== Physical Description ==
[[File:VeliraSilkOutfit.jpg|left|thumb|546x546px|Velira's Physique ]]Despite her age, Velira physically appears only to be in her twenties. Her skin is smooth and porcelain-pale with a faint silvery undertone, flawless and almost luminous under light. Her heart shaped face is strikingly symmetrical, with high cheekbones and a narrow jawline that gives her a regal appearance. Thick, dark hair falls in loose curls, cascading over her shoulders with subtle maroon and violet undertones.

Her slightly upturned eyes are round to give her face a gentler appearance, despite the striking blood-red irises. They are framed by long, dark lashes and delicately arched brows, surrounded by shadows. Her lips are full and naturally dark, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

Her elegant figure is petite with soft, feminine curves, including a larger bust line. She has long, talon-like nails that come to naturally sharp points and are typically painted dark red in color.

Unlike others of her species, her nose remains symmetrical alongside the rest of her features, with a smooth bridge due to her intermixed heritage. Two slender facial tendrils—her Anzati proboscises— remain carefully hidden within her cheeks, invisible until she chooses to strike. When revealed, they are thin and semi-translucent compared to her already pale skin, giving them a silky, web-like appearance.
== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

From an early age, Velira displayed an acute sensitivity to the Force, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

Unknown to Velira at the time, there was a ruse for power among the other members of her family, hungry to take it for themselves. Her Mother had always kept a careful balance on their planet with distributing the prey as the sole ruler at the time, ensuring that no Anzat ever went without food. This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands. [[File:Nurse Velira 1.png|thumb|444x444px|Velira in her medic uniform ]]Following the death of her mother, Velira could no longer stand to be anywhere near her family, as her hatred grew along with the feeling of being trapped. She found her family’s way of life hollow and grotesque— predation stripped of its challenge, turned into indulgence without purpose. While the Morvanes feasted behind silk curtains and polished marble, Velira longed for the freedom of choosing her own path and living by her own strength. Finally, Velira forged a deal with her father— She could gain access to her share of the family wealth, and have 200 years of freedom, in exchange for then returning to the throne to serve her family as soon as that time runs out.
=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another... Or at least, what Velira perceived as love in the earlier stages of her life. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

There, in the darkness and silence of her entombment, she adapted. Unable to feed at will, she turned inward, using the Force to suppress her hunger, and extend the time she could go without sustenance for days at a time. These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.[[File:Untitled Artwork (3).PNG|thumb|476x476px|Velira's armor|left]]

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership. Rather than fleeing, Velira turned her focus to vengeance once more—this time against the entire coven.

Over the span of years, she methodically and covertly eliminated its members, each death disguised as misfortune, accident, or the work of rival clans. By the time her campaign of quiet destruction was complete, the coven had been reduced to scattered survivors. Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|301x301px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to [[Clan Odan-Urr]], a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. [[Mihoshi Keibatsu]], the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting aboard the [[Godless Matron|''Godless Matron'']], to align her interests with those of the notorious [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]]. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as both an infiltrator and a medic among them, aboard [[the Kraken]] and within the [[Shroud Syndicate]].

==== The Seventeenth Great Jedi War, Animus ====
As tensions with the [[The Collective|Collective]] escalated, Velira was called into service by her clan. Seeking to avoid pursuit from her Anzati family who wished to reclaim her and force her into service for their people, she answered Clan Odan Urr's call, and once again concealed herself among the clan’s medics and Jedi. Despite her efforts to remain inconspicuous, Velira rose to prominence throughout the conflict. Through her ties to the Shroud Syndicate, she traveled to a remote world alongside [[Vigo Zakirov]] to eliminate a Collective spy, later assisted in developing several battle plans, and participated in the infiltration of Rath Oligard’s estate, where she killed a high ranking duchess with deep ties to the Collective. Her final mission of the war took her into the Technodome alongside Vigo once again. There, she hunted down and killed [[The Collective: Technocratic Guild|Kendra Icasta,]] leader of the [[The Collective: Technocratic Guild|Technocratic Guild]], by draining her of her life essence. In recognition of her service and accomplishments, Velira was named [[Seventeenth Great Jedi War#Heroes|First Heroine]] of the [[Seventeenth Great Jedi War|Seventeenth Great Jedi War.]]

== Feeding Practices ==
While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified. Instead, Velira prefers to use the Anzati phrases of ''life'' ''essence or sea of memory.'' In comparison to others of her kind, Velira deems herself as taking a more "humane" approach when it comes to feeding. A few of these beliefs she chose to adopt after she became a medic.

==== Guiding Principles ====
There is one moral centered around feeding that Velira has vowed to herself to never break, for however many hundreds of years that she is alive for. She has vowed to herself to never feed upon the life essence from younglings, and would rather choose death over doing so. She views the minds of younglings as something precious and innocent, meant to be protected. As an Anzat, Velira has never fed on a youngling, but has hunted down other members of her species if she uncovered that they were found guilty of such a crime.

==== Quality Over Quantity ====
Due to years of exercising self control, while Velira is still prone to the traditional soup cravings as an Anzat, she is typically able to cope with those sensations without the need to impulsively feed. This allows her to be much more selective when it comes to her prey, as needed. Velira will typically opt to go after those with what she deems as stronger minds, if she is able to. Additionally, she feels that they have more of a fair chance of defending themselves, and so it reduces her guilt in doing so. The added benefit feeding on those with stronger minds or those who are stronger in the Force, is that the one meal can sustain Velira for much longer, as opposed to the equivalent of having quick snacks. If she is severely limited in her options, only then will she not act on this particular belief.

==== Acts of Mercy ====
Velira will not readily kill those that she feeds from, unless she uncovers that they are criminals, or under specific circumstances. Those specific circumstances sometimes arise from her patients that she oversees as a medic. If they are deemed beyond saving, or ask to be finally relieved of their suffering, only then will Velira feed from them until they pass away. She goes extra lengths to ensure that the procedure is quick and as painless as possible, certainly more painless than what is they may already have been experiencing.

==== Feeding Responsibly ====
In most circumstances, Velira go the extra length to aide her "meal" through the experience to the best of her abilities. Her proboscises are silky and precise in nature. Her knowledge as a medic and in different body systems allow her to mark specific areas of the brain to feed from, to limit the amount of harm caused. Additionally, she will typically only feed with one proboscis, while the other one is readily administering bacta fluid to the brain to help with replenishment and promote healing. She will do her best to take only what she needs, and not feed in excess. Even more so, if deemed necessary, Velira may oftentimes use the Force to alter the memories of those who she feeds on in a way so that they have no recollection of the experience, and can move forwards with their lives.

== Relationships ==
[[File:First kiss.PNG|thumb|426x426px|Velira and Morgan's first kiss ]]
[[File:11-Morgan-Sorenn.png|left|frameless|113x113px|Morgan ]]

=== Morgan B. Sorenn ===
Velira Morvane’s connection to [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] began with intent, hunger, and a calculated plan. Drawn initially by the intensity of Morgan’s life essence, what started as a calculated alignment of interests slowly became something else. Morgan proved to be one of the first, if not the only, people to truly accept Velira for what she is. In turn, Velira came to embrace Morgan fully: her chaos, her trauma, and the freedom that she embodies. Over time, the hunger that once defined Velira’s interest faded, replaced by genuine care. For each difference between them, something unexpected took shape— a sense of balance neither of them was meant to find. For each contrast, they came to understand one another in ways few others could, and their connection deepened.
[[File:Vigo WIKIfied.png|left|frameless|115x115px]]

=== Vigo Zakirov ===
Velira first met [[Vigo Zakirov|Vigo]] through the Shroud Syndicate during the Seventeenth Great Jedi War, when the pair were stationed on a remote world and tasked with hunting vornskyr and uncovering a Collective spy. Their pale features, dark hair, and similar appearances often led others to mistake them for relatives. Although Vigo proved more than capable, Velira became increasingly protective of him. They later fought together within the Technodome, where they killed Kendra Icasta in a battle that cost Vigo an eye and ended with Velira consuming Icasta’s life essence. Since then, Velira has regarded him with an almost maternal affection.
[[File:Sirra combat attire.jpg|border|left|frameless|139x139px|Sirra]]

=== Sirra Werd'la ===
Velira first met [[Sirra Werd'la|Sirra]] within her stay in Clan Odan Urr, where the two worked together to investigate the whereabouts of Sirra's brother, Celevon. Though Sirra was mistrusting of Velira, the two's abilities complimented one another for the sake of investigating and reaching a successful conclusion. Eventually, Sirra and Velira by chance worked together yet again, on a second mission aiding to capture several targets. Velira regards Sirra with a sense of respect, specifically when it comes to her ability to control creatures.
[[File:Miho Headshot(1).jpg|left|frameless|163x163px|Miho]]

=== Mihoshi Keibatsu ===
After spending four years within Clan Odan Urr concealing her true nature as an Anzat, it was finally uncovered by [[Mihoshi Keibatsu]]. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a place to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator, while outwardly continuing to work as a medic to conceal this. Shortly after Miho's ascension to Consul, Velira carried out an undercover mission to obtain a strain of the rakghoul virus after a recent outbreak in Kaal City for her, something known only to the two of them. Velira regards Miho as one of the rare few who knows and accepts what she truly is.
[[File:Dusa-Headshot.png|left|frameless|114x114px]]

=== Dusa Harik ===
Velira met [[Dusa Harik|Dusa]] through a concealed criminal database, communicating anonymously via datapad. Mistaking Dusa's pale features for those of a fellow Anzat, Velira arranged a meeting hoping to help another of her kind find an ethical source of soup. Instead, she discovered Dusa was simply an enthusiast of the non life draining variety of soup. Amused, Velira joined her for a meal at her favorite restaurant, where she grew fond of Dusa's cheerful and quirky personality in contrast to her own stoic disposition. Though Velira did not reveal herself to be an Anzat, she did show Dusa some of her personal sketchbook, and the pair became unlikely friends.

== Trivia ==

* Velira's likeness is based on actress [https://i.makeagif.com/media/8-03-2015/PZa-Gs.gif Katie McGrath].
* She has the equivalent of a British accent, layered with a Romanian one. In actuality, one is from her home world of Anzat, combined with that of a Core World accent that she later picked up during her extended time spent there.
* The likeness of Velira's voice is based on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms1D7xvuF28 Jessica Brown Findlay]
* Velira’s droid, named Spyder, is loosely inspired by Thing from the Addams Family
* Velira learned how to play a B’omarr pipe organ, by feeding on the soup of the B’omarr monks of Tatooine, who were known for leaving their brains in jars once reaching enlightenment. How could she say no to free food?
* Velira is fond of making various anatomical sketches in her free time, that go along with her medical studies.

It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to [[Clan Odan-Urr]], a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. [[Mihoshi Keibatsu]], the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting aboard the [[Godless Matron|''Godless Matron'']], to align her interests with those of the notorious [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]]. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as both an infiltrator and a medic among them, aboard [[the Kraken]] and within the [[Shroud Syndicate]].

==== The Seventeenth Great Jedi War, Animus ====
As tensions with the [[The Collective|Collective]] escalated, Velira was called into service by her clan. Seeking to avoid pursuit from her Anzati family who wished to reclaim her and force her into service for their people, she answered Clan Odan Urr's call, and once again concealed herself among the clan’s medics and Jedi. Despite her efforts to remain inconspicuous, Velira rose to prominence throughout the conflict. Through her ties to the Shroud Syndicate, she traveled to a remote world alongside [[Vigo Zakirov]] to eliminate a Collective spy, later assisted in developing several battle plans, and participated in the infiltration of Rath Oligard’s estate, where she killed a high ranking duchess with deep ties to the Collective. Her final mission of the war took her into the Technodome alongside Vigo once again. There, she hunted down and killed [[The Collective: Technocratic Guild|Kendra Icasta,]] leader of the [[The Collective: Technocratic Guild|Technocratic Guild]], by draining her of her life essence. In recognition of her service and accomplishments, Velira was named [[Seventeenth Great Jedi War#Heroes|First Heroine]] of the [[Seventeenth Great Jedi War|Seventeenth Great Jedi War.]]

== Feeding Practices ==
While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified. Instead, Velira prefers to use the Anzati phrases of ''life'' ''essence or sea of memory.'' In comparison to others of her kind, Velira deems herself as taking a more "humane" approach when it comes to feeding. A few of these beliefs she chose to adopt after she became a medic.

==== Guiding Principles ====
There is one moral centered around feeding that Velira has vowed to herself to never break, for however many hundreds of years that she is alive for. She has vowed to herself to never feed upon the life essence from younglings, and would rather choose death over doing so. She views the minds of younglings as something precious and innocent, meant to be protected. As an Anzat, Velira has never fed on a youngling, but has hunted down other members of her species if she uncovered that they were found guilty of such a crime.

==== Quality Over Quantity ====
Due to years of exercising self control, while Velira is still prone to the traditional soup cravings as an Anzat, she is typically able to cope with those sensations without the need to impulsively feed. This allows her to be much more selective when it comes to her prey, as needed. Velira will typically opt to go after those with what she deems as stronger minds, if she is able to. Additionally, she feels that they have more of a fair chance of defending themselves, and so it reduces her guilt in doing so. The added benefit feeding on those with stronger minds or those who are stronger in the Force, is that the one meal can sustain Velira for much longer, as opposed to the equivalent of having quick snacks. If she is severely limited in her options, only then will she not act on this particular belief.

==== Acts of Mercy ====
Velira will not readily kill those that she feeds from, unless she uncovers that they are criminals, or under specific circumstances. Those specific circumstances sometimes arise from her patients that she oversees as a medic. If they are deemed beyond saving, or ask to be finally relieved of their suffering, only then will Velira feed from them until they pass away. She goes extra lengths to ensure that the procedure is quick and as painless as possible, certainly more painless than what is they may already have been experiencing.

==== Feeding Responsibly ====
In most circumstances, Velira go the extra length to aide her "meal" through the experience to the best of her abilities. Her proboscises are silky and precise in nature. Her knowledge as a medic and in different body systems allow her to mark specific areas of the brain to feed from, to limit the amount of harm caused. Additionally, she will typically only feed with one proboscis, while the other one is readily administering bacta fluid to the brain to help with replenishment and promote healing. She will do her best to take only what she needs, and not feed in excess. Even more so, if deemed necessary, Velira may oftentimes use the Force to alter the memories of those who she feeds on in a way so that they have no recollection of the experience, and can move forwards with their lives.

[[File:First kiss.PNG|thumb|426x426px|Velira and Morgan's first kiss ]]
[[File:11-Morgan-Sorenn.png|left|frameless|113x113px|Morgan ]]

=== Morgan B. Sorenn ===
Velira Morvane’s connection to [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] began with intent, hunger, and a calculated plan. Drawn initially by the intensity of Morgan’s life essence, what started as a calculated alignment of interests slowly became something else. Morgan proved to be one of the first, if not the only, people to truly accept Velira for what she is. In turn, Velira came to embrace Morgan fully: her chaos, her trauma, and the freedom that she embodies. Over time, the hunger that once defined Velira’s interest faded, replaced by genuine care. For each difference between them, something unexpected took shape— a sense of balance neither of them was meant to find. For each contrast, they came to understand one another in ways few others could, and their connection deepened.
[[File:Vigo WIKIfied.png|left|frameless|115x115px]]

=== Vigo Zakirov ===
Velira first met [[Vigo Zakirov|Vigo]] through the Shroud Syndicate during the Seventeenth Great Jedi War, when the pair were stationed on a remote world and tasked with hunting vornskyr and uncovering a Collective spy. Their pale features, dark hair, and similar appearances often led others to mistake them for relatives. Although Vigo proved more than capable, Velira became increasingly protective of him. They later fought together within the Technodome, where they killed Kendra Icasta in a battle that cost Vigo an eye and ended with Velira consuming Icasta’s life essence. Since then, Velira has regarded him with an almost maternal affection.
[[File:Sirra combat attire.jpg|border|left|frameless|139x139px|Sirra]]

=== Sirra Werd'la ===
Velira first met [[Sirra Werd'la|Sirra]] within her stay in Clan Odan Urr, where the two worked together to investigate the whereabouts of Sirra's brother, Celevon. Though Sirra was mistrusting of Velira, the two's abilities complimented one another for the sake of investigating and reaching a successful conclusion. Eventually, Sirra and Velira by chance worked together yet again, on a second mission aiding to capture several targets. Velira regards Sirra with a sense of respect, specifically when it comes to her ability to control creatures.
[[File:Miho Headshot(1).jpg|left|frameless|163x163px|Miho]]

=== Mihoshi Keibatsu ===
After spending four years within Clan Odan Urr concealing her true nature as an Anzat, it was finally uncovered by [[Mihoshi Keibatsu]]. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a place to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator, while outwardly continuing to work as a medic to conceal this. Shortly after Miho's ascension to Consul, Velira carried out an undercover mission to obtain a strain of the rakghoul virus after a recent outbreak in Kaal City for her, something known only to the two of them. Velira regards Miho as one of the rare few who knows and accepts what she truly is.
[[File:Dusa-Headshot.png|left|frameless|114x114px]]

=== Dusa Harik ===
Velira met [[Dusa Harik|Dusa]] through a concealed criminal database, communicating anonymously via datapad. Mistaking Dusa's pale features for those of a fellow Anzat, Velira arranged a meeting hoping to help another of her kind find an ethical source of soup. Instead, she discovered Dusa was simply an enthusiast of the non life draining variety of soup. Amused, Velira joined her for a meal at her favorite restaurant, where she grew fond of Dusa's cheerful and quirky personality in contrast to her own stoic disposition. Though Velira did not reveal herself to be an Anzat, she did show Dusa some of her personal sketchbook, and the pair became unlikely friends.

== Trivia ==

* Velira's likeness is based on actress [https://i.makeagif.com/media/8-03-2015/PZa-Gs.gif Katie McGrath].
* She has the equivalent of a British accent, layered with a Romanian one. In actuality, one is from her home world of Anzat, combined with that of a Core World accent that she later picked up during her extended time spent there.
* The likeness of Velira's voice is based on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms1D7xvuF28 Jessica Brown Findlay]
* Velira’s droid, named Spyder, is loosely inspired by Thing from the Addams Family
* Velira learned how to play a B’omarr pipe organ, by feeding on the soup of the B’omarr monks of Tatooine, who were known for leaving their brains in jars once reaching enlightenment. How could she say no to free food?

== Physical Description ==
[[File:VeliraSilkOutfit.jpg|left|thumb|546x546px|Velira's Physique ]]Despite her age, Velira physically appears only to be in her twenties. Her skin is smooth and porcelain-pale with a faint silvery undertone, flawless and almost luminous under light. Her heart shaped face is strikingly symmetrical, with high cheekbones and a narrow jawline that gives her a regal appearance. Thick, dark hair falls in loose curls, cascading over her shoulders with subtle maroon and violet undertones.

Her slightly upturned eyes are round to give her face a gentler appearance, despite the striking blood-red irises. They are framed by long, dark lashes and delicately arched brows, surrounded by shadows. Her lips are full and naturally dark, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

Her elegant figure is petite with soft, feminine curves, including a larger bust line. She has long, talon-like nails that come to naturally sharp points and are typically painted dark red in color.

Unlike others of her species, her nose remains symmetrical alongside the rest of her features, with a smooth bridge due to her intermixed heritage. Two slender facial tendrils—her Anzati proboscises— remain carefully hidden within her cheeks, invisible until she chooses to strike. When revealed, they are thin and semi-translucent compared to her already pale skin, giving them a silky, web-like appearance.
== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

From an early age, Velira displayed an acute sensitivity to the Force, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

Unknown to Velira at the time, there was a ruse for power among the other members of her family, hungry to take it for themselves. Her Mother had always kept a careful balance on their planet with distributing the prey as the sole ruler at the time, ensuring that no Anzat ever went without food. This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands. [[File:Nurse Velira 1.png|thumb|444x444px|Velira in her medic uniform ]]Following the death of her mother, Velira could no longer stand to be anywhere near her family, as her hatred grew along with the feeling of being trapped. She found her family’s way of life hollow and grotesque— predation stripped of its challenge, turned into indulgence without purpose. While the Morvanes feasted behind silk curtains and polished marble, Velira longed for the freedom of choosing her own path and living by her own strength. Finally, Velira forged a deal with her father— She could gain access to her share of the family wealth, and have 200 years of freedom, in exchange for then returning to the throne to serve her family as soon as that time runs out.
=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another... Or at least, what Velira perceived as love in the earlier stages of her life. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

There, in the darkness and silence of her entombment, she adapted. Unable to feed at will, she turned inward, using the Force to suppress her hunger, and extend the time she could go without sustenance for days at a time. These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.[[File:Untitled Artwork (3).PNG|thumb|476x476px|Velira's armor|left]]

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership. Rather than fleeing, Velira turned her focus to vengeance once more—this time against the entire coven.

Over the span of years, she methodically and covertly eliminated its members, each death disguised as misfortune, accident, or the work of rival clans. By the time her campaign of quiet destruction was complete, the coven had been reduced to scattered survivors. Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|301x301px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to [[Clan Odan-Urr]], a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation.

Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as both an infiltrator and a medic among them, aboard [[the Kraken]] and within the [[Shroud Syndicate]].

==== The Seventeenth Great Jedi War, Animus ====
As tensions with the [[The Collective|Collective]] escalated, Velira was called into service by her clan. Seeking to avoid pursuit from her Anzati family who wished to reclaim her and force her into service for their people, she answered Clan Odan Urr's call, and once again concealed herself among the clan’s medics and Jedi. Despite her efforts to remain inconspicuous, Velira rose to prominence throughout the conflict. Through her ties to the Shroud Syndicate, she traveled to a remote world alongside [[Vigo Zakirov]] to eliminate a Collective spy, later assisted in developing several battle plans, and participated in the infiltration of Rath Oligard’s estate, where she killed a high ranking duchess with deep ties to the Collective. Her final mission of the war took her into the Technodome alongside Vigo once again. There, she hunted down and killed [[The Collective: Technocratic Guild|Kendra Icasta,]] leader of the [[The Collective: Technocratic Guild|Technocratic Guild]], by draining her of her life essence. In recognition of her service and accomplishments, Velira was named [[Seventeenth Great Jedi War#Heroes|First Heroine]] of the [[Seventeenth Great Jedi War|Seventeenth Great Jedi War.]]

While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified.

Velira first met [[Sirra Werd'la|Sirra]] within her stay in Clan Odan Urr, where the two worked together to investigate the whereabouts of Sirra's brother, Celevon. Though Sirra was mistrusting of Velira, the two's abilities complimented one another for the sake of investigating and reaching a successful conclusion. Eventually, Sirra and Velira by chance worked together yet again, on a second mission aiding to capture several targets. Velira regards Sirra with a sense of respect, specifically when it comes to her ability to control creatures.

=== Mihoshi Keibatsu ===
After spending four years within Clan Odan Urr concealing her true nature as an Anzat, it was finally uncovered by [[Mihoshi Keibatsu]]. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a place to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator, while outwardly continuing to work as a medic to conceal this. Shortly after Miho's ascension to Consul, Velira carried out an undercover mission to obtain a strain of the rakghoul virus after a recent outbreak in Kaal City for her, something known only to the two of them. Velira regards Miho as one of the rare few who knows and accepts what she truly is.

=== Dusa Harik ===
Velira met [[Dusa Harik|Dusa]] through a concealed criminal database, communicating anonymously via datapad. Mistaking Dusa's pale features for those of a fellow Anzat, Velira arranged a meeting hoping to help another of her kind find an ethical source of soup. Instead, she discovered Dusa was simply an enthusiast of the non life draining variety of soup. Amused, Velira joined her for a meal at her favorite restaurant, where she grew fond of Dusa's cheerful and quirky personality in contrast to her own stoic disposition. Though Velira did not reveal herself to be an Anzat, she did show Dusa some of her personal sketchbook, and the pair became unlikely friends.

== Trivia ==

* Velira's likeness is based on actress [https://i.makeagif.com/media/8-03-2015/PZa-Gs.gif Katie McGrath].
* She has the equivalent of a British accent, layered with a Romanian one. In actuality, one is from her home world of Anzat, combined with that of a Core World accent that she later picked up during her extended time spent there.
* The likeness of Velira's voice is based on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms1D7xvuF28 Jessica Brown Findlay]
* Velira’s droid, named Spyder, is loosely inspired by Thing from the Addams Family
* Velira learned how to play a B’omarr pipe organ, by feeding on the soup of the B’omarr monks of Tatooine, who were known for leaving their brains in jars once reaching enlightenment. How could she say no to free food?
* Velira is fond of making various anatomical sketches in her free time, that go along with her medical studies.

The Seventeenth Great Jedi War, also known as '''GJW XVII: Animus''', is a Brotherhood event running from May 23, 2026 to June 26, 2026.

== Story ==

=== Summary ===

For years, [[The Collective]] has worked to destroy [[The Brotherhood]]. Led by the increasingly unhinged [[Collective#Rath Oligard|Rath Oligard]], they have led attacks on Brotherhood space again and again. Now, their home has been discovered, the [[Cor'neria System]]. The time has come for the Brotherhood to press the assault against their long standing enemy. The deep and long gestating animus between these two factions has reached its inevitable conclusion. Peace is impossible, one must end.

=== [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KhqRpj4GxHqzhZKjcE4W_IRfVBrpZgaE/view?usp=sharing Prologue] ===

The Council gathers on Arx, during which [[Darth Renatus]] reveals that the Strategic Tactical AI Resource (S.T.A.R.) has been able to gather details on the Cor’neria System. Although there are some disputes within the Brotherhood's borders, it is agreed that they should press ahead with an attack. Although hesitant initially to involve the Clans, it is decided they should be involved. During the meeting, sightings of [[Dacien Victae]] following his disappearance are discussed and it is realised from sightings that he is likely en route to Cor’neria himself.

At the same time on Hirkado-II, [[Idris Adenn]] and [[Kamjin Lap’lamiz]] bring an imprisoned pirate by the name of Jinkam before two of the [[Severian Principate|Severian Principate's]] leaders. As the pirate broke both [[Tenixir Revenants|Revenant]] and Severian laws he is being judged by representatives of both groups, using Jinkam's punishment as as leverage in their favour, only to reveal that "Kamjin" was a projected hologram over a droid frame once the meeting is done.

On Elizabeth-I in the Cor'neria System, Rath Oligard sits considering the loss of his spy network, and the removal of an edge that gave them over the Brotherhood. Further losses such as the disappearance of Capital Enterprises' new leader, Varryn Antillus, weighs heavily on his mind. Amid the latest of several violent outbursts, he demands from Icasta Kendra the location of Varryn, eventually gaining from her that he is overseeing the construction of their fleet's new assets from their shipyard. Kendra also takes a moment to criticise Oligard's decisions, especially all but completely exposing their location to the Brotherhood.

Later Kendra directly messages Varryn, confirming that Oligard is becoming increasingly unstable and is threatening them all. The violent outbursts are part of why Varryn has forced him to avoid Oligard, to the point of ignoring his calls and even direct orders from Kendra. Following a communication with Kendra, Varryn finally opts to answer one of Oligard's messages.

=== [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FvR4CI8ufNvMDC5pTV1kiV-7_lUd71M5/view?usp=sharing Chapter I] ===

Preparing for war and gathering the Iron Legions, the Council plans its next move while on Arx. [[Uji Tameike]] reflects on the impending battle and is questioned over the possible losses even should they win the conflict.

At the same time on the Isabella Ship Yard in the Cor'neria System, Varryn Antillus' personal droid cites growing concerns among the Enterprises' Board of Directors, demanding full disclosures in regard to his recent choices. Varryn freely admits he is trying to avoid them, the droid, and Oligard, growing increasingly concerned about their leader's personal choices. Acting covertly and demanding a communications blackout, Varryn begins planning to move several ships to the L2 Lagrange point, preparing to head off a likely impending assault from the Brotherhood.

Varryn's small flotilla is moved to the jump point, and uses its gravity well projectors to successfully intercept the Brotherhood's first wave, Fate Squadron. On board the Tector-class Star Destroyer ''Ravager'', Uji orders the remaining fleet to drop out of hyperspace before they can crash into the gravity wells. The ''Ravager'' endures the opening bombardment over the initial volley, but is able to overcome the waiting blockade by revealing a planned trap. One of the Brotherhood's own ships, the Raider II-class Corvette ''Astraeus'', was already in the system and operating on minimal power. The flanking attack is enough to break the formation and allow Fate Squadron to press its attack.

While ordering a full retreat of the ships before they are lost, Varryn is contacted by Avitus Oligard, who had long parted ways from the Collective. Varryn ignores Avitus' pleas about his brother's insanity once his ships detect the arrival of the ''Legacy'', the first of the Brotherhood's new class of Star Dreadnoughts. Joined by Dragon Squadron, Storm Squadron, Transport Force Omega, and the Godless Matron, Silence, and Schism; the Brotherhood is falling the bulk of its forces into the attack. Avitus is on the ''Legacy's'' bridge, and sadly reflects to Renatus that his pleas for sanity will not save them all.

On Elizabeth-I, Rath Oligard has already all but written off Varryn and sees him as a traitor, but allows him to move ahead and attack the Brotherhood. He then orders Kendra to join him at their HQ, and prepare for their worst-case scenario.

=== [https://drive.google.com/file/d/18V35IU-OZN2IdV4wRMj6Cl_64Awr2JbB/view?usp=sharing Chapter II] ===

As the Brotherhood and Collective navies engage one another in a pitch battle, the Collective enacts a scorched earth policy. In an effort to deny the Brotherhood an easy landing site and slow them, the Collective bombarded Nei’kapo from orbit. This set the agricultural world ablaze, burning whole regions at a time. Uji detects a [[StarWars:Shatterpoint/Legends|shatterpoint]] in the Force, realising it is stemming from where the ''Legacy'' is pinned between two Collective ships using gravity wells to anchor it in place and bombard it from all sides. Uji reflects briefly on a time two days prior to the attack, remembering the choices he made and the certainty of those he would be sending to their deaths if deployed on the wrong site. His concerns lingered over a tear in the Force, and his limited ability to predict it.

As the Liberation Front's armies continue to indiscriminately attack civilians, the Iron Legionaries, and burn the very planet, the fighting on the surface becomes bogged down in close range melees. Some of Uji's choices save the lives of those present there despite the odds, but his own vision of the future is limited.

With heavy losses being taken in the attack, Uji recognises the shatterpoint surrounding the ''Legacy'' and realises why his vision of the future was limited. Using the ''Pride'' as a battering ram, Uji is able to free the ''Legacy'' by fighting his way through through forces surrounding the ship. With the ''Pride'' in flames, he is able to ram one Collective cruiser and then destroy a nearby Golan III station, freeing up the ''Legacy'' to continue the battle.

With the battle still underway, the ''Legacy'' detects a wealth of new contacts arriving into the system from the other side of the planet.

=== [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GdUOdE7r4Wmy7Rj7KjM8T4hCkc2trX0b/view?usp=sharing Chapter III and Epilogue] ===

Casualties continue to mount among the Iron Legion, with an estimated two in every five ships incapable of fighting. The new contacts arriving are other Collective vessels, jumping in now that attrition has taken its toll on the Brotherhood and their main force has begun to fragment into various battlefronts. Yet rather than singularly focusing on the Brotherhood, the newly arriving vessels begin attacking everything in sight, indiscriminately shooting at the Collective ships already in system.

With the assault on Nei’joule turning against the Brotherhood, Reantus orders all communications to be routed through the legacy to maintain some degree of control over the battle and limit panic. With Uji's final words of "Not consequence. Responsibility." echoing in his mind, Reantus orders that their reserves be committed to the fight and to have the forward assault force withdraw and regroup. Arconan, Odanite, and Taldryan begin arriving in the system and joining the battle.

