 Zaiya's 1000 post Feedback thread!

I just realized I hit 1000 posts, and since my last feedback was back in May, I wanted to throw this in for some input.

So, many neat things have occurred with Zaiya since that last feedback, and I wanted to get some ideas, musings, and the like on what would make my writing better and what may also be neat for Zaiya.

I aged her up a few years now, so she is sixteen, and roleplaying that she has a lot of catching up the past few years to catch up with not only her Jedi Training, but also her University studies that she is now taking as holocourses.

She has been steadily progressing her use of the Force, with the aspect of Sense being the primary aspect she has a better handle on -- sensing the Force, Life, emotions, how the Force flows, and how it feels when people specifically use the Force based off the alignment they use. She struggles with control and alter, and because she is a teenager with all the angst, she can swing easily from one emotion to the next - while broadcasting it as a holo billboard on her face in all glowing extremes - and I can see how this could potentially end up have her treading the line with the Darkside if she can't learn to not only reign in her emotions, but learn how to settle herself as the Force continues to progress and open her empathic abilities with others. I can def see it turn sideways for her as this past invasion with how the Phobis Device really shook her, especially with dealing with Kasir Dorran Kasir Dorran and Srina Talon Srina Talon and it made her doubt her own self as much as emphasize just how much she feels lonely without her social bonds.

I can see this going several ways, depending on how she works through this internally and with others, especially depending on what IC interactions she ends up having in other public threads and invasions. Being a teen means things can go sideways at any time, and I can see how it can potentially swing to a more darker version or perhaps, mature to a better way of controlling herself. Or trying to suppress it all a la Vulcan style which could be its own drama sense as well.

She was just accepted as Iris Arani Iris Arani 's padawan after Shan Pavond Shan Pavond went to medical school, so that is a super neat storyline that I'm excited for, especially since Iris can see the Force in colors and uses that to apply it outward. Plus, her relationships with her friends, especially Aris, Mahsa, Ayhan, and others have been super important, and certainly would love to have even more friendships or relationships bloom. She really does look up to Lossa Aureus Lossa Aureus and Corazona von Ascania Corazona von Ascania and other older Knights who just seem to have it all together, but really are going through their own ups and downs.

I'd love any other ideas that one may believe would be good for Zaiya, or any neat paths with the Force that one believes may work well for her as well! Not too sure on what sort of lightsaber fighting style may work for her, or if it will be a lightsaber at all. For now, she is just average in basic forms, but it certainly isn't her greatest skillset. She's more of a support role Jedi than one who jolts forward into the action -- but then again, who knows what IC shenanigans may change that!

Faith is the heroism of the intellect.
While Zaiya and neither Vanagor(or really you and I) have ever interacted, she is one of my favorite reads. She reminds me of Iris Arani Iris Arani in her outlook (sans paints). Together they are going to make a great team and while they may not be what one might think of when watching a Star Wars movie. They both are what the Jedi truly represent in the best circumstances.

Deep down (and I am not just saying this) the two of them represent what a Jedi's true wish is. A day they can put their lightsabers down for good.

Don't lose sight of that with her.
 
In Umbris Potestas Est
Her empathic abilities and physical reaction to them made her a very interesting character in the few times we've interacted. I'd certainly be interested in engaging or conflicting with her more in future threads.
 
I can only speak on the invasion thread as I am not familiar with other areas of her storyline. From what I’ve read so far, she is unique and well crafted. The vivid descriptions of various hues when she went ‘full glow burb’ were well written and the emotions that accompanied them felt both authentic and believable. Everything from the kyber crystal hair clip(smh) to the surprise attack with those little pearl things had a way of complimenting the character’s nature. And I def agree with Caltin’s sentiments regarding her representation of the Jedi; it's hard to picture her as anything but the empathetic/innocent burger-loving Padawan on the light side of the Force! It sounds like her and Iris will make for a solid team, and it’d be neat to see some kind of comeback arc!

Echoing all of the above, I very much enjoy the glow birb! She's engaging and easy to write with, not just from a Jedi perspective, but a Sith one as well (re: her fight with Kasir). Her emotions are (in my own experience) very realistic for what a teenage girl surrounded by other teenagers might be feeling; she somtimes worries about relationships, whether or not her friends like her for who she is (re: our thread), and pines after the cute guy who likes her back I think?

Her unique species traits play very well into all that, adding a unique twist to her situation. I'd love to see how she progresses with Iris, seems like a colorful match!
