A young adult woman with an incredibly smaller body than would be expected for her species and her position. She is barely 5' 3" and weighs maybe 100 pounds, despite that she is a very athletically potent woman. Her agility and flexibility make her extremely capable at doing great feats of athleticism that would otherwise be improbable or impossible. She is capable of contorting almost every joint and muscle in her body to almost ANY angular degree. She has devoted much of her physical training learning to enhance and increase her own natural physical abilities, thus giving her an edge no matter a situation. She has dark chocolate brown hair and deep green-grey eyes that are a little unnatural for a Mirialan, but nonetheless beautiful against her soft tan, human-like, skin.
She has trained in many martial arts inherent to the Jedi Order including some that aren't even used anymore. She takes extremely good care of her body and has perfect hygiene for her gender and species. Whenever she isn't learning about some species' culture or studying some ancient text from beyond millennium, she spends it learning more combat techniques and understanding those techniques from many perspectives. However, despite this, she is not a combat-oriented person. She will never use violence till it is absolutely 100% inevitable.
In tradition with being a Mirialan, Nymara has a specific circular geometric on facial and body tattoos which symbolizes the balance and neutrality of the original Je'daii Order which all Force-users in this time have come from inevitably. She has two scars upon her stomach and chest created from training at such a young age in combat that simply never properly healed. Otherwise, she has no other markings, tattoos, piercings or any other form of bodily design.

PERSONALITY
As a Mirialan, she is a very proud and patriotic member of her species. She protects other Mirialan almost to the point of disregard for her own mission, objectives and purpose as a Jedi. She treats all Mirialan with respect and doesn't think less of them for any reason. She uses every aspect of her Mirialan heritage in her own viewpoints of the Jedi Order, despite that she has had so little of it in growing up since she spent almost her entire life within the Order.
As a Jedi, she is every bit of a Jedi in all aspects of her life as she is whilst representing the Order. She is wise beyond her years, pragmatic, selfless, caring and loving to an extreme. She cares little for relationships, for love in a relationship, material possessions and the idea that she is better than anyone. She believes wholly and completely in the Jedi Order, but also understands that one must incorporate additional beliefs into it to be more realistic. She is more than aware that the Order's tenets do not always work in reality and that one must be aware of the situation at all times to make the most of it.
As a woman, she is unexperienced, unaware and doesn't really care about relationships, sex or love. She has certainly thought about love and having a family, especially considering her species has a much smaller population than most species in the galaxy. She desires and seeks friends, always wanting to make everyone happy and feel loved. She is very easy to make a friend of and has very little in the way of judgement or close-mindedness. Unlike most Jedi, she never judges by first impressions and never judges based on opinion. She finds out WHO you are and WHAT you believe before she makes any kind of moral judgement upon you.
As a person, she has very little personal features. It makes her seem boring when someone asks about her personal life, because she really has none. She devotes all her time and energy to helping others and the Jedi Order. She doesn't really have any favorite music, colors, fabrics, designs, popular culture ideals, or even a favorite anything really. She hasn't ever spent the time to really make her OWN life. She is extremely calm, barely capable of ever getting upset, even if she may sound slightly angry. She always keeps her composure, even when threatened with definite death or dismemberment. She never seems to succumb to her own doubts and never questions her instincts.

HISTORY
Born in 52 BBY on Mirial, Nymara was discovered from a very very young age, around 2 years old, to clearly have Force ability and the preternatural reactions of a Jedi. Taken from that age from Mirial to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, she spent her entire life learning about the Force, the Jedi, the Galaxy and the various species that exist there. From only 4 years old, she seemed to have an intense interest in galactic events, in understanding how people corresponded to each other and interacted with each other. Quickly, the Masters realized she would be an excellent Consular and thus her training became more intense and quick.
Before her 15th birthday, Nymara became the Padawan of one of the Council Masters, Master Jesla Ornat a female Twi'lek Jedi Healer, at the time. She learned much from her Master and travelled all over the galaxy with Jesla. Then in 33 BBY, The Jedi Council ordered Jesla and her Padawan along with a large group of Jedi to further investigate the deaths of two Jedi in the Yinchorri system, hoping to prevent an even more dangerous conflict that could potentially threaten the entire galaxy.
The Yinchorri Uprising proved to be an extremely dangerous event which almost put the entire Jedi Order in jeopardy despite that very little Jedi were killed. Jesla and Nymara were there to defend the Jedi Temple after discovering a way to get through the Yinchorri defenses in their home sector. Coruscant and the Jedi Temple were mortified by the events, but it only helped to develop the skills of the young Padawan even further than they already were. Nymara received a deeply disturbing and powerful premonition whilst meditating after the Yinchorri Uprising was put down. She realizes that something is about to occur, a great and terrible tragedy upon the galaxy. Darkness falls upon the great Republic and it frightens Nymara.
