Name: Zandra (Zee) Thunder
Race: Human
Age: 22
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 116
Birth place: Mos Eisley, Tatooine.
Appearance:
Zee has long blonde hair that touches below her shoulder; it usually has a playful curl to it. Her hair is somewhat golden in color and the bangs in the front are a lighter bleached blonde. There is much pride taken in her hair, and this is obvious. Her hair is never unkempt, never wild, and never dirty. One could even tease that each and every hair on her head had its own specific place.
Her eyes are a blue grey but sometimes appear as green. One could say they are “oceanic” in color. Her shoulders are a bit broad and lead to lightly muscled arms. She has a thin build, but does not appear to be athletic. She is not tall, but nor is she short. Her nails are cut short and kept short at all times and are painted a different color each day. Her fingers are long and she usually has multiple rings on. She has been called too thin before. While at work she wears tan pants, fitted well on her legs. Usually she wears boots, brown in color, though she does wear other shoes. She usually wears a tight fitted shirt of a desired color. She wears makeup, but not too much. Usually her makeup consists of lip stick or gloss, with mascara, eyeliner, and a light toned eye shadow. Being a bar tender, Zee keeps looking good, this can sometimes entitle her to a tip. Her voice is gentle and happy, but lacks any distinguishable accent.
Personality: Zee is a strong spirited woman. Through the struggles with her mother and the loss of her father she has stayed relatively emotionally intact. She cares extremely for those she loves, and this goes especially for her dewback, Kara. Zee is often found as being flirtatious. To Zee, most of the time this is simply her being nice. Zee tends to be a favorite amoung the guys and has a sense of charm to her. However, with the girls she isn't as popular. Zee likes things that would be typically "guy stuff". She is pretty extroverted but can be shy at times.

0-5
Zee was born on a hot day on Tatooine toward the outskirts of the city. It was nearing evening when her mother gave birth to her. She was healthy and her mother couldn’t have been happier. She grew fast for her mother. By the age of two she was starting to talk more and be able to answer simple questions. Her favorite words were “I don’t know”. As she grew she began to take an interest in ships. Her toys consisted of models of different speeders and ships. The beginning of her life during these years was rather normal, despite little contact with her father. Her father Asch Thunder was usually out working at his job as a mechanic in Mos Eisley, or out drinking in the cantina. Her mother Sarine Thunder was a stay at home mom. She spent a lot of time teaching Zandra before her schooling began. Though Asch clearly had a drinking problem, he was never violent toward Sarine or to Zandra, he was a caring husband and father, causing Sarine to overlook and dismiss his addiction. One night, Asch was coming home drunk from the bar, Zandra wrapped herself around his leg and looked up at him, thrilled he was home. Sarine supported him, so he didn’t fall over, and he handed Zee a plush dewback, something she would cherish for life.
6-10
As Zandra flew through school, she swore up and down to “be like daddy”. She completed all homework assignments on time, if not early. Math and art both came easily to her, and it was clear that she had a gift in these areas. The hardest subject in school for Zee became English and writing. She was adventurous and free spirited, preferring to be outside playing in the sand or making something from the dirt, rocks, and other small metal pieces of interest such as bolts and screws. As she began to get slightly older, Asch was around more, playing with her after work and before hitting the cantina. Sarine was thankful he had began to help out, and with Zandra in school, she began searching for a job. As an only child, she enjoyed the attention of her parents without interruption.
11-15
For her 11th birthday Asch got Zee a tool kit, complete with a measuring tape. The little girl ran around measuring things. Asch taught his daughter to measure things, then draw them on paper and label, to help with her creating skills. She began designing trinkets, and her father would help her make them. When she was 12 he took her to his workshop and showed her around. Zee wanted nothing more than to be with daddy all day. Sarine found a job at a local meat shop at the front counter. She received discounts on meat, which her family appreciated. Sarine was becoming slightly jealous of the attention Zandra gave to her father. After all, for the first five years of zee’s life, Asch practically ignored her, the only sign of affection toward her having been the plush dewback. Sarine voiced her anger with Asch in a loud argument that Zee overheard from her bed, clutching the dewback tight. As her parent’s yelling filled the house, a tear escaped tightly shut eyes. The next morning Asch took Zee to school, telling her simply “Mommy went on a vacation”. In reality, her mom had stomped out of the house in anger, running to her brother’s house for sanctuary. For a whole year she didn’t hear from her mother again. Asch bought a droid to help out around the house with raising Zandra while he was at work, though while she wasn’t at school he took her with him. For Zee’s 14th birthday her mother sent her a hologram, explaining that she still loved her but couldn’t come home because her brother needed her help. That was a flat out lie, but it was better than nothing for Zee, and she had to believe it. Her grades began to slip, and Asch tried to encourage her. These days he only went to the cantina with her, and he pretty much took her everywhere with him when she wasn’t in school. She would sit at the bar next to her father, doing homework for her math or art classes. The cantina owner took a great liking to her and pretty much allowed her to do anything, within reason. He gave her free non-alcoholic drinks while she sat with her dad doing homework. One evening she was writing a paper for a class on biology about dewbacks, he reviewed it for her on her holopad and helped her make changes to it and make it better. Asch didn’t mind at all, the cantina owner was a good friend of his at this time and he enjoyed knowing if he needed the man he would be there.