On Elizabeth-I, Varryn furiously decries Oligard's attack on everything in the system including his own Collective vessels. In the grip of madness, Oligard denounces Varryn for not being loyal to the Collective's cause and making it clear that Capital Enterprises was little more than a tool for his benefit. AS the communication ends, Varryn makes orders to evacuate to be contacted from another source. [[Alaris Jinn]] messages Varryn directly, announcing an ongoing situation - A fire sale of Capital Enterprises' stock. Having bought up shares and invested covertly via shell companies following Enterprises' losses at [[Meridian Prime space station]], Jinn is selling them and triggering a huge crash in the company's value. Although openly taunting Varryn over this, Alaris makes Capital Enterprises an offer - Have their military stand down and open the way in. If Varryn did so, Alaris would be open to a merger between companies, giving Capital Enterprises a means of survival.

In orbit, the arrival of the clans has changed the tide of battle. Simultaneously striking the Collective fleets and deploying troops onto the surface of each engagement zone, it's enough to break the back of the Collective's battle lines and finally make them crumble. As the battle in orbit continues, ODN Knight’s Vigil deploys its drop pods to Elizabeth-II, landing in the Technodome. Sweeping through the area, the troops begin downloading technical data from any secured system, sabotaging production lines, and hunting down any remaining members of the Technocrat hierarchy. Kendra attempts a final stand among the ruined production facilities, only to be killed following a fierce duel against [[Vigo Zakirov]] and [[Velira Morvane]], which ended in the female Anzat consuming her life essence.

With Capital Enterprises standing down and the Technocrat Guild all but destroyed, only the Liberation Front remains. As Renatus directs further attacks on the Collective, he learns that the ''Astraeus'', the ship mysteriously already in the system, is heading directly for Nei’joule. On the ship, former Grandmaster Dacien gathers his weapons and equipment, departing to deal with Rath Oligard in person. Taking apart any resistance in his path, Dacien heads for the Estate of the Lord Superior, casually drinking from a mug as he approaches the building.

Catching Oligard as he rants before a control system, trying to regain control of the battle, Dacien hurls the mug and its contents at Rath, earning the surprised reaction of “Did— Did you just throw a Pumpkin Spiced Latte at me?”

In a brutal but one sided engagement, Dacien brings Oligar low and removes one of his arms. Oligard in turn reveals he had prepared in advance, and was holding a detonator to a machine, capable of making the Cor’nerian sun enter its supernova state. Focused upon Dacien, Oligard is caught by surprise as Avitus sneaks into the room and guns him down from behind.

In the aftermath of the battle, the Brotherhood returns to Arx to mourn its dead and rebuild its strength. Following a funeral for Uji, and the promotion of Barafu Endrin to Fist, they reflect on the costs. Nei’kapo is being rebuilt, the system now under Brotherhood protection with a small garrison on site. With Capital Enterprises covering much of the costs of the reconstruction following a restructuring settlement, the Brotherhood is working to reverse the harm caused by the Collective.

Renatus looks over at the seat where Uji once sat, now occupied by Barafu, and believes for the briefest moment to see Uji within the Force standing over him. For the first time since the funeral, he smiles.

Seventeenth Great Jedi War

2026-08-12T19:59:18Z

Velira Morvane: Chapter III and Epilogue: I hope this is okay. I really wanted to add in a tiny little bit about the fact Velira consumed Kendra's life essence in the duel, which canonically happened. I did it tastefully without detracting from the facts of the article. Additionally, I have that factoid written on Velira's wiki as well, and wanted it reflected here so it doesn't seem like I'm just making it up.

The Seventeenth Great Jedi War, also known as '''GJW XVII: Animus''', is a Brotherhood event running from May 23, 2026 to June 26, 2026.

== Story ==

=== Summary ===

For years, [[The Collective]] has worked to destroy [[The Brotherhood]]. Led by the increasingly unhinged [[Collective#Rath Oligard|Rath Oligard]], they have led attacks on Brotherhood space again and again. Now, their home has been discovered, the [[Cor'neria System]]. The time has come for the Brotherhood to press the assault against their long standing enemy. The deep and long gestating animus between these two factions has reached its inevitable conclusion. Peace is impossible, one must end.

=== [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KhqRpj4GxHqzhZKjcE4W_IRfVBrpZgaE/view?usp=sharing Prologue] ===

The Council gathers on Arx, during which [[Darth Renatus]] reveals that the Strategic Tactical AI Resource (S.T.A.R.) has been able to gather details on the Cor’neria System. Although there are some disputes within the Brotherhood's borders, it is agreed that they should press ahead with an attack. Although hesitant initially to involve the Clans, it is decided they should be involved. During the meeting, sightings of [[Dacien Victae]] following his disappearance are discussed and it is realised from sightings that he is likely en route to Cor’neria himself.

At the same time on Hirkado-II, [[Idris Adenn]] and [[Kamjin Lap’lamiz]] bring an imprisoned pirate by the name of Jinkam before two of the [[Severian Principate|Severian Principate's]] leaders. As the pirate broke both [[Tenixir Revenants|Revenant]] and Severian laws he is being judged by representatives of both groups, using Jinkam's punishment as as leverage in their favour, only to reveal that "Kamjin" was a projected hologram over a droid frame once the meeting is done.

On Elizabeth-I in the Cor'neria System, Rath Oligard sits considering the loss of his spy network, and the removal of an edge that gave them over the Brotherhood. Further losses such as the disappearance of Capital Enterprises' new leader, Varryn Antillus, weighs heavily on his mind. Amid the latest of several violent outbursts, he demands from Icasta Kendra the location of Varryn, eventually gaining from her that he is overseeing the construction of their fleet's new assets from their shipyard. Kendra also takes a moment to criticise Oligard's decisions, especially all but completely exposing their location to the Brotherhood.

Later Kendra directly messages Varryn, confirming that Oligard is becoming increasingly unstable and is threatening them all. The violent outbursts are part of why Varryn has forced him to avoid Oligard, to the point of ignoring his calls and even direct orders from Kendra. Following a communication with Kendra, Varryn finally opts to answer one of Oligard's messages.

=== [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FvR4CI8ufNvMDC5pTV1kiV-7_lUd71M5/view?usp=sharing Chapter I] ===

Preparing for war and gathering the Iron Legions, the Council plans its next move while on Arx. [[Uji Tameike]] reflects on the impending battle and is questioned over the possible losses even should they win the conflict.

At the same time on the Isabella Ship Yard in the Cor'neria System, Varryn Antillus' personal droid cites growing concerns among the Enterprises' Board of Directors, demanding full disclosures in regard to his recent choices. Varryn freely admits he is trying to avoid them, the droid, and Oligard, growing increasingly concerned about their leader's personal choices. Acting covertly and demanding a communications blackout, Varryn begins planning to move several ships to the L2 Lagrange point, preparing to head off a likely impending assault from the Brotherhood.

Varryn's small flotilla is moved to the jump point, and uses its gravity well projectors to successfully intercept the Brotherhood's first wave, Fate Squadron. On board the Tector-class Star Destroyer ''Ravager'', Uji orders the remaining fleet to drop out of hyperspace before they can crash into the gravity wells. The ''Ravager'' endures the opening bombardment over the initial volley, but is able to overcome the waiting blockade by revealing a planned trap. One of the Brotherhood's own ships, the Raider II-class Corvette ''Astraeus'', was already in the system and operating on minimal power. The flanking attack is enough to break the formation and allow Fate Squadron to press its attack.

While ordering a full retreat of the ships before they are lost, Varryn is contacted by Avitus Oligard, who had long parted ways from the Collective. Varryn ignores Avitus' pleas about his brother's insanity once his ships detect the arrival of the ''Legacy'', the first of the Brotherhood's new class of Star Dreadnoughts. Joined by Dragon Squadron, Storm Squadron, Transport Force Omega, and the Godless Matron, Silence, and Schism; the Brotherhood is falling the bulk of its forces into the attack. Avitus is on the ''Legacy's'' bridge, and sadly reflects to Renatus that his pleas for sanity will not save them all.

On Elizabeth-I, Rath Oligard has already all but written off Varryn and sees him as a traitor, but allows him to move ahead and attack the Brotherhood. He then orders Kendra to join him at their HQ, and prepare for their worst-case scenario.

=== [https://drive.google.com/file/d/18V35IU-OZN2IdV4wRMj6Cl_64Awr2JbB/view?usp=sharing Chapter II] ===

As the Brotherhood and Collective navies engage one another in a pitch battle, the Collective enacts a scorched earth policy. In an effort to deny the Brotherhood an easy landing site and slow them, the Collective bombarded Nei’kapo from orbit. This set the agricultural world ablaze, burning whole regions at a time. Uji detects a [[StarWars:Shatterpoint/Legends|shatterpoint]] in the Force, realising it is stemming from where the ''Legacy'' is pinned between two Collective ships using gravity wells to anchor it in place and bombard it from all sides. Uji reflects briefly on a time two days prior to the attack, remembering the choices he made and the certainty of those he would be sending to their deaths if deployed on the wrong site. His concerns lingered over a tear in the Force, and his limited ability to predict it.

As the Liberation Front's armies continue to indiscriminately attack civilians, the Iron Legionaries, and burn the very planet, the fighting on the surface becomes bogged down in close range melees. Some of Uji's choices save the lives of those present there despite the odds, but his own vision of the future is limited.

With heavy losses being taken in the attack, Uji recognises the shatterpoint surrounding the ''Legacy'' and realises why his vision of the future was limited. Using the ''Pride'' as a battering ram, Uji is able to free the ''Legacy'' by fighting his way through through forces surrounding the ship. With the ''Pride'' in flames, he is able to ram one Collective cruiser and then destroy a nearby Golan III station, freeing up the ''Legacy'' to continue the battle.

With the battle still underway, the ''Legacy'' detects a wealth of new contacts arriving into the system from the other side of the planet.

=== [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GdUOdE7r4Wmy7Rj7KjM8T4hCkc2trX0b/view?usp=sharing Chapter III and Epilogue] ===

Casualties continue to mount among the Iron Legion, with an estimated two in every five ships incapable of fighting. The new contacts arriving are other Collective vessels, jumping in now that attrition has taken its toll on the Brotherhood and their main force has begun to fragment into various battlefronts. Yet rather than singularly focusing on the Brotherhood, the newly arriving vessels begin attacking everything in sight, indiscriminately shooting at the Collective ships already in system.

With the assault on Nei’joule turning against the Brotherhood, Reantus orders all communications to be routed through the legacy to maintain some degree of control over the battle and limit panic. With Uji's final words of "Not consequence. Responsibility." echoing in his mind, Reantus orders that their reserves be committed to the fight and to have the forward assault force withdraw and regroup. Arconan, Odanite, and Taldryan begin arriving in the system and joining the battle.

On Elizabeth-I, Varryn furiously decries Oligard's attack on everything in the system including his own Collective vessels. In the grip of madness, Oligard denounces Varryn for not being loyal to the Collective's cause and making it clear that Capital Enterprises was little more than a tool for his benefit. AS the communication ends, Varryn makes orders to evacuate to be contacted from another source. [[Alaris Jinn]] messages Varryn directly, announcing an ongoing situation - A fire sale of Capital Enterprises' stock. Having bought up shares and invested covertly via shell companies following Enterprises' losses at [[Meridian Prime space station]], Jinn is selling them and triggering a huge crash in the company's value. Although openly taunting Varryn over this, Alaris makes Capital Enterprises an offer - Have their military stand down and open the way in. If Varryn did so, Alaris would be open to a merger between companies, giving Capital Enterprises a means of survival.

In orbit, the arrival of the clans has changed the tide of battle. Simultaneously striking the Collective fleets and deploying troops onto the surface of each engagement zone, it's enough to break the back of the Collective's battle lines and finally make them crumble. As the battle in orbit continues, ODN Knight’s Vigil deploys its drop pods to Elizabeth-II, landing in the Technodome. Sweeping through the area, the troops begin downloading technical data from any secured system, sabotaging production lines, and hunting down any remaining members of the Technocrat hierarchy. Kendra attempts a final stand among the ruined production facilities, only to be killed following a fierce duel against [[Vigo Zakirov]] and [[Velira Morvane]], which ended in the female Anzat extracting her life essence.

With Capital Enterprises standing down and the Technocrat Guild all but destroyed, only the Liberation Front remains. As Renatus directs further attacks on the Collective, he learns that the ''Astraeus'', the ship mysteriously already in the system, is heading directly for Nei’joule. On the ship, former Grandmaster Dacien gathers his weapons and equipment, departing to deal with Rath Oligard in person. Taking apart any resistance in his path, Dacien heads for the Estate of the Lord Superior, casually drinking from a mug as he approaches the building.

Catching Oligard as he rants before a control system, trying to regain control of the battle, Dacien hurls the mug and its contents at Rath, earning the surprised reaction of “Did— Did you just throw a Pumpkin Spiced Latte at me?”

In a brutal but one sided engagement, Dacien brings Oligar low and removes one of his arms. Oligard in turn reveals he had prepared in advance, and was holding a detonator to a machine, capable of making the Cor’nerian sun enter its supernova state. Focused upon Dacien, Oligard is caught by surprise as Avitus sneaks into the room and guns him down from behind.

In the aftermath of the battle, the Brotherhood returns to Arx to mourn its dead and rebuild its strength. Following a funeral for Uji, and the promotion of Barafu Endrin to Fist, they reflect on the costs. Nei’kapo is being rebuilt, the system now under Brotherhood protection with a small garrison on site. With Capital Enterprises covering much of the costs of the reconstruction following a restructuring settlement, the Brotherhood is working to reverse the harm caused by the Collective.

Renatus looks over at the seat where Uji once sat, now occupied by Barafu, and believes for the briefest moment to see Uji within the Force standing over him. For the first time since the funeral, he smiles.

== History ==
The ''Gravewalker'' began its life during the [[starwars:High Republic Era|High Republic Era]] as a [[starwars:Spider Cruiser|Spider Cruiser]] constructed for a small band of [[starwars:Nihil|Nihil Marauders]]. Built in the likeness of a spider, the vessel was designed to serve as both an armed ship and a mobile hunting platform. The original crew had developed a particular reputation for hunting the species known as Anzati. Following several encounters with the species, the marauders modified the cruiser specifically for that purpose, reinforcing its internal security systems and fitting portions of the vessel with restraints, sensor equipment, and a containment space intended for making captures. The ship became closely associated with the group’s hunts, and was used to pursue suspected Anzati across several remote systems.

[[Velira Morvane]] came into their sights while she was still young by Anzati standards and had not yet learned to exert consistent control over her hunger. A series of deaths near a remote settlement drew the marauders into the region, and the evidence left behind convinced them that an Anzat was responsible. They began tracking Velira, with the intention of capturing her.[[File:Nihil Marauders.png|left|thumb|319x319px|Members of the ''Gravewalker''’s original crew of Anzat hunting marauders, prior to meeting their demise ]]After weeks of careful, the Anzati female later planned her own attack on the vessel while evading the marauders. Velira infiltrated the Spider Cruiser rather than confronting it outright, by disguising herself as one of the crewmates and quietly embedding herself among them. Over the course of several months, she learned the vessel’s routines, passages, and security systems while gradually thinning it's crew. The marauders began to disappear one at a time... Some during planetary excursions, others while isolated in the ship's cargo area.
Velira took possession of the Spider Cruiser immediately afterward, using it's own navigation records and access codes to remove it from Nihil controlled space. She later renamed the vessel the ''Gravewalker,'' in memory of the crew she had methodically hunted, for the lives of the Anzati that the ship had claimed in the years prior, and for what was meant to symbolize both the ship’s affiliation with death and her own emergence as the only one left to walk within it.

Over the centuries that followed, the ship was modified to suit Velira’s needs. Engines, armor, weapons, sensors, and internal compartments were replaced or modified as technology advanced. The most extensive modernization came with the installation of an advanced droid brain and advanced slave circuit, allowing the ''Gravewalker'' to coordinate many routine functions without an actual crew. Beneath centuries of modifications, portions of the original arachnid frame still endured— the same vessel once built to hunt Anzati, claimed by one of its intended victims, and carried forward as a personal vessel.

== Physical Description ==
[[File:VeliraSilkOutfit.jpg|left|thumb|546x546px|Velira's Physique ]]Despite her age, Velira physically appears only to be in her twenties. Her skin is smooth and porcelain-pale with a faint silvery undertone, flawless and almost luminous under light. Her heart shaped face is strikingly symmetrical, with high cheekbones and a narrow jawline that gives her a regal appearance. Thick, dark hair falls in loose curls, cascading over her shoulders with subtle maroon and violet undertones.

Her slightly upturned eyes are round to give her face a gentler appearance, despite the striking blood-red irises. They are framed by long, dark lashes and delicately arched brows, surrounded by shadows. Her lips are full and naturally dark, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

Her elegant figure is petite with soft, feminine curves, including a larger bust line. She has long, talon-like nails that come to naturally sharp points and are typically painted dark red in color.

Unlike others of her species, her nose remains symmetrical alongside the rest of her features, with a smooth bridge due to her intermixed heritage. Two slender facial tendrils—her Anzati proboscises— remain carefully hidden within her cheeks, invisible until she chooses to strike. When revealed, they are thin and semi-translucent compared to her already pale skin, giving them a silky, web-like appearance.
== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

From an early age, Velira displayed an acute sensitivity to the Force, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

Unknown to Velira at the time, there was a ruse for power among the other members of her family, hungry to take it for themselves. Her Mother had always kept a careful balance on their planet with distributing the prey as the sole ruler at the time, ensuring that no Anzat ever went without food. This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands. [[File:Nurse Velira 1.png|thumb|444x444px|Velira in her medic uniform ]]Following the death of her mother, Velira could no longer stand to be anywhere near her family, as her hatred grew along with the feeling of being trapped. She found her family’s way of life hollow and grotesque— predation stripped of its challenge, turned into indulgence without purpose. While the Morvanes feasted behind silk curtains and polished marble, Velira longed for the freedom of choosing her own path and living by her own strength. Finally, Velira forged a deal with her father— She could gain access to her share of the family wealth, and have 200 years of freedom, in exchange for then returning to the throne to serve her family as soon as that time runs out.
=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another... Or at least, what Velira perceived as love in the earlier stages of her life. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

There, in the darkness and silence of her entombment, she adapted. Unable to feed at will, she turned inward, using the Force to suppress her hunger, and extend the time she could go without sustenance for days at a time. These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.[[File:Untitled Artwork (3).PNG|thumb|476x476px|Velira's armor|left]]

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership. Rather than fleeing, Velira turned her focus to vengeance once more—this time against the entire coven.

Over the span of years, she methodically and covertly eliminated its members, each death disguised as misfortune, accident, or the work of rival clans. By the time her campaign of quiet destruction was complete, the coven had been reduced to scattered survivors. Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|301x301px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to [[Clan Odan-Urr]], a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. [[Mihoshi Keibatsu]], the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting aboard the [[Godless Matron|''Godless Matron'']], to align her interests with those of the notorious [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]]. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as both an infiltrator and a medic among them, aboard [[the Kraken]] and within the [[Shroud Syndicate]].

==== The Seventeenth Great Jedi War, Animus ====
As tensions with the [[The Collective|Collective]] escalated, Velira was called into service by her clan. Seeking to avoid pursuit from her Anzati family who wished to reclaim her and force her into service for their people, she answered Clan Odan Urr's call, and once again concealed herself among the clan’s medics and Jedi. Despite her efforts to remain inconspicuous, Velira rose to prominence throughout the conflict. Through her ties to the Shroud Syndicate, she traveled to a remote world alongside [[Vigo Zakirov]] to eliminate a Collective spy, later assisted in developing several battle plans, and participated in the infiltration of Rath Oligard’s estate, where she killed a high ranking duchess with deep ties to the Collective. Her final mission of the war took her into the Technodome alongside Vigo once again. There, she hunted down and killed [[The Collective: Technocratic Guild|Kendra Icasta,]] leader of the [[The Collective: Technocratic Guild|Technocratic Guild]], by draining her of her life essence. In recognition of her service and accomplishments, Velira was named First Heroine of the Seventeenth Great Jedi War.

While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified. Instead, Velira prefers to use the Anzati phrases of ''life'' ''essence or sea of memory.'' In comparison to others of her kind, Velira deems herself as taking a more "humane" approach when it comes to feeding. A few of these beliefs she chose to adopt after she became a medic.

==== Guiding Principles ====
There is one moral centered around feeding that Velira has vowed to herself to never break, for however many hundreds of years that she is alive for. She has vowed to herself to never feed upon the life essence from younglings, and would rather choose death over doing so. She views the minds of younglings as something precious and innocent, meant to be protected. As an Anzat, Velira has never fed on a youngling, but has hunted down other members of her species if she uncovered that they were found guilty of such a crime.

==== Quality Over Quantity ====
Due to years of exercising self control, while Velira is still prone to the traditional soup cravings as an Anzat, she is typically able to cope with those sensations without the need to impulsively feed. This allows her to be much more selective when it comes to her prey, as needed. Velira will typically opt to go after those with what she deems as stronger minds, if she is able to. Additionally, she feels that they have more of a fair chance of defending themselves, and so it reduces her guilt in doing so. The added benefit feeding on those with stronger minds or those who are stronger in the Force, is that the one meal can sustain Velira for much longer, as opposed to the equivalent of having quick snacks. If she is severely limited in her options, only then will she not act on this particular belief.

==== Acts of Mercy ====
Velira will not readily kill those that she feeds from, unless she uncovers that they are criminals, or under specific circumstances. Those specific circumstances sometimes arise from her patients that she oversees as a medic. If they are deemed beyond saving, or ask to be finally relieved of their suffering, only then will Velira feed from them until they pass away. She goes extra lengths to ensure that the procedure is quick and as painless as possible, certainly more painless than what is they may already have been experiencing.

==== Feeding Responsibly ====
In most circumstances, Velira go the extra length to aide her "meal" through the experience to the best of her abilities. Her proboscises are silky and precise in nature. Her knowledge as a medic and in different body systems allow her to mark specific areas of the brain to feed from, to limit the amount of harm caused. Additionally, she will typically only feed with one proboscis, while the other one is readily administering bacta fluid to the brain to help with replenishment and promote healing. She will do her best to take only what she needs, and not feed in excess. Even more so, if deemed necessary, Velira may oftentimes use the Force to alter the memories of those who she feeds on in a way so that they have no recollection of the experience, and can move forwards with their lives.

== Relationships ==
[[File:First kiss.PNG|thumb|426x426px|Velira and Morgan's first kiss ]]
[[File:11-Morgan-Sorenn.png|left|frameless|113x113px|Morgan ]]

=== Morgan B. Sorenn ===
Velira Morvane’s connection to [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] began with intent, hunger, and a calculated plan. Drawn initially by the intensity of Morgan’s life essence, what started as a calculated alignment of interests slowly became something else. Morgan proved to be one of the first, if not the only, people to truly accept Velira for what she is. In turn, Velira came to embrace Morgan fully: her chaos, her trauma, and the freedom that she embodies. Over time, the hunger that once defined Velira’s interest faded, replaced by genuine care. For each difference between them, something unexpected took shape— a sense of balance neither of them was meant to find. For each contrast, they came to understand one another in ways few others could, and their connection deepened.
[[File:Vigo WIKIfied.png|left|frameless|115x115px]]

=== Vigo Zakirov ===
Velira first met [[Vigo Zakirov|Vigo]] through the Shroud Syndicate during the Seventeenth Great Jedi War, when the pair were stationed on a remote world and tasked with hunting vornskyr and uncovering a Collective spy. Their pale features, dark hair, and similar appearances often led others to mistake them for relatives. Although Vigo proved more than capable, Velira became increasingly protective of him. They later fought together within the Technodome, where they killed Kendra Icasta in a battle that cost Vigo an eye and ended with Velira consuming Icasta’s life essence. Since then, Velira has regarded him with an almost maternal affection.
[[File:Sirra combat attire.jpg|border|left|frameless|139x139px|Sirra]]

=== Sirra Werd'la ===
Velira first met [[Sirra Werd'la|Sirra]] within her stay in Clan Odan Urr, where the two worked together to investigate the whereabouts of Sirra's brother, Celevon. Though Sirra was mistrusting of Velira, the two's abilities complimented one another for the sake of investigating and reaching a successful conclusion. Eventually, Sirra and Velira by chance worked together yet again, on a second mission aiding to capture several targets. Velira regards Sirra with a sense of respect, specifically when it comes to her ability to control creatures.
[[File:Miho Headshot(1).jpg|left|frameless|163x163px|Miho]]

=== Mihoshi Keibatsu ===
After spending four years within Clan Odan Urr concealing her true nature as an Anzat, it was finally uncovered by [[Mihoshi Keibatsu]]. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a place to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator, while outwardly continuing to work as a medic to conceal this. Shortly after Miho's ascension to Consul, Velira carried out an undercover mission to obtain a strain of the rakghoul virus after a recent outbreak in Kaal City for her, something known only to the two of them. Velira regards Miho as one of the rare few who knows and accepts what she truly is.
[[File:Dusa-Headshot.png|left|frameless|114x114px]]

=== Dusa Harik ===
Velira met [[Dusa Harik|Dusa]] through a concealed criminal database, communicating anonymously via datapad. Mistaking Dusa's pale features for those of a fellow Anzat, Velira arranged a meeting hoping to help another of her kind find an ethical source of soup. Instead, she discovered Dusa was simply an enthusiast of the non life draining variety of soup. Amused, Velira joined her for a meal at her favorite restaurant, where she grew fond of Dusa's cheerful and quirky personality in contrast to her own stoic disposition. Though Velira did not reveal herself to be an Anzat, she did show Dusa some of her personal sketchbook, and the pair became unlikely friends.

== Physical Description ==
[[File:VeliraSilkOutfit.jpg|left|thumb|546x546px|Velira's Physique ]]Despite her age, Velira physically appears only to be in her twenties. Her skin is smooth and porcelain-pale with a faint silvery undertone, flawless and almost luminous under light. Her heart shaped face is strikingly symmetrical, with high cheekbones and a narrow jawline that gives her a regal appearance. Thick, dark hair falls in loose curls, cascading over her shoulders with subtle maroon and violet undertones.

Her slightly upturned eyes are round to give her face a gentler appearance, despite the striking blood-red irises. They are framed by long, dark lashes and delicately arched brows, surrounded by shadows. Her lips are full and naturally dark, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

Her elegant figure is petite with soft, feminine curves, including a larger bust line. She has long, talon-like nails that come to naturally sharp points and are typically painted dark red in color.

Unlike others of her species, her nose remains symmetrical alongside the rest of her features, with a smooth bridge due to her intermixed heritage. Two slender facial tendrils—her Anzati proboscises— remain carefully hidden within her cheeks, invisible until she chooses to strike. When revealed, they are thin and semi-translucent compared to her already pale skin, giving them a silky, web-like appearance.
== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

From an early age, Velira displayed an acute sensitivity to the Force, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

Unknown to Velira at the time, there was a ruse for power among the other members of her family, hungry to take it for themselves. Her Mother had always kept a careful balance on their planet with distributing the prey as the sole ruler at the time, ensuring that no Anzat ever went without food. This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands. [[File:Nurse Velira 1.png|thumb|444x444px|Velira in her medic uniform ]]Following the death of her mother, Velira could no longer stand to be anywhere near her family, as her hatred grew along with the feeling of being trapped. She found her family’s way of life hollow and grotesque— predation stripped of its challenge, turned into indulgence without purpose. While the Morvanes feasted behind silk curtains and polished marble, Velira longed for the freedom of choosing her own path and living by her own strength. Finally, Velira forged a deal with her father— She could gain access to her share of the family wealth, and have 200 years of freedom, in exchange for then returning to the throne to serve her family as soon as that time runs out.
=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another... Or at least, what Velira perceived as love in the earlier stages of her life. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

There, in the darkness and silence of her entombment, she adapted. Unable to feed at will, she turned inward, using the Force to suppress her hunger, and extend the time she could go without sustenance for days at a time. These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.[[File:Untitled Artwork (3).PNG|thumb|476x476px|Velira's armor|left]]

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership. Rather than fleeing, Velira turned her focus to vengeance once more—this time against the entire coven.

Over the span of years, she methodically and covertly eliminated its members, each death disguised as misfortune, accident, or the work of rival clans. By the time her campaign of quiet destruction was complete, the coven had been reduced to scattered survivors. Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|301x301px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to Clan Odan-Urr, a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. Mihoshi Keibatsu, the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting at ''The Sinning Den to'' align her interests with those of the notorious Morgan Sorenn. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as a Doctor among them.

==== The Seventeenth Great Jedi War, Animus ====
As tensions with the [[The Collective|Collective]] escalated, Velira was called into service by her clan. Seeking to avoid pursuit from her Anzati family who wished to reclaim her and force her into service for their people, she answered Clan Odan Urr's call, and once again concealed herself among the clan’s medics and Jedi. Despite her efforts to remain inconspicuous, Velira rose to prominence throughout the conflict. Through her ties to the Shroud Syndicate, she traveled to a remote world alongside Vigo Zakirov to eliminate a Collective spy, later assisted in developing several battle plans, and participated in the infiltration of Rath Oligard’s estate, where she killed a high ranking duchess with deep ties to the Collective. Her final mission of the war took her into the Technodome alongside Vigo once again. There, she hunted down and killed [[The Collective: Technocratic Guild|Kendra Icasta,]] leader of the [[The Collective: Technocratic Guild|Technocratic Guild]], by draining her of her life essence. In recognition of her service and accomplishments, Velira was named First Heroine of the Seventeenth Great Jedi War.

== Feeding Practices ==
While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified. Instead, Velira prefers to use the Anzati phrases of ''life'' ''essence or sea of memory.'' In comparison to others of her kind, Velira deems herself as taking a more "humane" approach when it comes to feeding. A few of these beliefs she chose to adopt after she became a medic.

== History ==
The ''Gravewalker'' began its life during the High Republic Era as a Spider Cruiser constructed for a small band of Nihil Marauders. Built in the likeness of a spider, the vessel was designed to serve as both an armed ship and a mobile hunting platform. The original crew had developed a particular reputation for hunting the species known as Anzati. Following several encounters with the species, the marauders modified the cruiser specifically for that purpose, reinforcing its internal security systems and fitting portions of the vessel with restraints, sensor equipment, and a containment space intended for making captures. The ship became closely associated with the group’s hunts, and was used to pursue suspected Anzati across several remote systems.

[[Velira Morvane]] came into their sights while she was still young by Anzati standards and had not yet learned to exert consistent control over her hunger. A series of deaths near a remote settlement drew the marauders into the region, and the evidence left behind convinced them that an Anzat was responsible. They began tracking Velira, with the intention of capturing her.

After weeks of careful, the Anzati female later planned her own attack on the vessel while evading the marauders. Velira infiltrated the Spider Cruiser rather than confronting it outright, by disguising herself as one of the crewmates and quietly embedding herself among them. Over the course of several months, she learned the vessel’s routines, passages, and security systems while gradually thinning it's crew. The marauders began to disappear one at a time... Some during planetary excursions, others while isolated in the ship's cargo area.

Velira took possession of the Spider Cruiser immediately afterward, using it's own navigation records and access codes to remove it from Nihil controlled space. She later renamed the vessel the ''Gravewalker,'' in memory of the crew she had methodically hunted, for the lives of the Anzati that the ship had claimed in the years prior, and for what was meant to symbolize both the ship’s affiliation with death and her own emergence as the only one left to walk within it.

Over the centuries that followed, the ship was modified to suit Velira’s needs. Engines, armor, weapons, sensors, and internal compartments were replaced or modified as technology advanced. The most extensive modernization came with the installation of an advanced droid brain and advanced slave circuit, allowing the ''Gravewalker'' to coordinate many routine functions without an actual crew. Beneath centuries of modifications, portions of the original arachnid frame still endured— the same vessel once built to hunt Anzati, claimed by one of its intended victims, and carried forward as a personal vessel.

== Physical Description ==
[[File:VeliraSilkOutfit.jpg|left|thumb|546x546px|Velira's Physique ]]Despite her age, Velira physically appears only to be in her twenties. Her skin is smooth and porcelain-pale with a faint silvery undertone, flawless and almost luminous under light. Her heart shaped face is strikingly symmetrical, with high cheekbones and a narrow jawline that gives her a regal appearance. Thick, dark hair falls in loose curls, cascading over her shoulders with subtle maroon and violet undertones.

