PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Serina Calis is a strikingly beautiful young woman with long, golden blonde hair that cascades in soft waves down her back. Her piercing blue eyes seem to hold a depth of curiosity and ambition, giving her an aura of both charm and mystery. Her fair complexion is accentuated by her youthful features, with a flawless, radiant skin tone that reflects her noble upbringing on Chandrila. Her high cheekbones and delicate features often make her stand out in a crowd, drawing attention wherever she goes.

Despite her beauty, there is a subtle intensity to her gaze, as if she is constantly analyzing the world around her. Her demeanor carries an air of grace and confidence, enhanced by the meticulous way she presents herself. Serina's hands, though elegant, are often clasped behind her back in a posture of poise and discipline, a habit instilled by years of Jedi training. Her movements are fluid and deliberate, exuding control even in the smallest gestures.

She often wears the traditional beige and brown Jedi Padawan robes, though hers are tailored and kept immaculately clean. The robes feature subtle embellishments, such as intricate stitching along the hem, hinting at her appreciation for order and beauty. While her lightsaber hangs loosely at her side, its polished hilt reveals her care for the weapon despite her lack of focus on its use. In battle or training, she occasionally dons simple leather bracers and a lightweight utility belt, carrying tools and pouches for small essentials, though she prefers to travel light.

Adding to her striking appearance is a thin, faint scar just above her left eyebrow—a remnant of an early training accident—which she wears with quiet pride as a symbol of resilience. While her overall look suggests serenity and discipline, there is an undeniable hint of ambition and determination in her presence, a subtle foreshadowing of the internal struggle she faces.

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS

Serina is a curious and highly intelligent Padawan, enamored by the sheer scope and power of the Force. She sees it not merely as a tool but as a force of nature to be understood, harnessed, and perhaps one day mastered. While initially a bright and diligent student, her burgeoning ambition and slight arrogance often make her question the Jedi teachings, particularly the concept of detachment.

Her fascination with the Force goes beyond its common applications, as she views it as a living entity—a boundless ocean of potential that she wishes to comprehend and, ultimately, shape. She spends hours in meditative states, seeking to feel every nuance and pulse of the Force. This deep connection often isolates her from her peers, as she sometimes struggles to relate to those who approach their training with more traditional discipline.

Serina is drawn to the idea of control—control over herself, her environment, and eventually the Force itself. She believes that mastering the Force will allow her to transcend the limitations that others accept as inevitable. This fascination, though subtle for now, manifests in her obsession with meditation and Force techniques, often to the detriment of her saber combat training. While she appreciates the lightsaber as a tool, she finds it inferior to the sheer power of manipulating the Force directly.

Emotionally, Serina is a complex individual. While she admires the Jedi's teachings, she struggles with their demand for detachment. She secretly believes emotions are a gateway to understanding the true depth of the Force. To her, anger, passion, and even fear are not obstacles to overcome but sources of energy to channel, albeit carefully. This belief, while not yet pronounced, suggests a philosophical divergence from the Jedi Order that may one day lead her to explore the darker aspects of the Force.

Her ambition, though tempered by her youth, burns brightly. Serina dreams of uncovering ancient secrets, unlocking abilities lost to time, and becoming a figure who redefines what it means to be a Force wielder. Whether this will lead her to greatness or destruction remains to be seen, but for now, her journey is one of both discovery and subtle peril.

STRENGTHS

  1. Exceptional Force Sensitivity: Serina is highly attuned to the Force, capable of extraordinary feats such as precise telekinesis, heightened precognition, and a profound connection to the Force that allows her to sense and influence subtle changes in her surroundings. This sensitivity often enables her to perform tasks that even seasoned Jedi find challenging, though it also feeds her growing ambition.
  2. Brilliant Intellect: She possesses a sharp mind, capable of understanding complex Force theories and crafting innovative strategies. Serina's thirst for knowledge often leads her to seek out ancient texts and holocrons, piecing together long-forgotten techniques or philosophical insights. Her ability to quickly adapt her understanding makes her a standout Padawan.
  3. Charismatic Presence: With her striking appearance and confident demeanor, Serina naturally draws others to her. Her charm and eloquence make her an effective negotiator and influencer, allowing her to sway opinions or defuse tense situations with ease. Her leadership potential is evident, though it remains tempered by her youth and relative inexperience.
  4. Innovative Thinking: Serina's unconventional approach to using the Force often results in creative solutions to problems. Whether it's adapting traditional techniques for new purposes or improvising under pressure, her ability to think outside the box has impressed even her most skeptical mentors. This trait underscores her potential to redefine what it means to be a Force wielder in the future.

