Name: Oona'rha
Age: 19
Species: Twi'lek
Race: Tolian (Gold) & Tyrian (Lavender) - one is colour dye and one is the true skintone
Eyes: Blue
Body Type: Slim
Height: 5'8
Home World: Ryloth
Personality: gentle, brave in closed spaces, vain, studious and peaceful
Occupation: Jedi Padawan
Weapon: Powder Purple lightsaber
Wardrobe: A white body-suit with short sleeves (like a summer's day t-shirt) with a corset like twi'lek flesh-wrap but a very little showing flesh one in the middle of her body which starts from her neck (giving her a high neck collar) to her above hip area and then from there she wears cropped trousers/pants which go just passed her knees and on her feet she wears long boots.
Headgear: She wears a matching white headdress which looks like a Lekku-wrap and a Grand Head Piece. She wears a leather headband around her head and ears like a lekku-wrap. Like a grand head piece she has four straps (two on each side) upon the top of her head where her lekku root bumps are attached to her skull. Unlike the lekku-wrap she doesn't have ribbons wrapped around her lekku tails and unlike a grand head piece, the straps upon her head aren't made of metal instead they are ribbons. The rest of her lekku is bare. 

Little is known about the life she led before she entered the Jedi Temple. But what is known is she had suffered the fate that all Twi'lek women had gone through at some point in their lives. She had been sold at a slave market under the hot desert sun of Ryloth. Her master had business to attend to before he was able to take her home with him. So he promised to return the next day. Oona was kept in restraints and slept there through the night. Through some strange miracle she broke out of her restraints and escaped her fate. The girls watched her flee but didn't dare follow her, nor did they let out a whisper to their masters about the escape or which direction she ran down. In the end Oona's master blamed the slaver, killed him and took the remaining slave girls as an alternative. No one chased Oona.

She moved from Ryloth to Yavin 4, living a peace life. Then one day when picking fruit she realised she was force sensitive and everything finally fit into place. She had used the force to escape from slavery.

She had heard of a great temple somewhere on the planet where they trained Jedi. She eventually found them and was tested. Her master was a human woman with a lot experience. Oona found peace, comfort and learned a lot. The jedi temple became her spiritual home.

When it came to venturing into the caves, she re-lived her suffering from arguing with her father over tradition to being abused when she first caught by the slaver. She constructed a purple lightsaber from a dusty crystal that looked like a "diamond in the rough."

One day the temple was attacked from the outside. The masters gathered up all of the padawans and attempted to get them to safety fighting along the way. Oona being a gentle soul didn't want to use her lightsaber, but as the battle went on she had no choice.

Finally they got to higher ground. Oona fought as much as she could before she lost her footing and fell into a lake. When she pulled herself out, all of the gold dye had melted off leaving her with her original purple skintone. Which she thought was ugly and it branded her as something she was not. Purple Twi'leks were stereotyped as being passionate lovers of the performing arts, simply because that was their form of worship and being rare were targeted by slavers because forced dancers of other colours were too feisty for some masters.

It was also troubling for her new friends. Though she was seemingly innocent, a few thought she was a spy.

The battle ended. Whether Oona left the temple or continued training is a mystery. But the temple wasn't as peaceful as it was before.
When MSN groups were up I found a role-play game centred around the jedi only. I had never played a jedi before. I think it was set in the new republic before the Yuuzhan Vong. Her name was inspired by Oona the fairy (Legend movie 1985) and Sienn'rha, Oola's friend. Back then the Twi'lek Lexicon didn't exist so finding or creating a name was really hard.

This is a Lekku-wrap: [link]
This is a Grand Head Piece: [link]
This is a flesh-wrap: [link]

When it comes to factions and Star Wars I prefer playing civilians as neutral or republic but generally keeping away from the galactic wars, inner-battles that revolve around the character and the types of people she meets is fine though.

This could be fleshed out a bit more. You should want people to be able to see your character, you have a nice back-story but it leaves much to be wished for about the character. That's the thing about RP characters, unless you go into detail about them people just come up with the most random looks possible that look nothing like what you saw. If you'd like to see a more advanced one you can look through my stuff. I have Star Wars information packets to further your lightsaber concept as well as other information. Could you link me to the Twi'lek lexicon, and is it supported by Lucas studios or is it just a fan made thing?