Her slightly upturned eyes are round to give her face a gentler appearance, despite the striking blood-red irises. They are framed by long, dark lashes and delicately arched brows, surrounded by shadows. Her lips are full and naturally dark, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

Her elegant figure is petite with soft, feminine curves, including a larger bust line. She has long, talon-like nails that come to naturally sharp points and are typically painted dark red in color.

Unlike others of her species, her nose remains symmetrical alongside the rest of her features, with a smooth bridge due to her intermixed heritage. Two slender facial tendrils—her Anzati proboscises— remain carefully hidden within her cheeks, invisible until she chooses to strike. When revealed, they are thin and semi-translucent compared to her already pale skin, giving them a silky, web-like appearance.
== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

From an early age, Velira displayed an acute sensitivity to the Force, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

Unknown to Velira at the time, there was a ruse for power among the other members of her family, hungry to take it for themselves. Her Mother had always kept a careful balance on their planet with distributing the prey as the sole ruler at the time, ensuring that no Anzat ever went without food. This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands. [[File:Nurse Velira 1.png|thumb|444x444px|Velira in her medic uniform ]]Following the death of her mother, Velira could no longer stand to be anywhere near her family, as her hatred grew along with the feeling of being trapped. She found her family’s way of life hollow and grotesque— predation stripped of its challenge, turned into indulgence without purpose. While the Morvanes feasted behind silk curtains and polished marble, Velira longed for the freedom of choosing her own path and living by her own strength. Finally, Velira forged a deal with her father— She could gain access to her share of the family wealth, and have 200 years of freedom, in exchange for then returning to the throne to serve her family as soon as that time runs out.
=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another... Or at least, what Velira perceived as love in the earlier stages of her life. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

There, in the darkness and silence of her entombment, she adapted. Unable to feed at will, she turned inward, using the Force to suppress her hunger, and extend the time she could go without sustenance for days at a time. These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.[[File:Untitled Artwork (3).PNG|thumb|476x476px|Velira's armor|left]]

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership. Rather than fleeing, Velira turned her focus to vengeance once more—this time against the entire coven.

Over the span of years, she methodically and covertly eliminated its members, each death disguised as misfortune, accident, or the work of rival clans. By the time her campaign of quiet destruction was complete, the coven had been reduced to scattered survivors. Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|301x301px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to Clan Odan-Urr, a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. Mihoshi Keibatsu, the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting at ''The Sinning Den to'' align her interests with those of the notorious Morgan Sorenn. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as a Doctor among them.

==== The Seventeenth Great Jedi War, Animus ====
As tensions with the [[The Collective|Collective]] escalated, Velira was called into service by her clan. Seeking to avoid pursuit from her Anzati family who wished to reclaim her and force her into service for their people, she answered Clan Odan Urr's call, and once again concealed herself among the clan’s medics and Jedi. Despite her efforts to remain inconspicuous, Velira rose to prominence throughout the conflict. Through her ties to the Shroud Syndicate, she traveled to a remote world alongside Vigo Zakirov to eliminate a Collective spy, later assisted in developing several battle plans, and participated in the infiltration of Rath Oligard’s estate, where she killed a high ranking duchess with deep ties to the Collective. Her final mission of the war took her into the Technodome alongside Vigo once again. There, she hunted down and killed [[The Collective: Technocratic Guild|Kendra Icasta,]] leader of the [[The Collective: Technocratic Guild|Technocratic Guild]], by draining her of her life essence. In recognition of her service and accomplishments, Velira was named First Heroine of the Seventeenth Great Jedi War.

== Feeding Practices ==
While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified. Instead, Velira prefers to use the Anzati phrases of ''life'' ''essence or sea of memory.'' In comparison to others of her kind, Velira deems herself as taking a more "humane" approach when it comes to feeding. A few of these beliefs she chose to adopt after she became a medic.

==== Guiding Principles ====
There is one moral centered around feeding that Velira has vowed to herself to never break, for however many hundreds of years that she is alive for. She has vowed to herself to never feed upon the life essence from younglings, and would rather choose death over doing so. She views the minds of younglings as something precious and innocent, meant to be protected. As an Anzat, Velira has never fed on a youngling, but has hunted down other members of her species if she uncovered that they were found guilty of such a crime.

==== Quality Over Quantity ====
Due to years of exercising self control, while Velira is still prone to the traditional soup cravings as an Anzat, she is typically able to cope with those sensations without the need to impulsively feed. This allows her to be much more selective when it comes to her prey, as needed. Velira will typically opt to go after those with what she deems as stronger minds, if she is able to. Additionally, she feels that they have more of a fair chance of defending themselves, and so it reduces her guilt in doing so. The added benefit feeding on those with stronger minds or those who are stronger in the Force, is that the one meal can sustain Velira for much longer, as opposed to the equivalent of having quick snacks. If she is severely limited in her options, only then will she not act on this particular belief.

==== Acts of Mercy ====
Velira will not readily kill those that she feeds from, unless she uncovers that they are criminals, or under specific circumstances. Those specific circumstances sometimes arise from her patients that she oversees as a medic. If they are deemed beyond saving, or ask to be finally relieved of their suffering, only then will Velira feed from them until they pass away. She goes extra lengths to ensure that the procedure is quick and as painless as possible, certainly more painless than what is they may already have been experiencing.

==== Feeding Responsibly ====
In most circumstances, Velira go the extra length to aide her "meal" through the experience to the best of her abilities. Her proboscises are silky and precise in nature. Her knowledge as a medic and in different body systems allow her to mark specific areas of the brain to feed from, to limit the amount of harm caused. Additionally, she will typically only feed with one proboscis, while the other one is readily administering bacta fluid to the brain to help with replenishment and promote healing. She will do her best to take only what she needs, and not feed in excess. Even more so, if deemed necessary, Velira may oftentimes use the Force to alter the memories of those who she feeds on in a way so that they have no recollection of the experience, and can move forwards with their lives.

== Relationships ==
[[File:11-Morgan-Sorenn.png|left|frameless|113x113px|Morgan ]]

=== Morgan B. Sorenn ===
Velira Morvane’s connection to [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] began with intent, hunger, and a calculated plan. Drawn initially by the intensity of Morgan’s life essence, what started as a calculated alignment of interests slowly became something else. Morgan proved to be one of the first, if not the only, people to truly accept Velira for what she is. In turn, Velira came to embrace Morgan fully: her chaos, her trauma, and the freedom that she embodies. Over time, the hunger that once defined Velira’s interest faded, replaced by genuine care. For each difference between them, something unexpected took shape— a sense of balance neither of them was meant to find. For each contrast, they came to understand one another in ways few others could, and their connection deepened.
[[File:Vigo WIKIfied.png|left|frameless|115x115px]]

=== Vigo Zakirov ===
Velira first met [[Vigo Zakirov|Vigo]] through the Shroud Syndicate during the Seventeenth Great Jedi War, when the pair were stationed on a remote world and tasked with hunting vornskyr and uncovering a Collective spy. Their pale features, dark hair, and similar appearances often led others to mistake them for relatives. Although Vigo proved more than capable, Velira became increasingly protective of him. They later fought together within the Technodome, where they killed Kendra Icasta in a battle that cost Vigo an eye and ended with Velira consuming Icasta’s life essence. Since then, Velira has regarded him with an almost maternal affection.
[[File:Sirra combat attire.jpg|border|left|frameless|139x139px|Sirra]]

=== Sirra Werd'la ===
Velira first met [[Sirra Werd'la|Sirra]] within her stay in Clan Odan Urr, where the two worked together to investigate the whereabouts of Sirra's brother, Celevon. Though Sirra was mistrusting of Velira, the two's abilities complimented one another for the sake of investigating and reaching a successful conclusion. Eventually, Sirra and Velira by chance worked together yet again, on a second mission aiding to capture several targets. Velira regards Sirra with a sense of respect, specifically when it comes to her ability to control creatures.
[[File:Miho Headshot(1).jpg|left|frameless|163x163px|Miho]]

=== Mihoshi Keibatsu ===
After spending four years within Clan Odan Urr concealing her true nature as an Anzat, it was finally uncovered by [[Mihoshi Keibatsu]]. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a place to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator, while outwardly continuing to work as a medic to conceal this. Shortly after Miho's ascension to Consul, Velira carried out an undercover mission to obtain a strain of the rakghoul virus after a recent outbreak in Kaal City for her, something known only to the two of them. Velira regards Miho as one of the rare few who knows and accepts what she truly is.
[[File:Dusa-Headshot.png|left|frameless|114x114px]]

=== Dusa Harik ===
Velira met [[Dusa Harik|Dusa]] through a concealed criminal database, communicating anonymously via datapad. Mistaking Dusa's pale features for those of a fellow Anzat, Velira arranged a meeting hoping to help another of her kind find an ethical source of soup. Instead, she discovered Dusa was simply an enthusiast of the non life draining variety of soup. Amused, Velira joined her for a meal at her favorite restaurant, where she grew fond of Dusa's cheerful and quirky personality in contrast to her own stoic disposition. Though Velira did not reveal herself to be an Anzat, she did show Dusa some of her personal sketchbook, and the pair became unlikely friends.

== Trivia ==

* Velira's likeness is based on actress [https://i.makeagif.com/media/8-03-2015/PZa-Gs.gif Katie McGrath].
* She has the equivalent of a British accent, layered with a Romanian one. In actuality, one is from her home world of Anzat, combined with that of a Core World accent that she later picked up during her extended time spent there.
* The likeness of Velira's voice is based on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms1D7xvuF28 Jessica Brown Findlay]
* Velira’s droid, named Spyder, is loosely inspired by Thing from the Addams Family
* Velira learned how to play a B’omarr pipe organ, by feeding on the soup of the B’omarr monks of Tatooine, who were known for leaving their brains in jars once reaching enlightenment. How could she say no to free food?
* Velira is fond of making various anatomical sketches in her free time, that go along with her medical studies.

== History ==
The ''Gravewalker'' began its life during the High Republic Era as a Spider Cruiser constructed for a small band of Nihil Marauders. Built in the likeness of a spider, the vessel was designed to serve as both an armed ship and a mobile hunting platform. The original crew had developed a particular reputation for hunting the species known as Anzati. Following several encounters with the species, the marauders modified the cruiser specifically for that purpose, reinforcing its internal security systems and fitting portions of the vessel with restraints, sensor equipment, and a containment space intended for making captures. The ship became closely associated with the group’s hunts, and was used to pursue suspected Anzati across several remote systems.

Velira Morvane came into their sights while she was still young by Anzati standards and had not yet learned to exert consistent control over her hunger. A series of deaths near a remote settlement drew the marauders into the region, and the evidence left behind convinced them that an Anzat was responsible. They began tracking Velira, with the intention of capturing her.

After weeks of careful, the Anzati female later planned her own attack on the vessel while evading the marauders. Velira infiltrated the Spider Cruiser rather than confronting it outright, by disguising herself as one of the crewmates and quietly embedding herself among them. Over the course of several months, she learned the vessel’s routines, passages, and security systems while gradually thinning it's crew. The marauders began to disappear one at a time... Some during planetary excursions, others while isolated in the ship's cargo area.

Velira took possession of the Spider Cruiser immediately afterward, using it's own navigation records and access codes to remove it from Nihil controlled space. She later renamed the vessel the ''Gravewalker,'' in memory of the crew she had methodically hunted, for the lives of the Anzati that the ship had claimed in the years prior, and for what was meant to symbolize both the ship’s affiliation with death and her own emergence as the only one left to walk within it.

Over the centuries that followed, the ship was modified to suit Velira’s needs. Engines, armor, weapons, sensors, and internal compartments were replaced or modified as technology advanced. The most extensive modernization came with the installation of an advanced droid brain and advanced slave circuit, allowing the ''Gravewalker'' to coordinate many routine functions without an actual crew. Beneath centuries of modifications, portions of the original arachnid frame still endured— the same vessel once built to hunt Anzati, claimed by one of its intended victims, and carried forward as a personal vessel.

== Physical Description ==
[[File:VeliraSilkOutfit.jpg|left|thumb|546x546px|Velira's Physique ]]Despite her age, Velira physically appears only to be in her twenties. Her skin is smooth and porcelain-pale with a faint silvery undertone, flawless and almost luminous under light. Her heart shaped face is strikingly symmetrical, with high cheekbones and a narrow jawline that gives her a regal appearance. Thick, dark hair falls in loose curls, cascading over her shoulders with subtle maroon and violet undertones.

Her slightly upturned eyes are round to give her face a gentler appearance, despite the striking blood-red irises. They are framed by long, dark lashes and delicately arched brows, surrounded by shadows. Her lips are full and naturally dark, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

Her elegant figure is petite with soft, feminine curves, including a larger bust line. She has long, talon-like nails that come to naturally sharp points and are typically painted dark red in color.

Unlike others of her species, her nose remains symmetrical alongside the rest of her features, with a smooth bridge due to her intermixed heritage. Two slender facial tendrils—her Anzati proboscises— remain carefully hidden within her cheeks, invisible until she chooses to strike. When revealed, they are thin and semi-translucent compared to her already pale skin, giving them a silky, web-like appearance.
== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

From an early age, Velira displayed an acute sensitivity to the Force, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

Unknown to Velira at the time, there was a ruse for power among the other members of her family, hungry to take it for themselves. Her Mother had always kept a careful balance on their planet with distributing the prey as the sole ruler at the time, ensuring that no Anzat ever went without food. This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands. [[File:Nurse Velira 1.png|thumb|444x444px|Velira in her medic uniform ]]Following the death of her mother, Velira could no longer stand to be anywhere near her family, as her hatred grew along with the feeling of being trapped. She found her family’s way of life hollow and grotesque— predation stripped of its challenge, turned into indulgence without purpose. While the Morvanes feasted behind silk curtains and polished marble, Velira longed for the freedom of choosing her own path and living by her own strength. Finally, Velira forged a deal with her father— She could gain access to her share of the family wealth, and have 200 years of freedom, in exchange for then returning to the throne to serve her family as soon as that time runs out.
=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another... Or at least, what Velira perceived as love in the earlier stages of her life. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

There, in the darkness and silence of her entombment, she adapted. Unable to feed at will, she turned inward, using the Force to suppress her hunger, and extend the time she could go without sustenance for days at a time. These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.[[File:Untitled Artwork (3).PNG|thumb|476x476px|Velira's armor|left]]

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership. Rather than fleeing, Velira turned her focus to vengeance once more—this time against the entire coven.

Over the span of years, she methodically and covertly eliminated its members, each death disguised as misfortune, accident, or the work of rival clans. By the time her campaign of quiet destruction was complete, the coven had been reduced to scattered survivors. Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|301x301px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to Clan Odan-Urr, a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. Mihoshi Keibatsu, the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting at ''The Sinning Den to'' align her interests with those of the notorious Morgan Sorenn. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as a Doctor among them.

==== The Seventeenth Great Jedi War, Animus ====
As tensions with the [[The Collective|Collective]] escalated, Velira was called into service by her clan. Seeking to avoid pursuit from her Anzati family who wished to reclaim her and force her into service for their people, she answered Clan Odan Urr's call, and once again concealed herself among the clan’s medics and Jedi. Despite her efforts to remain inconspicuous, Velira rose to prominence throughout the conflict. Through her ties to the Shroud Syndicate, she traveled to a remote world alongside Vigo Zakirov to eliminate a Collective spy, later assisted in developing several battle plans, and participated in the infiltration of Rath Oligard’s estate, where she killed a high ranking duchess with deep ties to the Collective. Her final mission of the war took her into the Technodome alongside Vigo once again. There, she hunted down and killed [[The Collective: Technocratic Guild|Kendra Icasta,]] leader of the [[The Collective: Technocratic Guild|Technocratic Guild]], by draining her of her life essence. In recognition of her service and accomplishments, Velira was named First Heroine of the Seventeenth Great Jedi War.

== Feeding Practices ==
While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified. Instead, Velira prefers to use the Anzati phrases of ''life'' ''essence or sea of memory.'' In comparison to others of her kind, Velira deems herself as taking a more "humane" approach when it comes to feeding. A few of these beliefs she chose to adopt after she became a medic.

==== Guiding Principles ====
There is one moral centered around feeding that Velira has vowed to herself to never break, for however many hundreds of years that she is alive for. She has vowed to herself to never feed upon the life essence from younglings, and would rather choose death over doing so. She views the minds of younglings as something precious and innocent, meant to be protected. As an Anzat, Velira has never fed on a youngling, but has hunted down other members of her species if she uncovered that they were found guilty of such a crime.

==== Quality Over Quantity ====
Due to years of exercising self control, while Velira is still prone to the traditional soup cravings as an Anzat, she is typically able to cope with those sensations without the need to impulsively feed. This allows her to be much more selective when it comes to her prey, as needed. Velira will typically opt to go after those with what she deems as stronger minds, if she is able to. Additionally, she feels that they have more of a fair chance of defending themselves, and so it reduces her guilt in doing so. The added benefit feeding on those with stronger minds or those who are stronger in the Force, is that the one meal can sustain Velira for much longer, as opposed to the equivalent of having quick snacks. If she is severely limited in her options, only then will she not act on this particular belief.

==== Acts of Mercy ====
Velira will not readily kill those that she feeds from, unless she uncovers that they are criminals, or under specific circumstances. Those specific circumstances sometimes arise from her patients that she oversees as a medic. If they are deemed beyond saving, or ask to be finally relieved of their suffering, only then will Velira feed from them until they pass away. She goes extra lengths to ensure that the procedure is quick and as painless as possible, certainly more painless than what is they may already have been experiencing.

==== Feeding Responsibly ====
In most circumstances, Velira go the extra length to aide her "meal" through the experience to the best of her abilities. Her proboscises are silky and precise in nature. Her knowledge as a medic and in different body systems allow her to mark specific areas of the brain to feed from, to limit the amount of harm caused. Additionally, she will typically only feed with one proboscis, while the other one is readily administering bacta fluid to the brain to help with replenishment and promote healing. She will do her best to take only what she needs, and not feed in excess. Even more so, if deemed necessary, Velira may oftentimes use the Force to alter the memories of those who she feeds on in a way so that they have no recollection of the experience, and can move forwards with their lives.

== Relationships ==
[[File:11-Morgan-Sorenn.png|left|frameless|113x113px|Morgan ]]

=== Morgan B. Sorenn ===
Velira Morvane’s connection to [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] began with intent, hunger, and a calculated plan. Drawn initially by the intensity of Morgan’s life essence, what started as a calculated alignment of interests slowly became something else. Morgan proved to be one of the first, if not the only, people to truly accept Velira for what she is. In turn, Velira came to embrace Morgan fully: her chaos, her trauma, and the freedom that she embodies. Over time, the hunger that once defined Velira’s interest faded, replaced by genuine care. For each difference between them, something unexpected took shape— a sense of balance neither of them was meant to find. For each contrast, they came to understand one another in ways few others could, and their connection deepened.

=== Vigo Zakirov ===
Velira first met [[Vigo Zakirov|Vigo]] through the Shroud Syndicate during the Seventeenth Great Jedi War, when the pair were stationed on a remote world and tasked with hunting vornskyr and uncovering a Collective spy. Their pale features, dark hair, and similar appearances often led others to mistake them for relatives. Although Vigo proved more than capable, Velira became increasingly protective of him. They later fought together within the Technodome, where they killed Kendra Icasta in a battle that cost Vigo an eye and ended with Velira consuming Icasta’s life essence. Since then, Velira has regarded him with an almost maternal affection.

=== Sirra Werd'la ===
Velira first met [[Sirra Werd'la|Sirra]] within her stay in Clan Odan Urr, where the two worked together to investigate the whereabouts of Sirra's brother, Celevon. Though Sirra was mistrusting of Velira, the two's abilities complimented one another for the sake of investigating and reaching a successful conclusion. Eventually, Sirra and Velira by chance worked together yet again, on a second mission aiding to capture several targets. Velira regards Sirra with a sense of respect, specifically when it comes to her ability to control creatures.

=== Mihoshi Keibatsu ===
After spending four years within Clan Odan Urr concealing her true nature as an Anzat, it was finally uncovered by [[Mihoshi Keibatsu]]. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a place to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator, while outwardly continuing to work as a medic to conceal this. Shortly after Miho's ascension to Consul, Velira carried out an undercover mission to obtain a strain of the rakghoul virus after a recent outbreak in Kaal City for her, something known only to the two of them. Velira regards Miho as one of the rare few who knows and accepts what she truly is.

=== Dusa Harik ===
Velira met [[Dusa Harik|Dusa]] through a concealed criminal database, communicating anonymously via datapad. Mistaking Dusa's pale features for those of a fellow Anzat, Velira arranged a meeting hoping to help another of her kind find an ethical source of soup. Instead, she discovered Dusa was simply an enthusiast of the non life draining variety of soup. Amused, Velira joined her for a meal at her favorite restaurant, where she grew fond of Dusa's cheerful and quirky personality in contrast to her own stoic disposition. Though Velira did not reveal herself to be an Anzat, she did show Dusa some of her personal sketchbook, and the pair became unlikely friends.

== Physical Description ==
[[File:VeliraSilkOutfit.jpg|left|thumb|546x546px|Velira's Physique ]]Despite her age, Velira physically appears only to be in her twenties. Her skin is smooth and porcelain-pale with a faint silvery undertone, flawless and almost luminous under light. Her heart shaped face is strikingly symmetrical, with high cheekbones and a narrow jawline that gives her a regal appearance. Thick, dark hair falls in loose curls, cascading over her shoulders with subtle maroon and violet undertones.

Her slightly upturned eyes are round to give her face a gentler appearance, despite the striking blood-red irises. They are framed by long, dark lashes and delicately arched brows, surrounded by shadows. Her lips are full and naturally dark, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

Her elegant figure is petite with soft, feminine curves, including a larger bust line. She has long, talon-like nails that come to naturally sharp points and are typically painted dark red in color.

Unlike others of her species, her nose remains symmetrical alongside the rest of her features, with a smooth bridge due to her intermixed heritage. Two slender facial tendrils—her Anzati proboscises— remain carefully hidden within her cheeks, invisible until she chooses to strike. When revealed, they are thin and semi-translucent compared to her already pale skin, giving them a silky, web-like appearance.
== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

From an early age, Velira displayed an acute sensitivity to the Force, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

Unknown to Velira at the time, there was a ruse for power among the other members of her family, hungry to take it for themselves. Her Mother had always kept a careful balance on their planet with distributing the prey as the sole ruler at the time, ensuring that no Anzat ever went without food. This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands. [[File:Nurse Velira 1.png|thumb|444x444px|Velira in her medic uniform ]]Following the death of her mother, Velira could no longer stand to be anywhere near her family, as her hatred grew along with the feeling of being trapped. She found her family’s way of life hollow and grotesque— predation stripped of its challenge, turned into indulgence without purpose. While the Morvanes feasted behind silk curtains and polished marble, Velira longed for the freedom of choosing her own path and living by her own strength. Finally, Velira forged a deal with her father— She could gain access to her share of the family wealth, and have 200 years of freedom, in exchange for then returning to the throne to serve her family as soon as that time runs out.
=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another... Or at least, what Velira perceived as love in the earlier stages of her life. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

There, in the darkness and silence of her entombment, she adapted. Unable to feed at will, she turned inward, using the Force to suppress her hunger, and extend the time she could go without sustenance for days at a time. These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.[[File:Untitled Artwork (3).PNG|thumb|476x476px|Velira's armor|left]]

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership. Rather than fleeing, Velira turned her focus to vengeance once more—this time against the entire coven.

Over the span of years, she methodically and covertly eliminated its members, each death disguised as misfortune, accident, or the work of rival clans. By the time her campaign of quiet destruction was complete, the coven had been reduced to scattered survivors. Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|301x301px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to Clan Odan-Urr, a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. Mihoshi Keibatsu, the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting at ''The Sinning Den to'' align her interests with those of the notorious Morgan Sorenn. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as a Doctor among them.

==== The Seventeenth Great Jedi War, Animus ====
As tensions with the [[The Collective|Collective]] escalated, Velira was called into service by her clan. Seeking to avoid pursuit from her Anzati family who wished to reclaim her and force her into service for their people, she answered Clan Odan Urr's call, and once again concealed herself among the clan’s medics and Jedi. Despite her efforts to remain inconspicuous, Velira rose to prominence throughout the conflict. Through her ties to the Shroud Syndicate, she traveled to a remote world alongside Vigo Zakirov to eliminate a Collective spy, later assisted in developing several battle plans, and participated in the infiltration of Rath Oligard’s estate, where she killed a high ranking duchess with deep ties to the Collective. Her final mission of the war took her into the Technodome alongside Vigo once again. There, she hunted down and killed [[The Collective: Technocratic Guild|Kendra Icasta,]] leader of the [[The Collective: Technocratic Guild|Technocratic Guild]], by draining her of her life essence. In recognition of her service and accomplishments, Velira was named First Heroine of the Seventeenth Great Jedi War.

== Feeding Practices ==
While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified. Instead, Velira prefers to use the Anzati phrases of ''life'' ''essence or sea of memory.'' In comparison to others of her kind, Velira deems herself as taking a more "humane" approach when it comes to feeding. A few of these beliefs she chose to adopt after she became a medic.

==== Guiding Principles ====
There is one moral centered around feeding that Velira has vowed to herself to never break, for however many hundreds of years that she is alive for. She has vowed to herself to never feed upon the life essence from younglings, and would rather choose death over doing so. She views the minds of younglings as something precious and innocent, meant to be protected. As an Anzat, Velira has never fed on a youngling, but has hunted down other members of her species if she uncovered that they were found guilty of such a crime.

==== Quality Over Quantity ====
Due to years of exercising self control, while Velira is still prone to the traditional soup cravings as an Anzat, she is typically able to cope with those sensations without the need to impulsively feed. This allows her to be much more selective when it comes to her prey, as needed. Velira will typically opt to go after those with what she deems as stronger minds, if she is able to. Additionally, she feels that they have more of a fair chance of defending themselves, and so it reduces her guilt in doing so. The added benefit feeding on those with stronger minds or those who are stronger in the Force, is that the one meal can sustain Velira for much longer, as opposed to the equivalent of having quick snacks. If she is severely limited in her options, only then will she not act on this particular belief.

==== Acts of Mercy ====
Velira will not readily kill those that she feeds from, unless she uncovers that they are criminals, or under specific circumstances. Those specific circumstances sometimes arise from her patients that she oversees as a medic. If they are deemed beyond saving, or ask to be finally relieved of their suffering, only then will Velira feed from them until they pass away. She goes extra lengths to ensure that the procedure is quick and as painless as possible, certainly more painless than what is they may already have been experiencing.

==== Feeding Responsibly ====
In most circumstances, Velira go the extra length to aide her "meal" through the experience to the best of her abilities. Her proboscises are silky and precise in nature. Her knowledge as a medic and in different body systems allow her to mark specific areas of the brain to feed from, to limit the amount of harm caused. Additionally, she will typically only feed with one proboscis, while the other one is readily administering bacta fluid to the brain to help with replenishment and promote healing. She will do her best to take only what she needs, and not feed in excess. Even more so, if deemed necessary, Velira may oftentimes use the Force to alter the memories of those who she feeds on in a way so that they have no recollection of the experience, and can move forwards with their lives.

== Relationships ==
[[File:11-Morgan-Sorenn.png|left|frameless|113x113px|Morgan ]]

=== Morgan B. Sorenn ===
Velira Morvane’s connection to [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] began with intent, hunger, and a calculated plan. Drawn initially by the intensity of Morgan’s life essence, what started as a calculated alignment of interests slowly became something else. Morgan proved to be one of the first, if not the only, people to truly accept Velira for what she is. In turn, Velira came to embrace Morgan fully: her chaos, her trauma, and the freedom that she embodies. Over time, the hunger that once defined Velira’s interest faded, replaced by genuine care. For each difference between them, something unexpected took shape— a sense of balance neither of them was meant to find. For each contrast, they came to understand one another in ways few others could, and their connection deepened.

== Physical Description ==

Syrena has a rather striking appearance, due to the vibrancy of her gaze and the glow of her pale hair in the fluorescence of light. She has a diamond-shaped face with high cheekbones and full lips that are peach-toned, though her eyes are her most prominent feature. Slightly upturned, they are framed by thick black lashes. Her light-colored eyes almost seem to glow, with irises that are light silver with hints of lavender.

Her silky hair falls in a cascade of soft waves to her waist. She will typically either wear her hair down, or in an ornate braid. Similar to Syrena's eyes, her hair also seems to glow when underneath the light. This is due to the color, which is that of a soft pink, with vibrant icy white highlights.

Her smooth skin is rose-hued in color, though holds cooler silvery undertones and is slightly darker than her hair, creating a contrast that adds to the overall striking quality to her appearance. Despite her rough past, she has very little scars compared to others who have met the same fate. Her only remaining scars caused by chains, are ringed faintly around her wrists, which she frequently does her best to conceal the best she can... Any other distinguishing marks from her rough history, Syrena has seemingly gone to great lengths to remove.

Her build is slim and in overall form, though is accentuated by feminine curves and an hourglass shaped figure. Having also spent several years as a dancer, her elegant legs and stomach are lightly toned to reflect this.[[File:Syrena Battle Armor 1.jpg|thumb|Syrena's Battle Armor|left|376x376px]]
=== Attire ===
Syrena prefers a sense of luxury and elegance when it comes to her attire, and isn't afraid to opt for anything that's eye-catching. When it comes to combat, she prefers formfitting armor that allows for flexibility, that is typically white in color with silver-chrome accents. To match, Syrena also wears a white hooded cloak with the design elements of two binary stars, which shimmer with the embellishments of smaller crystals surrounding them.

Even when it comes to lounge-wear, Syrena prefers to wear fine silk dresses with matching evening gloves. She enjoys clothing with a sense of movement and fluidity, or clothing that contains shimmer, as she feels it helps to better showcase her movements when it comes to her hobby of dancing.

== '''Character History''' ==

=== Early Life ===

Her only remaining memento from her Mother is a simple letter marred with rough edges simply reading, "I am sorry, but I had no other choice," along with a woven black leather bracelet. Despite being sold into slavery, Syrena's first placement as a child was a relatively fortunate one. She worked in the household of a wealthy couple, the Valkars, who lived on Coruscant’s upper levels, where her daily tasks included basic cleaning and folding laundry. Syrena developed a friendship with some of the Droids employed there as well, one of which was a Protocol Droid who aided in her early education. As the years passed, eventually the couple grew to care for her as one of their own, and Syrena found herself in a loving home– Yet this was not to be forever.

One dark evening, the Valkar family was assassinated, and Syrena found herself admitted back into the slave trade at age fifteen. As always, she was sold to the wealthiest bidder, this time another wealthy family— But one that was not so kind, and made their living dealing in weaponry. In this new placement, Syrena spent years of mistreatment being overworked on the daily.

=== Performer of the Night ===
In the few rare moments that she had the stamina and time to herself, Syrena found solace training herself in the art of dance, which would later translate into her knowledge of martial arts. Yet the moment this talent of hers was noticed, Syrena found herself sold again at the age of eighteen, this time at a much higher price to none other than nightclub owner and crime lord, Elethar Kheth.

The club was a popular one within the Uscru District of Coruscant, one where the exotic dancers were all slaves like herself. Though it wouldn’t have been her first choice in style of dance, Syrena was able to find a sense of respite in the fact that she was able to work doing something she remotely enjoyed. Due to her nature as a Zeltron, she found that she thrived in the club setting and that her attractiveness deemed her high in demand amidst the patrons. Syrena even managed to slyly pocket a few credits in secret after each performance.

=== A Shift Towards the Light ===
Despite her popularity at the club, with each passing day, the less than savory behavior from the club-goers began to wear on Syrena’s mindset, as did the overall treatment from Elethar. A deep resentfulness towards the fact that she had never known true freedom began to take over. Yet just as Syrena felt herself beginning to turn towards the darkness, she found something that would change the course of her life forever — A lightsaber, and a basic book of teachings. Whether these items were left behind on purpose, or Syrena just happened to stumble across them, that will forever remain a mystery.

