STRENGTHS | WEAKNESSES
[+] Scholar/Intellectual - Learning, erudition, and informed and critical thinking are her focus. This is one of her most defining traits. Her thought/reasoning, intelligence/critical/analytical skills are above average. She is capable of visualizing, articulating, and solving complex and uncomplicated problems and concepts and can make decisions that are sensible and based on available information. She more than capable of applying logical thought, and shows a good aptitude for testing and designing solutions to problems, and formulating plans.
[+/-] Nimble/Agile - She has the natural ability to change her body's position efficiently. Her balance, coordination, speed, reflexes, and endurance are all above average. She usually uses these skills in tandem to achieve evasion, as she doesn't wield a lightsaber in battle. Her Force skills are enough to make up for her lack of a weapon, when she happens to be in the midst of battle, which isn't all the time, as she prefers the behind the scenes work. She further modifies these skills with knowledge of Ataru. This also means that with her increase in speed, and evasion, she sacrifices strength and power, and wouldn't last extremely long in an hand to hand or up close encounter, though she's working on ways to counter this.
[+/-] Mind-Over-Matter - She is extremely proficient in various aspects of the Force. She has always had exceptional potential in these areas. Even going so far as to utilize this as her main set of skills, than using any other weapons. In time her abilities could grow to match even the best force users in the galaxy. She has coupled minimal knowledge of martial arts with her telekinetic abilities, using such forms of projected fighting, only being able to stun opponents rather than injure or kill. People also can defend against her projected fighting as though it were standard hand to hand attacks.
[-] Glasses - She has a condition called Myopia, because of this she doesn't have the ability to focus on distant objects without her glasses. She can only go so long without her glasses, and excessive eyes strain from squinting can cause headaches to the point where she can't focus. Bright flashes of light are also debilitating to her. Simply destroy her glasses and you have already weakened her.
