Character History

Early Life

The Gua'lara Family and Andrea

Agate was born on planet Naboo in 8 ABY. She grew up in a family of an ancient tribe named Gua'lara. Her father was Zircon Gua'lara and her mother was Beryl Gua'lara. Agate had two younger sisters named Kunzite and Iolite. Her ancestors known as one of the breeders of the Guarlara long before the beast became the noble steed of the royal family. Because of their distinguished ability to tamed the Guarlaras, the tribe also called as “The Guarlara Whisperers.”

Agate parents taught their children about the history and traditions of the tribe and they kept their children to stay connected with the nature. The told their children to respect the nature and not to destroyed the environment.

Agate had a special ability to connect, build bonds and communicate with the creatures. Her parents also realized that she had strong connection to the force. Some members of the tribe used the Force to tame the creatures. She had a favorite loyal male Guarlara named Andrea. He was a huge stallion with a pair of horns on his head. In spite of his massive and strong body, he was gentle, patient and calm. Agate loved to spend her time with him. They often went up to the hill and enjoyed the Theed city view and the waterfalls from afar.

Agate could communicate to other creatures with her special ability as a creature handler. She could ride Andrea without the saddle and bridle. But she still trained him with the tack or equipment because other people who didn't have the special ability also rode Andrea.

Life on Naboo

Long ago, Agate's ancestors traded, made agreements and became the breeders or trainers of Royal family's Guarlaras. They bred the majestic beasts with more advanced breeding management and technologies. The trade and agreements made the descendants of Gua'lara family became wealthier. They lived near Theed, the capital city of Naboo. Many guarlara statues could be found in Theed as the symbol of nobility, loyalty and strength.

But not all the Gua'lara's ancestors made the decided to trade and live in the Capital City or nearby. Agate family had a small ranch not far from the city. Some members lived far away from Theed. Agate and her family often went to the remote places such as the snowy northern mountains of Naboo. At those places, they found the wild and feral Guarlaras ran free. They also met the tribe members who bred the Guarlaras in more traditional ways.

There, she felt more connected to the Force, and she wanted to learn more about it. Agate ran in the meadow, walked through the forest, explored the nature and sometimes it caused wounds and left small scars on her arms and legs. Agate appreciated the beautiful landscapes and fascinating celebrations such as the Festival of Glad Arrival in the Lake Country. But sometimes, she saw the horrific giant aquatic creatures approached the fishermen.

Education

Agate studied at school and academy in Theed. She loved to visit Theed galleries, libraries and museums. When she was at school, she met Balia Donos as her classmate. Balia rarely played with his friends, so she didn't know him well. In her teens, Agate heard the rumor about Belia's crime and disappearance. She never heard about him again until her future master, Sa Ool told her that he had met Balia on Naboo.

Agate learned a lot about art, biology, history and diplomacy in Theed, but she found lack of references about the Force. Therefore, she decided to learn about the Force from the Jedi. She also interested to learn about the creatures outside planet Naboo.

First Contact with the Jedi

It wasn't hard to find the jedi representative at Theed, since Naboo had significant influences in politics and trade routes. The Jedi Embassy located near the Theed Royal Palace. At the Embassy, one of the jedi instructed Agate to go to Kiast. She felt a bit nervous to leave her home planet but also felt exited for her new adventures. She went to Naboo Space Station and traveled to Kiast.

Arrival on Kiast

At the temple on Kiast she was greeted by members of Clan Odan-Urr, Agate learned about Jedi teaching while joined the Odan-Urr clan on Kiast. After learned the basic jedi teachings, she studied the archives. After that, she had been introduced to Master Sa Ool to learn about lightsaber form art.

Sa was a lightsaber instructor for younglings and other Jedi who wanted to learn a different form. Agate was so excited to learn about the basic lightsaber. She learned the basic with the training blade before she used a real lightsaber. With Master Sa's guidance, Agate finally passed the lightsaber basic training. Agate lightsaber ability was just an average and she only used it for defense.

Exploring Solyiat

Agate's primary ability as a creature handler led her journey to Solyiat. There were many mining facilities on Solyiat since more regions discovered new resources and technologies. The natural habitat exploitation on Solyiat caused many of the beasts lost their home. The Empire provoked the creatures with the dark force and made them became more aggressive and attacked the locals. Sometimes it started incidents at nearby facilities.

The Beast Attack on Solyiat

The devastated animals which lost their natural habitat and influenced by the dark side approach the local mines, injured and killed some of the workers. Although many of the armed force tried to kill the beasts, Agate and her team used their ability to handle the creatures. At some point, her new experiences to oppose the dark force made her unstable and fell into it. Once, she couldn't stand the dark influence and in anger, she slaughtered the animals. Although she could save the locals' lives from the attack, in the viewpoint of creature handlers, the mission considered as a failure. Frustrated and depressed, she rested, meditated and sought guidance.

One night, the hideous dark Varritul terrified the colony, the creature handler team combined their ability to communicate and control the creature. The mission succeeded. The Varritul successfully tamed and flew back to mountainous region. Since then, many of the locals changed their perception about the creatures. They learned that the beasts had many similarities to other sentient beings. Therefore, the locals respected the beasts and they wanted to know better.

The Sanctuary

The Creature Handler team build the Animal Sanctuary to heal and protect the creatures in need, which were sick, injured, trapped, distressed and hallucinated with the dark side. After the creatures healed, they returned the animals to the wild. Some of the creatures chose to stay and became domesticated animals or pets. The locals celebrated the moment as the Friends of Beasts Day. Those events reminded her about the story of her ancestors who tamed the first Guarlara on Naboo.

There were precious moments for Gua’lara family. They spend there about a week in their relative’s house near Theed city.
