And she is always accompanied, whenever possible, by her personal service droid K7-L0-GE3 whom she nicknamed “Maro”.
BIOGRAPHY:
Many would think the life as a daughter to a politician would be one of luxury while dealing with paparazzi lie and scandals. But in some cases it can be so simply and sheltered that any changes would feel like a whole new life. The perfect case for Tora Vell, the only child of the Vells who were a political couple on Dorin.
While being born into a wealthy family Tora never exactly had the luxurious part of it. She was home-schooled and privately tutored throughout her life and never had any real friends. The closest she had were the children of other diplomats and politicians she would meet now-and-then whenever her parents attended parties. She kept in touch with them even when systems away but they weren’t exactly the close enough to be considered “friends”. The only other exception was her family’s personal droid who she always called “Maro” instead of by his serial number.
Her father had argued her private life was better off as it meant being safe in what he’d considered a dangerous galaxy. He felt this way mainly due to the Sith, and force users in-general who he felt were more dangerous than most weapons. And when befriending others who felt that way it was hard for him to see much compromise. Her mother, while accepting it, did feel her daughter’s lonely pain and did whatever she could to make it easier. Though it usually ended with her gaining another “not-so” friend.
Foe the longest time Tora did anything and everything she could to pass the time between lessons, usually leading to lots and lots of reading. It had finally come to the point where she feared this would be her life from now on. Until…
A year ago Tora began to realize she had the abilities of the force, often something she’d never fully understood or paid attention to when she was young. She always thought it was her imagination when things seemed to move on their own, or very bad dreams of seeing things that eventually happened. But sure enough her gift eventually manifested in full when she was able to lift things without touching them.
Fearing her parent’s reaction Tora kept it secret for months before she was discovered by her mother and Maro, seeing her levitating herself off her bed without even realizing it. She explained herself before her mother, surprisingly, had accepted her abilities with open arms. She’d said how this life was what she was destine for instead of remaining as a shut-in politician’s daughter all her life. As grateful as she was by her mother’s reaction both of them knew her father would not be so kind.
Of course when he was told Tora’s father was angered by this. He’d claimed it was an act of cruelty by the powers that be against him or some scandal in-mind for him and his family given his position. Tora’s mother, however, had tried convincing her it was a sign that things had to change. Her father, still disagreeing on this, did understand that his daughter could not stay home now that she had these abilities. With that it was agreed she would go with the Jedi, her father saying they weren’t the worse but still had issues for letting Corascant fall to their enemies.
Before leaving on the ship for the new Republic capital and the Jedi’s main training area Tora’s mother had her take Maro along as well, she arguing how she and her father would sleep better knowing he was with her. After that Tora bid farewell to both of them before being flown off in a private ship off for a new life ahead of her.
