Character History
Early life
Born into the noble Naboo family, Bellamorae, Shardara was the youngest of six. Her father spent most of her childhood away from home serving as a pilot in Bravo Squadron while her mother took care of their estate and minded the children.
The Death of a Loved One
As she grew older Shardara spent the bulk of her time practising her swordsmanship with her eldest brother, whom she accidentally killed during a heated sparing session. The death of Shardaras eldest brother haunted her for many years and though nobody ever blamed her it was a burden that she was to carry for the rest of her existence. Living with such turmoil and despair led Shardara on a long and grueling journey to find her place in the universe.
Finding the Brotherhood
Afer many years of wondering the galaxy Shardara found herself on Coruscant. This is where she found Windos Helkin Tarentae who sensed great potentional in her and forced her to go to the Shadow Academy for processing. At first Shardara did not want to go as she did not see this as the path she was meant to follow but eventually she agreed to go.
Shardara quickly found her feet within the brotherhood and after being assigned to House Gladius she quickly worked her way up the ranks reaching Protector in just a matter of weeks. Many of her peers were impressed with her success and such devotion to the dark side none more so than her mentors Windos Helkin Tarentae and Scion Altera.
Life Outside the Brotherhood
Living with a Jedi
Shardaras family found it very hard to deal with the fact that she had chosen to lead the life of a dark sider. Shardara had not seen her family in many years and when the news got back to them that she had joined the Dark Brotherhood they didn't know if they were to ever see her again.
A Fathers Love
Although slightly disappointed with Shardaras chosen path Shardaras father was also proud of his young daughter. He understood what it felt like to fight for something that you believed in, after all he was a pilot in Bravo Squadron for many years.
It was important to Shardara that she had her father's approval. He was the one person that she looked up to more than anyone in life including her mentors. To Shardara nothing meant more than the love of her father, she was a daddys girl at heart.
A Love of Dance
Darkest Secret
Shardara lives with a very dark secret. When she was 16 she fell pregnant to a young boy who lived in her neighbourhood. Nobody knew that she was pregnant as she managed to hide it from everyone. Shardara gave birth to a girl. She dropped her off at a nearby orphanage never to see her again.
Maybe one day their path will cross and Shardara will be re united with her lost baby girl in another place, another time.
