Biographical Data

Early Life

The earliest memories that Lav'anre possesses are the drone of a freighter's engines. Her father acted as a mechanic and trader to support his wife and daughter, meaning the girl saw little of the surface of many planets. The protective nature of her mother also enforced a cold, less-than-social nature in the child. Owning nothing of her own, and being allowed to keep little with her in a space she could call her own, the child became withdrawn even from her parents. Compared to any other youth of her age, she appeared an emotionless husk. This demeanor belied a very loving child- at least when it came to her own parents. She knew she had nothing of her own because they possessed so little. Her father seemed to have the mind of getting a job, completing a job and keeping flying, rather than sowing any lasting investments. Until her exposure to the Brotherhood in 35 ABY, she showed little more than an natural aptitude for mathematics and music.

First Contact: The Brotherhood

A freighter containing the unconscious form of Lav'anre and the corpses of her parents was found on the edge of the Orian system by Warhost forces. At the behest of then-Consul Sanguinius Entar, the child and ship were questioned and inspected respectively. The damage to the freighter appeared to be little more than that which might be experienced by pirates to hassle a smaller freighter- scorch marks and the like- before extorting the inhabitants for some quick credits. While this appeared a glance to be of a minor nature, a closer inspection revealed that the life support system had been damaged in the attack. It was little more than sheer fortune had saved the girl's life. Given an hour more, whether frozen or asphyxiated, Lav'anre would not have survived much longer. When the Proconsul heard of these events, he called for the teenager to be brought before him.

The Corellian Sith told the girl that she had been chosen. Fate and the Force had chosen that she should survive the attack that had claimed her parents, he assured her. Sensing the Force in the girl, so now would he claim her as his apprentice. Smiling down at her he promised that she would possess strength if she so desired it. If she did not desire it, he continued, she would not survive the ordeal. From that point on, the pair have trained hard to sharpen her keen potential into a truly deadly weapon.

A Rebellious Heart

Upon her Master's return, Lav'anre began to feel a wanderlust. She had so long grown used to the wandering of her youth that she became unable to remain upon Sepros. Though she did not express these feelings to Bentre, he seemed to understand her need. He ordered her to train on Tarthos. The girl's arrival on the planet coincided with the orchestrated purge of so-called disloyal forces. Unlike her master, Lav'anre saw an odd sort of wisdom to the actions orchestrated by the Ragnosian Quaestor. While she refused to pledge herself to Kojiro Keibatsu, she joined in on the purges.

When news of her actions reached the then-Pronsul, the wrath of Bentre was turned upon her. Whereas her training had been merely demanding, she found her new training regiment pushed her boundaries and forced her to grow far in strength far faster than before. At first, she found her efforts a struggle but as she began to embrace the rage she had previously held in her chest, she found a new strength. While the older Sith fully understood what was occurring, young Lav'anre did not yet fully comprehend the slope toward the Dark Side she now walked. As the Clan found itself thrust from its home system, the girl found herself bouncing between ships as needed and being sent on missions to scope out the assets and resources that could be acquired at various points of interest.

Physical Data

A sandy-orange Twi'lek, Lav'anre might appear non-assuming at a glance. Despite her diminutive height and lean frame, she can often be found wearing simple, functional clothes: a pair of worn pants and a tank top typically covered by an old Rebellion-era jacket bearing the Rebel crest. A knife or blaster is usually worn on a belt holster at her side. Looking into the young Twi'lek's dark-brown-green eyes, you would see a weariness beyond her years, a hardness in her gaze.

Relationship Data

Parents

Both parents are deceased. There is no relevant data upon either individual upon the ship, and the child has refused to comment during any interview on the nature of their relationship.

Bentre Stahoes

The woman seems to hold her 'master' in cold disregard. She learns from the man readily enough, but she possesses nothing like appreciation or gratitude for his acts. It can be assumed that she sees him as little more than a tool. It has been speculated by Stahoes himself that she may just be hurting from the recent loss of her family. Despite his relatively understanding nature, her Master has worked to reel the girl in so she might better serve the cause of Sadow. She has begun to resent his actions over time, but keeps her tongue most times when in the man's presence. The Twi'lek also recognizes that there is still something to be learned from the man, if she can only keep herself alive and well. As her master stepped up to the office of Consul, she found- to her annoyance- that his attentions were spread out to a greater degree. She determined she would have to work harder to keep the man's attention. After all, she reasoned to herself, wasn't the Consul's ear tilted toward you the quickest path to power?

Tasha'Vel Versea

While still markedly detached, Lav'anre has actually connected somewhat with her master's wife. There is a connection between the two that is warm, almost as though the young woman views Tasha'Vel as some sort of surrogate mother figure. This warmth does not translate into the training that occurs with the two in a student-mentor fashion, however. There is still a cool almost-disinterest in that setting that may pass with time as Lav'anre is allowed to come to terms with her life as it is.

Syntari Bastiayn

Though their contacts thus far have been few and far in between, any adult could recognize the jealousy that Lav'anre holds for Syntari. The apprentice believes that she is more deserving of the honors and duties that are afforded to a member of the Black Guard, while failing to recognize the work or dedication inherent in undertaking such a position. To the mutual good of both the Umbaran and Twi'lek, their contacts are still few and far in between enough that the anger felt has not had the opportunity to be sharpened by the

Possessions

Much as in her childhood, she possesses little of her own. This is now more as a result of her training than any machination of the Brotherhood or its members. She is not denied anything expressly, but rather has taken after her mentor's seemingly spartan mindset. She keeps a beaten armory lightsaber, a few sets of simple clothing furnished by the Brotherhood, a vibroblade and a knife. Such an existence is simple. Once La'vanre becomes stronger, she has promised herself, she will have everything she could want.

Skills and Training

Through intense training since her being apprenticed, the young woman has become familiar with the basics of lightsaber combat, bladed weaponry, has been drilled on the basics of diplomacy and tactics and continues to sharpen her mind. She has received training from both Bentre and his wife on a variety of subjects in order to better round out her education. While Stahoes has insisted that he teach the girl everything he learned from Master Turelles, the Versea family's Matriarch has ensured that Lav'anre is able to do more than to follow in the shadow of Stahoes. Thanks to this the young Twi'lek is becoming a more rounded student than her master- even this early in her training.