For once, Syrena felt hope. And with that hope, she began to train herself in secrecy with the teachings in the book, beginning to carve out a way towards the light. One evening during what was to be her final shift and final night as a slave, Syrena witnessed another dancer at the club being mistreated.

Fueled by a strong sense of justice, she instinctively lashed out with her force-based abilities, channeling the light to shatter the chains that once bound her. Combining this with her overall knowledge in martial arts, Syrena was able to deliver a swift demise to Elethar Kheth, a necessary means to set herself and the other slaves free.

=== Path to Clan Odan-Urr ===
On what was to be her final day spent living on Coruscant, Syrena found herself being once again pursued by two of Elethar's former associates. Nearby, a cargo-hauler by the name of [[Frenek Mausma]] heard the struggle and jumped into action, using his blaster to ward off the attackers. Frenek offered safety to Syrena and cared for her for a short time, helping her heal.

Once she was fully recovered, he transported her to the planet of [[Kiast (Planet)|Kiast]], where Frenek knew she would be safe. She soon flourished during her stay in Kiast, attending various socialite events and continuing to practice her craft as a dancer amidst various celebrations, enjoying all the luxuries that her newfound freedom offered. Syrena was even able to educate herself in musical performance, where her pre-existing knowledge translated into the ability to sing and play the instrument of a seven-string hallikset.

Somewhere along the line, Syrena eventually found more information on what was known as [[Clan Odan-Urr]]. After learning more about them, she began to see another future for herself, one where she could help others. And thus, Syrena made the decision to join.

=== Apprenticeship and Introduction to House Hoth ===
Shortly after her arrival to Odan-Urr, she became a member of House Hoth. Syrena Valkar was also taken under the tutelage of Sivall Zoria, who served as her Master, and helped Syrena to expand her skills in Force healing, eloquence, and diplomacy. Syrena’s first notable moment came during the Vauzem Conflicts, where she performed on her seven‑stringed hallikset to calm the panicked Quermian populace, preventing widespread chaos and aiding in enabling safe evacuations.

Syrena went on to serve in multiple battles alongside her Clan, where she became recognized for her bold yet effective maneuvers and tenacity. Outside of combat, she helped broker a key agreement between the Wookiees and Ithorians in Kaal City, resulting in the creation of a greenhouse facility that laid the groundwork for the city’s future agricultural development.

Her contributions to Kaal City and her cooperative work with the city’s Governor at the time, Tisto Kingang, led to her appointment as a Battle Team Leader for the Knights of Allusis, marking the beginning of her leadership tenure within the Clan.

=== Knight-Commander of the Knights of Allusis ===
[[File:Syrena Knight Commander (1).jpg|thumb|Syrena sitting within her office at the Knights of Allusis base]]
After her appointment as the Knight-Commander for the Knights of Allusis, Syrena Valkar elected to align herself formally with the Jedi Order, seeking deeper understanding of their philosophy. Her studies centered on the teachings of Belth Allusis, whose legacy would serve as a personal inspiration and guiding principle during her leadership.

Syrena helped to revive the Knights of Allusis after an extended hiatus, personally leading outreach and training efforts to aide in the restoration of the Knights of Allusis. Following their successful reassembly, she established a new primary base of operations known as the ''Helm of Allusis'', a former Jedi temple based on Daleem. Syrena worked to fortify the temple into a secure underground militant facility, and was responsible for overseeing the construction process for this project.

Under her stewardship, the Knights successfully recovered several Jedi artifacts to be safeguarded within the Helm, strengthening their cultural and historical connection to Jedi heritage, and Belth Allusis himself.

Her leadership also extended to the Knight's secondary base on Solyiat, where she played a key role in reinforcing security measures and combating an invasion by pirates in cooperation with Edgar Drachen, Jon Silvon, and other Knights. Additionally, with assistance from Turel Sorenn, who led the refurbishment efforts, she helped to bring the CR90 Corvette known as the ''Pride of Owyhyee'' out of retirement and back into active service with the Knights of Allusis.

=== Governor of House Hoth ===
During her time as Governor of House Hoth, Syrena focused on expanding Kaal City<nowiki>'s growing Fashion District. Through new business partnerships and commercial investments, she helped attract trade to the city to encourage development in its surrounding districts. Her most notable achievement was establishing the ''Aurelia Circuit''</nowiki>, a prestigious fashion showcase that drew designers, merchants, and visitors from across the galaxy.

House Hoth was later faced with the challenge of rising unrest as civilians began demanding freedom from Vatali rule. During the same period, a mysterious Rakghoul plague spread through the city's outer districts, primarily affecting working class communities and many involved in the revolutionary movement. Working alongside House Hoth, Syrena helped coordinate relief efforts until the outbreak was successfully eradicated.

Following the crisis, Syrena grew weary of the bureaucracy and paperwork that came with being governor. Choosing to pursue the adventure she had originally sought within the Brotherhood, she abruptly resigned her position and departed on a galactic tour alongside a well known band.

== Personal Beliefs and Values ==

=== Virtuoso ===
A skilled performer, Syrena has spent many years honing her craft. She first started with the art of dance, preferring movements that are both balletic and acrobatic.

In more recent years, Syrena has dedicated her time to deeply studying the music of different cultures found within the galaxy, and taught herself how to play a seven-string hallikset. Syrena’s hallisket is pure white in color, and she has named the instrument ''Lightwave'' for the way its strings glow when played. She will oftentimes accompany these seven-string performances with melodic singing, to match the tone of the songs played.

=== The Force ===
When it comes to the force, Syrena mentally associates the force mentally in the same way that she thinks of music... That it can be felt in rhythms, can be woven or interpreted, that in can bring peace in the same way a calming melody can... Or utter chaos, like a rock ballad. There is a part of her, however, that seeks to achieve "enlightenment" through the Force... Which leads her to making sometimes questionable decisions, such as her certain penchant for psychedelic Fantazi mushrooms.

== Physical Description ==
[[File:VeliraSilkOutfit.jpg|left|thumb|546x546px|Velira's Physique ]]Despite her age, Velira physically appears only to be in her twenties. Her skin is smooth and porcelain-pale with a faint silvery undertone, flawless and almost luminous under light. Her heart shaped face is strikingly symmetrical, with high cheekbones and a narrow jawline that gives her a regal appearance. Thick, dark hair falls in loose curls, cascading over her shoulders with subtle maroon and violet undertones.

Her slightly upturned eyes are round to give her face a gentler appearance, despite the striking blood-red irises. They are framed by long, dark lashes and delicately arched brows, surrounded by shadows. Her lips are full and naturally dark, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

Her elegant figure is petite with soft, feminine curves, including a larger bust line. She has long, talon-like nails that come to naturally sharp points and are typically painted dark red in color.

Unlike others of her species, her nose remains symmetrical alongside the rest of her features, with a smooth bridge due to her intermixed heritage. Two slender facial tendrils—her Anzati proboscises— remain carefully hidden within her cheeks, invisible until she chooses to strike. When revealed, they are thin and semi-translucent compared to her already pale skin, giving them a silky, web-like appearance.
== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

From an early age, Velira displayed an acute sensitivity to the Force, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

Unknown to Velira at the time, there was a ruse for power among the other members of her family, hungry to take it for themselves. Her Mother had always kept a careful balance on their planet with distributing the prey as the sole ruler at the time, ensuring that no Anzat ever went without food. This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands. [[File:Nurse Velira 1.png|thumb|444x444px|Velira in her medic uniform ]]Following the death of her mother, Velira could no longer stand to be anywhere near her family, as her hatred grew along with the feeling of being trapped. She found her family’s way of life hollow and grotesque— predation stripped of its challenge, turned into indulgence without purpose. While the Morvanes feasted behind silk curtains and polished marble, Velira longed for the freedom of choosing her own path and living by her own strength. Finally, Velira forged a deal with her father— She could gain access to her share of the family wealth, and have 200 years of freedom, in exchange for then returning to the throne to serve her family as soon as that time runs out.
=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another... Or at least, what Velira perceived as love in the earlier stages of her life. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

There, in the darkness and silence of her entombment, she adapted. Unable to feed at will, she turned inward, using the Force to suppress her hunger, and extend the time she could go without sustenance for days at a time. These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.[[File:Untitled Artwork (3).PNG|thumb|476x476px|Velira's armor|left]]

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership. Rather than fleeing, Velira turned her focus to vengeance once more—this time against the entire coven.

Over the span of years, she methodically and covertly eliminated its members, each death disguised as misfortune, accident, or the work of rival clans. By the time her campaign of quiet destruction was complete, the coven had been reduced to scattered survivors. Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|301x301px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine: ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr: ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to Clan Odan-Urr, a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. Mihoshi Keibatsu, the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance: ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting at ''The Sinning Den to'' align her interests with those of the notorious Morgan Sorenn. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as a Doctor among them.

==== The Seventeenth Great Jedi War, Animus ====
As tensions with the [[The Collective|Collective]] escalated, Velira was called into service by her clan. Seeking to avoid pursuit from her Anzati family who wished to reclaim her and force her into service for their people, she answered Clan Odan Urr's call, and once again concealed herself among the clan’s medics and Jedi. Despite her efforts to remain inconspicuous, Velira rose to prominence throughout the conflict. Through her ties to the Shroud Syndicate, she traveled to a remote world alongside Vigo Zakirov to eliminate a Collective spy, later assisted in developing several battle plans, and participated in the infiltration of Rath Oligard’s estate, where she killed a high ranking duchess with deep ties to the Collective. Her final mission of the war took her into the Technodome alongside Vigo once again. There, she hunted down and killed [[The Collective: Technocratic Guild|Kendra Icasta,]] leader of the [[The Collective: Technocratic Guild|Technocratic Guild]], by draining her of her life essence. In recognition of her service and accomplishments, Velira was named First Heroine of the Seventeenth Great Jedi War.

== Feeding Practices ==
While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified. Instead, Velira prefers to use the Anzati phrases of ''life'' ''essence or sea of memory.'' In comparison to others of her kind, Velira deems herself as taking a more "humane" approach when it comes to feeding. A few of these beliefs she chose to adopt after she became a medic.

==== Guiding Principles ====
There is one moral centered around feeding that Velira has vowed to herself to never break, for however many hundreds of years that she is alive for. She has vowed to herself to never feed upon the life essence from younglings, and would rather choose death over doing so. She views the minds of younglings as something precious and innocent, meant to be protected. As an Anzat, Velira has never fed on a youngling, but has hunted down other members of her species if she uncovered that they were found guilty of such a crime.

==== Quality Over Quantity ====
Due to years of exercising self control, while Velira is still prone to the traditional soup cravings as an Anzat, she is typically able to cope with those sensations without the need to impulsively feed. This allows her to be much more selective when it comes to her prey, as needed. Velira will typically opt to go after those with what she deems as stronger minds, if she is able to. Additionally, she feels that they have more of a fair chance of defending themselves, and so it reduces her guilt in doing so. The added benefit feeding on those with stronger minds or those who are stronger in the Force, is that the one meal can sustain Velira for much longer, as opposed to the equivalent of having quick snacks. If she is severely limited in her options, only then will she not act on this particular belief.

==== Acts of Mercy ====
Velira will not readily kill those that she feeds from, unless she uncovers that they are criminals, or under specific circumstances. Those specific circumstances sometimes arise from her patients that she oversees as a medic. If they are deemed beyond saving, or ask to be finally relieved of their suffering, only then will Velira feed from them until they pass away. She goes extra lengths to ensure that the procedure is quick and as painless as possible, certainly more painless than what is they may already have been experiencing.

==== Feeding Responsibly ====
In most circumstances, Velira go the extra length to aide her "meal" through the experience to the best of her abilities. Her proboscises are silky and precise in nature. Her knowledge as a medic and in different body systems allow her to mark specific areas of the brain to feed from, to limit the amount of harm caused. Additionally, she will typically only feed with one proboscis, while the other one is readily administering bacta fluid to the brain to help with replenishment and promote healing. She will do her best to take only what she needs, and not feed in excess. Even more so, if deemed necessary, Velira may oftentimes use the Force to alter the memories of those who she feeds on in a way so that they have no recollection of the experience, and can move forwards with their lives.

== Relationships ==
[[File:11-Morgan-Sorenn.png|left|frameless|113x113px|Morgan ]]

=== Morgan B. Sorenn ===
Velira Morvane’s connection to [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] began with intent, hunger, and a calculated plan. Drawn initially by the intensity of Morgan’s life essence, what started as a calculated alignment of interests slowly became something else. Morgan proved to be one of the first, if not the only, people to truly accept Velira for what she is. In turn, Velira came to embrace Morgan fully: her chaos, her trauma, and the freedom that she embodies. Over time, the hunger that once defined Velira’s interest faded, replaced by genuine care. For each difference between them, something unexpected took shape— a sense of balance neither of them was meant to find. For each contrast, they came to understand one another in ways few others could, and their connection deepened.
[[File:Vigo WIKIfied.png|left|frameless|115x115px]]

=== Vigo Zakirov ===
Velira first met [[Vigo Zakirov|Vigo]] through the Shroud Syndicate during the Seventeenth Great Jedi War, when the pair were stationed on a remote world and tasked with hunting vornskyr and uncovering a Collective spy. Their pale features, dark hair, and similar appearances often led others to mistake them for relatives. Although Vigo proved more than capable, Velira became increasingly protective of him. They later fought together within the Technodome, where they killed Kendra Icasta in a battle that cost Vigo an eye and ended with Velira consuming Icasta’s life essence. Since then, Velira has regarded him with an almost maternal affection.
[[File:Sirra combat attire.jpg|border|left|frameless|139x139px|Sirra]]

=== Sirra Werd'la ===
Velira first met [[Sirra Werd'la|Sirra]] within her stay in Clan Odan Urr, where the two worked together to investigate the whereabouts of Sirra's brother, Celevon. Though Sirra was mistrusting of Velira, the two's abilities complimented one another for the sake of investigating and reaching a successful conclusion. Eventually, Sirra and Velira by chance worked together yet again, on a second mission aiding to capture several targets. Velira regards Sirra with a sense of respect, specifically when it comes to her ability to control creatures.
[[File:Miho Headshot(1).jpg|left|frameless|163x163px|Miho]]

=== Mihoshi Keibatsu ===
After spending four years within Clan Odan Urr concealing her true nature as an Anzat, it was finally uncovered by [[Mihoshi Keibatsu]]. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a place to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator, while outwardly continuing to work as a medic to conceal this. Shortly after Miho's ascension to Consul, Velira carried out an undercover mission to obtain a strain of the rakghoul virus after a recent outbreak in Kaal City for her, something known only to the two of them. Velira regards Miho as one of the rare few who knows and accepts what she truly is.
[[File:Dusa-Headshot.png|left|frameless|114x114px]]

=== Dusa Harik ===
Velira met [[Dusa Harik|Dusa]] through a concealed criminal database, communicating anonymously via datapad. Mistaking Dusa's pale features for those of a fellow Anzat, Velira arranged a meeting hoping to help another of her kind find an ethical source of soup. Instead, she discovered Dusa was simply an enthusiast of the non life draining variety of soup. Amused, Velira joined her for a meal at her favorite restaurant, where she grew fond of Dusa's cheerful and quirky personality in contrast to her own stoic disposition. Though Velira did not reveal herself to be an Anzat, she did show Dusa some of her personal sketchbook, and the pair became unlikely friends.

== Trivia ==

* Velira's likeness is based on actress [https://i.makeagif.com/media/8-03-2015/PZa-Gs.gif Katie McGrath].

* The likeness of Velira's voice is based on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms1D7xvuF28 Jessica Brown Findlay]
* Velira’s droid, named Spyder, is loosely inspired by Thing from the Addams Family
* Velira learned how to play a B’omarr pipe organ, by feeding on the soup of the B’omarr monks of Tatooine, who were known for leaving their brains in jars once reaching enlightenment. How could she say no to free food?

== Physical Description ==
[[File:VeliraSilkOutfit.jpg|left|thumb|546x546px|Velira's Physique ]]Despite her age, Velira physically appears only to be in her twenties. Her skin is smooth and porcelain-pale with a faint silvery undertone, flawless and almost luminous under light. Her heart shaped face is strikingly symmetrical, with high cheekbones and a narrow jawline that gives her a regal appearance. Thick, dark hair falls in loose curls, cascading over her shoulders with subtle maroon and violet undertones.

Her slightly upturned eyes are round to give her face a gentler appearance, despite the striking blood-red irises. They are framed by long, dark lashes and delicately arched brows, surrounded by shadows. Her lips are full and naturally dark, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

Her elegant figure is petite with soft, feminine curves, including a larger bust line. She has long, talon-like nails that come to naturally sharp points and are typically painted dark red in color.

Unlike others of her species, her nose remains symmetrical alongside the rest of her features, with a smooth bridge due to her intermixed heritage. Two slender facial tendrils—her Anzati proboscises— remain carefully hidden within her cheeks, invisible until she chooses to strike. When revealed, they are thin and semi-translucent compared to her already pale skin, giving them a silky, web-like appearance.
== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility:''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

From an early age, Velira displayed an acute sensitivity to the Force, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

Unknown to Velira at the time, there was a ruse for power among the other members of her family, hungry to take it for themselves. Her Mother had always kept a careful balance on their planet with distributing the prey as the sole ruler at the time, ensuring that no Anzat ever went without food. This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands. [[File:Nurse Velira 1.png|thumb|444x444px|Velira in her medic uniform ]]Following the death of her mother, Velira could no longer stand to be anywhere near her family, as her hatred grew along with the feeling of being trapped. She found her family’s way of life hollow and grotesque— predation stripped of its challenge, turned into indulgence without purpose. While the Morvanes feasted behind silk curtains and polished marble, Velira longed for the freedom of choosing her own path and living by her own strength. Finally, Velira forged a deal with her father— She could gain access to her share of the family wealth, and have 200 years of freedom, in exchange for then returning to the throne to serve her family as soon as that time runs out.
=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment: ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another... Or at least, what Velira perceived as love in the earlier stages of her life. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

There, in the darkness and silence of her entombment, she adapted. Unable to feed at will, she turned inward, using the Force to suppress her hunger, and extend the time she could go without sustenance for days at a time. These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.[[File:Untitled Artwork (3).PNG|thumb|476x476px|Velira's armor|left]]

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven: ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership. Rather than fleeing, Velira turned her focus to vengeance once more—this time against the entire coven.

Over the span of years, she methodically and covertly eliminated its members, each death disguised as misfortune, accident, or the work of rival clans. By the time her campaign of quiet destruction was complete, the coven had been reduced to scattered survivors. Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|301x301px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine: ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr: ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to Clan Odan-Urr, a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. Mihoshi Keibatsu, the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance: ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting at ''The Sinning Den to'' align her interests with those of the notorious Morgan Sorenn. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as a Doctor among them.

==== The Seventeenth Great Jedi War, Animus: ====
As tensions with the [[The Collective|Collective]] escalated, Velira was called into service by her clan. Seeking to avoid pursuit from her Anzati family who wished to reclaim her and force her into service for their people, she answered Clan Odan Urr's call, and once again concealed herself among the clan’s medics and Jedi. Despite her efforts to remain inconspicuous, Velira rose to prominence throughout the conflict. Through her ties to the Shroud Syndicate, she traveled to a remote world alongside Vigo Zakirov to eliminate a Collective spy, later assisted in developing several battle plans, and participated in the infiltration of Rath Oligard’s estate, where she killed a high ranking duchess with deep ties to the Collective. Her final mission of the war took her into the Technodome alongside Vigo once again. There, she hunted down and killed [[The Collective: Technocratic Guild|Kendra Icasta,]] leader of the [[The Collective: Technocratic Guild|Technocratic Guild]], by draining her of her life essence. In recognition of her service and accomplishments, Velira was named First Heroine of the Seventeenth Great Jedi War.

== Feeding Practices ==
While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified. Instead, Velira prefers to use the Anzati phrases of ''life'' ''essence or sea of memory.'' In comparison to others of her kind, Velira deems herself as taking a more "humane" approach when it comes to feeding. A few of these beliefs she chose to adopt after she became a medic.

==== Guiding Principles ====
There is one moral centered around feeding that Velira has vowed to herself to never break, for however many hundreds of years that she is alive for. She has vowed to herself to never feed upon the life essence from younglings, and would rather choose death over doing so. She views the minds of younglings as something precious and innocent, meant to be protected. As an Anzat, Velira has never fed on a youngling, but has hunted down other members of her species if she uncovered that they were found guilty of such a crime.

==== Quality Over Quantity ====
Due to years of exercising self control, while Velira is still prone to the traditional soup cravings as an Anzat, she is typically able to cope with those sensations without the need to impulsively feed. This allows her to be much more selective when it comes to her prey, as needed. Velira will typically opt to go after those with what she deems as stronger minds, if she is able to. Additionally, she feels that they have more of a fair chance of defending themselves, and so it reduces her guilt in doing so. The added benefit feeding on those with stronger minds or those who are stronger in the Force, is that the one meal can sustain Velira for much longer, as opposed to the equivalent of having quick snacks. If she is severely limited in her options, only then will she not act on this particular belief.

==== Acts of Mercy ====
Velira will not readily kill those that she feeds from, unless she uncovers that they are criminals, or under specific circumstances. Those specific circumstances sometimes arise from her patients that she oversees as a medic. If they are deemed beyond saving, or ask to be finally relieved of their suffering, only then will Velira feed from them until they pass away. She goes extra lengths to ensure that the procedure is quick and as painless as possible, certainly more painless than what is they may already have been experiencing.

==== Feeding Responsibly ====
In most circumstances, Velira go the extra length to aide her "meal" through the experience to the best of her abilities. Her proboscises are silky and precise in nature. Her knowledge as a medic and in different body systems allow her to mark specific areas of the brain to feed from, to limit the amount of harm caused. Additionally, she will typically only feed with one proboscis, while the other one is readily administering bacta fluid to the brain to help with replenishment and promote healing. She will do her best to take only what she needs, and not feed in excess. Even more so, if deemed necessary, Velira may oftentimes use the Force to alter the memories of those who she feeds on in a way so that they have no recollection of the experience, and can move forwards with their lives.

== Relationships: ==
[[File:11-Morgan-Sorenn.png|left|frameless|113x113px|Morgan ]]

=== Morgan B. Sorenn ===
Velira Morvane’s connection to [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] began with intent, hunger, and a calculated plan. Drawn initially by the intensity of Morgan’s life essence, what started as a calculated alignment of interests slowly became something else. Morgan proved to be one of the first, if not the only, people to truly accept Velira for what she is. In turn, Velira came to embrace Morgan fully: her chaos, her trauma, and the freedom that she embodies. Over time, the hunger that once defined Velira’s interest faded, replaced by genuine care. For each difference between them, something unexpected took shape— a sense of balance neither of them was meant to find. For each contrast, they came to understand one another in ways few others could, and their connection deepened.
[[File:Vigo WIKIfied.png|left|frameless|115x115px]]

=== Vigo Zakirov ===
Velira first met [[Vigo Zakirov|Vigo]] through the Shroud Syndicate during the Seventeenth Great Jedi War, when the pair were stationed on a remote world and tasked with hunting vornskyr and uncovering a Collective spy. Their pale features, dark hair, and similar appearances often led others to mistake them for relatives. Although Vigo proved more than capable, Velira became increasingly protective of him. They later fought together within the Technodome, where they killed Kendra Icasta in a battle that cost Vigo an eye and ended with Velira consuming Icasta’s life essence. Since then, Velira has regarded him with an almost maternal affection.
[[File:Sirra combat attire.jpg|border|left|frameless|139x139px|Sirra]]

=== Sirra Werd'la ===
Velira first met [[Sirra Werd'la|Sirra]] within her stay in Clan Odan Urr, where the two worked together to investigate the whereabouts of Sirra's brother, Celevon. Though Sirra was mistrusting of Velira, the two's abilities complimented one another for the sake of investigating and reaching a successful conclusion. Eventually, Sirra and Velira by chance worked together yet again, on a second mission aiding to capture several targets. Velira regards Sirra with a sense of respect, specifically when it comes to her ability to control creatures.
[[File:Miho Headshot(1).jpg|left|frameless|163x163px|Miho]]

=== Mihoshi Keibatsu ===
After spending four years within Clan Odan Urr concealing her true nature as an Anzat, it was finally uncovered by [[Mihoshi Keibatsu]]. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a place to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator, while outwardly continuing to work as a medic to conceal this. Shortly after Miho's ascension to Consul, Velira carried out an undercover mission to obtain a strain of the rakghoul virus after a recent outbreak in Kaal City for her, something known only to the two of them. Velira regards Miho as one of the rare few who knows and accepts what she truly is.
[[File:Dusa-Headshot.png|left|frameless|114x114px]]

=== Dusa Harik ===
Velira met [[Dusa Harik|Dusa]] through a concealed criminal database, communicating anonymously via datapad. Mistaking Dusa's pale features for those of a fellow Anzat, Velira arranged a meeting hoping to help another of her kind find an ethical source of soup. Instead, she discovered Dusa was simply an enthusiast of the non life draining variety of soup. Amused, Velira joined her for a meal at her favorite restaurant, where she grew fond of Dusa's cheerful and quirky personality in contrast to her own stoic disposition. Though Velira did not reveal herself to be an Anzat, she did show Dusa some of her personal sketchbook, and the pair became unlikely friends.

== Trivia: ==

* Velira's likeness is based on actress [https://i.makeagif.com/media/8-03-2015/PZa-Gs.gif Katie McGrath].

* The likeness of Velira's voice is based on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms1D7xvuF28 Jessica Brown Findlay]
* Velira’s droid, named Spyder, is loosely inspired by Thing from the Addams Family
* Velira learned how to play a B’omarr pipe organ, by feeding on the soup of the B’omarr monks of Tatooine, who were known for leaving their brains in jars once reaching enlightenment. How could she say no to free food?

== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility:''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

From an early age, Velira displayed an acute sensitivity to the Force, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands. [[File:Nurse Velira 1.png|thumb|444x444px|Velira in her medic uniform ]]Following the death of her mother, Velira could no longer stand to be anywhere near her family, as her hatred grew along with the feeling of being trapped. She found her family’s way of life hollow and grotesque— predation stripped of its challenge, turned into indulgence without purpose. While the Morvanes feasted behind silk curtains and polished marble, Velira longed for the freedom of choosing her own path and living by her own strength. Finally, Velira forged a deal with her father— She could gain access to her share of the family wealth, and have 200 years of freedom, in exchange for then returning to the throne to serve her family as soon as that time runs out.
=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment: ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another... Or at least, what Velira perceived as love in the earlier stages of her life. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.[[File:Untitled Artwork (3).PNG|thumb|476x476px|Velira's armor|left]]

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven: ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership.

Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|301x301px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine: ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr: ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to Clan Odan-Urr, a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. Mihoshi Keibatsu, the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance: ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting at ''The Sinning Den to'' align her interests with those of the notorious Morgan Sorenn. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as a Doctor among them.

==== The Seventeenth Great Jedi War, Animus: ====
As tensions with the [[The Collective|Collective]] escalated, Velira was called into service by her clan. Seeking to avoid pursuit from her Anzati family who wished to reclaim her and force her into service for their people, she answered Clan Odan Urr's call, and once again concealed herself among the clan’s medics and Jedi. Despite her efforts to remain inconspicuous, Velira rose to prominence throughout the conflict. Through her ties to the Shroud Syndicate, she traveled to a remote world alongside Vigo Zakirov to eliminate a Collective spy, later assisted in developing several battle plans, and participated in the infiltration of Rath Oligard’s estate, where she killed a high ranking duchess with deep ties to the Collective. Her final mission of the war took her into the Technodome alongside Vigo once again. There, she hunted down and killed [[The Collective: Technocratic Guild|Kendra Icasta,]] leader of the [[The Collective: Technocratic Guild|Technocratic Guild]], by draining her of her life essence. In recognition of her service and accomplishments, Velira was named First Heroine of the Seventeenth Great Jedi War.

== Feeding Practices ==
While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified. Instead, Velira prefers to use the Anzati phrases of ''life'' ''essence or sea of memory.'' In comparison to others of her kind, Velira deems herself as taking a more "humane" approach when it comes to feeding. A few of these beliefs she chose to adopt after she became a medic.

==== Guiding Principles ====
There is one moral centered around feeding that Velira has vowed to herself to never break, for however many hundreds of years that she is alive for. She has vowed to herself to never feed upon the life essence from younglings, and would rather choose death over doing so. She views the minds of younglings as something precious and innocent, meant to be protected. As an Anzat, Velira has never fed on a youngling, but has hunted down other members of her species if she uncovered that they were found guilty of such a crime.

==== Quality Over Quantity ====
Due to years of exercising self control, while Velira is still prone to the traditional soup cravings as an Anzat, she is typically able to cope with those sensations without the need to impulsively feed. This allows her to be much more selective when it comes to her prey, as needed. Velira will typically opt to go after those with what she deems as stronger minds, if she is able to. Additionally, she feels that they have more of a fair chance of defending themselves, and so it reduces her guilt in doing so. The added benefit feeding on those with stronger minds or those who are stronger in the Force, is that the one meal can sustain Velira for much longer, as opposed to the equivalent of having quick snacks. If she is severely limited in her options, only then will she not act on this particular belief.

==== Acts of Mercy ====
Velira will not readily kill those that she feeds from, unless she uncovers that they are criminals, or under specific circumstances. Those specific circumstances sometimes arise from her patients that she oversees as a medic. If they are deemed beyond saving, or ask to be finally relieved of their suffering, only then will Velira feed from them until they pass away. She goes extra lengths to ensure that the procedure is quick and as painless as possible, certainly more painless than what is they may already have been experiencing.

==== Feeding Responsibly ====
In most circumstances, Velira go the extra length to aide her "meal" through the experience to the best of her abilities. Her proboscises are silky and precise in nature. Her knowledge as a medic and in different body systems allow her to mark specific areas of the brain to feed from, to limit the amount of harm caused. Additionally, she will typically only feed with one proboscis, while the other one is readily administering bacta fluid to the brain to help with replenishment and promote healing. She will do her best to take only what she needs, and not feed in excess. Even more so, if deemed necessary, Velira may oftentimes use the Force to alter the memories of those who she feeds on in a way so that they have no recollection of the experience, and can move forwards with their lives.