WEAKNESSES

  1. Overconfidence: Serina's growing reliance on the Force leads her to overestimate her abilities, especially in situations requiring physical prowess. Her confidence often blinds her to potential dangers, leaving her vulnerable in scenarios where her Force abilities are limited or countered. She tends to underestimate opponents who rely on physical strength or unconventional tactics, creating gaps in her strategy.
  2. Poor Saber Combat Skills: Her lack of focus on lightsaber training leaves her at a significant disadvantage in close combat. While she understands the basics of Form I, her skills are underdeveloped, making her movements predictable and easy to counter for more experienced duelists. Her dependence on the Force further widens this gap, as she rarely practices prolonged physical engagements.
  3. Dark Tendencies: Her fascination with control and subtle disdain for some Jedi principles makes her susceptible to darker influences. Serina's belief that emotions are a source of power rather than a weakness often leads her into dangerous territory, tempting her to explore forbidden Force techniques. While she has not crossed a line yet, the allure of the Dark Side looms ever closer, especially in moments of frustration or desperation.
  4. Impatience: Serina struggles with patience, often seeking shortcuts to achieve mastery over the Force rather than following the disciplined path of a Jedi. This impatience drives her to experiment recklessly, sometimes pushing her physical and mental limits in ways that could harm her. Her unwillingness to wait for results or adhere to structured training causes friction with her peers and mentors, who see her potential overshadowed by her impulsiveness.

HISTORY
Serina Calis was born on one of the Core Worlds—Chandrila—a bastion of peace and culture that survived the trials of the Galactic Civil War and the centuries that followed. From a young age, she exhibited an uncanny ability to sense things before they happened, manipulate objects with her mind, and connect deeply with the world around her. Her parents, recognizing her Force sensitivity, arranged for her to be taken to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant at the age of three.

Her early years at the Jedi Temple were marked by rapid progress and a fierce curiosity. Serina quickly became known for her meditative discipline, often spending hours in solitude, reaching out to the Force in ways that astonished her instructors. However, alongside her talents came an insatiable hunger for knowledge, especially knowledge that delved into the deeper mysteries of the Force. Her teachers occasionally grew uneasy with her probing questions about the limitations imposed by the Jedi Order and the dangers of exploring the darker aspects of the Force.

At the Temple, she developed a reputation for her telekinetic prowess, mastering techniques far ahead of her peers. She could move objects with precision and grace, often performing feats that mesmerized onlookers. Yet, her disdain for lightsaber combat training began to draw criticism. While she grasped the theoretical aspects of the various lightsaber forms, her practical skills lagged behind, as she found physical combat to be a distraction from her true passion: understanding and mastering the Force itself.

Serina's secret studies have led her to uncover fragments of ancient philosophies and lost techniques, often from archives and holocrons considered off-limits. Her fascination with these teachings stems from her belief that the Jedi Code offers only a fraction of what the Force can truly offer. To her, the Force is a boundless entity, and limiting its use to the Light Side feels like shackling an infinite power. This belief fuels her inner conflict, as she struggles to reconcile the ideals she was raised with and the possibilities she dreams of exploring.

Her journey has just begun, but the path ahead is fraught with peril. Serina's ambition and dissatisfaction with the Jedi Order's constraints could lead her to either reshape the understanding of the Force or succumb to its darker temptations. As she faces trials and choices that will test her resolve, the question remains: Will she rise as a beacon of hope, uniting wisdom with power, or will her pursuit of control and knowledge lead her down the treacherous path of the Dark Side? Only time will tell.

  • ARC 1:
    StoryParticipants:Description:Experiences Gained:
    Twice the pride... In the Jedi Temple's training Salle, the confident yet ambitious Padawan Serina Calis faces off against the lighthearted and skilled Jedi Knight Jack Wright in a sparring match that tests more than just her lightsaber abilities. Struggling with her lack of a formal Master and driven by a simmering desire for recognition and power, Serina employs unconventional tactics, including Force illusions and environment manipulation, to challenge Jack's precision and control. Despite her ingenuity, her hesitation costs her the duel, leaving her with both a lesson in restraint and a lingering bitterness. Jack departs with a warning about the dangers of unchecked ambition, but Serina's resolve only deepens, her darker tendencies subtly growing as she reflects on the encounter. Beneath her composed exterior, she quietly vows to rise above the expectations of the Jedi Order, determined to prove that her ambition is not a flaw but the key to her eventual greatness.Serina's use of Dun Möch, subtle verbal taunts and probing questions, aimed to unbalance Jack mentally. While her attempts revealed her potential in psychological warfare, Jack's composure highlighted the limits of her current proficiency. The duel encouraged her to refine this skill, blending it with other tactics to exploit vulnerabilities more effectively.

    Serina's limited experience with Form I: Shii-Cho was evident as she struggled to match Jack's precision and control in blade-to-blade combat. While her movements were deliberate, they lacked the refinement and fluidity needed to hold her ground. The duel highlighted the critical gaps in her lightsaber training, pushing her to consider how to integrate her Force-based strengths into her combat style more effectively and to understand Jack's form, Form II: Makashi.
