| | == 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 heart-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 pale lavender with hints of silver in their depths. |
| | |
| | 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. |
| | |
| | Even when it comes to lounge-wear, Syrena prefers to wear fine silk dresses with matching evening gloves, or a white blazer with long pleated silk skirt when it comes to business-related negotiations. 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. |

| 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. | | 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.

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.

| 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.

| She now maintains an element of secrecy, for her path towards freedom was not without consequence. Continually hunted by Elethar’s associates, she does what is necessary to keep safe, whether that means fighting or being continually on the run. Though not fully aligned with the Jedi Order, Syrena has chosen a path of wanting to set others like herself free, something she has made it her mission to do for the past five years.
| | === Path to 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. |

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. |

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.
Preformer 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.

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.

The Force
When it comes to the force, Syrena does view it in a way that is religious or indoctrinated in any sort of way. She instead 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, or that in can bring peace in the same way a calming melody can.