== Relationships: ==
[[File:11-Morgan-Sorenn.png|left|frameless|113x113px|Morgan ]]

=== Morgan B. Sorenn ===
Velira Morvane’s connection to [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] began with intent, hunger, and a calculated plan. Drawn initially by the intensity of Morgan’s life essence, what started as a calculated alignment of interests slowly became something else. Morgan proved to be one of the first, if not the only, people to truly accept Velira for what she is. In turn, Velira came to embrace Morgan fully: her chaos, her trauma, and the freedom that she embodies. Over time, the hunger that once defined Velira’s interest faded, replaced by genuine care. For each difference between them, something unexpected took shape— a sense of balance neither of them was meant to find. For each contrast, they came to understand one another in ways few others could, and their connection deepened.
[[File:Vigo WIKIfied.png|left|frameless|115x115px]]

=== Vigo Zakirov ===
Velira first met [[Vigo Zakirov|Vigo]] through the Shroud Syndicate during the Seventeenth Great Jedi War, when the pair were stationed on a remote world and tasked with hunting vornskyr and uncovering a Collective spy. Their pale features, dark hair, and similar appearances often led others to mistake them for relatives. Although Vigo proved more than capable, Velira became increasingly protective of him. They later fought together within the Technodome, where they killed Kendra Icasta in a battle that cost Vigo an eye and ended with Velira consuming Icasta’s life essence. Since then, Velira has regarded him with an almost maternal affection.
[[File:Sirra combat attire.jpg|border|left|frameless|139x139px|Sirra]]

=== Sirra Werd'la ===
Velira first met [[Sirra Werd'la|Sirra]] within her stay in Clan Odan Urr, where the two worked together to investigate the whereabouts of Sirra's brother, Celevon. Though Sirra was mistrusting of Velira, the two's abilities complimented one another for the sake of investigating and reaching a successful conclusion. Eventually, Sirra and Velira by chance worked together yet again, on a second mission aiding to capture several targets. Velira regards Sirra with a sense of respect, specifically when it comes to her ability to control creatures.
[[File:Miho Headshot(1).jpg|left|frameless|163x163px|Miho]]

=== Mihoshi Keibatsu ===
After spending four years within Clan Odan Urr concealing her true nature as an Anzat, it was finally uncovered by [[Mihoshi Keibatsu]]. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a place to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator, while outwardly continuing to work as a medic to conceal this. Shortly after Miho's ascension to Consul, Velira carried out an undercover mission to obtain a strain of the rakghoul virus after a recent outbreak in Kaal City for her, something known only to the two of them. Velira regards Miho as one of the rare few who knows and accepts what she truly is.
[[File:Dusa-Headshot.png|left|frameless|114x114px]]

=== Dusa Harik ===
Velira met [[Dusa Harik|Dusa]] through a concealed criminal database, communicating anonymously via datapad. Mistaking Dusa's pale features for those of a fellow Anzat, Velira arranged a meeting hoping to help another of her kind find an ethical source of soup. Instead, she discovered Dusa was simply an enthusiast of the non life draining variety of soup. Amused, Velira joined her for a meal at her favorite restaurant, where she grew fond of Dusa's cheerful and quirky personality in contrast to her own stoic disposition. Though Velira did not reveal herself to be an Anzat, she did show Dusa some of her personal sketchbook, and the pair became unlikely friends.

== Trivia: ==

* Velira's likeness is based on actress Katie McGrath.
* She has the equivalent of a British accent, layered with a Romanian one. In actuality, one is from her home world of Anzat, combined with that of a Core World accent that she later picked up during her extended time spent there.
* The likeness of Velira's voice is based on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms1D7xvuF28 Jessica Brown Findlay]
* Velira’s droid, named Spyder, is loosely inspired by Thing from the Addams Family
* Velira learned how to play a B’omarr pipe organ, by feeding on the soup of the B’omarr monks of Tatooine, who were known for leaving their brains in jars once reaching enlightenment. How could she say no to free food?
* Velira is fond of making various anatomical sketches in her free time, that go along with her medical studies.

== Physical Description ==
[[File:VeliraSilkOutfit.jpg|left|thumb|546x546px|Velira's Physique ]]Despite her age, Velira physically appears only to be in her twenties. Her skin is smooth and porcelain-pale with a faint silvery undertone, flawless and almost luminous under light. Her heart shaped face is strikingly symmetrical, with high cheekbones and a narrow jawline that gives her a regal appearance. Thick, dark hair falls in loose curls, cascading over her shoulders with subtle maroon and violet undertones.

Her slightly upturned eyes are round to give her face a gentler appearance, despite the striking blood-red irises. They are framed by long, dark lashes and delicately arched brows, surrounded by shadows. Her lips are full and naturally dark, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

Her elegant figure is petite with soft, feminine curves, including a larger bust line. She has long, talon-like nails that come to naturally sharp points and are typically painted dark red in color.

Unlike others of her species, her nose remains symmetrical alongside the rest of her features, with a smooth bridge due to her intermixed heritage. Two slender facial tendrils—her Anzati proboscises— remain carefully hidden within her cheeks, invisible until she chooses to strike. When revealed, they are thin and semi-translucent compared to her already pale skin, giving them a silky, web-like appearance.
== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility:''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

From an early age, Velira displayed an acute sensitivity to the Force, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

Unknown to Velira at the time, there was a ruse for power among the other members of her family, hungry to take it for themselves. Her Mother had always kept a careful balance on their planet with distributing the prey as the sole ruler at the time, ensuring that no Anzat ever went without food. This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands. [[File:Nurse Velira 1.png|thumb|444x444px|Velira in her medic uniform ]]Following the death of her mother, Velira could no longer stand to be anywhere near her family, as her hatred grew along with the feeling of being trapped. She found her family’s way of life hollow and grotesque— predation stripped of its challenge, turned into indulgence without purpose. While the Morvanes feasted behind silk curtains and polished marble, Velira longed for the freedom of choosing her own path and living by her own strength. Finally, Velira forged a deal with her father— She could gain access to her share of the family wealth, and have 200 years of freedom, in exchange for then returning to the throne to serve her family as soon as that time runs out.
=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment: ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another... Or at least, what Velira perceived as love in the earlier stages of her life. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

There, in the darkness and silence of her entombment, she adapted. Unable to feed at will, she turned inward, using the Force to suppress her hunger, and extend the time she could go without sustenance for days at a time. These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.[[File:Untitled Artwork (3).PNG|thumb|476x476px|Velira's armor|left]]

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven: ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership. Rather than fleeing, Velira turned her focus to vengeance once more—this time against the entire coven.

Over the span of years, she methodically and covertly eliminated its members, each death disguised as misfortune, accident, or the work of rival clans. By the time her campaign of quiet destruction was complete, the coven had been reduced to scattered survivors. Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|301x301px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine: ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

== Physical Description ==
[[File:VeliraSilkOutfit.jpg|left|thumb|546x546px|Velira's Physique ]]Despite her age, Velira physically appears only to be in her twenties. Her skin is smooth and porcelain-pale with a faint silvery undertone, flawless and almost luminous under light. Her heart shaped face is strikingly symmetrical, with high cheekbones and a narrow jawline that gives her a regal appearance. Thick, dark hair falls in loose curls, cascading over her shoulders with subtle maroon and violet undertones.

Her slightly upturned eyes are round to give her face a gentler appearance, despite the striking blood-red irises. They are framed by long, dark lashes and delicately arched brows, surrounded by shadows. Her lips are full and naturally dark, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

Her elegant figure is petite with soft, feminine curves, including a larger bust line. She has long, talon-like nails that come to naturally sharp points and are typically painted dark red in color.

Unlike others of her species, her nose remains symmetrical alongside the rest of her features, with a smooth bridge due to her intermixed heritage. Two slender facial tendrils—her Anzati proboscises— remain carefully hidden within her cheeks, invisible until she chooses to strike. When revealed, they are thin and semi-translucent compared to her already pale skin, giving them a silky, web-like appearance.
== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility:''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

From an early age, Velira displayed an acute sensitivity to the Force, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

Unknown to Velira at the time, there was a ruse for power among the other members of her family, hungry to take it for themselves. Her Mother had always kept a careful balance on their planet with distributing the prey as the sole ruler at the time, ensuring that no Anzat ever went without food. This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands. [[File:Nurse Velira 1.png|thumb|444x444px|Velira in her medic uniform ]]Following the death of her mother, Velira could no longer stand to be anywhere near her family, as her hatred grew along with the feeling of being trapped. She found her family’s way of life hollow and grotesque— predation stripped of its challenge, turned into indulgence without purpose. While the Morvanes feasted behind silk curtains and polished marble, Velira longed for the freedom of choosing her own path and living by her own strength. Finally, Velira forged a deal with her father— She could gain access to her share of the family wealth, and have 200 years of freedom, in exchange for then returning to the throne to serve her family as soon as that time runs out.
=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment: ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another... Or at least, what Velira perceived as love in the earlier stages of her life. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

There, in the darkness and silence of her entombment, she adapted. Unable to feed at will, she turned inward, using the Force to suppress her hunger, and extend the time she could go without sustenance for days at a time. These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.[[File:Untitled Artwork (3).PNG|thumb|476x476px|Velira's armor|left]]

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven: ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership. Rather than fleeing, Velira turned her focus to vengeance once more—this time against the entire coven.

Over the span of years, she methodically and covertly eliminated its members, each death disguised as misfortune, accident, or the work of rival clans. By the time her campaign of quiet destruction was complete, the coven had been reduced to scattered survivors. Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|301x301px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine: ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr: ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to Clan Odan-Urr, a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. Mihoshi Keibatsu, the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance: ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting at ''The Sinning Den to'' align her interests with those of the notorious Morgan Sorenn. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as a Doctor among them.

== Feeding Practices ==
While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified. Instead, Velira prefers to use the Anzati phrases of ''life'' ''essence or sea of memory.'' In comparison to others of her kind, Velira deems herself as taking a more "humane" approach when it comes to feeding. A few of these beliefs she chose to adopt after she became a medic.

==== Guiding Principles ====
There is one moral centered around feeding that Velira has vowed to herself to never break, for however many hundreds of years that she is alive for. She has vowed to herself to never feed upon the life essence from younglings, and would rather choose death over doing so. She views the minds of younglings as something precious and innocent, meant to be protected. As an Anzat, Velira has never fed on a youngling, but has hunted down other members of her species if she uncovered that they were found guilty of such a crime.

==== Quality Over Quantity ====
Due to years of exercising self control, while Velira is still prone to the traditional soup cravings as an Anzat, she is typically able to cope with those sensations without the need to impulsively feed. This allows her to be much more selective when it comes to her prey, as needed. Velira will typically opt to go after those with what she deems as stronger minds, if she is able to. Additionally, she feels that they have more of a fair chance of defending themselves, and so it reduces her guilt in doing so. The added benefit feeding on those with stronger minds or those who are stronger in the Force, is that the one meal can sustain Velira for much longer, as opposed to the equivalent of having quick snacks. If she is severely limited in her options, only then will she not act on this particular belief.

==== Acts of Mercy ====
Velira will not readily kill those that she feeds from, unless she uncovers that they are criminals, or under specific circumstances. Those specific circumstances sometimes arise from her patients that she oversees as a medic. If they are deemed beyond saving, or ask to be finally relieved of their suffering, only then will Velira feed from them until they pass away. She goes extra lengths to ensure that the procedure is quick and as painless as possible, certainly more painless than what is they may already have been experiencing.

==== Feeding Responsibly ====
In most circumstances, Velira go the extra length to aide her "meal" through the experience to the best of her abilities. Her proboscises are silky and precise in nature. Her knowledge as a medic and in different body systems allow her to mark specific areas of the brain to feed from, to limit the amount of harm caused. Additionally, she will typically only feed with one proboscis, while the other one is readily administering bacta fluid to the brain to help with replenishment and promote healing. She will do her best to take only what she needs, and not feed in excess. Even more so, if deemed necessary, Velira may oftentimes use the Force to alter the memories of those who she feeds on in a way so that they have no recollection of the experience, and can move forwards with their lives.

== Relationships: ==
[[File:11-Morgan-Sorenn.png|left|frameless|148x148px|Morgan ]]

=== Morgan B. Sorenn ===
Velira Morvane’s connection to [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] began with intent, hunger, and a calculated plan. Drawn initially by the intensity of Morgan’s life essence, what started as a calculated alignment of interests slowly became something else. Morgan proved to be one of the first, if not the only, people to truly accept Velira for what she is. In turn, Velira came to embrace Morgan fully: her chaos, her trauma, and the freedom that she embodies. Over time, the hunger that once defined Velira’s interest faded, replaced by genuine care. For each difference between them, something unexpected took shape— a sense of balance neither of them was meant to find. For each contrast, they came to understand one another in ways few others could, and their connection deepened.
[[File:Sirra combat attire.jpg|border|left|frameless|182x182px|Sirra]]

=== Sirra Werd'la ===
Velira first met [[Sirra Werd'la|Sirra]] within her stay in Clan Odan Urr, where the two worked together to investigate the whereabouts of Sirra's brother, Celevon. Though Sirra was mistrusting of Velira, the two's abilities complimented one another for the sake of investigating and reaching a successful conclusion. Eventually, Sirra and Velira by chance worked together yet again, on a second mission aiding to capture several targets. Velira regards Sirra with a sense of respect, specifically when it comes to her ability to control creatures.

[[File:Miho Headshot(1).jpg|left|frameless|196x196px|Miho]]

=== Mihoshi Keibatsu ===
After spending four years within Clan Odan Urr concealing her true nature as an Anzat, it was finally uncovered by Mihoshi Keibatsu. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a place to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator, while outwardly continuing to work as a medic to conceal this. Shortly after Miho's ascension to Consul, Velira carried out an undercover mission to obtain a strain of the rakghoul virus after a recent outbreak in Kaal City for her, something known only to the two of them.

[[File:Dusa-Headshot.png|left|frameless|134x134px]]

=== Dusa Harik ===
The two met through a concealed criminal database, communicating anonymously via datapad. Mistaking Dusa's pale features for those of a fellow Anzat, Velira arranged a meeting hoping to help another of her kind find an ethical source of soup. Instead, she discovered Dusa was simply an enthusiast of the non life draining variety of soup. Amused, Velira joined her for a meal at her favorite restaurant, where she grew fond of Dusa's cheerful and quirky personality in contrast to her own stoic disposition. Though Velira did not reveal herself to be an Anzat, she did show Dusa some of her personal sketchbook, and the pair became unlikely friends.

== Trivia: ==

* Velira's likeness is based on actress Katie McGrath.
* She has the equivalent of a British accent, layered with a Romanian one. In actuality, one is from her home world of Anzat, combined with that of a Core World accent that she later picked up during her extended time spent there.
* The likeness of Velira's voice is based on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms1D7xvuF28 Jessica Brown Findlay]
* Velira’s droid, named Spyder, is loosely inspired by Thing from the Addams Family
* Velira learned how to play a B’omarr pipe organ, by feeding on the soup of the B’omarr monks of Tatooine, who were known for leaving their brains in jars once reaching enlightenment. How could she say no to free food?
* Velira is fond of making various anatomical sketches in her free time, that go along with her medical studies.

== Physical Description ==
[[File:VeliraSilkOutfit.jpg|left|thumb|546x546px|Velira's Physique ]]Despite her age, Velira physically appears only to be in her twenties. Her skin is smooth and porcelain-pale with a faint silvery undertone, flawless and almost luminous under light. Her heart shaped face is strikingly symmetrical, with high cheekbones and a narrow jawline that gives her a regal appearance. Thick, dark hair falls in loose curls, cascading over her shoulders with subtle maroon and violet undertones.

Her slightly upturned eyes are round to give her face a gentler appearance, despite the striking blood-red irises. They are framed by long, dark lashes and delicately arched brows, surrounded by shadows. Her lips are full and naturally dark, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

Her elegant figure is petite with soft, feminine curves, including a larger bust line. She has long, talon-like nails that come to naturally sharp points and are typically painted dark red in color.

Unlike others of her species, her nose remains symmetrical alongside the rest of her features, with a smooth bridge due to her intermixed heritage. Two slender facial tendrils—her Anzati proboscises— remain carefully hidden within her cheeks, invisible until she chooses to strike. When revealed, they are thin and semi-translucent compared to her already pale skin, giving them a silky, web-like appearance.
== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility:''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

From an early age, Velira displayed an acute sensitivity to the Force, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

Unknown to Velira at the time, there was a ruse for power among the other members of her family, hungry to take it for themselves. Her Mother had always kept a careful balance on their planet with distributing the prey as the sole ruler at the time, ensuring that no Anzat ever went without food. This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands. [[File:Nurse Velira 1.png|thumb|444x444px|Velira in her medic uniform ]]Following the death of her mother, Velira could no longer stand to be anywhere near her family, as her hatred grew along with the feeling of being trapped. She found her family’s way of life hollow and grotesque— predation stripped of its challenge, turned into indulgence without purpose. While the Morvanes feasted behind silk curtains and polished marble, Velira longed for the freedom of choosing her own path and living by her own strength. Finally, Velira forged a deal with her father— She could gain access to her share of the family wealth, and have 200 years of freedom, in exchange for then returning to the throne to serve her family as soon as that time runs out.
=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment: ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another... Or at least, what Velira perceived as love in the earlier stages of her life. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

There, in the darkness and silence of her entombment, she adapted. Unable to feed at will, she turned inward, using the Force to suppress her hunger, and extend the time she could go without sustenance for days at a time. These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.[[File:Untitled Artwork (3).PNG|thumb|476x476px|Velira's armor|left]]

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven: ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership. Rather than fleeing, Velira turned her focus to vengeance once more—this time against the entire coven.

Over the span of years, she methodically and covertly eliminated its members, each death disguised as misfortune, accident, or the work of rival clans. By the time her campaign of quiet destruction was complete, the coven had been reduced to scattered survivors. Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|301x301px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine: ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr: ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to Clan Odan-Urr, a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. Mihoshi Keibatsu, the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance: ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting at ''The Sinning Den to'' align her interests with those of the notorious Morgan Sorenn. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as a Doctor among them.

== Feeding Practices ==
While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified. Instead, Velira prefers to use the Anzati phrases of ''life'' ''essence or sea of memory.'' In comparison to others of her kind, Velira deems herself as taking a more "humane" approach when it comes to feeding. A few of these beliefs she chose to adopt after she became a medic.

==== Guiding Principles ====
There is one moral centered around feeding that Velira has vowed to herself to never break, for however many hundreds of years that she is alive for. She has vowed to herself to never feed upon the life essence from younglings, and would rather choose death over doing so. She views the minds of younglings as something precious and innocent, meant to be protected. As an Anzat, Velira has never fed on a youngling, but has hunted down other members of her species if she uncovered that they were found guilty of such a crime.

==== Quality Over Quantity ====
Due to years of exercising self control, while Velira is still prone to the traditional soup cravings as an Anzat, she is typically able to cope with those sensations without the need to impulsively feed. This allows her to be much more selective when it comes to her prey, as needed. Velira will typically opt to go after those with what she deems as stronger minds, if she is able to. Additionally, she feels that they have more of a fair chance of defending themselves, and so it reduces her guilt in doing so. The added benefit feeding on those with stronger minds or those who are stronger in the Force, is that the one meal can sustain Velira for much longer, as opposed to the equivalent of having quick snacks. If she is severely limited in her options, only then will she not act on this particular belief.

==== Acts of Mercy ====
Velira will not readily kill those that she feeds from, unless she uncovers that they are criminals, or under specific circumstances. Those specific circumstances sometimes arise from her patients that she oversees as a medic. If they are deemed beyond saving, or ask to be finally relieved of their suffering, only then will Velira feed from them until they pass away. She goes extra lengths to ensure that the procedure is quick and as painless as possible, certainly more painless than what is they may already have been experiencing.

==== Feeding Responsibly ====
In most circumstances, Velira go the extra length to aide her "meal" through the experience to the best of her abilities. Her proboscises are silky and precise in nature. Her knowledge as a medic and in different body systems allow her to mark specific areas of the brain to feed from, to limit the amount of harm caused. Additionally, she will typically only feed with one proboscis, while the other one is readily administering bacta fluid to the brain to help with replenishment and promote healing. She will do her best to take only what she needs, and not feed in excess. Even more so, if deemed necessary, Velira may oftentimes use the Force to alter the memories of those who she feeds on in a way so that they have no recollection of the experience, and can move forwards with their lives.

== Relationships: ==
[[File:11-Morgan-Sorenn.png|left|frameless|148x148px|Morgan ]]

=== Morgan B. Sorenn ===
Velira Morvane’s connection to [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] began with intent, hunger, and a calculated plan. Drawn initially by the intensity of Morgan’s life essence, what started as a calculated alignment of interests slowly became something else. Morgan proved to be one of the first, if not the only, people to truly accept Velira for what she is. In turn, Velira came to embrace Morgan fully: her chaos, her trauma, and the freedom that she embodies. Over time, the hunger that once defined Velira’s interest faded, replaced by genuine care. For each difference between them, something unexpected took shape— a sense of balance neither of them was meant to find. For each contrast, they came to understand one another in ways few others could, and their connection deepened.
[[File:Sirra combat attire.jpg|border|left|frameless|182x182px|Sirra]]

=== Sirra Werd'la ===
Velira first met [[Sirra Werd'la|Sirra]] within her stay in Clan Odan Urr, where the two worked together to investigate the whereabouts of Sirra's brother, Celevon. Though Sirra was mistrusting of Velira, the two's abilities complimented one another for the sake of investigating and reaching a successful conclusion. Eventually, Sirra and Velira by chance worked together yet again, on a second mission aiding to capture several targets. Velira regards Sirra with a sense of respect, specifically when it comes to her ability to control creatures.

[[File:Miho Headshot(1).jpg|left|frameless|196x196px|Miho]]

=== Mihoshi Keibatsu ===
After spending four years within Clan Odan Urr concealing her true nature as an Anzat, it was finally uncovered by Mihoshi Keibatsu. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a place to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator, while outwardly continuing to work as a medic to conceal this. Shortly after Miho's ascension to Consul, Velira carried out an undercover mission to obtain a strain of the rakghoul virus after a recent outbreak in Kaal City for her, something known only to the two of them.

[[File:Dusa-Headshot.png|left|frameless|134x134px]]

=== Dusa Harik ===
The two met through a concealed criminal database, communicating anonymously via datapad. Mistaking Dusa's pale features for those of a fellow Anzat, Velira arranged a meeting hoping to help another of her kind find an ethical source of soup. Instead, she discovered Dusa was simply an enthusiast of the non life draining variety of soup. Amused, Velira joined her for a meal at her favorite restaurant, where she grew fond of Dusa's cheerful and quirky personality in contrast to her own stoic disposition. Though Velira did not reveal herself to be an Anzat, she did show Dusa some of her personal sketchbook, and the pair became unlikely friends.

== Trivia: ==

* Velira's facial references are based on the likeness Megan Fox.
* She has the equivalent of a British accent, layered with a Romanian one. In actuality, one is from her home world of Anzat, combined with that of a Core World accent that she later picked up during her extended time spent there.
* The likeness of Velira's voice is based on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms1D7xvuF28 Jessica Brown Findlay]
* Velira’s droid, named Spyder, is loosely inspired by Thing from the Addams Family
* Velira learned how to play a B’omarr pipe organ, by feeding on the soup of the B’omarr monks of Tatooine, who were known for leaving their brains in jars once reaching enlightenment. How could she say no to free food?
* Velira is fond of making various anatomical sketches in her free time, that go along with her medical studies.

== Physical Description ==
[[File:VeliraSilkOutfit.jpg|left|thumb|546x546px|Velira's Physique ]]Despite her age, Velira physically appears only to be in her twenties. Her skin is smooth and porcelain-pale with a faint silvery undertone, flawless and almost luminous under light. Her heart shaped face is strikingly symmetrical, with high cheekbones and a narrow jawline that gives her a regal appearance. Thick, dark hair falls in loose curls, cascading over her shoulders with subtle maroon and violet undertones.

Her slightly upturned eyes are round to give her face a gentler appearance, despite the striking blood-red irises. They are framed by long, dark lashes and delicately arched brows, surrounded by shadows. Her lips are full and naturally dark, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

Her elegant figure is petite with soft, feminine curves, including a larger bust line. She has long, talon-like nails that come to naturally sharp points and are typically painted dark red in color.

Unlike others of her species, her nose remains symmetrical alongside the rest of her features, with a smooth bridge due to her intermixed heritage. Two slender facial tendrils—her Anzati proboscises— remain carefully hidden within her cheeks, invisible until she chooses to strike. When revealed, they are thin and semi-translucent compared to her already pale skin, giving them a silky, web-like appearance.
== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility:''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

From an early age, Velira displayed an acute sensitivity to the Force, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

Unknown to Velira at the time, there was a ruse for power among the other members of her family, hungry to take it for themselves. Her Mother had always kept a careful balance on their planet with distributing the prey as the sole ruler at the time, ensuring that no Anzat ever went without food. This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands. [[File:Nurse Velira 1.png|thumb|444x444px|Velira in her medic uniform ]]Following the death of her mother, Velira could no longer stand to be anywhere near her family, as her hatred grew along with the feeling of being trapped. She found her family’s way of life hollow and grotesque— predation stripped of its challenge, turned into indulgence without purpose. While the Morvanes feasted behind silk curtains and polished marble, Velira longed for the freedom of choosing her own path and living by her own strength. Finally, Velira forged a deal with her father— She could gain access to her share of the family wealth, and have 200 years of freedom, in exchange for then returning to the throne to serve her family as soon as that time runs out.
=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment: ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another... Or at least, what Velira perceived as love in the earlier stages of her life. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

There, in the darkness and silence of her entombment, she adapted. Unable to feed at will, she turned inward, using the Force to suppress her hunger, and extend the time she could go without sustenance for days at a time. These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.[[File:Untitled Artwork (3).PNG|thumb|476x476px|Velira's armor|left]]

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven: ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership. Rather than fleeing, Velira turned her focus to vengeance once more—this time against the entire coven.

Over the span of years, she methodically and covertly eliminated its members, each death disguised as misfortune, accident, or the work of rival clans. By the time her campaign of quiet destruction was complete, the coven had been reduced to scattered survivors. Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|301x301px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine: ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr: ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to Clan Odan-Urr, a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. Mihoshi Keibatsu, the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance: ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting at ''The Sinning Den to'' align her interests with those of the notorious Morgan Sorenn. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as a Doctor among them.

== Feeding Practices ==
While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified. Instead, Velira prefers to use the Anzati phrases of ''life'' ''essence or sea of memory.'' In comparison to others of her kind, Velira deems herself as taking a more "humane" approach when it comes to feeding. A few of these beliefs she chose to adopt after she became a medic.

==== Guiding Principles ====
There is one moral centered around feeding that Velira has vowed to herself to never break, for however many hundreds of years that she is alive for. She has vowed to herself to never feed upon the life essence from younglings, and would rather choose death over doing so. She views the minds of younglings as something precious and innocent, meant to be protected. As an Anzat, Velira has never fed on a youngling, but has hunted down other members of her species if she uncovered that they were found guilty of such a crime.

==== Quality Over Quantity ====
Due to years of exercising self control, while Velira is still prone to the traditional soup cravings as an Anzat, she is typically able to cope with those sensations without the need to impulsively feed. This allows her to be much more selective when it comes to her prey, as needed. Velira will typically opt to go after those with what she deems as stronger minds, if she is able to. Additionally, she feels that they have more of a fair chance of defending themselves, and so it reduces her guilt in doing so. The added benefit feeding on those with stronger minds or those who are stronger in the Force, is that the one meal can sustain Velira for much longer, as opposed to the equivalent of having quick snacks. If she is severely limited in her options, only then will she not act on this particular belief.

==== Acts of Mercy ====
Velira will not readily kill those that she feeds from, unless she uncovers that they are criminals, or under specific circumstances. Those specific circumstances sometimes arise from her patients that she oversees as a medic. If they are deemed beyond saving, or ask to be finally relieved of their suffering, only then will Velira feed from them until they pass away. She goes extra lengths to ensure that the procedure is quick and as painless as possible, certainly more painless than what is they may already have been experiencing.

==== Feeding Responsibly ====
In most circumstances, Velira go the extra length to aide her "meal" through the experience to the best of her abilities. Her proboscises are silky and precise in nature. Her knowledge as a medic and in different body systems allow her to mark specific areas of the brain to feed from, to limit the amount of harm caused.

She will do her best to take only what she needs, and not feed in excess. Even more so, if deemed necessary, Velira may oftentimes use the Force to alter the memories of those who she feeds on in a way so that they have no recollection of the experience, and can move forwards with their lives.

[[File:11-Morgan-Sorenn.png|left|frameless|148x148px|Morgan ]]

=== Morgan B. Sorenn ===
Velira Morvane’s connection to [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] began with intent, hunger, and a calculated plan. Drawn initially by the intensity of Morgan’s life essence, what started as a calculated alignment of interests slowly became something else. Morgan proved to be one of the first, if not the only, people to truly accept Velira for what she is. In turn, Velira came to embrace Morgan fully: her chaos, her trauma, and the freedom that she embodies. Over time, the hunger that once defined Velira’s interest faded, replaced by genuine care. For each difference between them, something unexpected took shape— a sense of balance neither of them was meant to find. For each contrast, they came to understand one another in ways few others could, and their connection deepened.

Though Sirra was mistrusting of Velira, the two's abilities complimented one another for the sake of investigating and reaching a successful conclusion. Eventually, Sirra and Velira by chance worked together yet again, on a second mission aiding to capture several targets. Velira regards Sirra with a sense of respect, specifically when it comes to her ability to control creatures.

After spending four years within Clan Odan Urr concealing her true nature as an Anzat, it was finally uncovered by Mihoshi Keibatsu.

Shortly after Miho's ascension to Consul, Velira carried out an undercover mission to obtain a strain of the rakghoul virus after a recent outbreak in Kaal City for her, something known only to the two of them.

== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility:''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

Unknown to Velira at the time, there was a ruse for power among the other members of her family, hungry to take it for themselves. Her Mother had always kept a careful balance on their planet with distributing the prey as the sole ruler at the time, ensuring that no Anzat ever went without food. This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands.

=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment: ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another... Or at least, what Velira perceived as love in the earlier stages of her life. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

There, in the darkness and silence of her entombment, she adapted. Unable to feed at will, she turned inward, using the Force to suppress her hunger, and extend the time she could go without sustenance for days at a time. These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.[[File:Untitled Artwork (3).PNG|thumb|476x476px|Velira's armor|left]]

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven: ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership. Rather than fleeing, Velira turned her focus to vengeance once more—this time against the entire coven.

Over the span of years, she methodically and covertly eliminated its members, each death disguised as misfortune, accident, or the work of rival clans. By the time her campaign of quiet destruction was complete, the coven had been reduced to scattered survivors. Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|301x301px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine: ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr: ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to Clan Odan-Urr, a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. Mihoshi Keibatsu, the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance: ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting at ''The Sinning Den to'' align her interests with those of the notorious Morgan Sorenn. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as a Doctor among them.

== Feeding Practices ==
While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified. Instead, Velira prefers to use the Anzati phrases of ''life'' ''essence or sea of memory.'' In comparison to others of her kind, Velira deems herself as taking a more "humane" approach when it comes to feeding. A few of these beliefs she chose to adopt after she became a medic.

==== Guiding Principles ====
There is one moral centered around feeding that Velira has vowed to herself to never break, for however many hundreds of years that she is alive for. She has vowed to herself to never feed upon the life essence from younglings, and would rather choose death over doing so. She views the minds of younglings as something precious and innocent, meant to be protected. As an Anzat, Velira has never fed on a youngling, but has hunted down other members of her species if she uncovered that they were found guilty of such a crime.

==== Quality Over Quantity ====
Due to years of exercising self control, while Velira is still prone to the traditional soup cravings as an Anzat, she is typically able to cope with those sensations without the need to impulsively feed. This allows her to be much more selective when it comes to her prey, as needed. Velira will typically opt to go after those with what she deems as stronger minds, if she is able to. Additionally, she feels that they have more of a fair chance of defending themselves, and so it reduces her guilt in doing so. The added benefit feeding on those with stronger minds or those who are stronger in the Force, is that the one meal can sustain Velira for much longer, as opposed to the equivalent of having quick snacks. If she is severely limited in her options, only then will she not act on this particular belief.

==== Acts of Mercy ====
Velira will not readily kill those that she feeds from, unless she uncovers that they are criminals, or under specific circumstances. Those specific circumstances sometimes arise from her patients that she oversees as a medic. If they are deemed beyond saving, or ask to be finally relieved of their suffering, only then will Velira feed from them until they pass away. She goes extra lengths to ensure that the procedure is quick and as painless as possible, certainly more painless than what is they may already have been experiencing.

==== Feeding Responsibly ====
In most circumstances, Velira go the extra length to aide her "meal" through the experience to the best of her abilities. Her proboscises are silky and precise in nature. Her knowledge as a medic and in different body systems allow her to mark specific areas of the brain to feed from, to limit the amount of harm caused. Additionally, she will typically only feed with one proboscis, while the other one is readily administering bacta fluid to the brain to help with replenishment and promote healing. She will do her best to take only what she needs, and not feed in excess. Even more so, if deemed necessary, Velira may oftentimes use the Force to alter the memories of those who she feeds on in a way so that they have no recollection of the experience, and can move forwards with their lives.

