Something Borrowed
Vhondryl Gallaer
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To codify the Dosuunian Commonwealth's High Commissioner, and bring back an old PC with a new role. This had been one of those characters that I had never created a biography for, so I had to go back to older threads where I wrote them. So, in a way, I'm finally submitting their bio!

Vhondryl Gallaer was born in the year 848 on the distant world of Kesh. Her life took a drastic turn when Kesh became a victim of the Bryn'adul's Genocidal March, reducing the once-thriving planet to ashes. Alongside her sister Ariadne, Vhondryl sought refuge on Crytal Nest, a city established to accommodate the influx of refugees from the devastated Tingel Arm. She and her sister were the only survivors from their family. The journey to Crytal Nest had been long and arduous and one that tested their resolve many times over.
In the mid-860s, during the ill-fated resurgence of the First Order, Vhondryl and Ariadne arrived on Crytal Nest. Vhondryl joined the First Order Corps of Imperial Engineers, utilizing her technical skills in service of the regime. However, when the First Order's attempts to regain power failed, she and her sister found themselves on different paths. Vhondryl became a prominent figure in the city's political landscape. Elected as the mayor of Passeri in 879, she demonstrated leadership and resilience in the face of challenges. As the galaxy shifted, Crytal Nest transitioned from a haven for refugees to a thriving Commonwealth member world.
In 894, Vhondryl Gallaer was appointed as the High Commissioner of the Dosuunian Commonwealth of Nations, representing the interests of various member worlds. Her journey from a refugee to High Commissioner is among the rags to riches stories that can be told throughout the Commonwealth, where individual rights and freedoms are upheld in the spirit of unity.
