Name: Monna Hera
Age: 26
Race: Human
Birth place: Dantoonie
Height: 5'8
Weight: 140lb
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Brown, blonde highlights
Appearance:
Monna is blessed with an attractive figure and a beautiful face to match it. She stands tall and with a lean muscle build. Her skin is a light shade of brown, lips a thin line, and her body a bit lanky. She is known to put her looks to good use, and they by all means help her, that much is for sure. Her most noticeable feature is her cybernetic right forearm. The only real "blemishes" on her otherwise rather beautiful body would be some scar tissue around where her cybernetic forearm meets her organic arm, and a few scars on the back of her shoulder. She has a complicated tattoo design on her back, no one really knows what it is, and she has it mostly for looks, but on her shoulder blades are two depictions of wings.
She carries herself with a confident walk and, honestly, a little bit of a swagger in her step. Her default expression is normally a small smug smirk, and she is normally fund wearing a white leather cut-off jacket with rolled up sleeves, a black tank top, comfortable pants and finally - leather boots. It's not uncommon for her to be seen wearing a silver chain necklace that originally belonged to her Twi'lek lover, but was given to her as a birthday present. Other than her chain necklace, she isn't known to wear anything else in the terms of jewelry besides an occasional stub in her right ear or a bracelet.
Personality:
Monna is known for having a sharp tongue and wit, and for being heavily sarcastic. She's often a bit narcissistic and isn't afraid of saying what needs to be said, regardless of what people think. She can be a bit rude to people she doesn't know, as often she will figure that if she doesn't know you or respect you, then your opinion does not matter. She is known to, at times, run her mouth and be cocky. She lacks a filter on her mouth and will argue her point to the death. She's stubborn as stubborn gets.
She's known for being too brave for her own good, and also pretty reckless. She won't hesitate to throw her life on the line for Aeo, but she holds everyone else she deems as friends to a much lower regard - in short, if she has the choice between saving a friend or saving her Twi'lek lover, she will save her Twi'lek lover and leave that friend to their gruesome fate. There are times where she can be rather childish and immature, especially when she doesn't get to do something she had planned. Her habits often include biting her nails, rubbing her neck, and running her hands through her hair when she is frustrated. Mpnna is easily stressed, small situations can easily put her in to a bad mood if they aren't handled, and big situations cause her to stress more and more depending on the size of the said situation. Aeo tends to be one of the only people who can calm Monna down when she is stressed out, everyone else might be subject to a hissy fit.
She often holds the Jedi in high regards, so mentioning badly of them or force users tends to put a bitter taste in the women's mouth for that person that she won't let go very easily, she's known to hold grudges.
Monna despises criminals, after various experiences in her life, Criminal activity has become something she seeks to destroy everywhere she can find it. As far as she is concerned, if she can kill one monster in the galaxy, then she made the universe a bit brighter. Criminals, in her eyes, deserve death or suffering, whichever reach them first - thus her title as a Vigilante.

Bio:
Monna was born to a modest family on Dantoonie, which would have been completely normal, besides maybe one thing: Her mother was a former Jedi. She was never told the complete story about her mother leaving the order, but the general idea she was given was that her mother fell in love with a farm hand on Dantoonie and left the order for him, knowing that the Jedi would never allow it. She was forced to give up her lightsaber for it, but according to her it was a worthy price - and she simply made a new one anyway. Her parents were loving people, her mother was kind, wise and strong - her father was clever, quick on his feet and charismatic. She took most of these traits with her through life.
The young couple enjoyed their life with their newborn child, it was all rather simple, no worries. Just a stable home, a stable life, and a stable family. Around the age of four, Monna's force sensitivity began to show, her mother did not want her child taken to the Jedi and insisted on training her herself. Luckily, there was never a problem with having to give Monna over. From when she turned five onward, Monna's mother began teaching her daughter how to control her force abilities and the way of the Jedi. Of course, Monna never really took the Jedi code to heart. It wasn't something that ever dictated her life. Her mother made training a daily thing in the mornings and evenings, and Monna loved it. She trained Monna in Shi-Cho and Ataru after spending enough credits on the resources to make Monna a proper training saber, along with focusing her use of the Force. Monna's mother particularly excelled in the use of the Force powers that enhanced the users physical attributes, and so she taught her daughter the same and it shows when Monna puts the physical aspects of the Force to use now.
