Back story: Chi’ara is the youngest daughter of her clan’s Chief which to the rest of the clan makes her worthless. The Tuskars are seen as a feral sub-human race with only a very basic form of speech they hunt the wild for meat and furs and live in caves or high quality huts made from pelts and bones. Being seen as worthless she always tried to prove her worth going out on hunts alone but even when she was successful her skill was never rewarded. She was out hunting the day that the Galactic State Marines arrived at Syriff’s farm. She would usually hunt there and from experience knew that Syriff and his grandfather were not a threat, but on this day there where strangers in the field outside his house. Curious Chi’ara approached the marines and was rewarded by her curiosity with a graze from a laser, she let out a shrill cry as the marines chased her. Syriff heard the noise and ran to her aid, quickly through her over his shoulder and ran back to the house. Syriff fough bravely to protect both his sickly grandfather and Chi’ara but whilst running for his grandfathers room he took a laser blast to his legs. Chi’ara seen him take the blast and went berserk cutting down three of the marines in a tremendous blur of tusks, blood and claws, she seem to almost fly around the room. As she appeared at Syriff’s side she was taken by surprise and easily restrained, she thrashed and continued thrashing whilst the leader killed Syriff’s grandfather in front of them. Chi’ara’s hair and eyes began to glow a magnificent red as she cried out a blood curdling scream but was rendered unconscious by the butt of the marine’s rifle.

She awoke to find herself in a strange place with Syriff asleep by her side, she checked the old building they were in and determined it was safe, returning to Syriff’s side where she curled up with her hair lighting the room a dim purple. She guarded Syriff until he woke and determined to stay by his side she followed him in his revolution and escaped the prison planet. Now Syriff vows to avenge his grandfather and Chi’ara intends to help him do so.