== Relationships: ==
[[File:11-Morgan-Sorenn.png|left|frameless|148x148px|Morgan ]]

=== Morgan B. Sorenn ===
Velira Morvane’s connection to [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] began with intent, hunger, and a calculated plan. Drawn initially by the intensity of Morgan’s life essence, what started as a calculated alignment of interests slowly became something else. Morgan proved to be one of the first, if not the only, people to truly accept Velira for what she is. In turn, Velira came to embrace Morgan fully: her chaos, her trauma, and the freedom that she embodies. Over time, the hunger that once defined Velira’s interest faded, replaced by genuine care. For each difference between them, something unexpected took shape— a sense of balance neither of them was meant to find. For each contrast, they came to understand one another in ways few others could, and their connection deepened.
[[File:Sirra combat attire.jpg|border|left|frameless|182x182px|Sirra]]

=== Sirra Werd'la ===
Velira first met [[Sirra Werd'la|Sirra]] within her stay in Clan Odan Urr, where the two worked together to investigate the whereabouts of Sirra's brother, Celevon. Though Sirra was mistrusting of Velira, the two's abilities complimented one another for the sake of investigating and reaching a successful conclusion. Eventually, Sirra and Velira by chance worked together yet again, on a second mission aiding to capture several targets. Velira regards Sirra with a sense of respect, specifically when it comes to her ability to control creatures.

[[File:Miho Headshot(1).jpg|left|frameless|196x196px|Miho]]

=== Mihoshi Keibatsu ===
After spending four years within Clan Odan Urr concealing her true nature as an Anzat, it was finally uncovered by Mihoshi Keibatsu. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a place to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator, while outwardly continuing to work as a medic to conceal this. Shortly after Miho's ascension to Consul, Velira carried out an undercover mission to obtain a strain of the rakghoul virus after a recent outbreak in Kaal City for her, something known only to the two of them.

[[File:Dusa-Headshot.png|left|frameless|134x134px]]

=== Dusa Harik ===
The two met through a concealed criminal database, communicating anonymously via datapad. Mistaking Dusa's pale features for those of a fellow Anzat, Velira arranged a meeting hoping to help another of her kind find an ethical source of soup. Instead, she discovered Dusa was simply an enthusiast of the non life draining variety of soup. Amused, Velira joined her for a meal at her favorite restaurant, where she grew fond of Dusa's cheerful and quirky personality in contrast to her own stoic disposition. Though Velira did not reveal herself to be an Anzat, she did show Dusa some of her personal sketchbook, and the pair became unlikely friends.

== Trivia: ==

* Velira's facial references are based on the likeness Megan Fox.
* She has the equivalent of a British accent, layered with a Romanian one. In actuality, one is from her home world of Anzat, combined with that of a Core World accent that she later picked up during her extended time spent there.
* The likeness of Velira's voice is based on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms1D7xvuF28 Jessica Brown Findlay]
* Velira’s droid, named Spyder, is loosely inspired by Thing from the Addams Family
* Velira learned how to play a B’omarr pipe organ, by feeding on the soup of the B’omarr monks of Tatooine, who were known for leaving their brains in jars once reaching enlightenment. How could she say no to free food?
* Velira is fond of making various anatomical sketches in her free time, that go along with her medical studies.

== Physical Description ==
[[File:VeliraSilkOutfit.jpg|left|thumb|546x546px|Velira's Physique ]]Despite her age, Velira physically appears only to be in her twenties. Her skin is smooth and porcelain-pale with a faint silvery undertone, flawless and almost luminous under light. Her heart shaped face is strikingly symmetrical, with high cheekbones and a narrow jawline that gives her a regal appearance. Thick, dark hair falls in loose curls, cascading over her shoulders with subtle maroon and violet undertones.

Her slightly upturned eyes are round to give her face a gentler appearance, despite the striking blood-red irises. They are framed by long, dark lashes and delicately arched brows, surrounded by shadows. Her lips are full and naturally dark, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

Her elegant figure is petite with soft, feminine curves, including a larger bust line. She has long, talon-like nails that come to naturally sharp points and are typically painted dark red in color.

Unlike others of her species, her nose remains symmetrical alongside the rest of her features, with a smooth bridge due to her intermixed heritage. Two slender facial tendrils—her Anzati proboscises— remain carefully hidden within her cheeks, invisible until she chooses to strike. When revealed, they are thin and semi-translucent compared to her already pale skin, giving them a silky, web-like appearance.
== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility:''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

From an early age, Velira displayed an acute sensitivity to the Force, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

Unknown to Velira at the time, there was a ruse for power among the other members of her family, hungry to take it for themselves. Her Mother had always kept a careful balance on their planet with distributing the prey as the sole ruler at the time, ensuring that no Anzat ever went without food. This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands. [[File:Nurse Velira 1.png|thumb|444x444px|Velira in her medic uniform ]]Following the death of her mother, Velira could no longer stand to be anywhere near her family, as her hatred grew along with the feeling of being trapped. She found her family’s way of life hollow and grotesque— predation stripped of its challenge, turned into indulgence without purpose. While the Morvanes feasted behind silk curtains and polished marble, Velira longed for the freedom of choosing her own path and living by her own strength. Finally, Velira forged a deal with her father— She could gain access to her share of the family wealth, and have 200 years of freedom, in exchange for then returning to the throne to serve her family as soon as that time runs out.
=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment: ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another... Or at least, what Velira perceived as love in the earlier stages of her life. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

There, in the darkness and silence of her entombment, she adapted. Unable to feed at will, she turned inward, using the Force to suppress her hunger, and extend the time she could go without sustenance for days at a time. These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.[[File:Untitled Artwork (3).PNG|thumb|476x476px|Velira's armor|left]]

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven: ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership. Rather than fleeing, Velira turned her focus to vengeance once more—this time against the entire coven.

Over the span of years, she methodically and covertly eliminated its members, each death disguised as misfortune, accident, or the work of rival clans. By the time her campaign of quiet destruction was complete, the coven had been reduced to scattered survivors. Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|301x301px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine: ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr: ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to Clan Odan-Urr, a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. Mihoshi Keibatsu, the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance: ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting at ''The Sinning Den to'' align her interests with those of the notorious Morgan Sorenn. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as a Doctor among them.

== Feeding Practices ==
While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified.

[[File:11-Morgan-Sorenn.png|left|frameless|148x148px|Morgan ]]

=== Morgan B. Sorenn ===
Velira Morvane’s connection to [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] began with intent, hunger, and a calculated plan. Drawn initially by the intensity of Morgan’s life essence, what started as a calculated alignment of interests slowly became something else. Morgan proved to be one of the first, if not the only, people to truly accept Velira for what she is. In turn, Velira came to embrace Morgan fully: her chaos, her trauma, and the freedom that she embodies. Over time, the hunger that once defined Velira’s interest faded, replaced by genuine care. For each difference between them, something unexpected took shape— a sense of balance neither of them was meant to find. For each contrast, they came to understand one another in ways few others could, and their connection deepened.

=== Sirra Werd'la ===
Velira first met [[Sirra Werd'la|Sirra]] within her stay in Clan Odan Urr, where the two worked together to investigate the whereabouts of Sirra's brother, Celevon. Though Sirra was mistrusting of Velira, the two's abilities complimented one another for the sake of investigating and reaching a successful conclusion. Eventually, Sirra and Velira by chance worked together yet again, on a second mission aiding to capture several targets. Velira regards Sirra with a sense of respect, specifically when it comes to her ability to control creatures.

[[File:Miho Headshot(1).jpg|left|frameless|196x196px|Miho]]

=== Mihoshi Keibatsu ===
After spending four years within Clan Odan Urr concealing her true nature as an Anzat, it was finally uncovered by Mihoshi Keibatsu. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a place to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator, while outwardly continuing to work as a medic to conceal this. Shortly after Miho's ascension to Consul, Velira carried out an undercover mission to obtain a strain of the rakghoul virus after a recent outbreak in Kaal City for her, something known only to the two of them.

[[File:Dusa-Headshot.png|left|frameless|134x134px]]

=== Dusa Harik ===
The two met through a concealed criminal database, communicating anonymously via datapad.

Instead, she discovered Dusa was simply an enthusiast of the non life draining variety of soup. Amused, Velira joined her for a meal at her favorite restaurant, where she grew fond of Dusa's cheerful and quirky personality in contrast to her own stoic disposition. Though Velira did not reveal herself to be an Anzat, she did show Dusa some of her personal sketchbook, and the pair became unlikely friends.

== Trivia: ==

* Velira's facial references are based on the likeness Megan Fox.
* She has the equivalent of a British accent, layered with a Romanian one. In actuality, one is from her home world of Anzat, combined with that of a Core World accent that she later picked up during her extended time spent there.
* The likeness of Velira's voice is based on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms1D7xvuF28 Jessica Brown Findlay]
* Velira’s droid, named Spyder, is loosely inspired by Thing from the Addams Family
* Velira learned how to play a B’omarr pipe organ, by feeding on the soup of the B’omarr monks of Tatooine, who were known for leaving their brains in jars once reaching enlightenment. How could she say no to free food?
* Velira is fond of making various anatomical sketches in her free time, that go along with her medical studies.

== Physical Description ==
[[File:VeliraSilkOutfit.jpg|left|thumb|546x546px|Velira's Physique ]]Despite her age, Velira physically appears only to be in her twenties. Her skin is smooth and porcelain-pale with a faint silvery undertone, flawless and almost luminous under light. Her heart shaped face is strikingly symmetrical, with high cheekbones and a narrow jawline that gives her a regal appearance. Thick, dark hair falls in loose curls, cascading over her shoulders with subtle maroon and violet undertones.

Her slightly upturned eyes are round to give her face a gentler appearance, despite the striking blood-red irises. They are framed by long, dark lashes and delicately arched brows, surrounded by shadows. Her lips are full and naturally dark, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

Her elegant figure is petite with soft, feminine curves, including a larger bust line. She has long, talon-like nails that come to naturally sharp points and are typically painted dark red in color.

Unlike others of her species, her nose remains symmetrical alongside the rest of her features, with a smooth bridge due to her intermixed heritage. Two slender facial tendrils—her Anzati proboscises— remain carefully hidden within her cheeks, invisible until she chooses to strike. When revealed, they are thin and semi-translucent compared to her already pale skin, giving them a silky, web-like appearance.
== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility:''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

From an early age, Velira displayed an acute sensitivity to the Force, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

Unknown to Velira at the time, there was a ruse for power among the other members of her family, hungry to take it for themselves. Her Mother had always kept a careful balance on their planet with distributing the prey as the sole ruler at the time, ensuring that no Anzat ever went without food. This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands. [[File:Nurse Velira 1.png|thumb|444x444px|Velira in her medic uniform ]]Following the death of her mother, Velira could no longer stand to be anywhere near her family, as her hatred grew along with the feeling of being trapped. She found her family’s way of life hollow and grotesque— predation stripped of its challenge, turned into indulgence without purpose. While the Morvanes feasted behind silk curtains and polished marble, Velira longed for the freedom of choosing her own path and living by her own strength. Finally, Velira forged a deal with her father— She could gain access to her share of the family wealth, and have 200 years of freedom, in exchange for then returning to the throne to serve her family as soon as that time runs out.
=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment: ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another... Or at least, what Velira perceived as love in the earlier stages of her life. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

There, in the darkness and silence of her entombment, she adapted. Unable to feed at will, she turned inward, using the Force to suppress her hunger, and extend the time she could go without sustenance for days at a time. These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.[[File:Untitled Artwork (3).PNG|thumb|476x476px|Velira's armor|left]]

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven: ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership. Rather than fleeing, Velira turned her focus to vengeance once more—this time against the entire coven.

Over the span of years, she methodically and covertly eliminated its members, each death disguised as misfortune, accident, or the work of rival clans. By the time her campaign of quiet destruction was complete, the coven had been reduced to scattered survivors. Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|301x301px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine: ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr: ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to Clan Odan-Urr, a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. Mihoshi Keibatsu, the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance: ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting at ''The Sinning Den to'' align her interests with those of the notorious Morgan Sorenn. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as a Doctor among them.

== Feeding Practices ==
While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified. Instead, Velira prefers to use the Anzati phrases of ''life'' ''essence or sea of memory.'' In comparison to others of her kind, Velira deems herself as taking a more "humane" approach when it comes to feeding. A few of these beliefs she chose to adopt after she became a medic.

==== Guiding Principles ====
There is one moral centered around feeding that Velira has vowed to herself to never break, for however many hundreds of years that she is alive for. She has vowed to herself to never feed upon the life essence from younglings, and would rather choose death over doing so. She views the minds of younglings as something precious and innocent, meant to be protected. As an Anzat, Velira has never fed on a youngling, but has hunted down other members of her species if she uncovered that they were found guilty of such a crime.

==== Quality Over Quantity ====
Due to years of exercising self control, while Velira is still prone to the traditional soup cravings as an Anzat, she is typically able to cope with those sensations without the need to impulsively feed. This allows her to be much more selective when it comes to her prey, as needed. Velira will typically opt to go after those with what she deems as stronger minds, if she is able to. Additionally, she feels that they have more of a fair chance of defending themselves, and so it reduces her guilt in doing so. The added benefit feeding on those with stronger minds or those who are stronger in the Force, is that the one meal can sustain Velira for much longer, as opposed to the equivalent of having quick snacks. If she is severely limited in her options, only then will she not act on this particular belief.

==== Acts of Mercy ====
Velira will not readily kill those that she feeds from, unless she uncovers that they are criminals, or under specific circumstances. Those specific circumstances sometimes arise from her patients that she oversees as a medic. If they are deemed beyond saving, or ask to be finally relieved of their suffering, only then will Velira feed from them until they pass away. She goes extra lengths to ensure that the procedure is quick and as painless as possible, certainly more painless than what is they may already have been experiencing.

==== Feeding Responsibly ====
In most circumstances, Velira go the extra length to aide her "meal" through the experience to the best of her abilities. Her proboscises are silky and precise in nature. Her knowledge as a medic and in different body systems allow her to mark specific areas of the brain to feed from, to limit the amount of harm caused. Additionally, she will typically only feed with one proboscis, while the other one is readily administering bacta fluid to the brain to help with replenishment and promote healing. She will do her best to take only what she needs, and not feed in excess. Even more so, if deemed necessary, Velira may oftentimes use the Force to alter the memories of those who she feeds on in a way so that they have no recollection of the experience, and can move forwards with their lives.

== Relationships: ==

=== Morgan B. Sorenn ===
Velira Morvane’s connection to [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] began with intent, hunger, and a calculated plan. Drawn initially by the intensity of Morgan’s life essence, what started as a calculated alignment of interests slowly became something else. Morgan proved to be one of the first, if not the only, people to truly accept Velira for what she is. In turn, Velira came to embrace Morgan fully: her chaos, her trauma, and the freedom that she embodies. Over time, the hunger that once defined Velira’s interest faded, replaced by genuine care.

For each difference between them, something unexpected took shape— a sense of balance neither of them was meant to find. For each contrast, they came to understand one another in ways few others could, and their connection deepened.

=== Sirra Werd'la ===
Velira first met [[Sirra Werd'la|Sirra]] within her stay in Clan Odan Urr, where the two worked together to investigate the whereabouts of Sirra's brother, Celevon. Though Sirra was mistrusting of Velira, the two's abilities complimented one another for the sake of investigating and reaching a successful conclusion. Eventually, Sirra and Velira by chance worked together yet again, on a second mission aiding to capture several targets. Velira regards Sirra with a sense of respect, specifically when it comes to her ability to control creatures.

=== Mihoshi Keibatsu ===
After spending four years within Clan Odan Urr concealing her true nature as an Anzat, it was finally uncovered by Mihoshi Keibatsu. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a place to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator, while outwardly continuing to work as a medic to conceal this. Shortly after Miho's ascension to Consul, Velira carried out an undercover mission to obtain a strain of the rakghoul virus after a recent outbreak in Kaal City for her, something known only to the two of them.

=== Dusa Harik ===
The two met through a concealed criminal database, communicating anonymously via datapad. Mistaking Dusa's pale features for those of a fellow Anzat, Velira arranged a meeting hoping to help another of her kind find an ethical source of soup. Instead, she discovered Dusa was simply an enthusiast of the non life draining variety of soup. Amused, Velira joined her for a meal at her favorite restaurant, where she grew fond of Dusa's cheerful and quirky personality in contrast to her own stoic disposition. Though Velira did not reveal herself to be an Anzat, she did show Dusa some of her personal sketchbook, and the pair became unlikely friends.

== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility:''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts.

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven: ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray.

By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art.

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr: ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to Clan Odan-Urr, a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. Mihoshi Keibatsu, the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance: ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting at ''The Sinning Den to'' align her interests with those of the notorious Morgan Sorenn. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as a Doctor among them.

== Feeding Practices ==
While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified. Instead, Velira prefers to use the Anzati phrases of ''life'' ''essence or sea of memory.'' In comparison to others of her kind, Velira deems herself as taking a more "humane" approach when it comes to feeding. A few of these beliefs she chose to adopt after she became a medic.

==== Guiding Principles ====
There is one moral centered around feeding that Velira has vowed to herself to never break, for however many hundreds of years that she is alive for. She has vowed to herself to never feed upon the life essence from younglings, and would rather choose death over doing so. She views the minds of younglings as something precious and innocent, meant to be protected. As an Anzat, Velira has never fed on a youngling, but has hunted down other members of her species if she uncovered that they were found guilty of such a crime.

==== Quality Over Quantity ====
Due to years of exercising self control, while Velira is still prone to the traditional soup cravings as an Anzat, she is typically able to cope with those sensations without the need to impulsively feed. This allows her to be much more selective when it comes to her prey, as needed. Velira will typically opt to go after those with what she deems as stronger minds, if she is able to. Additionally, she feels that they have more of a fair chance of defending themselves, and so it reduces her guilt in doing so. The added benefit feeding on those with stronger minds or those who are stronger in the Force, is that the one meal can sustain Velira for much longer, as opposed to the equivalent of having quick snacks. If she is severely limited in her options, only then will she not act on this particular belief.

==== Acts of Mercy ====
Velira will not readily kill those that she feeds from, unless she uncovers that they are criminals, or under specific circumstances. Those specific circumstances sometimes arise from her patients that she oversees as a medic. If they are deemed beyond saving, or ask to be finally relieved of their suffering, only then will Velira feed from them until they pass away. She goes extra lengths to ensure that the procedure is quick and as painless as possible, certainly more painless than what is they may already have been experiencing.

==== Feeding Responsibly ====
In most circumstances, Velira go the extra length to aide her "meal" through the experience to the best of her abilities. Her proboscises are silky and precise in nature. Her knowledge as a medic and in different body systems allow her to mark specific areas of the brain to feed from, to limit the amount of harm caused. Additionally, she will typically only feed with one proboscis, while the other one is readily administering bacta fluid to the brain to help with replenishment and promote healing. She will do her best to take only what she needs, and not feed in excess. Even more so, if deemed necessary, Velira may oftentimes use the Force to alter the memories of those who she feeds on in a way so that they have no recollection of the experience, and can move forwards with their lives.

== Relationships: ==

=== Morgan B. Sorenn ===
Velira Morvane’s connection to [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] began with intent, hunger, and a calculated plan. Drawn initially by the intensity of Morgan’s life essence, what started as a calculated alignment of interests slowly became something else. Morgan proved to be one of the first, if not the only, people to truly accept Velira for what she is. In turn, Velira came to embrace Morgan fully: her chaos, her trauma, and the freedom that she embodies. Over time, the hunger that once defined Velira’s interest faded, replaced by genuine care.

For each difference between them, something unexpected took shape— a sense of balance neither of them was meant to find. For each contrast, they came to understand one another in ways few others could, and their connection deepened.

=== Sirra Werd'la ===
Velira first met [[Sirra Werd'la|Sirra]] within her stay in Clan Odan Urr, where the two worked together to investigate the whereabouts of Sirra's brother, Celevon. Though Sirra was mistrusting of Velira, the two's abilities complimented one another for the sake of investigating and reaching a successful conclusion. Eventually, Sirra and Velira by chance worked together yet again, on a second mission aiding to capture several targets. Velira regards Sirra with a sense of respect, specifically when it comes to her ability to control creatures.

=== Mihoshi Keibatsu ===
After spending four years within Clan Odan Urr concealing her true nature as an Anzat, it was finally uncovered by Mihoshi Keibatsu. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a place to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator, while outwardly continuing to work as a medic to conceal this. Shortly after Miho's ascension to Consul, Velira carried out an undercover mission to obtain a strain of the rakghoul virus after a recent outbreak in Kaal City for her, something known only to the two of them.

=== Dusa Harik ===
The two met through a concealed criminal database, communicating anonymously via datapad. Mistaking Dusa's pale features for those of a fellow Anzat, Velira arranged a meeting hoping to help another of her kind find an ethical source of soup. Instead, she discovered Dusa was simply an enthusiast of the non life draining variety of soup. Amused, Velira joined her for a meal at her favorite restaurant, where she grew fond of Dusa's cheerful and quirky personality in contrast to her own stoic disposition. Though Velira did not reveal herself to be an Anzat, Velira did show Dusa some of her personal sketchbook, and the pair became unlikely friends.

== Trivia: ==

* Velira's facial references are based on the likeness Megan Fox.
* She has the equivalent of a British accent, layered with a Romanian one. In actuality, one is from her home world of Anzat, combined with that of a Core World accent that she later picked up during her extended time spent there.
* The likeness of Velira's voice is based on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms1D7xvuF28 Jessica Brown Findlay]
* Velira’s droid, named Spyder, is loosely inspired by Thing from the Addams Family
* Velira learned how to play a B’omarr pipe organ, by feeding on the soup of the B’omarr monks of Tatooine, who were known for leaving their brains in jars once reaching enlightenment. How could she say no to free food?
* Velira is fond of making various anatomical sketches in her free time, that go along with her medical studies.

== Physical Description ==

Syrena has a rather striking appearance, due to the vibrancy of her gaze and the glow of her pale hair in the fluorescence of light. She has a diamond-shaped face with high cheekbones and full lips that are peach-toned, though her eyes are her most prominent feature. Slightly upturned, they are framed by thick black lashes. Her light-colored eyes almost seem to glow, with irises that are light silver with hints of lavender.

Her silky hair falls in a cascade of soft waves to her waist. She will typically either wear her hair down, or in an ornate braid. Similar to Syrena's eyes, her hair also seems to glow when underneath the light. This is due to the color, which is that of a soft pink, with vibrant icy white highlights.

Her smooth skin is rose-hued in color, though holds cooler silvery undertones and is slightly darker than her hair, creating a contrast that adds to the overall striking quality to her appearance. Despite her rough past, she has very little scars compared to others who have met the same fate. Her only remaining scars caused by chains, are ringed faintly around her wrists, which she frequently does her best to conceal the best she can... Any other distinguishing marks from her rough history, Syrena has seemingly gone to great lengths to remove.

Her build is slim and in overall form, though is accentuated by feminine curves and an hourglass shaped figure. Having also spent several years as a dancer, her elegant legs and stomach are lightly toned to reflect this.
=== Attire ===
Having been deprived of her own freewill for the majority of her life, Syrena prefers a sense of luxury and elegance when it comes to her attire, and isn't afraid to opt for anything that's eye-catching. When it comes to combat, she prefers formfitting armor that allows for flexibility, that is typically white in color with silver-chrome accents. To match, Syrena also wears a white hooded cloak with the design elements of two binary stars, which shimmer with the embellishments of smaller crystals surrounding them.[[File:Syrena Battle Armor 1.jpg|thumb|Syrena's Battle Armor|left|428x428px]]Even when it comes to lounge-wear, Syrena prefers to wear fine silk dresses with matching evening gloves. She enjoys clothing with a sense of movement and fluidity, or clothing that contains shimmer, as she feels it helps to better showcase her movements when it comes to her hobby of dancing.

[[File:SyrenaFormalAttire.jpg|thumb|One of Syrena's many dresses|443x443px|center]]

== '''Character History''' ==

=== Early Life ===

Her only remaining memento from her Mother is a simple letter marred with rough edges simply reading, "I am sorry, but I had no other choice Syrena," along with a woven black leather bracelet. Despite being sold into slavery, Syrena's first placement as a child was a relatively fortunate one. She worked in the household of a wealthy couple, the Valkars, who lived on Coruscant’s upper levels, where her daily tasks included basic cleaning and folding laundry. Syrena developed a friendship with some of the Droids employed there as well, one of which was a Protocol Droid who aided in her early education. As the years passed, eventually the couple grew to care for her as one of their own, and Syrena found herself in a loving home– Yet this was not to be forever.

One dark evening, the Valkar family was assassinated, and Syrena found herself admitted back into the slave trade at age fifteen. As always, she was sold to the wealthiest bidder, this time another wealthy family— But one that was not so kind, and made their living dealing in weaponry. In this new placement, Syrena spent years of mistreatment being overworked on the daily.

=== Performer of the Night ===
In the few rare moments that she had the stamina and time to herself, Syrena found solace training herself in the art of dance, which would later translate into her knowledge of martial arts. Yet the moment this talent of hers was noticed, Syrena found herself sold again at the age of eighteen, this time at a much higher price to none other than nightclub owner and crime lord, Elethar Kheth.

The club was a popular one within the Uscru District of Coruscant, one where the exotic dancers were all slaves like herself. Though it wouldn’t have been her first choice in style of dance, Syrena was able to find a sense of respite in the fact that she was able to work doing something she remotely enjoyed. Due to her nature as a Zeltron, she found that she thrived in the club setting and that her attractiveness deemed her high in demand amidst the patrons. Syrena even managed to slyly pocket a few credits in secret after each performance.

=== A Shift Towards the Light ===
Despite her popularity at the club, with each passing day, the less than savory behavior from the club-goers began to wear on Syrena’s mindset, as did the overall treatment from Elethar. A deep resentfulness towards the fact that she had never known true freedom began to take over. Yet just as Syrena felt herself beginning to turn towards the darkness, she found something that would change the course of her life forever — A lightsaber, and a basic book of teachings. Whether these items were left behind on purpose, or Syrena just happened to stumble across them, that will forever remain a mystery.

For once, Syrena felt hope. And with that hope, she began to train herself in secrecy with the teachings in the book, beginning to carve out a way towards the light. One evening during what was to be her final shift and final night as a slave, Syrena witnessed another dancer at the club being mistreated.

Fueled by a strong sense of justice, she instinctively lashed out with her force-based abilities, channeling the light to shatter the chains that once bound her. Combining this with her overall knowledge in martial arts, Syrena was able to deliver a swift demise to Elethar Kheth, a necessary means to set herself and the other slaves free.

=== Path to Clan Odan-Urr ===
On what was to be her final day spent living on Coruscant, Syrena found herself being once again pursued by two of Elethar's former associates. Nearby, a cargo-hauler by the name of [[Frenek Mausma]] heard the struggle and jumped into action, using his blaster to ward off the attackers. Frenek offered safety to Syrena and cared for her for a short time, helping her heal.

Once she was fully recovered, he transported her to the planet of [[Kiast (Planet)|Kiast]], where Frenek knew she would be safe. She soon flourished during her stay in Kiast, attending various socialite events and continuing to practice her craft as a dancer amidst various celebrations, enjoying all the luxuries that her newfound freedom offered. Syrena was even able to educate herself in musical performance, where her pre-existing knowledge translated into the ability to sing and play the instrument of a seven-string hallikset.

Somewhere along the line, Syrena eventually found more information on what was known as [[Clan Odan-Urr]]. After learning more about them, she began to see another future for herself, one where she could help others. And thus, Syrena made the decision to join.

=== Apprenticeship and Introduction to House Hoth ===
Shortly after her arrival to Odan-Urr, she became a member of House Hoth. Syrena Valkar was also taken under the tutelage of Sivall Zoria, who served as her Master, and helped Syrena to expand her skills in Force healing, eloquence, and diplomacy. Syrena’s first notable moment came during the Vauzem Conflicts, where she performed on her seven‑stringed hallikset to calm the panicked Quermian populace, preventing widespread chaos and aiding in enabling safe evacuations.

Syrena went on to serve in multiple battles alongside her Clan, where she became recognized for her bold yet effective maneuvers and tenacity. Outside of combat, she helped broker a key agreement between the Wookiees and Ithorians in Kaal City, resulting in the creation of a greenhouse facility that laid the groundwork for the city’s future agricultural development.

Her contributions to Kaal City and her cooperative work with the city’s Governor at the time, Tisto Kingang, led to her appointment as a Battle Team Leader for the Knights of Allusis, marking the beginning of her leadership tenure within the Clan.

=== Knight-Commander of the Knights of Allusis ===
[[File:Syrena Knight Commander (1).jpg|thumb|Syrena sitting within her office at the Knights of Allusis base]]
After her appointment as the Knight-Commander for the Knights of Allusis, Syrena Valkar elected to align herself formally with the Jedi Order, seeking deeper understanding of their philosophy. Her studies centered on the teachings of Belth Allusis, whose legacy would serve as a personal inspiration and guiding principle during her leadership.

Syrena helped to revive the Knights of Allusis after an extended hiatus, personally leading outreach and training efforts to aide in the restoration of the Knights of Allusis. Following their successful reassembly, she established a new primary base of operations known as the ''Helm of Allusis'', a former Jedi temple based on Daleem. Syrena worked to fortify the temple into a secure underground militant facility, and was responsible for overseeing the construction process for this project.

Under her stewardship, the Knights successfully recovered several Jedi artifacts to be safeguarded within the Helm, strengthening their cultural and historical connection to Jedi heritage, and Belth Allusis himself.

Her leadership also extended to the Knight's secondary base on Solyiat, where she played a key role in reinforcing security measures and combating an invasion by pirates in cooperation with Edgar Drachen, Jon Silvon, and other Knights. Additionally, with assistance from Turel Sorenn, who led the refurbishment efforts, she helped to bring the CR90 Corvette known as the ''Pride of Owyhyee'' out of retirement and back into active service with the Knights of Allusis.

=== Governor of House Hoth ===
During her time as Governor of House Hoth, Syrena focused on expanding Kaal City<nowiki>'s growing Fashion District. Through new business partnerships and commercial investments, she helped attract trade to the city to encourage development in its surrounding districts. Her most notable achievement was establishing the ''Aurelia Circuit''</nowiki>, a prestigious fashion showcase that drew designers, merchants, and visitors from across the galaxy.

House Hoth was later faced with the challenge of rising unrest as civilians began demanding freedom from Vatali rule. During the same period, a mysterious Rakghoul plague spread through the city's outer districts, primarily affecting working class communities and many involved in the revolutionary movement. Working alongside House Hoth, Syrena helped coordinate relief efforts until the outbreak was successfully eradicated.

Following the crisis, Syrena grew weary of the bureaucracy and paperwork that came with being governor. Choosing to pursue the adventure she had originally sought within the Brotherhood, she abruptly resigned her position and departed on a galactic tour alongside a well known band.

== Personal Beliefs and Values ==

=== Virtuoso ===
A skilled performer, Syrena has spent many years honing her craft. She first started with the art of dance, preferring movements that are both balletic and acrobatic.

In more recent years, Syrena has dedicated her time to deeply studying the music of different cultures found within the galaxy, and taught herself how to play a seven-string hallikset. Syrena’s hallisket is pure white in color, and she has named the instrument ''Lightwave'' for the way its strings glow when played. She will oftentimes accompany these seven-string performances with melodic singing, to match the tone of the songs played.

=== Freedom and Fun ===
Having known what it is like to be without freedom, this is something that Syrena values above all else. She will go to great lengths to preserve her own freedom, as well as the freedom of those who she deems necessary of such protection, such as tribal communities or smaller populations. With freedom, Syrena will oftentimes seek out elements of fun when she has time to herself. Though she does not view partying as valuable per say, it is something she can't help but indulge in every now and then, due to her nature as a Zeltron, and due to the fact that she has spent the majority of her life entrapped.

