Name: Maylis Vataan
Race: Human
Age: 12
Height: 4'10"
Weight: 97 lbs
(not my picture- it's from deviant art)
Appearance: Maylis has light amber eyes and pale skin. Her dirty-blonde hair frames her face and she keeps it cut at a medium-length (just past her ears). Her face is rather thin for someone her age.
She is somewhat short and diminutive. She could be considered 'cute,' due to her young age. Freckles are spread over her cheeks, nose, and shoulders, and she has a small, pale birthmark with no particular shape under her left eye.
She is not physically strong, even for her age, and thus lacks any defined musculature. She is rather small.
She wears the plain outfit for a youngling: a plain brown cloak with a brown tunic and brown pants, a black belt tied over her cloak.
Altogether, her build causes her to look slight and breakable. Her movements are graceful, though, as if a calm breeze moves her. Her step is light.
Her hands are relatively small, even for her size. He fingers are short, though not stocky. It is expected that when she makes her own lightsaber it will be slightly more slender than average.
She has an unsure look and a kind face. Though she isn't very striking or noticeable, she does have one shining characteristic: she can be very charming-looking when she smiles. Her large amber eyes light up and dimples form on her cheeks as her lips curve, her disheveled smile curving mainly on the left.
Personality: Maylis is quiet, and especially shy around superiors. She does not usually assert herself, and easily caves to pressure or a loud voice. She thrives in the contemplative air of the study halls.
Though she is especially interested in the defensive arts, she hasn't had any formal training in the actual practice of these topics, but has studied them on her own from the books readily available to her. Her introverted attitude causes her to withdraw into long periods of study during the few breaks in her training.
She believes that her habit of being a wallflower has caused her to remain a youngling as long as she has, and she doesn't go out of her way to make herself noticed by the masters or knights. But she's fine with that, because she knows that many of her classmates are more skilled than her, especially in combat. She is decent in her training battles with the droids, though she would much rather avoid conflict. Though, she feels that this is in line with the Jedi way, and doesn't worry about her lack of aggression.
She is a bit naive, for better or for worse. She is trusting of just about anybody in a Jedi robe, regardless of species, rank, or gender, which could be expected of a youngling who has never known life outside of the Temple. She tends not to see the worst in people and has little experience with people with uncontrolled tempers, aside from the tantrums she saw children throw when she was younger.

Bio: Age 0-1
Maylis was taken into the academy basically at birth. Since she was born on Coruscant, she was given a blood test to check her midichloreans when she was born. When the representative told her parent the news, Maylis's mother was more than glad to give her into their custody. It wasn't that she was heartless, but that she was poor and unable to afford raising a baby on her own. Her husband had just been killed: he had been a civil service worker.
Age 2-6
Maylis clung to her caregivers and rarely played with children her age, choosing instead to play with simple droids and the educational toys provided for her. She spoke very little, but her grasp of written language was phenomenal. In fact, the only time she spoke at length was when she would read to other curious younglings out-loud. Maylis was happy to help them understand, even at the age of four.
She began training with a lightsaber a little while after that, just before her fifth birthday. She was nervous, at first, but she trusted her teachers, who told her that her sword was much less powerful than the 'real' ones.
At six, she found that her preferred practice was rebounding shots fired at her by the training droids. She began to read more into the defensive skills at that point.
Age 7-10
Maylis continued her studies into the defensive skills, and eventually expounded on her knowledge of Soresu. Though she knew of it only in theory and never really practiced it with a true lightsaber, she tried to at least get the poses down, as they were depicted in the books that she read.
When she was 8, Maylis became friends with a girl the same age as her, named Ninyel. Ninyel was much more of a leader, and stood her ground. She was Maylis's self-appointed guardian and she stood up for her when others would pick on Maylis for her shy nature.
At age 10, Maylis began to dream of the outside world. She loved the Temple, to be sure, but the few glimpses and mentionings of other worlds that came to her from her books excited her imagination. Ninyel was much more of a dreamer, though, and would build wild stories about other planets and species that Maylis was sure didn't exist. But that was no matter. It was harmless fun, and a great way to pass the time. Maylis has been ferociously curious ever since about the galaxy outside the Temple, but was definitely afraid of it, too. After all, she'd spent all of her life here in the Temple. If she left it, she would be leaving her shelter, the one place she knows is secure.
Age 11-12 (now)
When she was 11, Ninyel found a master. She said her goodbyes to Maylis and left, and Maylis didn't see her at any point after that. Maylis tried her best to be happy for Ninyel, but she still missed Ninyel terribly. It just wasn't the same to try and make up different species on her own.
Maylis was worried that she wouldn't find a master, but that didn't cause her to try and act out while Knights and Masters were around. She decided that a master would find her if it was meant to be.
She trained diligently and still read about Soresu, as well as healing techniques. She figured that if she didn't find a master, she would be put in the medicorps, which would suit her just fine. Besides, she wasn't one for aggressive situations and enjoyed helping people.
