BIOGRAPHY
The History of Via...
Ah, where to begin? Something as complex and convoluted a being as Via simply cannot be transcribed into mere words. Oh yes, we could try. Let's find some choice adjectives, shall we?
Alluring? Absolutely.
Devious? Without a doubt.
Tenacious? Viciously so.
Does that describe her well enough for you? No? Very well then. Let us commence with the words, shall we?
Via was brought kicking and screaming into being in a shanty on Ryloth. Parents are unimportant. As all slaves are. She was raised in slavery, though she outran the chains meant to trap her forever.
Did I mention the fact that she was devious? Because that is how she avoided slavery. She had a crafty and quick mind, even as a child. And growing up, she honed that mind at every opportunity, from a very early age.
Growing up, her parents saw signs of her budding Force Sensitivity. She was quite the adept at probing the minds of others. Neither parent was force sensitive, so they had no recourse as young Via explored her abilities.
By the time she was 7, there wasn't a thought her parents had that she did not know. She became a fine manipulator by age 9. Combining natural skill with her Force power enabled her to have whatever and whoever she wanted.
Needless to say, she frightened her parents greatly.
Her childhood was pleasant for her, despite the slavery her parents endured. She was largely left alone to explore, learn and grow. Grow, not just physically, but mentally as well. She strengthened her connection to the Force on a daily basis. Practice makes perfect, yes?
She craves knowledge and information. Because those 2 things are the keys to power. Power of all kinds. And she is well gifted to get that knowledge from most anyone. Keep in mind, she has yet to come against someone who can withstand her probing. That person exists, of course. She simply hasn't met them yet.
On to her escape from Ryloth.
Via had begun accustomed to lurking around the shipyards. A young Twi'Lek girl, no one paid her any attention, so she had free rein. And she took high advantage of that. She "befriended" many of the crew for the various ships that passed through. She learned patterns, routines and, most importantly, information.
Information she stored away for when she would need it. Information like pilots names, who they worked for and the cargo the ships carried. She didn't bat an eye when she first learned that her people, Twi'Leks, were the primary export. She learned who the buyers and sellers are.
She also learned which pilots and crew were in trouble, and with who. A slow smile and a flick of her Lekku worked wonders on getting tongues to wag. She found out a certain pilot was in deep to a Hutt on Nar Shaddaa. And she also made mention that a bounty hunter had recently taken contract for that certain pilot.
The pilot choked and sputtered. Literally. Because Via was holding a clenched fist up at him. Her slender shoulders shook from the unexpected exertion. When the pilot's face began losing color, she opened her fist. The pilot fell to his hands and knees, gasping for air. Via simply glared down at him ion disgust.
"I will take passage on your ship. Objections?"
The pilot's head whipped back and forth.
"No...No objections. I'm at your command."
And that, my friend, is how she escaped Ryloth.
Once free and aboard the ship, she turned full attention and power on the captain. His name... Does it matter? In the history, it is the names of victors and conquerors that are remembered. Whispered with reverence and awe. No, the captain was merely a means to an end. It was he who taught her how to pilot a ship. He who taught her to navigate the stars and plot courses. An innocent look every now and then, not to mention use of her mental prowess, and the captain taught her everything he knew about flying, diagnostics, astrogation, repair and maintenance.
With her new education, she thanked the pilot for his services, and left him on Tattoine. From there, she has spent time traveling the galaxy. She has avoided the Core Worlds, instead preferring to see the Outer Rim, the Unknown Regions and the like.
All the while, she kept tabs on her homeworld. Ryloth. She knew the conditions were not good, or safe, or overall happy there. She began to feel a sense of responsibility towards the inhabitants there.
So she charted course for Ryloth. Heading home to do all she can to make a difference.
