Ashala Standing in initiate robes.
Name: Ashala To
Race: Togruta
Age: Eleven.
Height: 5foot" 4inchs,
Weight: 93lbs
Appearance:
Young Face, small nimble and slim stature and size. And hollow tendrils and Montrals as any Togruta would have.
She received a long scar along her back when she slammed it into a corner horizontally, Lightly splitting the skin enough to leave the scar. It is more faded then then what she would anticipate but still clear to the keen eye. Perhaps the last thing that makes her distinct (For now...) Would be the third Tendril Slightly shorter than the others from the back of her head and running down her back while the other two lowering down her chest.
Her body is quite slim and nimble, on a body size chart she would closely resemble Cornet despite being young. Her facial features are rather opposite that her body shape. Round instead of slim while not going as far as being considered a 'Chubby face' her face has little complexion in it and is almost completely round despite a bit of gaunt appearance in her cheekbones. Ashala herself believes that Complexion and 'Gauntness' will come with age.
Personality:
Ashala is social and friendly to almost all people, uncomfortable with awkward or in her opinion "Scary looking people" and when she meets such a person she tends to be shy and frightened towards them (At least, until she becomes older)
Ashalas personality is Friendly, Curious, Independent, Clever and Keen. All five collide into one another and create a 'perfect' personality for her age. Other unmentioned personality traits would be Innocent, playful, jokingly and on some occasions she can be considered Frightened. Her fear isn't like wildfire but as of right now it seems somewhat focused on her adolescence and at any moment She could become a padawan, this sparks anxiousness and nervousness as well as small bubbles of fear.
Now as she is turning Eleven. Almost ready to raise to padawan. Her personality is ever-shifting from her usual Friendly, Curious, Independent etc... To more, Anxious, Nervous, Fearful and only projecting once: Hateful. When she is shifted into her opposite personality she is less talkative and social. These could also fail her as these traits can be considered the path to the dark-side, More or less the Fear and One moment of Hate.
In plain addition Ashala enjoys working and helping others. Further extending her Friendly personality, it would not be uncommon to see her carrying something for someone or studying extensively. She as well prefers to observe her surroundings to learn the best from them. Possibly for advantages, disadvantages, or random things.

Story before Ashala:
Her mother left their home world Shilli to pursue a better living on Coruscant ironically, she landed on Ruan a planet close to Coruscant which was known for being a refugee planet in which; Various species would come to find 'better lives'. Also ironically her mother Kitala could only land a job as a exotic dancer at a crummy bar, working along several other Togruta, with a Twi'lek being the lead 'dancer' they worked several hours during the nights taking her time to rest during the day. One faithful night she met another Refugee Togruta whom the two shared a personal bond. And got too personal Ashala's father left her mother almost soon after and Kitala could only admit that she was now pregnant with a bastard child.

One faithful night she met another Refugee Togruta whom the two shared a personal bond. And got too personal Ashala's father left her mother almost soon after and Kitala could only admit that she was now pregnant with a bastard child.
Birth - Three
Ashala was born in mid-year. Fifth month on the seventh day. A bastard child on Ruan at one of its Refugee camps to her Mother Kitala her father remained unknown. She remembered the Refugee camp quite clearly. Her mother was a exotic dancer at a bar and raised what money she could to support Ashala. Her first year alive was quite strange and everything was "Giant" to Ashala as even though she couldn't walk and was a mere baby somehow caused great mischief.
It was Two years before her Force-Sensitive abilities were sensed. At age Three-turning four. she and her mother were sitting at the dinner table. It was mothers day off and Ashala could walk at the time when Jedi arrived outside the door. Ashala barely remembered what they looked like be she would always remember their lightsabers and robes. Ashalas mother was reluctant to release her only daughter to the Jedi. But in the end was Obligated. Then she was taken, taken from all that was familiar and put on a republic ship. Escorted to the Jedi Temple, Ashala was frightened and it took a another entire year before her actual Jedi training began.
Age Four-Five
When she arrived at the temple she was assigned to a minder with a group of other Initiates. They were taught class-room lessons and Jedi history, purpose, and basic history of the republic until they would advance into more combat and force training. They continued these lessons along with Basic and Mildly-Advanced math having a recess and lunch at noon, much like a regular school. However, their recess was more based upon discussion in huddled groups or 'over' time study. Ashala quite enjoyed recess, taking her sweet time to study and 'get ahead' of the rest of Initiates even though it was impossible.
