| === Early Years ===
| |
| Zasati Tryezsh (born Tryezsha’lin Osechal Zelle) was born in 1 ABY on a planet in the [[starwars:Hapes Cluster|Hapes Cluster]]. Her mother, a [[starwars:Hapan|Hapan]] named Tryezsha’lin Danidual, was the lead field researcher. Her father, a [[starwars:Human|Human]] named Tatim Osechal, was her mother’s assistant. An only child, the young half-Hapan had a relatively normal childhood. She was raised with strong Hapanese values, believing that males were the lesser sex and that no one, not even family, should ever get in the way of one's rise to power.
| |
|
| |
|
| Near the end of her 14th year, her parents were targeted by the [[starwars:Hapes_Consortium|Hapes Consortium]] for reasons unknown. The Consortium’s eyes and ears were ubiquitous across the Hapes Cluster and it wasn’t long before her parents were imprisoned and executed. She escaped their fate largely in part to her parents’ foresight. Months prior they had sent her to live with a relative in the [[starwars:Outer_Rim_Territories|Outer Rim Territories]].
| | ==== Family Ties ==== |
| | Zasati lived with her Uncle Teo and his wife, Lotti, and their twelve children in the city of [[starwars:Valentia|Valentia]] on the planet [[starwars:Jelucan|Jelucan]]. The family lived on the outskirts of the city in an impossibly tiny home. Her Aunt was neglectful and her Uncle was constantly out of work. As the youngest of the children, she was often teased by her human cousins. However, this did little to bother Zasati. Early on she exhibited a greater maturity than her cousins and often tried to pit them against one another when they irritated her. |
|
| |
|
| === A New Life ===
| | At the age of nine, her Aunt and Uncle could no longer afford to care for their children. Tryezsh was the first to be sold off to pay their debts. She was sold to Madame Ki'note Siv, the owner of The Blue Monk, a high-end [[starwars:Brothel|bordello]] in the Pleasantry District of [[starwars:Valentia|Valentia]]. Tryezsh spent the next six years as a servant to the Blue Monk’s most talented courtesan. |
| At the age of 15, she found herself homeless in the city of [[starwars:Valentia|Valentia]] on the planet [[starwars:Jelucan|Jelucan]] where she found work in a dress shop. By the time she was 17, she had become aware that prominent men were willing to give her credits in exchange for her company in both private and social settings. She became a courtesan at The Blue Monk, a high-end [[starwars:Brothel|bordello]], under the tutelage of Madame Ki’nota Siv. | |

| Tryezsha’lin was given the new name, Asivoir, and branded by Madame Ki'nota before she was allowed to work at the bordello. The Madame had an Electrotattoo, in the House Emblem of two twisting lines, surgically branded on her left cheek, forever marking her as property.

| At the time, Electrotattoo were an obscure wonder of modern electronics. Almost considered a cybernetic device, it was comprised of two parts. First, a series of tiny optic transceivers, collectively called Nanoink, were surgically inserted under the skin to resemble the desired tattoo. Next, a sensory implant chip was installed within the brain. This allowed the Nanoink optics to communicate with the emotional-interpretation area of the brain. The device monitored chemical changes in order to transmit the proper color sequence to the Nanoink. The colors corresponded to a special code known primarily to Madame Ki’nota and the courtesans of The Blue Monk. | | At the time, the Electrotattoo was an obscure wonder of modern electronics.

| | By the time she was sixteen, she had proven herself to be a loyal and obedient servant to Madame Ki'nota. Tryezsh began her career as a companion to the courtesan Tsetsiva, a Zeltron famed for her singing voice.

| | |
| | When prominent patrons began to ask for the half-Hapan's company, Madame Ki'nota decided to debut her in an elaborate ceremony. She was given the new name: Zasati. An evening with her was triple the going rate in exchange for her company in both private and social settings. It did not take Zasati long to climb to relative power within the bordello. No longer was she treated as a scullery maid, but rather a very important piece of the House's income. |

After the two had fled the city, Madame Ki'nota put a bounty on Zasati's return. Her education was a huge investment made by the House and her departure meant a great loss of revenue. After a few weeks on the run, Tryezsh realized that Jarrcara did not love her the way she loved him. He simply wanted to own her just as Madame Ki'nota did. One night, he attempted to overpower her against her will. This resulted in a struggle and ultimately, his death. |

He also suggested that Zasati begin to wear a veil, teaching her that attention to her Mark of Ownership was not something she would enjoy.