Monna trained relentlessly until she had reached the age of nineteen. While on a supply run with her father to a nearby settlement, they left their mother behind to keep an eye on things. They trusted her well enough to do it, considering that she was the one with the lightsaber. While the two were away, their home was visited by a band of unsavory people and, well, it wasn't a pleasant thing to return to. Monna's mother had been overwhelmed by six different men wielding blaster rifles and she had been killed. When the two returned and found her dead, they were distraught. Monna, who had loved her mother so dearly as both a student and a daughter, entered a period of depression while her father did his absolute best to hold things together.
Monna didn't do much for about two years, and at the age of twenty-one she went to her father and expressed a want to go off planet, to see the rest of the galaxy that was beyond Dantoonie. He knew she would be able to handle herself, between her mothers training and her own natural stubbornness, his daughter was a tough girl and if anyone could handle that big, scary galaxy, it would be her. As a parting gift, he gave her a considerable amount of Credits for her trip and to get started and a locked box that he asked she not open until she was in a private place on the shuttle off of Dantoonie. The following day, she bid her father farewell and boarded a shuttle - telling her home world goodbye was the point where she no longer felt depressed, finally breaking away. About halfway through the flight, Monna opened the box her father had given her and, inside was something that caught the young woman off guard - there rested her mothers lightsaber with a note reading "She would have wanted you to have this... -Dad" and so, she took it proudly and clipped it to her belt then and there. It was a turning point in her life. While on the shuttle, which was taking them to another part of Dantoonie as a second pick-up and then to Nar Shaddaa.
While on there, a Twi'lek woman named Aeyalo, who Monna affectionately nicknamed "Aeo" to save the Twi'lek from having to deal with Monna repeatedly mispronouncing her name, boarded and took a seat next to Monna. They conversed and hit it off rather fast, both of them were leaving their home worlds for the first time, they'd both lost someone to criminals, and they were both fiery, sarcastic, independent and stubborn to all hell. By the end of the flight, the two were already planning to stick together in this big scary world.
Originally, Aeo and Monna bought separate homes on their new planet, however after a few months of being friends, they decided it'd be more fun and much cheaper if they moved in together, and so they did just that. Aeo was always good at fist fighting, and for Monna's sake, since you don't just whip out a lightsaber for no reason, taught her what she knew in how to fight things with her hands. After about a year of the two taking Mercenary jobs together, something different happened. Aeo and Monna weren't just friends anymore.
It happened rather suddenly, and neither of them quiet expected it, but the two ended up in a relationship. It was Monna's first official relationship, in all honesty. It made their relationship change, but only for the better. Granted, there was occasional cases of a lovers squabble, but they would make up later and hug it out. The two proved to be a very lethal mercenary team, and later they even took to bounty hunting. Aeo handled things with a blaster and her hands, and Monna would bust out her Lightsaber and Force powers and make them empty their bowls in to their pants - all in all, a good strategy!
Now, this, like most good things, didn't last forever. When Monna had reached the age of twenty-four, Aeo left to the bar one day while Monna decided to hang back and relax at home, being tired from a job they had finished not long before. When her Twi'lek lover didn't return, she began to grow worried as it hit the late night hours. She decided to go check the bar for her, it wasn't that far from their home. Upon examining it, she found no trace of Aeo, so she began asking people if they had seen her and everyone reported that she had walked out of the bar and that it was the last time that they had seen her. Of course, by now, Monna was almost in a state of panic while looking for her dear Masha and... eventually, she found her. Barely clinging to life in a back alley, battered and bruised, beaten within an inch of her life and all of her valuables taken by muggers. She was taken in for medical attention, the doctors stabilized Masha, and Monna was relieved. They went home together a few days later, Aeo was never quite the same - she wasn't as thrill seeking as she once was and expressed a want to take a calmer stance on life. Monna wasn't looking for a calmer life, but Masha seemed to want one. She and Aeo began taking calmer jobs, but the Twi'leks heart just didn't seem in it anymore. Their relationship actually did not come to an end like many in similar situations do, in fact, it hasn't ended. Monna expressed a want for a change of scenery, figuring that it would be good for her Twi'lek lover. She agreed, but they didn't just want some home on a new planet. They wanted to see more...