=== The Force ===
When it comes to the force, Syrena mentally associates the force mentally in the same way that she thinks of music... That it can be felt in rhythms, can be woven or interpreted, that in can bring peace in the same way a calming melody can... Or utter chaos, like a rock ballad.

== Physical Description ==
[[File:VeliraSilkOutfit.jpg|left|thumb|546x546px|Velira's Physique ]]Despite her age, Velira physically appears only to be in her twenties. Her skin is smooth and porcelain-pale with a faint silvery undertone, flawless and almost luminous under light. Her heart shaped face is strikingly symmetrical, with high cheekbones and a narrow jawline that gives her a regal appearance. Thick, dark hair falls in loose curls, cascading over her shoulders with subtle maroon and violet undertones.

Her slightly upturned eyes are round to give her face a gentler appearance, despite the striking blood-red irises. They are framed by long, dark lashes and delicately arched brows, surrounded by shadows. Her lips are full and naturally dark, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

Her elegant figure is petite with soft, feminine curves, including a larger bust line. She has long, talon-like nails that come to naturally sharp points and are typically painted dark red in color.

Unlike others of her species, her nose remains symmetrical alongside the rest of her features, with a smooth bridge due to her intermixed heritage. Two slender facial tendrils—her Anzati proboscises— remain carefully hidden within her cheeks, invisible until she chooses to strike. When revealed, they are thin and semi-translucent compared to her already pale skin, giving them a silky, web-like appearance.
== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility:''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

From an early age, Velira displayed an acute sensitivity to the Force, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

Unknown to Velira at the time, there was a ruse for power among the other members of her family, hungry to take it for themselves. Her Mother had always kept a careful balance on their planet with distributing the prey as the sole ruler at the time, ensuring that no Anzat ever went without food. This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands. [[File:Nurse Velira 1.png|thumb|444x444px|Velira in her medic uniform ]]Following the death of her mother, Velira could no longer stand to be anywhere near her family, as her hatred grew along with the feeling of being trapped. She found her family’s way of life hollow and grotesque— predation stripped of its challenge, turned into indulgence without purpose. While the Morvanes feasted behind silk curtains and polished marble, Velira longed for the freedom of choosing her own path and living by her own strength. Finally, Velira forged a deal with her father— She could gain access to her share of the family wealth, and have 200 years of freedom, in exchange for then returning to the throne to serve her family as soon as that time runs out.
=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment: ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another... Or at least, what Velira perceived as love in the earlier stages of her life. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

There, in the darkness and silence of her entombment, she adapted. Unable to feed at will, she turned inward, using the Force to suppress her hunger, and extend the time she could go without sustenance for days at a time. These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.[[File:Untitled Artwork (3).PNG|thumb|476x476px|Velira's armor|left]]

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven: ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership. Rather than fleeing, Velira turned her focus to vengeance once more—this time against the entire coven.

Over the span of years, she methodically and covertly eliminated its members, each death disguised as misfortune, accident, or the work of rival clans. By the time her campaign of quiet destruction was complete, the coven had been reduced to scattered survivors. Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|301x301px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine: ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr: ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to Clan Odan-Urr, a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. Mihoshi Keibatsu, the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance: ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting at ''The Sinning Den to'' align her interests with those of the notorious Morgan Sorenn. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as a Doctor among them.

== Feeding Practices ==
While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified. Instead, Velira prefers to use the Anzati phrases of ''life'' ''essence or sea of memory.'' In comparison to others of her kind, Velira deems herself as taking a more "humane" approach when it comes to feeding. A few of these beliefs she chose to adopt after she became a medic.

==== Guiding Principles ====
There is one moral centered around feeding that Velira has vowed to herself to never break, for however many hundreds of years that she is alive for. She has vowed to herself to never feed upon the life essence from younglings, and would rather choose death over doing so. She views the minds of younglings as something precious and innocent, meant to be protected. As an Anzat, Velira has never fed on a youngling, but has hunted down other members of her species if she uncovered that they were found guilty of such a crime.

==== Quality Over Quantity ====
Due to years of exercising self control, while Velira is still prone to the traditional soup cravings as an Anzat, she is typically able to cope with those sensations without the need to impulsively feed. This allows her to be much more selective when it comes to her prey, as needed. Velira will typically opt to go after those with what she deems as stronger minds, if she is able to. Additionally, she feels that they have more of a fair chance of defending themselves, and so it reduces her guilt in doing so. The added benefit feeding on those with stronger minds or those who are stronger in the Force, is that the one meal can sustain Velira for much longer, as opposed to the equivalent of having quick snacks. If she is severely limited in her options, only then will she not act on this particular belief.

==== Acts of Mercy ====
Velira will not readily kill those that she feeds from, unless she uncovers that they are criminals, or under specific circumstances. Those specific circumstances sometimes arise from her patients that she oversees as a medic. If they are deemed beyond saving, or ask to be finally relieved of their suffering, only then will Velira feed from them until they pass away. She goes extra lengths to ensure that the procedure is quick and as painless as possible, certainly more painless than what is they may already have been experiencing.

==== Feeding Responsibly ====
In most circumstances, Velira go the extra length to aide her "meal" through the experience to the best of her abilities. Her proboscises are silky and precise in nature. Her knowledge as a medic and in different body systems allow her to mark specific areas of the brain to feed from, to limit the amount of harm caused. Additionally, she will typically only feed with one proboscis, while the other one is readily administering bacta fluid to the brain to help with replenishment and promote healing. She will do her best to take only what she needs, and not feed in excess. Even more so, if deemed necessary, Velira may oftentimes use the Force to alter the memories of those who she feeds on in a way so that they have no recollection of the experience, and can move forwards with their lives.

== Relationships: ==

=== Morgan B. Sorenn ===
Velira Morvane’s connection to [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] began with intent, hunger, and a calculated plan. Drawn initially by the intensity of Morgan’s life essence, what started as a calculated alignment of interests slowly became something else. Morgan proved to be one of the first, if not the only, people to truly accept Velira for what she is. In turn, Velira came to embrace Morgan fully: her chaos, her trauma, and the freedom that she embodies. Over time, the hunger that once defined Velira’s interest faded, replaced by genuine care.

For each difference between them, something unexpected took shape— a sense of balance neither of them was meant to find. For each contrast, they came to understand one another in ways few others could, and their connection deepened.

=== Sirra Werd'la ===
Velira first met [[Sirra Werd'la|Sirra]] within her stay in Clan Odan Urr, where the two worked together to investigate the whereabouts of Sirra's brother, Celevon. Though Sirra was mistrusting of Velira, the two's abilities complimented one another for the sake of investigating and reaching a successful conclusion. Eventually, Sirra and Velira by chance worked together yet again, on a second mission aiding to capture several targets. Velira regards Sirra with a sense of respect, specifically when it comes to her ability to control creatures.

=== Mihoshi Keibatsu ===
After spending four years within Clan Odan Urr concealing her true nature as an Anzat, it was finally uncovered by Mihoshi Keibatsu. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a place to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator, while outwardly continuing to work as a medic to conceal this. Shortly after Miho's ascension to Consul, Velira carried out an undercover mission to obtain a strain of the rakghoul virus after a recent outbreak in Kaal City for her, something known only to the two of them.

== Trivia: ==

* Velira's facial references are based on the likeness Megan Fox.
* She has the equivalent of a British accent, layered with a Romanian one. In actuality, one is from her home world of Anzat, combined with that of a Core World accent that she later picked up during her extended time spent there.
* The likeness of Velira's voice is based on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms1D7xvuF28 Jessica Brown Findlay]
* Velira’s droid, named Spyder, is loosely inspired by Thing from the Addams Family
* Velira learned how to play a B’omarr pipe organ, by feeding on the soup of the B’omarr monks of Tatooine, who were known for leaving their brains in jars once reaching enlightenment. How could she say no to free food?
* Velira is fond of making various anatomical sketches in her free time, that go along with her medical studies.

== Physical Description ==
[[File:VeliraSilkOutfit.jpg|left|thumb|546x546px|Velira's Physique ]]Despite her age, Velira physically appears only to be in her twenties. Her skin is smooth and porcelain-pale with a faint silvery undertone, flawless and almost luminous under light. Her heart shaped face is strikingly symmetrical, with high cheekbones and a narrow jawline that gives her a regal appearance. Thick, dark hair falls in loose curls, cascading over her shoulders with subtle maroon and violet undertones.

Her slightly upturned eyes are round to give her face a gentler appearance, despite the striking blood-red irises. They are framed by long, dark lashes and delicately arched brows, surrounded by shadows. Her lips are full and naturally dark, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

Her elegant figure is petite with soft, feminine curves, including a larger bust line. She has long, talon-like nails that come to naturally sharp points and are typically painted dark red in color.

Unlike others of her species, her nose remains symmetrical alongside the rest of her features, with a smooth bridge due to her intermixed heritage. Two slender facial tendrils—her Anzati proboscises— remain carefully hidden within her cheeks, invisible until she chooses to strike. When revealed, they are thin and semi-translucent compared to her already pale skin, giving them a silky, web-like appearance.

== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility:''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

From an early age, Velira displayed an acute sensitivity to the Force, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

Unknown to Velira at the time, there was a ruse for power among the other members of her family, hungry to take it for themselves. Her Mother had always kept a careful balance on their planet with distributing the prey as the sole ruler at the time, ensuring that no Anzat ever went without food. This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands.

Following the death of her mother, Velira could no longer stand to be anywhere near her family, as her hatred grew along with the feeling of being trapped. She found her family’s way of life hollow and grotesque— predation stripped of its challenge, turned into indulgence without purpose. While the Morvanes feasted behind silk curtains and polished marble, Velira longed for the freedom of choosing her own path and living by her own strength. Finally, Velira forged a deal with her father— She could gain access to her share of the family wealth, and have 200 years of freedom, in exchange for then returning to the throne to serve her family as soon as that time runs out.
=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment: ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

There, in the darkness and silence of her entombment, she adapted. Unable to feed at will, she turned inward, using the Force to suppress her hunger, and extend the time she could go without sustenance for days at a time. These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.[[File:Untitled Artwork (3).PNG|thumb|476x476px|Velira's armor|left]]

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven: ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership. Rather than fleeing, Velira turned her focus to vengeance once more—this time against the entire coven.

Over the span of years, she methodically and covertly eliminated its members, each death disguised as misfortune, accident, or the work of rival clans. By the time her campaign of quiet destruction was complete, the coven had been reduced to scattered survivors. Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|301x301px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine: ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr: ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to Clan Odan-Urr, a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. Mihoshi Keibatsu, the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance: ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting at ''The Sinning Den to'' align her interests with those of the notorious Morgan Sorenn. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as a Doctor among them.

== Feeding Practices ==
While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified.

If she is severely limited in her options, only then will she not act on this particular belief.

==== Acts of Mercy ====
Velira will not readily kill those that she feeds from, unless she uncovers that they are criminals, or under specific circumstances. Those specific circumstances sometimes arise from her patients that she oversees as a medic. If they are deemed beyond saving, or ask to be finally relieved of their suffering, only then will Velira feed from them until they pass away.

== Relationships: ==

=== Morgan B. Sorenn ===
Velira Morvane’s connection to [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] began with intent, hunger, and a calculated plan. Drawn initially by the intensity of Morgan’s life essence, what started as a calculated alignment of interests slowly became something else. Morgan proved to be one of the first, if not the only, people to truly accept Velira for what she is. In turn, Velira came to embrace Morgan fully: her chaos, her trauma, and the freedom that she embodies. Over time, the hunger that once defined Velira’s interest faded, replaced by genuine care.

For each difference between them, something unexpected took shape— a sense of balance neither of them was meant to find. For each contrast, they came to understand one another in ways few others could, and their connection deepened.

=== Sirra Werd'la ===
Velira first met [[Sirra Werd'la|Sirra]] within her stay in Clan Odan Urr, where the two worked together to investigate the whereabouts of Sirra's brother, Celevon. Though Sirra was mistrusting of Velira, the two's abilities complimented one another for the sake of investigating and reaching a successful conclusion. Eventually, Sirra and Velira by chance worked together yet again, on a second mission aiding to capture several targets. Velira regards Sirra with a sense of respect, specifically when it comes to her ability to control creatures.

=== Mihoshi Keibatsu ===
After spending four years within Clan Odan Urr concealing her true nature as an Anzat, it was finally uncovered by Mihoshi Keibatsu. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a place to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator, while outwardly continuing to work as a medic to conceal this. Shortly after Miho's ascension to Consul, Velira carried out an undercover mission to obtain a strain of the rakghoul virus after a recent outbreak in Kaal City for her, something known only to the two of them.

Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

There, in the darkness and silence of her entombment, she adapted. Unable to feed at will, she turned inward, using the Force to suppress her hunger, and extend the time she could go without sustenance for days at a time. These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.[[File:Untitled Artwork (3).PNG|thumb|476x476px|Velira's armor|left]]

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven: ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership. Rather than fleeing, Velira turned her focus to vengeance once more—this time against the entire coven.

Over the span of years, she methodically and covertly eliminated its members, each death disguised as misfortune, accident, or the work of rival clans. By the time her campaign of quiet destruction was complete, the coven had been reduced to scattered survivors. Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|301x301px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine: ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr: ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to Clan Odan-Urr, a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. Mihoshi Keibatsu, the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance: ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting at ''The Sinning Den to'' align her interests with those of the notorious Morgan Sorenn. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as a Doctor among them.

== Feeding Practices ==
While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified. Instead, Velira prefers to use the Anzati phrases of ''life'' ''essence or sea of memory.'' In comparison to others of her kind, Velira deems herself as taking a more "humane" approach when it comes to feeding. A few of these beliefs she chose to adopt after she became a medic.

==== Guiding Principles ====
There is one moral centered around feeding that Velira has vowed to herself to never break, for however many hundreds of years that she is alive for. She has vowed to herself to never feed upon the life essence from younglings, and would rather choose death over doing so. She views the minds of younglings as something precious and innocent, meant to be protected. As an Anzat, Velira has never fed on a youngling, but has hunted down other members of her species if she uncovered that they were found guilty of such a crime.

==== Quality Over Quantity ====
Due to years of exercising self control, while Velira is still prone to the traditional soup cravings as an Anzat, she is typically able to cope with those sensations without the need to impulsively feed. This allows her to be much more selective when it comes to her prey, as needed. Velira will typically opt to go after those with what she deems as stronger minds, if she is able to. Additionally, she feels that they have more of a fair chance of defending themselves, and so it reduces her guilt in doing so. The added benefit feeding on those with stronger minds or those who are stronger in the Force, is that the one meal can sustain Velira for much longer, as opposed to the equivalent of having quick snacks. If she is severely limited in her options, only then will she not act on this particular belief.

==== Acts of Mercy ====
Velira will not readily kill those that she feeds from, unless she uncovers that they are criminals, or under specific circumstances. Those specific circumstances sometimes arise from her patients that she oversees as a medic. If they are deemed beyond saving, or ask to be finally relieved of their suffering, only then will Velira feed from them until they pass away. She goes extra lengths to ensure that the procedure is quick and as painless as possible, certainly more painless than what is they may already have been experiencing.

==== Feeding Responsibly ====
In most circumstances, Velira go the extra length to aide her "meal" through the experience to the best of her abilities. Her proboscises are silky and precise in nature. Her knowledge as a medic and in different body systems allow her to mark specific areas of the brain to feed from, to limit the amount of harm caused. Additionally, she will typically only feed with one proboscis, while the other one is readily administering bacta fluid to the brain to help with replenishment and promote healing. She will do her best to take only what she needs, and not feed in excess. Even more so, if deemed necessary, Velira may oftentimes use the Force to alter the memories of those who she feeds on in a way so that they have no recollection of the experience, and can move forwards with their lives.

== Relationships: ==

=== Morgan B. Sorenn ===
Velira Morvane’s connection to [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] began with intent, hunger, and a calculated plan. Drawn initially by the intensity of Morgan’s life essence, what started as a calculated alignment of interests slowly became something else. Morgan proved to be one of the first, if not the only, people to truly accept Velira for what she is. In turn, Velira came to embrace Morgan fully: her chaos, her trauma, and the freedom that she embodies. Over time, the hunger that once defined Velira’s interest faded, replaced by genuine care.

For each difference between them, something unexpected took shape— a sense of balance neither of them was meant to find. For each contrast, they came to understand one another in ways few others could, and their connection deepened.

=== Sirra Werd'la ===
Velira first met [[Sirra Werd'la|Sirra]] within her stay in Clan Odan Urr, where the two worked together to investigate the whereabouts of Sirra's brother, Celevon. Though Sirra was mistrusting of Velira, the two's abilities complimented one another for the sake of investigating and reaching a successful conclusion. Eventually, Sirra and Velira by chance worked together yet again, on a second mission aiding to capture several targets. Velira regards Sirra with a sense of respect, specifically when it comes to her ability to control creatures.

=== Mihoshi Keibatsu ===
After spending four years within Clan Odan Urr concealing her true nature as an Anzat, it was finally uncovered by Mihoshi Keibatsu. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a place to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator, while outwardly continuing to work as a medic to conceal this. Shortly after Miho's ascension to Consul, Velira carried out an undercover mission to obtain a strain of the rakghoul virus after a recent outbreak in Kaal City for her, something known only to the two of them.

== Trivia: ==

* Velira's facial references are based on the likeness Megan Fox.
* She has the equivalent of a British accent, layered with a Romanian one. In actuality, one is from her home world of Anzat, combined with that of a Core World accent that she later picked up during her extended time spent there.
* The likeness of Velira's voice is based on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms1D7xvuF28 Jessica Brown Findlay]
* Velira’s droid, named Spyder, is loosely inspired by Thing from the Addams Family
* Velira learned how to play a B’omarr pipe organ, by feeding on the soup of the B’omarr monks of Tatooine, who were known for leaving their brains in jars once reaching enlightenment. How could she say no to free food?
* Velira is fond of making various anatomical sketches in her free time, that go along with her medical studies.

== Physical Description ==
Despite her age, Velira physically appears only to be in her twenties. Her skin is smooth and porcelain-pale with a faint silvery undertone, flawless and almost luminous under light. Her heart shaped face is strikingly symmetrical, with high cheekbones and a narrow jawline that gives her a regal appearance. Thick, dark hair falls in loose curls, cascading over her shoulders with subtle maroon and violet undertones.

[[File:VeliraSilkOutfit.jpg|left|thumb|546x546px|Velira's Physique ]]

Her slightly upturned eyes are round to give her face a gentler appearance, despite the striking blood-red irises. They are framed by long, dark lashes and delicately arched brows, surrounded by shadows. Her lips are full and naturally dark, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

Her elegant figure is petite with soft, feminine curves, including a larger bust line. She has long, talon-like nails that come to naturally sharp points and are typically painted dark red in color.

Unlike others of her species, her nose remains symmetrical alongside the rest of her features, with a smooth bridge due to her intermixed heritage. Two slender facial tendrils—her Anzati proboscises— remain carefully hidden within her cheeks, invisible until she chooses to strike. When revealed, they are thin and semi-translucent compared to her already pale skin, giving them a silky, web-like appearance.

== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility:''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

From an early age, Velira displayed an acute sensitivity to the Force, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

Unknown to Velira at the time, there was a ruse for power among the other members of her family, hungry to take it for themselves. Her Mother had always kept a careful balance on their planet with distributing the prey as the sole ruler at the time, ensuring that no Anzat ever went without food. This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands.

Following the death of her mother, Velira could no longer stand to be anywhere near her family, as her hatred grew along with the feeling of being trapped. She found her family’s way of life hollow and grotesque— predation stripped of its challenge, turned into indulgence without purpose. While the Morvanes feasted behind silk curtains and polished marble, Velira longed for the freedom of choosing her own path and living by her own strength. Finally, Velira forged a deal with her father— She could gain access to her share of the family wealth, and have 200 years of freedom, in exchange for then returning to the throne to serve her family as soon as that time runs out.

=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment: ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another. However, it was not to last.

Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray.

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr: ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to Clan Odan-Urr, a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

[[File:VeliraSilkOutfit.jpg|left|thumb|546x546px|Velira's Physique ]]

== Physical Description ==
Despite her age, Velira physically appears only to be in her twenties. Her skin is smooth and porcelain-pale with a faint silvery undertone, flawless and almost luminous under light. Her heart shaped face is strikingly symmetrical, with high cheekbones and a narrow jawline that gives her a regal appearance. Thick, dark hair falls in loose curls, cascading over her shoulders with subtle maroon and violet undertones.

Her slightly upturned eyes are round to give her face a gentler appearance, despite the striking blood-red irises. They are framed by long, dark lashes and delicately arched brows, surrounded by shadows. Her lips are full and naturally dark, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

Her elegant figure is petite with soft, feminine curves, including a larger bust line. She has long, talon-like nails that come to naturally sharp points and are typically painted dark red in color.

Unlike others of her species, her nose remains symmetrical alongside the rest of her features, with a smooth bridge due to her intermixed heritage. Two slender facial tendrils—her Anzati proboscises— remain carefully hidden within her cheeks, invisible until she chooses to strike. When revealed, they are thin and semi-translucent compared to her already pale skin, giving them a silky, web-like appearance.

== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility:''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

From an early age, Velira displayed an acute sensitivity to the Force, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

Unknown to Velira at the time, there was a ruse for power among the other members of her family, hungry to take it for themselves. Her Mother had always kept a careful balance on their planet with distributing the prey as the sole ruler at the time, ensuring that no Anzat ever went without food. This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands.

Following the death of her mother, Velira could no longer stand to be anywhere near her family, as her hatred grew along with the feeling of being trapped. She found her family’s way of life hollow and grotesque— predation stripped of its challenge, turned into indulgence without purpose. While the Morvanes feasted behind silk curtains and polished marble, Velira longed for the freedom of choosing her own path and living by her own strength. Finally, Velira forged a deal with her father— She could gain access to her share of the family wealth, and have 200 years of freedom, in exchange for then returning to the throne to serve her family as soon as that time runs out.

=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment: ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

There, in the darkness and silence of her entombment, she adapted. Unable to feed at will, she turned inward, using the Force to suppress her hunger, and extend the time she could go without sustenance for days at a time. These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven: ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership. Rather than fleeing, Velira turned her focus to vengeance once more—this time against the entire coven.

Over the span of years, she methodically and covertly eliminated its members, each death disguised as misfortune, accident, or the work of rival clans. By the time her campaign of quiet destruction was complete, the coven had been reduced to scattered survivors. Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|451x451px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed|left]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine: ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr: ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to Clan Odan-Urr, a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. Mihoshi Keibatsu, the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance: ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting at ''The Sinning Den to'' align her interests with those of the notorious Morgan Sorenn. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as a Doctor among them.

== Feeding Practices ==
While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified. Instead, Velira prefers to use the Anzati phrases of ''life'' ''essence or sea of memory.'' In comparison to others of her kind, Velira deems herself as taking a more "humane" approach when it comes to feeding. A few of these beliefs she chose to adopt after she became a medic.

==== Guiding Principles ====
There is one moral centered around feeding that Velira has vowed to herself to never break, for however many hundreds of years that she is alive for. She has vowed to herself to never feed upon the life essence from younglings, and would rather choose death over doing so. She views the minds of younglings as something precious and innocent, meant to be protected. As an Anzat, Velira has never fed on a youngling, but has hunted down other members of her species if she uncovered that they were found guilty of such a crime.

==== Quality Over Quantity ====
Due to years of exercising self control, while Velira is still prone to the traditional soup cravings as an Anzat, she is typically able to cope with those sensations without the need to impulsively feed. This allows her to be much more selective when it comes to her prey, as needed. Velira will typically opt to go after those with what she deems as stronger minds, if she is able to. Additionally, she feels that they have more of a fair chance of defending themselves, and so it reduces her guilt in doing so. The added benefit feeding on those with stronger minds or those who are stronger in the Force, is that the one meal can sustain Velira for much longer, as opposed to the equivalent of having quick snacks. If she is severely limited in her options, only then will she not act on this particular belief.

==== Acts of Mercy ====
Velira will not readily kill those that she feeds from, unless she uncovers that they are criminals, or under specific circumstances. Those specific circumstances sometimes arise from her patients that she oversees as a medic. If they are deemed beyond saving, or ask to be finally relieved of their suffering, only then will Velira feed from them until they pass away. She goes extra lengths to ensure that the procedure is quick and as painless as possible, certainly more painless than what is they may already have been experiencing.

==== Feeding Responsibly ====
In most circumstances, Velira go the extra length to aide her "meal" through the experience to the best of her abilities. Her proboscises are silky and precise in nature. Her knowledge as a medic and in different body systems allow her to mark specific areas of the brain to feed from, to limit the amount of harm caused. Additionally, she will typically only feed with one proboscis, while the other one is readily administering bacta fluid to the brain to help with replenishment and promote healing. She will do her best to take only what she needs, and not feed in excess. Even more so, if deemed necessary, Velira may oftentimes use the Force to alter the memories of those who she feeds on in a way so that they have no recollection of the experience, and can move forwards with their lives.

== Relationships: ==

=== Morgan B. Sorenn ===
Velira Morvane’s connection to [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] began with intent, hunger, and a calculated plan. Drawn initially by the intensity of Morgan’s life essence, what started as a calculated alignment of interests slowly became something else. Morgan proved to be one of the first, if not the only, people to truly accept Velira for what she is. In turn, Velira came to embrace Morgan fully: her chaos, her trauma, and the freedom that she embodies. Over time, the hunger that once defined Velira’s interest faded, replaced by genuine care.

For each difference between them, something unexpected took shape— a sense of balance neither of them was meant to find. For each contrast, they came to understand one another in ways few others could, and their connection deepened.

=== Sirra Werd'la ===
Velira first met [[Sirra Werd'la|Sirra]] within her stay in Clan Odan Urr, where the two worked together to investigate the whereabouts of Sirra's brother, Celevon. Though Sirra was mistrusting of Velira, the two's abilities complimented one another for the sake of investigating and reaching a successful conclusion. Eventually, Sirra and Velira by chance worked together yet again, on a second mission aiding to capture several targets. Velira regards Sirra with a sense of respect, specifically when it comes to her ability to control creatures.

=== Mihoshi Keibatsu ===
After spending four years within Clan Odan Urr concealing her true nature as an Anzat, it was finally uncovered by Mihoshi Keibatsu. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a place to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator, while outwardly continuing to work as a medic to conceal this. Shortly after Miho's ascension to Consul, Velira carried out an undercover mission to obtain a strain of the rakghoul virus after a recent outbreak in Kaal City for her, something known only to the two of them.

== Trivia: ==

* Velira's facial references are based on the likeness Megan Fox.
* She has the equivalent of a British accent, layered with a Romanian one. In actuality, one is from her home world of Anzat, combined with that of a Core World accent that she later picked up during her extended time spent there.
* The likeness of Velira's voice is based on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms1D7xvuF28 Jessica Brown Findlay]
* Velira’s droid, named Spyder, is loosely inspired by Thing from the Addams Family
* Velira learned how to play a B’omarr pipe organ, by feeding on the soup of the B’omarr monks of Tatooine, who were known for leaving their brains in jars once reaching enlightenment. How could she say no to free food?
* Velira is fond of making various anatomical sketches in her free time, that go along with her medical studies.

== Physical Description ==
Despite her age, Velira physically appears only to be in her twenties. Her skin is smooth and porcelain-pale with a faint silvery undertone, flawless and almost luminous under light. Her heart shaped face is strikingly symmetrical, with high cheekbones and a narrow jawline that gives her a regal appearance. Thick, dark hair falls in loose curls, cascading over her shoulders with subtle maroon and violet undertones.

Her slightly upturned eyes are round to give her face a gentler appearance, despite the striking blood-red irises. They are framed by long, dark lashes and delicately arched brows, surrounded by shadows. Her lips are full and naturally dark, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

Her elegant figure is petite with soft, feminine curves, including a larger bust line. She has long, talon-like nails that come to naturally sharp points and are typically painted dark red in color.

Unlike others of her species, her nose remains symmetrical alongside the rest of her features, with a smooth bridge due to her intermixed heritage. Two slender facial tendrils—her Anzati proboscises— remain carefully hidden within her cheeks, invisible until she chooses to strike. When revealed, they are thin and semi-translucent compared to her already pale skin, giving them a silky, web-like appearance.
== Velira's Timeline ==

=== '''''Childhood- 50 Years of Ag''e, Anzati Nobility:''' ===
Velira Morvane was born into privilege and power on her Anzati homeworld within [[Morvane Palace]], descending from a line of nobles and royalty whose wealth allowed them to live detached from the harsh realities of their species predatory nature. While most Anzati prowled the galaxy for their sustenance, the Morvane family had meals delivered—captives taken from off world or criminals condemned to death, discreetly transferred to their palace and offered up as living feasts. This arrangement allowed them to maintain their noble veneer, dining in elegance while feeding their appetites without ever leaving home.

From an early age, Velira displayed an acute sensitivity to the Force, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Velira’s mother, an Empress among their kind, would spend long hours practicing the Sith arcane traditions of the Nightsisters from high in the palace towers. It was there that her mother mentored her, teaching her how to wield a few of her abilities. This was the only bond that Velira ever forged to her family. Her parents never held any love for each other, their very marriage one that was arranged. Velira's father always pushed for her to learn a careful set of manners and forbade her from seeing the world beyond their palace walls, preparing her for an enteral life of servitude to the Morvane family name. Meanwhile, her siblings were highly competitive with one another, eager to prove themselves to their father in hopes to gain his favor, a notion that Velira never shared.

Unknown to Velira at the time, there was a ruse for power among the other members of her family, hungry to take it for themselves. Her Mother had always kept a careful balance on their planet with distributing the prey as the sole ruler at the time, ensuring that no Anzat ever went without food. This notion was one the other nobles did not agree with, for they wanted more food for themselves rather than share and have less, even at the expense of losing other Anzati to turning feral. One evening, Velira's uncle captured her mother on behalf of orders from her father, casting her deep into a prison cell within the palace. Her father, Viktor, ascended to the throne in her stead, while her mother was tortured and left to starve. When Velira's mother finally did inevitably became a feral Anzat, she was torn to pieces by the other nobles and died at their hands.

Following the death of her mother, Velira could no longer stand to be anywhere near her family, as her hatred grew along with the feeling of being trapped. She found her family’s way of life hollow and grotesque— predation stripped of its challenge, turned into indulgence without purpose. While the Morvanes feasted behind silk curtains and polished marble, Velira longed for the freedom of choosing her own path and living by her own strength. Finally, Velira forged a deal with her father— She could gain access to her share of the family wealth, and have 200 years of freedom, in exchange for then returning to the throne to serve her family as soon as that time runs out.
[[File:Untitled Artwork (3).PNG|thumb|518x518px|Velira's armor]]

=== ''50-110 Years of Age'' ===
For decades, Velira hunted freely across the galaxy. She embraced the primal aspects of her species, moving like a shadow through underworld dens and battlefield wreckage, feeding on warriors and criminals whose minds burned with intensity.

=== ''110-200 Years of Age'', Betrayal and Imprisonment: ===
Eventually, she met a handsome Evereni male of noble blood by the name of Kaleo Davray, and the two fell in love with one another. However, it was not to last. From the very beginning, Velira had carefully kept her true nature and what she really was hidden from her partner, and from his family of nobles. Despite being an Anzat, during this time, she ''tried'' to do better. Her feedings became much more infrequent, and when she did need to feed, it was from criminals.

When her secret was finally discovered, she was labeled as a monster and betrayed by her partner. Velira was captured by the family’s personal knights and cast into a deep cavern prison, far from civilization.

There, in the darkness and silence of her entombment, she adapted. Unable to feed at will, she turned inward, using the Force to suppress her hunger, and extend the time she could go without sustenance for days at a time. These meditative techniques, born from desperation, gave her just enough control over her Anzati nature. She learned patience as she waited for lost souls to stumble into her domain, surviving on rare feedings for decades.

When Velira finally escaped nearly one hundred years later from her imprisonment, she fled the planet, after discovering that Kaleo Davray and his family had long passed away.

