Cymbre Solana Kall was born on Coruscant 4 BBY, only child to Tywin Kall and Solana Kall. Tremendously wealthy, the Kalls spared no expense on their daughter. Cym was sent to the finest schools, given private lessons in dance and languages, and taught the art of weaponry by one of the best weapons masters on Coruscant - her own father Tywin. From a young age, she would often accompany him to Dorumaa for hunting expeditions at the Tropix Island Resort, a resort paradise known for its exotic wildlife adventures. When not traveling, or at home on Coruscant, the family spent their time at their home on the coast of the moon Alakatha’s Northern Continent.

The product of growing up in such an extravagant lifestyle, left Cymbre spoiled, entitled, and above all else - easily bored. As she became a teenager, her interests in studies and hunting with her father lessened, and her love of all that was frivolous grew. Putting aside her normal responsibilities, she spent her time surrounding herself with friends as flippant and vain as she. Spending her parents credits, socializing, and being the most shocking and in vogue of all Coruscant became her new all consuming ambitions.

Tywin and Solana tried often to get through to Cymbre about her recklessness. They had never expected any grand accomplishments from their daughter. Their idea of success was just to have her settle down a bit, perhaps eventually marry and have children, if fate allowed. But the more they pressed, the more Cymbre acted out. And as fast as she had something, she was becoming bored with it. Eventually, she found herself drinking more and partaking in Glitterstim, sometimes going missing for days. Although she was unhappy, she knew no other way fulfill her desires.

Endlessly searching for something more, she found it, as so many do, where least expected. On a typical night of partying, she found herself in a particularly seedy night club. It was there she met Mathais, a Dark Jedi. Fascinated by the powers he possessed, and strangely attracted and unable to say no to the man, she accompanied him back to his home. There he revealed that he had actually searched her out, watching her for a long time now, feeling her presence as one strong in the Force. He knew her dreams, he understood her, and saw within her a soul filled with fire and ice.

The time had come. Cymbre could choose to stay on Coruscant, living her idle life, lost and alone day after day. She could settle down anywhere in the galaxy, live a simpler life and grow old someday. But it could never be enough. The answer was here. That night she gave her soul to the Dark Side.

Mathais escorted Cymbre to the Dark Council, where to her horror, it was decided she would attend the Shadow Academy and be assigned to House Senryaku of Clan Aquillas, under the leadership of Kaine Mandaala. Angered that she could not be trained by Mathais himself, she considered leaving all together. Mathais had to explain to the young woman that it did not work that way, and that he also had to move on. He foresaw an illustrious future for her, but he was not a part of it. Heartbroken, perhaps for the first time in her life, Cymbre resigned herself to do as the Dark Council wished and attended the Shadow Academy. While in Aquillas, she thrived, totally embracing the Dark side and focusing her pain and heartbreak into crafting her newly found powers. It is also where she first met and was influenced by Syn Kaek, a man who would eventually become one of her closest confidants. She thought she was perhaps finally where she was meant to be…

But it was only a matter of time before her life came crashing down again. After the Clan’s dissolution, Cymbre, feeling jaded, decided to also discontinue her training at the Shadow Academy and go Rogue. At this time she joined The Emperor’s Hammer and started her career in the Tie Corps and Directorate, making a small name for herself, but never truly finding a niche.

Realizing many of her colleagues were also still members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, and encouraged by them to return, Cymbre decided to resume her Shadow Academy training. She once again left it in the hands of the Dark Council to decide her new Clan and she was transferred to House Acclivis Draco of Clan Scholae Palatinae, led by Cuchulain Darkblade.

Shortly after her arrival on Antenora and completing her Shadow Academy training, Cymbre was elevated to Tetrarch of the House’s Dragon Phyle and given the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. At this time Michael Halcyon, was beginning the first official Master-Student program in the Brotherhood. A young woman by the name of Kystal Wiska was assigned as Cym’s apprentice. After a shift in the leadership of the Clan, Cymbre became Aedile of the House which was now under the leadership of Quaestor Sabé Dracaena.