16-19
At the age of 16 Zandra obtained a job at the cantina bussing tables after school. She was overall well liked and did her job well. Her grades in school had began to return to a decent level and she had by then expected she would never see her mother again. Taking more of an interest into being a woman than she had before, boys began to notice her more, much to Asch’s disliking. Zee would never do anything without her father’s approval though, as she respected him so much. One evening, while wiping down tables, she came across a familiar face. It was her mother. Sarine had heard her daughter was working in the cantina and came to see her. There were many conflicting emotions flowing in the 16 year old’s mind, anger, happiness, sadness, concern. She wasn’t sure how to feel or how to react. Should she address her mother, should she leave, ignore the problem? Sarine walked up to her and hugged her. Zee’s mind was racing. How should she react? Should she hug back? No. This was the woman that abandoned her. Sarine began to apologize for all the things she did wrong. Zee patted her on the back. Telling her it was fine and that her daddy was taking better care of her. Sarine tried to explain, but Zee was having none of it, and returned to working. So she left the cantina, rejected by her own daughter. When Asch found out, he wasn’t happy with it and told Zandra she shouldn’t have to put up with that. Sarine didn’t visit Zee again.
For her 17th birthday Asch got his daughter a young pet dewback, something she had always wanted. They kept it tied to a post until they finished building a short wall around their property to keep it in, which between the two of them only took a day to put together. The dewback was female, and she was quick to name her Kara.
She finished all the schooling that she would be taking when she was 18 and began working at the bar more often along with helping her dad in the shops. Asch was hopeful that he could keep her interested in mechanics. One night, on the way home from a birthday party, her dad was driving the speeder, since they were living on the outskirts of the city they had to have one. Zee fell asleep, and Asch was growing more and more tired. The next thing Zee knew, she woke up to the smell of fumes. She looked around herself, trying to grasp where she was. She was confused and her head felt like a krayt dragon had hit it. She felt her head and looked back at her hand which was stained with blood. She moved the twisted metal around her, and looked to the driver seat. She squirmed to get out, observing that her father had hit a bantha. A bantha! Of all things. She held her shoulder which hurt extremely badly. She stumbled to the driver’s seat in a panic. She cried. Asch wasn’t responding to anything. She wasn’t sure how far back the city would be, but she needed to get some sort of help. She ran back, and the rest of the night was a blur.
Alone now, the next year was a horrible year for her. Dealing with the depression of losing her dad was hard enough, let alone now completely having to take care of herself and Kara.But she was making it fine, and found herself dating a guy named Laynce. Their relationship lasted about 6 months. Zee had moved up in the Cantina to helping prepare the food in the back, and she was decent at it.
20-present
At the age of twenty she was doing well. Single and happy. She took care of Kara and they went everywhere together because Zee didn’t have any urge to get a speeder. She was doing well at the bar and was able to easily support herself and her dewback. Moving up once more in the cantina, she found herself becoming a bar tender. She had several relationships, short ones, nobody seemed right for her. This didn’t slow her down. Only in her early twenties, she knew she had plenty of time to waste looking for a guy. Her most recent ex had taken her out hunting, which she had taken a liking to and now did as a pass time. She even found her way down to a pod race a couple times. She lives closer in town now, within walking distance to the cantina. it has a big enough space outside to hold Kara.
RP Sample:
She was running through trees, running as fast as she could. She was unsure of what planet she was on but something was chasing her. She tore through trees and came to a screeching halt as a cloaked figure jumped before her. She spun and ran the opposite direction, now she was running through the Jundland Wastes, scrambling up the rocks, pebbles being kicked from her feet as she tried to grip the rocks. She hauled herself up to the top, only to meet the cloaked figure, who was laughing. She dove off, into the ocean below, it was raining and the currents were too strong. She slipped under the surface. Zandra’s head tore off the pillow, she gasped for air, clutching a thin white sheet to her chest. Her aquatic colored eyes scanned her room, hoping the cloaked figure wouldn’t be there. These dreams were becoming more frequent. She rubbed her face and eyes with her palms as if rubbing the sleep off. She yawned and stretched, tossing the sheet aside. Her alarm clock went off, and she turned it off. Just on time. She got up on her feet. She had small black shorts on and a small white tank top. She strode across her room and to the bathroom and showered. She put on new clothes, a light tan, tight fitting shirt and loose brown cargo pants along with her brown boots. Kara grunted, and Zee walked out into her enclosure and gave her food then filled the water troft. She gave Kara attention and love then trotted back inside, checking the time. She did her hair in a clean crisp fashion with loose curls making sure her blonde hair looked flawless, put on a light amount of makeup, and snatched her bag, locking her front door and began heading to the cantina for work. She walked in and was greeted by her boss. They set up everything and wiped down tables, preparing for the day. The typical morning on a work day.
***Fun fact from Marlin: "Kara" is the name of Zee's dewback, however, "Kara" is also my dog Dakara's nickname.***
