Biography:
Kappel was born into a farming family on the planet of Lazerian IV, where she and her brother, Alekos, would overhear stories from the Lazerian military families. Growing up as farmers, it was assumed that she and Alekos would remain in the profession, but with heads too full of military tales, the siblings could not entertain the thought of never being part of something bigger.
The Kappel siblings made plans to train in the military by the age of 18. At some point in the years leading up to the deadline they had set, Alekos began to feel the pull of something to the old Jedi outpost ruins on the continent of Laz. Realizing he was sensitive to the force, Alekos left Lazerian IV to pursue training. The pull also nagged at Kappel, but desperate to not give up on the plans she and her brother had made together, she did everything in her power to ignore it.
As Kappel neared the age of 18, she came to understand that her idea of the Lazerian military was built on romaticized second-hand tales, and so when the opportunity to enlist arrived, she turned it down. Still, though, she could not shake the desire to be part of a bigger purpose. Scared to choose the wrong path, but unable to withstand the idea of doing nothing, Kappel eventually found herself among the Resistance.
