Character Qellene Tyliame

[Qellene Tyliame]

Qellene’s origin was shrouded in fog as long as she could remember, her earliest memories entirely a blur until her time on Pamarthe had begun and until she had fallen under the care of a well-reputed mariner. Blood tests proved her to be Corellian, but the identity of her parents was seemingly lost to speculation. Minor mass-related abnormalities in her bone structure, meanwhile, indicated birth aboard a starship-- how she wound up on Pamarthe out of all places, however, was almost entirely unknown.

She would grow up on the sea, regularly volunteering with various duties aboard her father’s cargo vessel between long-haul voyages as soon as he deemed her old enough to do so-- and before that taking time from her academic studies to stowaway aboard instead. But when Qellene fell overboard and nearly drowned, she was limited to the mainland for a full year and temporarily put under the care of a family friend and proud businesswoman, Elieen Grile.

For that year of her life, she spent her time operating repulsor craft and running errands between her home harbor and Elieen’s various warehouses. While on her breaks, Qellene would visit the former, spending full hours watching the throngs of vessels pass in and out through the bustling harbor, and specifically watching for her father’s ship to make its return.

In time it did, and he finally descended the ramp...

In a box.

Now twenty years old, Qellene’s connection to Pamarthe had been reduced to a thin line of string, no longer having any family or friends to anchor her to her adopted homeworld. As such, with the credits she had accumulated from her errands, Qellene boarded a shuttle for Corellia-- determined to find clues as to her birth and biological family. But when her transport crossed into Alliance space, she only found debris…

And a Sith fleet waiting.

Soon after, Qellene woke up aboard a Galactic Alliance hospital ship with a bright red scar across her left cheek, having just barely made it through a disastrous confrontation with the Sith and having just barely guided the damaged passenger vessel from danger. And with no way of going back to Pamarthe-- at least, not at the moment--, she strived to make herself useful, soon finding years of work helming various vehicles and working around machinery to be in her favor; As her abilities would be noticed soon after her enlistment into the remnant’s navy, and provided her a position as the pilot of a salvaged A-wing.

By the time the Sith fell over Coruscant, and a new Galactic Alliance began to develop, Qellene had been part of hundreds of combat missions, and throughout, she had never made a move to run back to Pamarthe. Others would interpret it as a sense of duty, but she had simply convinced herself that there was nothing to run back to. The belief persisted throughout the rest of her life, and sent her through an official aptitude test and once more placed her inside the cockpit of an A-wing Interceptor.

A combined six years of service passed by, and Qellene lived through the Stygian Campaign, through battles against a growing Brotherhood of the Maw, and through loss and victory alike--

Always searching, Always persisting, Always remembering.

Personality:
Despite a bevy of tragedy surrounding her life, Qellene nonetheless inherited a cheerful and joking nature from her father, growing up to be extremely outgoing. But at times, her laughter is used to deafen hidden crying, her smile used to expel frowns, and enthusiasm used to mask moments of emotional weakness. Alongside, she struggles with hearkening back to her past-- being far more comfortable with a present-first mindset, and worrying that if she were to dwell on her early life too much, she would be torn away from everything she had left.