Ashala now had to know how to wield a lightsaber. She was sixth in line, watching other Initiates do it and messing up one small way or another. But when it was her turn to hold the Low-set training lightsaber, her hand lost grip. In attempt to regain it she burned her left hands knuckles leaving a burn in her skin and a partially-faded grey scar. When this happened the wound was rinsed off and was told to rest it, she refused asking to try again. Since the wound was only mild burning the mentors did not take the burn as serious. Perhaps some for children, this time. She held it almost perfectly for Initiate Standards Displaying her Quick learning. The Jedi continued her and the others lightsaber training. Learning something new every two weeks. Then given that time to almost-perfect it before moving on to another.
When her fifth age was reached with all the others they began a more different retinue. Early in the morning about 6:30. They began Force study for a hour. Then force training for a hour and a half. It then led into midday Science and Political Study. History. Lunch then study of common cultures for half a hour. Math for a half a hour. And finally physical training which included Lightsaber training for the remainder of the day until dinner at 6:30. Ending dinner they recited what they learned then had Five hour meditations before going to bed, this was certainly a large effect on her. Training was more 'harsh' than she had imagined, but her annoying can-do attitude proceeded her to continue it, and eventually phase into it no longer considering it 'harsh'. The days continued regularly like this. Only changing on Sundays and Saturdays. Saturdays, focusing more on physical training and Sundays focusing more on Force training. Both of which Canceled out one or the other. Replacing its time for either one. Her Best classes at this time would be Force Training and Physical training. And she held onto them dearly and the scar on her hand had completely faded and dissolved.
It was during a Saturday when Ashala received a second scar during Physical training. A sudden distraction followed by a lost of balance during a more Acrobatic exercise result in Ashala falling and landing on a hard corner. The force was enough to split her fragile skin, it stung for two days before settling. The wound was not serious. But still left a scar, when it happened Ashala did her best not to cry at the pain to impress her mentor. But tears did slip out, first the lightsaber burn and now this. made Ashala think she was the most unlucky initiate these years. Although as the term applied she was most likely "Making a mountain out of a mole hill" which she could only agree with. (Not with the actual phase, just its meaning. Saying she over-exaggerated)
Six-Seven
When Ashala turned six she felt. Different, lighter. Softer. In turn: Better. She proved to have become very nimble and acrobatic. But was kept at the same time as everyone, Her skill kept repressed as more natural talent than gained skill. Regardless, she practiced her Body's ability and her own flexibility at Midday Meal which also served as a sort of recess, the talent was natural to her in a way. Perhaps receiving it from her mother whom served as a Exotic Dancer, gaining her nimble and slim stature. She seemed to be scolded once in a while for doing this at lunch, regardless she continued doing it until it felt as though people were becoming impatient and angry at her.
At seven, Ashala made several friends whom she is still friends with this day but hardly gets to speak with them. All were other species, mostly human. But one was a Twi'lek and another was a Rodian. Their names: Ilie, Kenth, Gerat, Wielia'Tillis and Graeendru.
They helped each other out in their studies and training. Promising each other that they would help each other pass. A pact between a group of friends.
The carried on this pact, assisting each other at Midday lunch after lessons. Or during them. They assisted regularly which observed by their mentors saw as a good sign of teamwork. But would rather them to progress on their own, so. They stopped.
Eight-Nine
When Ashala was Eight her friends had stopped 'hanging out' as much as they once did. Only Ashala, being a social person. Would talk regularly with them. Not yet on Ashalas mind but they were more dedicated to becoming padawans at this time. The idea had passed through her thoughts, but not so much as preparing extensively for it. As such, she felt slightly neglected from her friends. And pondered her friends ignorance of each other.
Finally, she realized the same as her 'friends'. They only had Five years till they became Padawans. Now, to a regular person. This seem quite a long ways away. For Jedi, even initiates this was short. As it took all their lives so far to train the ways of the Jedi without actually becoming them. Even when they become padawans they are still taught by their masters until they become knights. So in theory their still learning. Soon Ashala became like her friends; Ignoring most things that don't involve studying.
At age of nine, she stopped worrying about perfecting it as much. And resorted to being her normal social self. Visiting and talking with some of the other Initiates at Midday Lunch. And only taking lessons or studying during the appointed time from her mentors. Other than her change. Nothing was unusual at the time of her Ninth year of life.