=== ''200-245 Years of Age'', Nightsister Coven: ===
Following her escape from decades of imprisonment, Velira’s path led her to track down a living descendant of her former lover, Kaleo Davray. Consumed by a desire for vengeance, she intended to kill the young woman—only to discover she was living under the protection of a Nightsister Coven on a remote world. Using calculated deception, Velira infiltrated the coven, presenting herself as a wandering Force adept seeking refuge.

Her integration was seamless; she adapted to their rituals and cloaked her true identity beneath feigned loyalty. Over time, however, Velira forged an unexpected bond with the girl she had come to destroy. This fragile connection was shattered when the girl betrayed her trust, revealing Velira’s nature to the coven’s leadership. Rather than fleeing, Velira turned her focus to vengeance once more—this time against the entire coven.

Over the span of years, she methodically and covertly eliminated its members, each death disguised as misfortune, accident, or the work of rival clans. By the time her campaign of quiet destruction was complete, the coven had been reduced to scattered survivors. Velira departed the planet with her vendetta fulfilled, leaving the girl behind.[[File:Veliraredupdate2.png|thumb|533x533px|Velira Morvane, preparing to feed|left]]

=== ''245-300 Years of Age'', Secrecy and Pursuit of Medicine: ===
By the age of two hundred and forty five, Velira had mastered deception as an art. She cloaked her Anzati nature behind elaborate personas, slipping seamlessly into societies that would otherwise shun her. Through the Force, she delved into the minds of others, ensuring her secrets remained buried. Her preferred targets were influential individuals—politicians, gang leaders, scholars—whose memories she would sip as delicacies before moving on.

But over time, the thrill of endless deception dulled. Velira immersed herself in the study of medicine, adopting the persona of a wandering medic. It was the perfect cover: trusted by the weak and dying, welcomed into societies where others would face suspicion. Though her role began as a disguise, Velira found herself drawn to the act of healing itself. She fed sparingly and, when possible, only from those already at death’s door, convincing herself it was a mercy.

During this time, Velira uncovered that her brother Levoro and wife Sevyrna Morvane, had also fled their homeworld of Anzat to forge a new life for himself along other a few other Anzati. In the wastes of Tatooine near a small mining outpost, they forged a home for themselves hidden within a series of underground crypts. Velira visited, where she befriended another Anzat named Miren and her husband Silas Kal'Vorro. Silas was different among their kind, for he tried to live honorably and had uncovered a more humane way to feed, without killing the victim. Silas taught this particular skill and methodology behind it to Velira. When both Silas and Miren had a daughter together named Elyna, Velira remained as a close family friend and cared for the girl as though her own.

But it was not to last. As the years passed, and Velira was off world in pursuit of her own endeavors, the group of Anzati within that area of Tatooine were hunted to near extinction by local officers, until only Miren, Silas, and Elyna remained. Miren, after countlessly ignoring her own needs to ensure that her family remained fed, eventually turned feral. When Silas went to pick up a blaster to kill her and end her suffering, he was unable to finish the deed, and called upon Velira for help. Velira finished the act, killing one of the rare few she considered her friend with a quick snap to the neck. She ensured that both Silas and Elyna remained safe and hidden, before leaving the planet yet again.

=== ''320-324 Years of Age'' ===

==== Concealment Within Odan-Urr: ====
[[File:VeliraAndMorganMeeting.png|thumb|Velira and Morgan Sorenn's first meeting. Art by Vyr.]]
At 320 years old, Velira’s path shifted again. Her attention was drawn to Clan Odan-Urr, a community of Force-sensitive individuals known for their strength, discipline, and commitment to safeguarding knowledge. For a predator like Velira, such powerful minds—bright with the Force and rich in experience—were an irresistible temptation. She saw in them the promise of unparalleled meals, each one offering insight and vitality far beyond what ordinary prey could provide.

Yet, upon approaching the Clan, something in her shifted. The discipline, camaraderie, and purpose she observed in them contrasted sharply with her centuries of predation and deception. Instead of stalking them as prey, Velira adopted her medic persona and sought to assimilate discreetly, offering healing and support while concealing her true nature for the next four years.

Her ruse could not last forever. Mihoshi Keibatsu, the Clan’s Proconsul and a skilled telepath, uncovered the truth of what she was. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a choice: to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator. She accepted, outwardly maintaining her identity as a medic working in a Jedi healing facility, while serving secretly in this new role.

==== Syndicate Alliance: ====
Velira's need for adequate sustenance to quench her natural Anzati hungers, something that she was unable to easily attain within Odan-Urr, led her to a meeting at ''The Sinning Den to'' align her interests with those of the notorious Morgan Sorenn. Velira was eventually offered a position among Morgan and her crew, serving as a Doctor among them.

== Feeding Practices ==
While she will refer to her food source as the soup occasionally, she views this specific term along the lines of being undignified. Instead, Velira prefers to use the Anzati phrases of ''life'' ''essence or sea of memory.'' In comparison to others of her kind, Velira deems herself as taking a more "humane" approach when it comes to feeding. A few of these beliefs she chose to adopt after she became a medic.

==== Guiding Principles ====
There is one moral centered around feeding that Velira has vowed to herself to never break, for however many hundreds of years that she is alive for. She has vowed to herself to never feed upon the life essence from younglings, and would rather choose death over doing so. She views the minds of younglings as something precious and innocent, meant to be protected. As an Anzat, Velira has never fed on a youngling, but has hunted down other members of her species if she uncovered that they were found guilty of such a crime.

==== Quality Over Quantity ====
Due to years of exercising self control, while Velira is still prone to the traditional soup cravings as an Anzat, she is typically able to cope with those sensations without the need to impulsively feed. This allows her to be much more selective when it comes to her prey, as needed. Velira will typically opt to go after those with what she deems as stronger minds, if she is able to. Additionally, she feels that they have more of a fair chance of defending themselves, and so it reduces her guilt in doing so. The added benefit feeding on those with stronger minds or those who are stronger in the Force, is that the one meal can sustain Velira for much longer, as opposed to the equivalent of having quick snacks. If she is severely limited in her options, only then will she not act on this particular belief.

==== Acts of Mercy ====
Velira will not readily kill those that she feeds from, unless she uncovers that they are criminals, or under specific circumstances. Those specific circumstances sometimes arise from her patients that she oversees as a medic. If they are deemed beyond saving, or ask to be finally relieved of their suffering, only then will Velira feed from them until they pass away. She goes extra lengths to ensure that the procedure is quick and as painless as possible, certainly more painless than what is they may already have been experiencing.

==== Feeding Responsibly ====
In most circumstances, Velira go the extra length to aide her "meal" through the experience to the best of her abilities. Her proboscises are silky and precise in nature. Her knowledge as a medic and in different body systems allow her to mark specific areas of the brain to feed from, to limit the amount of harm caused. Additionally, she will typically only feed with one proboscis, while the other one is readily administering bacta fluid to the brain to help with replenishment and promote healing. She will do her best to take only what she needs, and not feed in excess. Even more so, if deemed necessary, Velira may oftentimes use the Force to alter the memories of those who she feeds on in a way so that they have no recollection of the experience, and can move forwards with their lives.

== Relationships: ==

=== Morgan B. Sorenn ===
Velira Morvane’s connection to [[Morgan B. Sorenn|Morgan Sorenn]] began with intent, hunger, and a calculated plan. Drawn initially by the intensity of Morgan’s life essence, what started as a calculated alignment of interests slowly became something else. Morgan proved to be one of the first, if not the only, people to truly accept Velira for what she is. In turn, Velira came to embrace Morgan fully: her chaos, her trauma, and the freedom that she embodies. Over time, the hunger that once defined Velira’s interest faded, replaced by genuine care.

For each difference between them, something unexpected took shape— a sense of balance neither of them was meant to find. For each contrast, they came to understand one another in ways few others could, and their connection deepened.

=== Sirra Werd'la ===
Velira first met [[Sirra Werd'la|Sirra]] within her stay in Clan Odan Urr, where the two worked together to investigate the whereabouts of Sirra's brother, Celevon. Though Sirra was mistrusting of Velira, the two's abilities complimented one another for the sake of investigating and reaching a successful conclusion. Eventually, Sirra and Velira by chance worked together yet again, on a second mission aiding to capture several targets. Velira regards Sirra with a sense of respect, specifically when it comes to her ability to control creatures.

=== Mihoshi Keibatsu ===
After spending four years within Clan Odan Urr concealing her true nature as an Anzat, it was finally uncovered by Mihoshi Keibatsu. Rather than exile her, Miho offered Velira a place to harness her talents for the Clan as a spy and infiltrator, while outwardly continuing to work as a medic to conceal this. Shortly after Miho's ascension to Consul, Velira carried out an undercover mission to obtain a strain of the rakghoul virus after a recent outbreak in Kaal City for her, something known only to the two of them.

== Trivia: ==

* Velira's facial references are based on the likeness Megan Fox.
* She has the equivalent of a British accent, layered with a Romanian one. In actuality, one is from her home world of Anzat, combined with that of a Core World accent that she later picked up during her extended time spent there.
* The likeness of Velira's voice is based on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms1D7xvuF28 Jessica Brown Findlay]
* Velira’s droid, named Spyder, is loosely inspired by Thing from the Addams Family
* Velira learned how to play a B’omarr pipe organ, by feeding on the soup of the B’omarr monks of Tatooine, who were known for leaving their brains in jars once reaching enlightenment. How could she say no to free food?
* Velira is fond of making various anatomical sketches in her free time, that go along with her medical studies.

Velira Morvane: /* Guardian Beasts of Vexalis */

{{Eras|2=reb|3=new|4=njo|5=djb}}
{{City|image=[[File:VexalisMain.png|340px]]|name=Vexalis City|constructed=|destroyed=|builder=Emporer Vexalis Morvane|planet=Anzat|continent=|location=|climate=Foggy, Cold|interest=|population=Anzati|era=|affiliation=}}

== Founding of Vexalis City ==
Vexalis City was established in the shadow of the [https://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/Morvane_Palace Morvane Palace], rising as both a necessity and a symbol of Morvane dominion. What began as a cluster of supporting structures— servant's quarters, airborne supply depots, and trade outposts, slowly expanded into a sprawling urban center of influence, wealth, and political gravity that drew Anzati from across the region.

The city’s foundation was not born of civic ambition, but of proximity to power. As the Palace became a seat of authority, intrigue, and dark traditions, Vexalis grew around it— shaped by those seeking favor, survival, or opportunity while under Morvane rule. Its patrons, ever indulgent, cultivated a thriving culture of the arts and entertainment, deliberately designed to attract offworld visitors... both as spectacle and as prey.

To sustain its growing population, Vexalis established numerous “soup” banks throughout the city, offering a steady source of controlled nourishment to the civilians. This system was maintained under strict order, and drew Anzati from across the galaxy, transforming Vexalis into a gathering place for their kind— one bound by growth, hunger, and hierarchy.

== Laws of Vexalis City ==

=== Entry and Protection ===
[[File:Vexalistowerssmall.png|thumb|Red skies of Vexalis City|486x486px]]
''Any individual entering Vexalis City on official business must first obtain a '''Seal of Protection''' from the Vexalis Orbital Checkpoint prior to entry. Individuals bearing an active Seal of Protection are strictly forbidden from being hunted, harmed, or captured by any Anzati citizen for the duration of the seal’s validity. The Seal remains binding until its designated expiration, at which point it will fade without trace on the induvidual. Upon expiration, all protections are immediately revoked''.

=== Right of the Hunt ===
''Any individual within city limits who carries life essence (“soup”) and does not possess a valid Seal of Protection, is considered lawful prey. Such individuals may be hunted at the discretion of any Anzati citizen. This practice is upheld under the long standing principle of survival of the fittest, which governs the natural order of Vexalis.''

=== Sustenance and Soup Banks ===
''Life essence may be lawfully obtained through designated '''Soup Bank''' outposts, either by payment of credits or through authorized warrants. All Anzati are entitled to one standard ration every three days, regardless of social or financial standing, contingent upon availability. Preferential access may be granted to members of the nobility or individuals of elevated rank, at the discretion of governing authorities.''

=== Feral Anzati Protocol ===
''All Anzati who have turned feral are to be terminated on sight, without exception, regardless of prior relationships or familial bonds. Individuals suspected of nearing a feral state must be reported and surrendered to city officials for evaluation and processing. Harboring, concealing, or aiding a feral Anzati is a punishable offense and will be met with severe consequences.''

=== Containment Zones ===
''Any district experiencing repeated feral activity must be reported to city authorities. Such areas will be designated as '''Containment Zones''', wherein feral populations will be subject to extermination or forced relocation as deemed necessary.''

=== Authority and Sovereignty ===
''The rule of Vexalis is absolute. The word of the Morvane nobility carries the full weight of law, and the authority of the monarchy is unquestioned. City officials and enforcement bodies act as direct extensions of the crown. Any individual suspected of treason, conspiracy, or organizing resistance against the ruling authority will be subject to the harshest penalties. Nobility supersedes all other ranks, and their command is final.''

== Locations ==
=== Vexalis Orbital Checkpoint ===
[[File:Vexalis Space Station.png|left|thumb|232x232px|Vexalis Orbital Checkpoint]]All offworld traffic bound for Vexalis City are required to pass through the '''Vexalis Orbital Checkpoint''', a heavily regulated spaceport station positioned in high orbit above the city. Serving as both customs authority and as an arcane gatekeeper, the station ensures that all non-Anzati entrants are processed, marked, and made known to the population below. The station itself contains numerous docking bays for incoming vessels, alongside secured hangars reserved for private transports operated by Morvane nobles. Those seeking safe passage— most commonly traders, livestock transporters delivering living cattle, and contracted exterminators tasked with culling feral Anzati— are required to undergo inspection upon arrival. Clearance is not granted through documentation alone, but through ritual.

==== Seals of Protection ====
At the heart of the station’s function are the '''Seals of Protection''', administered by Anzati practitioners versed in Nightsister magick. These seals take the form of intricate, glowing red runes inscribed along the arms of visitors. Each is uniquely attuned, pulsing faintly with magickal energy that signals to all Anzati that the marked individual is not to be hunted. Each seal is bound to a specified duration, determined at the time of inscription. Once this time expires, the rune fades entirely without trace. Upon its disappearance, the individual immediately loses all protection and is considered fair game to any Anzati within Vexalis, regardless of status or prior affiliation.
----
=== Vexalis City Walls ===
[[File:VexalisCityWalls.jpeg|thumb|250x250px|City Walls & Morvane Barracks]]Vexalis City is encircled by towering, obsidian black fortification walls reinforced with both advanced plating and ancient alchemical treatments. These walls serve as the first line of defense against external threats, including rogue Anzati factions and offworld incursions. Watchtowers line the perimeter at regular intervals, each staffed by Anzati officers highly trained in both martial combat and sensory detection of life essence. Encasing the city from above is a powerful '''orbital shield array''', projected from satellites linked to the Vexalis Orbital Checkpoint. This shield is capable of repelling unauthorized aerial entry, bombardment, and large scale assault, ensuring that all ingress is funneled through controlled channels.

==== The Morvane Barracks ====
Situated along the inner perimeter of the city walls, the '''Morvane Barracks''' function as the central military stronghold of Vexalis. This fortified complex houses the city’s standing forces—elite Anzati officers tasked with maintaining order, enforcing city law, and responding to internal threats such as feral outbreaks or potential organized raids on Soup Bank reserves. The barracks also serve as a rapid deployment hub, allowing forces to mobilize swiftly to any district within the city or to reinforce the outer walls when necessary. Officers stationed here are considered extensions of Morvane authority, acting with full legal and military jurisdiction.
==== Guardian Beasts of Vexalis ====
[[File:Chridactyl.webp|thumb|Chirodactyl City Guardians|180x180px]]Bound by blood and ancient rite to the Morvane lineage, a minimum of ten '''Chirodactyl guardians''' are kept in dedicated roosting spires along the city’s upper structures and walls. These massive winged predators serve as aerial enforcers, deployed in times of significant threats. Each Chirodactyl shares a deep bond with its designated handler, ensuring loyalty and precise control in combat scenarios.[[File:Krykna.jpg|left|thumb|180x180px|Krykna Guardian Hoardes ]]Surrounding the city beyond the walls lies a defensive perimeter teeming with dozens of '''Krykna''', maintained and directed by specialized handlers. These creatures form a living barrier— highly aggressive to intruders and particularly effective against ground based assaults. Their presence alone serves as a deterrent, while their coordinated deployment can overwhelm hostile forces attempting to breach the city. Together, these defenses ensure that Vexalis remains not only a center of power and indulgence, but a fortress against those who would seek to disrupt its order, or claim its resources for themselves.

----

=== Club Noctis ===

'''Club Noctis''' is Vexalis City’s premier nightclub, housed within one of the city’s oldest stone structures, now repurposed into a sprawling hub of nightlife and indulgence. Its exterior remains a weathered relic, while inside it pulses with music and sensations.

The club is perpetually dark, illuminated by strobing crimson and violet lights that cut through thick haze. Live performances and DJs from across the galaxy carry the atmosphere, blending industrial soundscapes and bass with haunting, ritual like vocals. Many off world artists are granted temporary '''Seals of Protection''', allowing them safe passage to perform. The special effects of both fog and swaths of darkness are used as well during performances, with bat motifs projected onto the walls.

==== Subterranean Chambers ====
Beneath the nightclub lies a network of caverns and former crypts, now converted into private lounge spaces. These secluded areas retain their ancient stonework and are used for private gatherings, discreet dealings, and controlled feeding. The deeper levels are quieter, more exclusive, and far more dangerous.

----

=== The Everlife Resort ===

The '''Everlife Resort''' is a secluded luxury destination built along the outer edge of Vexalis City, centered around a vast geothermal hot spring and an interconnected network of natural caverns. Once a remote site of ritual significance, it has since been transformed into a lavish retreat that offers rest and indulgence.

Privately owned and operated by select members of the Morvane family, alongside practitioners of Nightsister magick, the resort is steeped in arcane influence. Nightsisters oversee daily operations, and their presence is felt throughout the grounds. Wraiths and wandering spirits are a common sight, drifting silently through the caverns and open air baths, regarded less as anomalies and more as part of the atmosphere.

Off from the main central lobby, the resort features finely appointed guest chambers carved into stone or overlooking the steaming springs, each designed for comfort and privacy. A grand casino operates within the main complex, drawing in both Anzati and off world guests with promises of fortune, distraction, and excess.

==== The Springs and Caverns ====
At the heart of the resort lie the geothermal pools themselves— dark, mineral rich waters that emit ghostly steam. The surrounding caverns have been expanded and refined into bathing chambers, meditation spaces, and ritual sites. Guests often report sensations of clarity, vitality, and heightened awareness while immersed, effects that are enhanced by the ichor of magick woven into the environment.

==== Reputation ====
To the wider galaxy, the Everlife Resort is whispered to be a place of transformation and a destination where one might glimpse the secrets of longevity, or even immortality. These rumors are not discouraged. Off world travelers arrive seeking enlightenment, healing, or something beyond death itself. Many are granted entry under temporary '''Seals of Protection'''… though such protections are intentionally limited in scope and duration. Many off the off world travelers who visit this destination have gone missing under mysterious circumstances.
----

=== The Vexalis Museum of the Arts ===
The '''Vexalis Museum of the Arts''' stands as Vexalis City’s premier museum and cultural archives, a sprawling institution dedicated to the preservation and celebration of art across the galaxy. Unlike many worlds where survival eclipses refinement, the Anzati of Vexalis take great pride in artistry— viewing it as an extension of memory, identity, and the experiences carried within life essence itself. Housed within an immense stone complex near the city’s central districts, the Museum blends ancient architecture with carefully curated exhibition halls.

==== Collections ====
The Vexalis Museum of the Arts contains an extensive and ever growing collection of relics, paintings, and sculptures gathered from across countless worlds and eras. Many pieces are acquired through trade or conquest, while others are commissioned by Anzati patrons seeking to immortalize moments, victories, or particularly… memorable lives.

The Exhibits include:

* '''Ancient Relics''': Artifacts from long lost civilizations across the galaxy, preserved not only for their historical value but for the lives once tied to them.
* '''Galactic Masterworks''': Paintings and sculptures sourced from renowned off world artists, often displayed alongside works inspired by them.
* '''Anzati Expressions''': Native works depicting the Anzati in both humanized and true forms, celebrating their predatory nature and enduring lineage, especially that of the royal families.

==== Cultural Role ====
To the Anzati, art is more than aesthetic. Many believe that the act of feeding grants insight into the lives of others, and the Museum serves as a physical counterpart to this philosophy: a place where lives, cultures, and histories are preserved and observed. As such, the Vexalis Museum of the Arts is one of the few spaces in Vexalis where the hunt is culturally restrained. Visitors, both Anzati and offworlders bearing '''Seals of Protection,''' are expected to observe with discipline and reverence.
== Soup Banks of Vexalis ==
The '''Soup Banks of Vexalis''' serve as the primary, regulated source of life essence within the city, forming a critical pillar of both sustenance and social order. Distributed across multiple districts, these institutions are among the most heavily guarded locations in Vexalis. Each Soup Bank is overseen by Anzati officials and protected by a constant presence of armed officers, ensuring strict adherence to distribution laws and preventing theft, unrest, or unauthorized feeding. Access is governed under city law: all Anzati are entitled to one ration every three days when supply allows, though preferential treatment may be granted to nobility and those of elevated rank.

=== Acquisition and Storage ===
Life essence is sourced through sanctioned capture operations, trade agreements, and offworld procurement. Specialized Anzati operatives are tasked with acquiring viable “cattle” from other planets, which are then transported into Vexalis through secured airspace corridors. Upon arrival, shipments are transferred into an extensive underground tunnel network stretching beneath the city. Deep below the surface, the cattle are housed in fortified containment facilities where they are maintained by trained handlers. These individuals are fed, stabilized, and treated medically when necessary to prolong viability, ensuring a sustainable and controlled supply of life essence for the population.

=== Distribution and Public Access ===
Long lines are a common sight at nearly every Soup Bank, often extending into the surrounding streets. Interiors are divided according to status:

* '''Public Feeding Chambers''': Functional, high capacity rooms reserved for lower ranking citizens.
* '''Private Feeding Suites''': Refined and secluded chambers reserved for nobility and those of elevated standing, often accompanied by "rare" meals.

The main lobbies of each bank are ceremonial in design, featuring towering stone statues depicting Anzati in their true forms, alongside honored officers and figures tied to the city’s sustenance system. Administrative officials process entitlements, credits, and warrants under strict oversight.

=== Notable Soup Banks of Vexalis ===
Together, these institutions form a tightly controlled network that sustains Vexalis, reinforces its hierarchy, and ensures that even in abundance, survival remains governed by law, status, and proximity to power.

==== The Crimson Reliquary ====
Located near the central districts beneath the shadow of Morvane Palace, the '''Crimson Reliquary''' is the most prestigious Soup Bank in the city. It serves the nobility and ruling class, offering lavish private feeding suites and access to the highest quality cattle, carefully preserved for potency and refinement. Only upperclass citizens are permitted entry into this particular feeding bank.

==== The Silver Vein ====
Positioned along major trade arteries, the '''Silver Vein''' caters to merchants, contractors, and offworld visitors operating under active Seals of Protection. It functions as both a feeding bank and a hub for negotiation, where business is conducted under temporary immunity. This soup bank boasts two private feeding suites and is frequented by many civilians.

==== The Hollow Reserve ====
Serving the lower districts, the '''Hollow Reserve''' is the most heavily trafficked Soup Bank in Vexalis. Its public feeding chambers are designed for efficiency over comfort, and its long queues reflect the constant demand placed upon it. Despite its harsh conditions, it remains essential in maintaining stability among the general population. Though it contains private feeding chambers, they are seldom used here aside from the officers.

==== The Veiled Crucible ====
Situated within a shadowed quarter of the city, the '''Veiled Crucible''' handles specialized warrants and discreet transactions. Favored by hunters and operatives, it is known for its privacy and rumored access to rare or unconventional cattle, which are distributed from this location.

==== The Ashen Gate ====
Located near the inner wall districts, the '''Ashen Gate''' functions as both a Soup Bank and a strategic reserve. During crises, it prioritizes distribution to Anzati officers and defenders of the city. Its fortified structure reflects its dual role in sustenance and defense
----
== Feral Containment Zones of Vexalis ==
[[File:Ferals.webp|thumb|250x250px|Feral Anzati Populations]]

Despite strict enforcement of city law, outbreaks of feral Anzati occasionally emerge within Vexalis. When such activity reaches critical levels, affected areas are designated as '''Containment Zones'''— sealed districts where feral populations are either exterminated, or monitored until removal can be carried out.

These zones are heavily restricted, marked by visible barriers and guarded perimeters. Entry is limited to authorized hunters, Anzati officers, and contracted exterminators operating under active warrants or '''Seals of Protection'''. These zones stand as stark reminders that while Vexalis thrives on control and hierarchy, the hunger at its core can never be fully contained

=== The Blackrail Underworks ===
Once part of Vexalis' early underground transit system, the '''Blackrail Underworks''' now lie in ruins beneath the city. Collapsed tunnels, rusted rail lines, and long abandoned platforms create a labyrinthine environment ideal for feral Anzati to nest and hunt unseen. Sightings are frequent, and echoes within the tunnels make tracking unreliable. Entire patrol units have vanished within its depths. Due to its complexity, the zone remains under ongoing containment.
----

=== Virex Factories ===
Located in a decayed industrial district, the Virex Factories were once major production sites before being abandoned after multiple feral outbreaks among their workforce. The two massive structures stand side by side— corroded, vast, and structurally unstable in some areas. Their interiors are filled with broken machinery, ash choked corridors, and hidden spaces where ferals gather in packs. Coordinated extermination efforts are periodically launched here, though the population has proven difficult to fully eradicate.
----

=== The Cure Facility ===
The Cure Facility was once a medical building dedicated to studying and treating Anzati on the brink of feral descent. Experimental procedures, many involving arcane intervention and forced suppression of feeding instincts, were conducted in an effort to discover a cure. The efforts failed.

The facility was overrun from within when patients turned in masses, killing staff and spreading beyond containment. It has since been sealed and designated as a permanent Containment Zone.

Remnants of its past remain: various surgical chambers, medical wards, and research labs left frozen in time. Feral presence is extreme, and the zone is considered one of the most dangerous within Vexalis. Entry is rarely sanctioned, and survival is not expected.

Visitors, both Anzati and offworlders bearing '''Seals of Protection,''' are expected to observe with discipline and reverence.
== Soup Banks of Vexalis ==
The '''Soup Banks of Vexalis''' serve as the primary, regulated source of life essence within the city, forming a critical pillar of both sustenance and social order. Distributed across multiple districts, these institutions are among the most heavily guarded locations in Vexalis. Each Soup Bank is overseen by Anzati officials and protected by a constant presence of armed officers, ensuring strict adherence to distribution laws and preventing theft, unrest, or unauthorized feeding. Access is governed under city law: all Anzati are entitled to one ration every three days when supply allows, though preferential treatment may be granted to nobility and those of elevated rank.

=== Acquisition and Storage ===
Life essence is sourced through sanctioned capture operations, trade agreements, and offworld procurement. Specialized Anzati operatives are tasked with acquiring viable “cattle” from other planets, which are then transported into Vexalis through secured airspace corridors. Upon arrival, shipments are transferred into an extensive underground tunnel network stretching beneath the city. Deep below the surface, the cattle are housed in fortified containment facilities where they are maintained by trained handlers. These individuals are fed, stabilized, and treated medically when necessary to prolong viability, ensuring a sustainable and controlled supply of life essence for the population.

=== Distribution and Public Access ===
Long lines are a common sight at nearly every Soup Bank, often extending into the surrounding streets. Interiors are divided according to status:

* '''Public Feeding Chambers''': Functional, high capacity rooms reserved for lower ranking citizens.
* '''Private Feeding Suites''': Refined and secluded chambers reserved for nobility and those of elevated standing, often accompanied by "rare" meals.

The main lobbies of each bank are ceremonial in design, featuring towering stone statues depicting Anzati in their true forms, alongside honored officers and figures tied to the city’s sustenance system. Administrative officials process entitlements, credits, and warrants under strict oversight.

=== Notable Soup Banks of Vexalis ===
Together, these institutions form a tightly controlled network that sustains Vexalis, reinforces its hierarchy, and ensures that even in abundance, survival remains governed by law, status, and proximity to power.

==== The Crimson Reliquary ====
Located near the central districts beneath the shadow of Morvane Palace, the '''Crimson Reliquary''' is the most prestigious Soup Bank in the city. It serves the nobility and ruling class, offering lavish private feeding suites and access to the highest quality cattle, carefully preserved for potency and refinement. Only upperclass citizens are permitted entry into this particular feeding bank.

==== The Silver Vein ====
Positioned along major trade arteries, the '''Silver Vein''' caters to merchants, contractors, and offworld visitors operating under active Seals of Protection. It functions as both a feeding bank and a hub for negotiation, where business is conducted under temporary immunity. This soup bank boasts two private feeding suites and is frequented by many civilians.

==== The Hollow Reserve ====
Serving the lower districts, the '''Hollow Reserve''' is the most heavily trafficked Soup Bank in Vexalis. Its public feeding chambers are designed for efficiency over comfort, and its long queues reflect the constant demand placed upon it. Despite its harsh conditions, it remains essential in maintaining stability among the general population. Though it contains private feeding chambers, they are seldom used here aside from the officers.

==== The Veiled Crucible ====
Situated within a shadowed quarter of the city, the '''Veiled Crucible''' handles specialized warrants and discreet transactions. Favored by hunters and operatives, it is known for its privacy and rumored access to rare or unconventional cattle, which are distributed from this location.

==== The Ashen Gate ====
Located near the inner wall districts, the '''Ashen Gate''' functions as both a Soup Bank and a strategic reserve. During crises, it prioritizes distribution to Anzati officers and defenders of the city. Its fortified structure reflects its dual role in sustenance and defense

== Feral Containment Zones of Vexalis ==

Despite strict enforcement of city law, outbreaks of feral Anzati occasionally emerge within Vexalis. When such activity reaches critical levels, affected areas are designated as '''Containment Zones'''— sealed districts where feral populations are either exterminated, or monitored until removal can be carried out.

These zones are heavily restricted, marked by visible barriers and guarded perimeters. Entry is limited to authorized hunters, Anzati officers, and contracted exterminators operating under active warrants or '''Seals of Protection'''. These zones stand as stark reminders that while Vexalis thrives on control and hierarchy, the hunger at its core can never be fully contained

=== The Blackrail Underworks ===
Once part of Vexalis' early underground transit system, the '''Blackrail Underworks''' now lie in ruins beneath the city. Collapsed tunnels, rusted rail lines, and long abandoned platforms create a labyrinthine environment ideal for feral Anzati to nest and hunt unseen. Sightings are frequent, and echoes within the tunnels make tracking unreliable. Entire patrol units have vanished within its depths. Due to its complexity, the zone remains under ongoing containment.

=== Virex Factories ===
Located in a decayed industrial district, the Virex Factories were once major production sites before being abandoned after multiple feral outbreaks among their workforce. The two massive structures stand side by side— corroded, vast, and structurally unstable in some areas. Their interiors are filled with broken machinery, ash choked corridors, and hidden spaces where ferals gather in packs. Coordinated extermination efforts are periodically launched here, though the population has proven difficult to fully eradicate.

=== The Cure Facility ===
The Cure Facility was once a medical building dedicated to studying and treating Anzati on the brink of feral descent. Experimental procedures, many involving arcane intervention and forced suppression of feeding instincts, were conducted in an effort to discover a cure. The efforts failed.

The facility was overrun from within when patients turned in masses, killing staff and spreading beyond containment. It has since been sealed and designated as a permanent Containment Zone.

Remnants of its past remain: various surgical chambers, medical wards, and research labs left frozen in time. Feral presence is extreme, and the zone is considered one of the most dangerous within Vexalis. Entry is rarely sanctioned, and survival is not expected.