Once again, Cymbre was thriving. She felt like she was somewhere she belonged. She developed close friendships with Sabé, Kystal, and Anga Salinas. Even despite her training and new position of authority, the new Cymbre was still very much the same as the former Cymbre. Her love of fashion and material objects never faded, and although she always completed her tasks thoroughly, her general outlook on life was still more carefree than most of her fellow Dark Jedi. She and the girls of House Acclivis Draco were regularly up to their eyeballs in mischief, usually with their own Consul Cuchulain as the unfortunate victim of their pranks. However, real trouble was soon on the horizon…

To the confusion of the Clan Summit and to Sabé Dracaena, Cymbre abruptly resigned her position as Aedile, abandoned her close friend and apprentice Kystal Wiska, and left Antenora. It was later exposed that she had traveled to Clan Satal Keto to give up sensitive information and betray Scholae Palatinae. Understandably hurt and angry, most of the Clan sought vengeance against her. Knowing her friend and master too well, Kystal set out to prove Cymbre was innocent of wrong doings. She uncovered that is was actually Jacynta Ni’Erilia, a clone of Cymbre Kall, that was behind the corruption, and aided Cymbre in her escape from imprisonment. The women were able to destroy the clone and reveal the truth behind Cymbre’s disappearance to their Clansmen in Scholae Palatinae, but Kystal succumbed to her injuries from the fallout before reinforcements could arrive.

Devastated by the loss, Cymbre sank into a deep depression. Although her Clan on Antenora welcomed her back with open arms, she could no longer continue with her duties there. She spent most of her time in isolation, meditating, and questioning her role in Scholae Palatinae.

An invitation by former members of the Clan Aquillas for Cymbre to take on the name Aquillarum, started a new chapter in Cymbre’s life. In honor of her first Clan, she would be known as Cymbre Solana Aquillarum Kall.

Determined to make a fresh start she openly visited the Clans Naga Sadow, Taldryan, and Arcona, searching for new opportunities. During this time, she also made acquaintance with Chi-Long, a man who would influence her life with the Brotherhood for years to come. With a heavy heart, she informed Scholae Palatinae of her decision and Cymbre was soon on her way to the Arcona Citadel in Estle City, Selen.

During her time in Arcona, Cymbre remained close with the members of the expanding Long Family, especially Chi-Long, often coming to him for guidance. Eager to go where she was needed, she was transferred several times from the Clan’s Houses, Qel Droma and Oriens Obscurum, in order to lead their battle teams as either Squadron Leader or Tetrarch. Emerging beyond her Clan, she also took a post as a Course Instructor in the Brotherhood’s Shadow Academy. She found much irony in the fact that she, who had put aside her studies on Coruscant in favor of revelry and who had withdrawn previously from the Shadow Academy, was now there to guide up-and-coming Dark Jedi. However, she took pride in her work and was well rewarded by Acxodim Pyralis for it.

Although, she was bestowed with several achievements during her time in Arcona, she found herself becoming increasingly restless once more and craving more command than just leading Battle Team after Battle Team. Originally, leaving the Arcona Citadel to follow an opportunity in Clan Tarentum, Cymbre was shortly stopped by Chi-Long with two offers. First, was an invitation to become a member of the Long Family. Upon joining the Long Family, Chi-Long pronounced she would be named Xiao Long - The Little Dragon. The second offer was to once again serve in House Summit as Quaestor of House Byss of Clan Exar Kun, where Chi-Long had recently taken reign as Consul. She accepted, but upon arrival was shocked at the state of the Clan.

After Jac Cotelin announced the Dictum of Two Skies, the merge of Exar Kun and Satal Keto, Xiao Long was appointed as Quaestor of House Bane in the newly formed Clan Plagueis. Although the House is eventually dissolved and she did not take on any new position, she remained in the shadows of Plagueis supporting Chi-Long until his departure as Consul.

Going back to her original plan of joining Clan Tarentum, the Little Dragon headed to the Yridia System. She quickly made a name for herself in the Clan, eventually earning herself status in the Inner Order of Tarentum. However after a couple of years, and with no explanation, she completely disappeared.

The Little Dragon has recently remerged, revealing that she had been living on the planet Zeltros in the Inner Rim. Whether she was unwilling or unable to leave the opulent planet is still unknown, but the death of Chi-Long forced her back into her senses. She reached out to Xia Long, the new Family Matriarch and found that her return would be welcome.

Upon her return to the Brotherhood, she found much had changed. After consideration, she decided her best course of action would be to follow Xia Long, and the newly named Xue Long to the Clan Naga Sadow.