The two invested in a ship, one to carry them out in to the galaxy. "Home", as they lovingly named it became their vessel and their loving home to share with one another, and now the two travel through the galaxy with one another, and a continued burning hate in Monna's heart for criminals that she keeps locked away from her lover. She had never taken to the title of a "vigilante" until, during one visit to Tatoonie, she witnessed an attempted mugging and proceeded to plunge her lightsaber through the hip of the would-be mugger to immobilize him, without handling the rather large axe in his hand.
This is when, you guessed it, she lost her arm. Aeo saw that she got immidently medical care and made her promise not to do anything so stupid again - the promise was more a joke than anything. Monna's left forearm completely hacked off, and in replacement, they purchased a cybernetic replacement, it would do fine for them, and it was better than lacking an arm altogether. The whole experience finally put her to the breaking point when it came to handling criminals, and when they came in to play she became... merciless. Now, Monna is continuing to explore the galaxy and all it has to offer with her dear, sweet Aeo, they've begun looking in to a crew for "Home" while they are at it.
RP Sample:
Home was silent for the early morning of Tatoonie, and Monna loved every moment of it that she got to sleep through it with Aeo's arms wrapped around her waist, the navy skinned twi'lek's face buried in to her hair, which had become a bit unruly as of late. Not a noise came from the ship other than the breathing of the two sleeping women, happily embracing one another in the master bedroom.
And, like all good things, it must come to an end. There was a loud buzzing and the chocolate skin colored humans blue eyes opened slowly, still heavy and begging for her to shut them again, Monna let out a small groan and moved her pillow over her head, pressing it against her ear. In her opinion, it was too early in the morning and too much of a comfortable way to awaken to break such peaceful silence. Another noise came from next to her, followed by a shift of weight on the bed. Upon moving her pillow from her face, she tilted up her head to see Aeo sitting up and rubbing her eyes. "Will you get that, please?" the beautiful Twi'lek asked, soon following it up by flopping back right on to the bed with a sigh.
"Fine, fine... I've got it..." Monna muttered, taking the pillow in her cybernetic hand and tossing it off to the side. She didn't want to move a muscle, her body and mind still wishing her to sleep. It was times like these that Monna loved being Force Sensitive. It was Monna's personal tablet that had been buzzing, apparently with a notification. To her dismay, it was across the room. She wasn't about to move, so the young woman sat up and eyed the small square on the dresser, brought up her flesh and blood hand and made the pad move towards her, placing it gently on her lap and looking over the screen, there awaited a message from a man named Jordan. Jordan was one of Monna's repeated clients for Bounty Hunting and Merc work, and he was an absolute pig. In all honesty, the fat human was the last thing that Monna wanted to deal with at this moment of time, and so she tossed the tablet down on the bed and laid back down with her twi'lek lover, facing Aeo with a smile on her face.
Aeo looked back at her with an expression that was equally content, and soon a blue hand emerged from the covers and touched Monna's cheek. "You know what would be nice?" The twi'lek asked, a grin extending across her face.
"What?" Monna asked, raising an eyebrow at her as her cybernetic hand moved up to place over Aeo's. "Let's just not get out of bed today." she replied, her smile turning in to a smirk. Monna laughed a little and pecked Aeo's nose. "I can't say I'm against the idea." the human remarked, pulling Aeo closer and leaning in for a kiss.... only to be interrupted by another round of buzzing.
"Bloody--..." Monna sighed and sat up, leaning over and picking up her tablet, originally aiming to shut it off so that she could continue to enjoy her morning, and seemingly the following day, but was given no such luck in what this new message contained. "Aeo, check this out." Monna said, waving the twi'lek over. She peeked over Monna's shoulder, eying the tablet while using her hands to keep the blanket covering her. On the tablet, there was another message from Jordan, but this wasn't a job offer or anything of the sort - it was a cry for help form the two most capable people he knew... who were in the area.
And that ended what was sure to be a wondrous day. Jordan was a pig, but he was one of their best paying and most repeating customers - always wanting something done or passing them good contracts... they couldn't just let him die.
"I'll get our weapons in order, you get our clothing set up. And before Monna could even protest, her lovely twi'lek lover had exited the room for the storage room where they kept the weaponry.
