Personality:
Twins tend to be stark contrasts to each other, and Adril and Livia are no different. One dreams of being a brash adventurer and brave heroine, the other is a budding scholar who prefers books to action and thrill. Serious, studious and introverted, she speaks in a refined, sometimes needlessly complicated manner. She's very kind and polite, but sometimes a bit of a snob, albeit a well-meaning one.
She is a bright girl, especially for someone so young. But she has yet to understand the difference between book learning and wisdom. This is only natural because she's been raised in rather sheltered circumstances. Like Adril, she's been raised on somewhat sanitised, moderately embellished stories of Siobhan and Tegaea's adventures. Their favourite story is about how Siobhan overcame the evil Robot King on Gehenna. However, their interests in it diverge a bit. Whilst Adril loves the thrill and action, Livia is fascinated by the technical details of the Robot King's creations, and cannot help lament the fact that he misused his knowledge for pointless destruction.
Like all siblings, Adril and Livia quarrel a lot. Adril has a tendency of playing practical jokes on her sister. Such as messing with her by replacing book 8 with 10 because Livia is the type to order her books by subject and title. Both love each other, but also bicker a lot. In other words, like typical siblings. Both share a room, but Livia has drawn a line in the middle demarcating her side from Adril's. Livia's side is laid out in perfect rows and extremely orderly, like someone with OCD. By contrast, Adril just iles everything up and when forced shoves her stuff into draws so that nothing appears messy.
COMBAT INFORMATION
- Weapon of Choice: Her wits. She knows that she's small and that in case of danger, it's best to hide, find help and stay the hell away from bad people with weapons.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The story of Livia's conception is somewhat dramatic, though nothing dramatic has actually happened to her. Her biological mother is the former Natoline Kerrigan. Siobhan got to know the rogue Jedi during the short-lived Army of Light, and took her under her wing. They lost touch, but years later Natoline resurfaced on Kaeshana, after being infected with Sith Poison by a Sith Lord and spending some time in the Netherworld.
After she was cured of the poison, she joined Firemane and was later adopted by Siobhan. Sadly, her father was an evil mafia boss, who did not take this well. Especially after Siobhan choked him once for being abusive to his daughter. Moreover, Natoline soon manifested a rather troubled personality.
During the expedition to Tygara, Natoline aided Firemane in battle against pirate hordes. Later, Siobhan saved her from the clutches of an apocalyptic cult on Kaeshana. Both escaped just before the planet was devastated by an asteroid. Then the young woman vanished, before resurfacing again. This time with child, for her father had inflicted a honey trap on her. Reluctantly, Siobhan decided to help the increasingly unstable girl, who was aversely affected by her experiences in the Netherworld. However, shortly after giving birth to triplets, Natoline was exiled for consorting with criminals.
She left two of the twins, Adril and Livia in the Firemane power couple's care, but vanished with the third, Althenea. Siobhan and Natoline met one last time on Kessel, to where the latter had tracked her cruel father. She'd also brought her remaining child to the location. By this point she'd succumbed to madness. The result was a rather chaotic episode that ended with Natoline's father and most of his gang dead, while Natoline vanished with Althenea. All in all, there were many regrets.
Livia knows preciously little about this. Far as she knows, her mother was an acolyte of Firemane's Force-using branch and died nobly. Auntie Siobhan and Auntie Tegaea are looking after her and her twin sister Livia. Thus Livia has been raised in rather sheltered circumstances. Initially she lived on Tygara, till her parents moved to Arkas.
The little one was named after Livia Alcori, Tegaea's mother, who succumbed to a disease and died many years ago. Siobhan never met her wife's mother, but wanted to honour her in this way. Like her namesake - and Tegaea - Livia is not a Force-user. She does not feel an inferiority complex due to not being endowed with preternatural powers, but is a bit driven to prove that she can do just as much as someone who was born a space wizard.
Believing that she failed Natoline, Siobhan is quite strict with the little ones, but still very loving. Outside observers agree that she might be a bit too overprotective. So far Livia has not had much contact with children her age, though this will probably change in the future. Once the twins are old enough, Siobhan intends to send them to a Firemane boot camp so that they can get experience outside of the villa and interact with children who come from less privileged backgrounds.
The two twins have occasionally accompanied their caretakers on business trips. Adril usually finds these extremely boring, but Livia takes more of an interest in them. Sometimes she even sits in on business meetings. She's a common sight at Firemane laboratories and bases, though she's obviously kept away from anything dangerous. Recently, the twins made the acquaintance of [member="Rosa Gunn"] and managed to bond with the kind Rogue Master, in between trolling Siobhan a lot.