Revealing this horrifying vision to her Master, Jesla reported this to the High Council in the hopes that they might discover the reasoning behind this very potent vision. As they do that, Jesla recommends Nymara for Knighthood and the Council agrees. After the Council agrees, she is given an assignment to find an informant to the Exchange in Coruscant, someone of great importance, who if left to his devices, could potentially harm the delicate relationship between the Hutt Cartel and the Republic. Being a perfect opportunity to test Nymara's calmness and resolution. Nymara took to the Streets of Coruscant and immediately discovered the location of the informant.
After chasing the informant for quite some time when he finally figured out he was being followed, she managed to grab him and subtly manipulate him, without using the Force, into trusting her and giving her the information he had in exchange for protection from the Exchange by the Jedi Order. Taking the offer, she escorted the informant back to the Jedi Temple, not before Seren Niod, the secret apprentice of the Supreme Chancellor, found her taking the one person he needed dead for the Master's plan to work. Meeting up with some allies, they managed to get away from Seren, not before two of them would die helping Nymara and her informant to escape.
Seren, not enjoying the fact that he was being beaten by some simple Padawan, took to finally trap and confront both of them. In a very heated lightsaber battle, Nymara was nearly killed by Seren, but not before Nymara was able to distract Seren long enough to stab him violently in the lower abdomen, causing significant harm. Using the opportunity to get away from Seren, she grabbed the informant and disappeared into the streets, not before the entire building they were in exploded. Seren escaped with his life and Nymara completed her trials.
Soon after becoming a Knight, she continued to serve her Master, Jesla, in the hopes of learning all she could from the powerful Master. Unfortunately, their relationship would end soon when the events unfurled leading up to the very Clone Wars interrupt the normal events of the galaxy. The Galactic Senate, infurled in this intense debate over the Nabooian invasion by the Trade Federation only causes greater stress on the Jedi Order. Over the course of the next few years, Jesla and Nymara would fight alongside each other until 25 BBY when during a diplomatic mission to a small outlying Mid Rim colony world in an attempt to clear up interspecies differences between two warring nations, a massive droid army appeared on the surface of the planet and began slaughtering the local populace.
Implored by the two royalties to take care of the issue, the two Jedi knowing that they are massively outnumbered and incapable of winning this battle, order as many of the inhabitants to board any capital ships they might have and escape the planet as quickly as possible. Nymara takes care of the evacuation whilst her Master, at the upset behest of Nymara, goes to face the massive army of droids. Believing that the Trade Federation or the Confederacy for Independent States was behind the attack, Jesla felt it was necessary to try and find a way to prevent any more unnecessary slaughter.
Fortunately, at least half of the population was able to escape the system away from the Droids. Being from an unknown source, the droids didn't give Jesla a chance to be diplomatic and instead began attacking her. By the time that Nymara was finished with the evacuation, she discovered the Master that had taught her so much was completely surrounded and obviously going to lose in her battle. Running into battle carrying her dual sabers, she quickly slaughtered the various droids around Jesla. Using a very powerful Force Repulse around her Master, she used the sudden and intense shock of energy that knocked over several hundred droids to pick up the mentor and ran away as fast as physically possible using the Force.
After running for hours, she finally stopped and laid the woman down on a soft bed of grass in the middle of an empty field on a hilltop. Jesla told her apprentice that she had to move on and allow her to become one with the Force. The only time Nymara ever lost control of her emotions was witnessing her Master die before her eyes. Jesla told her that she looked upon Nymara as a daughter and that she had been honored to be in her life. With her last breath, she gave over her lightsaber to Nymara. The poor girl went insane, sending out waves and waves of intense Force energy, almost destroying every living thing around her in anger and pain.
Within 20 minutes, she had calmed down and realized her mistake in believing that her Master would've wanted anything but for her to honor her life. Returning Jesla's body and herself to the Jedi Council, she told them of the events on that day. Nymara took a long time away from combat and missions to meditate and learn more about control over her emotions in the passion and love she had for her Master. After about a year, she returned to active duty and was quickly given a position as a Jedi Sage. Using this opportunity for reflective study and better understanding of the Force, the hundreds of thousands of species in the Galaxy and how it all was connected, it gave her peace and real comprehension.
Then, in 22 BBY, the Clone Wars began and nothing was ever the same. Becoming a Jedi General was on the bottom of her list, but she would not complain or wary on her task for it was to bring peace to the Galaxy once and for all. She travelled to many worlds in the next few years, but before the end of the Clone Wars and the beginning of the Dark Ages, the Jedi High Council determined that she had earned her place in the Order to become a Master. Believing herself to still not be worthy of this title, rank and responsibility, they still gave it to her. Her humbleness only helped her when the Order 66 came from the Clones and threatened the very existence of all Jedi.
Nymara managed to escape the clutches of her turned troopers and fled the planet she was on. She was attacked by a squadron of Republic fighters and was forced to make an emergency landing on Ossus. Luckily, some remaining Jedi had survived the attack and were planning on joining Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi, amongst others, with the pre-Rebel Alliance to formerly safeguard their Order. The planet was attacked by Republic Troopers during the planning and in order to save her, as she was the only Master, they carbonized her and stored her body and belongings in an ancient stasis chamber deep beneath the ancient Jedi Temple.