Plain Ten.
Ashala is ten. Turning Eleven at this point, it isn't long before Trials begin to decide whom deserves to become Padawans. Or just becomes apart of the Jedi Service Corp. Although many initiates became padawan Ashala felt anxious nervous and pressured. Focusing all-out on her training in hopes not to fail. Her Tendrils have also grown in size. Longer than before. And one of her friends: The Rodian, Graeendru whom was older than the others. Did not pass the Padawan test. And was subjected to the Jedi Service Corps.
Eleven
At Eleven, she became more determined in her study. She was Eleven now and her Padawan Ascension could be called upon at anytime: That was the trick. To catch them offguard to make sure they were skilled in the Three mandatory areas. The Jedi Code. Combat. And ability with the force. Because she was a adolescent now, It was the fact that she could at anytime leave the Underling rank of Initiate and become a Padawan. But what she didn't? What she became like her Rodian friend. Or worse, not allowed to follow the Jedi path, It haunted Ashala what she would do, but she came to the decision eventually. If she were to fail the tests she would travel across the galaxy and find a steady passive-job, which would allow her to meet numerous friends all over, but of course, this could be considered no more than a child's dreams. Also by this point she had Filled her mind with numerous Jedi Training and blocking out most if not all of her previous memory before the Jedi took her. Now onto a different subject, Her Purple eyes changing, gaining a Amethyst Glisten rather then a plain purple, and her appearance had slightly changed. A clear sign of aging into a adolescent, Which frightened her as much as it did pride her, She had undergone the Jedi Self-Control lessons, But For most of your life so-far taught a single way. Knowing that you could be cast of it, would make anyone anxious and nervous, using her training however she managed to keep it under control until they actually called upon her to become a Padawan. All she could do now was hope, hope not to fail.
=Since this is a young character, Bio regretfully ends here. Life will continue and she will age normally in this universe and if this is accepted. A character 'sheet' of sorts will go up. Which gives all this. And updates Biography every two weeks.=
RP Sample:
Ashala sat in her chair facing towards her mentor whom was currently talking about Jedi history. Unlike traditional schools, Jedi had to memorize with a fictional book inside their head instead of one on their desk. He was explaining the Fabled Hundred-Year darkness which the Sith Order first arose. And how the Jedi prevailed at the end of it. She read it before, while studying yesterday for her Padawan ascension. From what she was aware of. There was two tests, Three if you count the Combat test which included displaying Force Power and Lightsaber skills. The Second was the simple test of knowledge and dedication. Which was fairly easy to pass if you had paid attention in your lessons. Which she did, so it wasn't so much that specific test which worried her. But rather the combat. It was also the time and point where Jedi-Knights without Padawans would watch and choose potentials. So, she could as easily be alone without a master. No longer able to continue her training and most likely becoming a grey jedi or reverting to a citizen. But in her opinion, it was about 15% fine. As she could go back to her parents. After they took her from her home she had almost forgotten her mom. But didn't know whom her father was, as he had completely retreated from her mind. All the Initiates were paying close attention to the Mentor. Including her. They stared with ears open tracing his movements and writing down each word he said in their "Mental Textbook" before long, Midday Meal started. The Mentor stopped Mid-sentence then continued to finish at a period. Then dismissing her and her fellow younglings to midday lunch.
It was gloomy in the hall this time around. All the Initiate clans of ten came together on the one time of the day to eat and chat together. But she wasn't focused on that. She could become a padawan at any moment at this time. She was no longer a youngling. But a adolescent. Either if it took another year or five minutes to ascend and be placed under the care of a master, she was anxious. She was sure almost all Initiates would be at this time, or just self-centered proud. She ate her Midday lunch before having to return to her lessons.
After the Meal she was seated in front of her Mentor. Who continued explaining the Hundred-Year Darkness and the Rise of the Sith order. It didn't take long for him to finish. As though he was ending the paragraph just before midday meal but was to late and he couldn't finish. But as soon as he was they proceed into Physical fitness and Lightsaber training. Ashala passed on averagely with the lightsaber as all the others did as well. But proved to be 'better' than everyone else when it came to the more acrobatic instances. The day today seemed to whizz by today. And before she knew it she was falling asleep after her Meditation. Another day gone, Tomorrow. Unpredictable now that she was a adolescent.
