy that Anneliese came across by sheer happenstance and helped get to safety. From the first moment she helped him, a part of her heart was dedicated to him. Like the little brother she never had, Annie is fiercely protective of him. Always helping to push him on for success, or cheering him on when he's down -- Anneliese loves the title, Big Sis.

NOTABLE QUOTES
"On the night of the Red Moon, when the sky bleeds crimson and shadows dance in the twilight, the Nameless One shall rise. From the depths of forgotten realms, he will emerge, cloaked in mystery and bound by fate. The stars will tremble, and the earth will whisper secrets long buried. In this hour of dread, a lone figure shall she stand, a flickering light against the consuming darkness. With a heart scarred by the fires of despair with a soul unyielding, she will confront the Nameless One. Bound by blood, her destiny intertwined with the darkest of fates, she will face the ultimate trial. The clash of destinies will reverberate through the void, and the outcome will carve the fate of all worlds."
Seek the answer in the shadows cast,
Where light and dark entwine at last.
A name forgotten, a fate concealed,
In blood and fire, truth revealed.
Should she falter, darkness shall reign,
The Nameless One's power unchained.
Worlds will crumble, hope will fade,
In eternal night, all will be laid.
~ The Koahal Lineage Prophecy
