re: Rirya

1

Rirya was born in Anchorhead city to unknown parents. She was raised entirely by her older brother who refused to speak about the parents that abandoned them. Living an extremely poor lifestyle, choices were made as the two had to steal and rob just to survive. Rirya's brother Drayo became a bounty hunter to try and support them enough to get an apartment while Rirya began working at the Anchorhead Cantina only paid in scraps of food left over at the end of her shift. One day a Mysterious stranger arrived and began asking questions around town. That night Drayo picked up a bounty on this stranger and walked into the Cantina the next day while Rirya was working and raised his blaster to fire.

Before he could squeeze the trigger the blue energy blade of the Jedi's light saber flared to life cutting his hand off at the wrist. Rirya instinctively went to protect her brother but being to far away she just imagined grabbing the lightsaber from the Jedi and much to all of their surprise the lightsaber leapt from the Jedi's hand and into hers but before she could make demands one of the soldiers with the Jedi raised his blaster rifle and sent a bolt through her brother's chest.

Defeated she collapsed on the floor letting go of the lightsaber where the Jedi came over and picked it up introducing himself as Jedi Watchmen Lorell, and he was on Tatooine looking for her because he could feel her presence in the force while his ship was refueling. Having no option of a life on Tatooine anymore she wearily went with him and the soldiers back to his ship where she began some light studies of the history of the Jedi Order before arriving on Tython.

She travelled with Watchman Lorell for 3 years studying under his tutelage. He taught her multiple combat forms but she never excelled in the training. He could feel her connection to the force was growing the more and more he spent around her and began talking to her about the paths of the Jedi, that she would either become a Counsular or a Knight, and from her connection to the force he suggested she devote her time to mastering it.

She didn't quite understand what he meant but if it meant less beating in the combat duels she was happy. She took his advice and began reading as much about the Jedi Order as she could, still Watchmen Lorell dragged her into the dueling chamber to teach her Form V of lightsaber combat, Soresu. He explained that it was the most defensive form of lightsaber combat and even when outnumbered by other Jedi she would be able to hold her own if she could master this technique. Every day she would go through the motions slowing building muscle memory while Lorell would attempt to break her defense, which he often did.

As they neared Tython she felt comfortable with her level of mastery over Form V and was prepared to continue her training as a Padawan at the Jedi Temple. 

She is extremely hard on herself because she fears her past may cause others to mistrust her or harbor ideas that she may go to the dark side for revenge against the order.

She is shy but always willing to lend a hand to someone in pain, and will go out of her way to assist the needy.
