Description
Appearance:
Diamee is Zeltron woman in her early 20s. She possesses rosey tinted skin, a trait typical for her people and blue eyes. Diamee has bleached her hair and dyed it platnuim blonde as well as had a bright blinding blue streak colored into her bangs with touches of the same blue dye at the tips of her shoulder lenght locks.
She stands at a height of 5' 5" and has a rather nice slim femine figure which she likes to accentuate with very revealing clothing. Typically she's seen wearing some brightly colored top that has a low neckline and shows off her stomach and some form of hip hugging pants with boots of one bright color or another. Diamee has several piercings on her ears and tends to wear a variety of colorful earring to match her mood, most of which lack a match. She also has a belly button ring in at most times and tends to wear rather vibrant makeup, notably her bright blue lipsick and eyeshadow.
Class/Skills/Attributes:
Equipment:
Typically she carries nothing more on her than what she would consider 'the essentials' including a variety of cosmetics, credits, and a commlink. She possesses no weapons of any true sort although she can occasionally be found with a survival knife on her if likely to be in a more wild or unsettled area. Needless to say she wouldn't use the knife for anything but survival.
Starship(s):
Her first ship, the Lonely Star, was a complete piece of junk. In her rush to leave Coruscant, she made a hasty purchase while being driven on by a smooth talking starship salesman to find that the ships navigation computer was broken and it suffered various other problems. The ship wound up in a Sith ambush near the planet of Felucia and rather promptly crashed on the planet below. It's currently rotting in the jungles of Felucia in its unsalvageable state.
Skills:
Diamee possesses a basic knowledge of self defense as well as various survival realted skills such as tracking, navigating terrain, and identifying various flora and fauna or well which are dangerous and should be avoided and which could be helpful. Being a Zeltron, she is empathic as well as able to project her emotions on those around her to a degree.
Having been raised in a higher class family, she learned the arts of 'being proper' from a young age this included such things as manners, eating habits, more formal dancing, etc... although typically she neglects them entirely out of habit from her more rebellious years unless she feels inclined to actually behave. A frequenter of clubs in her slightly earlier years, she's picked up on more 'modern' less 'refined' forms of dancing as well. Being a rather girly girl and despite her typically way too vibrant choices in that department, she's adept in the areas of makeup and hair care as well.
Character
Appearances in Fiction:
Fireheart Ep. 5: Old Wounds New Beginnings
Fireheart Ep. 6: You Can't Take the Sky from Me
Personality:
Bubbly would be a good discription of Diamee's personality. She's a very outgoing girl and a social butterfly which come in part with being a Zeltron. When around people she likes or wants to accept her, she tends to be a bit more upbeat, and nosey and talkative. At times she seems to skip around in her train of thoughts randomly and needless to say she has trouble keeping her thoughts to herself.
Lacking inhibitions, if she wants something she tends to get it or at least attempt of course typically whatever she wants can't invovle hurting others. Due to her empathic nature, a Zeltron trait, she greatly dislikes being the source of any negative emotions. If people around her are down she'll quickly attempt to raise their mood. When large groups of people are feeling negative emotions, she tends to shut down completely.
When in more trying situations, Diamee tends to cling to others for a solution unless that situation involves saving creatures or retreat back into her shell. She's quite the creatures' right advocate and pretty active on the idea that violence isn't always the answer. When around people she truly dislikes or hates or is on the rare occasion angry with someone, her demeanor changes completely, she won't talk much at all, any hint of a bubbly personality is quickly replaced with a clear display of spite or pouting.
Relationships:
Being a Zeltron, Diamee has had a few past relationships most of which have been plastic and superficial due to a physical attraction and little more although all occured prior to her unfortunate little trip through Felucia's jungles. Most recently she has become involved with Rou Marigold Harper.
Beliefs:
Diamee views creatures she's familiar with such as her Zalaaca, Zeek to be on the same level as sentients. She would classify Zeek on the level of a friend and not a pet and would even refrain from classifying him as such. If one harms a wild creature without warrant not as protection or food, she views it as deterimental to the ecosystem and a shame. She has a strong belief that violence while handy at times isn't a necessity and should be avoided at all costs and honestly she would depending on the situation be inclined to throw herself in harms' way to protect a perfect stranger or a creature she deems to have not warranted such a response. If she eats meat, it has to be from a creature she knows was farm raised just for that indended purpose or purely in order to survive. After her trip to Felucia though, her outlook on violence has been shifting. She isn't really sure what to make of it anymore especially after learning that those who inflict violence aren't necessarily the monsters they're made out to be.
Quotes/Mottos:
"You wouldn't happen to be locals by chance would you?"
"Blue is definitely your color."
"Now that truly would be telling."
History
Backstory:
Early Life
Born to a well off family on Zeltron and an only child, Diamee has been raised under a very pampered roof. While growing up on Zeltron she was quick to find herself enjoying her peoples' rather hedonistic lifestyle. At the age of 14 however her father, having been slowly progressing up the political tree found himself with a spot as the Zeltronian ambassador on Coruscant and things quickly began to change. Moving to Coruscant was disheartening to the young girl, she felt she'd gone from a place where the galaxy always seemed bright and cheery to one where everything was drab and restricted. The young girl was rather quick to learn that people on Coruscant didn't share the same values as the ones back home on Zeltros much to her dismay and after a few years of attempting to adjust to the new climate, she began to fall into a cycle of rebellion.
Teens Are Never Happy
Her father, who found hunting for sport a great way to connect with others for business purposes, attempted to reconnect with his daughter by taking her on such trips after noting her rather evident interest in biology from her school work. Captivated by the bizzare sights and lifeforms of alien planets, Diamee quickly fell in love with the prospect of being off the city world of Coruscant and in a wilder setting. She didn't however react well when her father began killing the wildlife with his friends and pressured her to do the same. Rather embarrassed that his daughter wasn't enjoying the sport like the others, her father elected to focus on survival skills instead. Rather enjoying those lessons, she was quick to pick up on everything she could absorb on the topic often burrying her head in books when she was home regarding flora, fauna, terrain and other matters. Adapting such skills for city life to a degree, she began going on 'expeditions' out of the well kept high class area she was raised in when she was able to sneak off to find herself enjoying slightly shadier aspects of Coruscant life... even though by most standards her definition of shady would still be extremely tame and upper class. Clubs soon became her hang outs, her friends shifted from snooty politicians' kids to a slightly seedier sort and when taken off on hunting trips she began to take an active role in clearing the wildlife from the area long before her father and company arrived while purposely missing shots at other times.
Her father and mother became increasingly concerned with their once bubbly daughter's sudden change in mood to something much more somber, spiteful, and arguementative likely in part due to bitterness that she'd been moved from Zeltros, disapproval of her father's behavior and her family's slight attempts to let go of their culture a bit to fit in better with the galactic norm on Coruscant, and in concert with her highly empathic nature. Increasing the number of trips taken off Coruscant, she wound up with her father hunting on Naboo. During the trip they stumbled across a Zalaaca and Diamee instantly fell in love with the creatures. Her father however promptly shot one, bringing the girl to tears and in a state of utter distress. Deciding to make it up to his daughter and feeling horrible for the state he put her in, he made several trips to Naboo hiring other trackers and trappers until he was able to capture a young Zalaaca. Returning to Coruscant with the beast in tow, he presented it to his daughter and one could say it was a connection at first sight. Between the Zeltron's ability to project and sense emotions and her growing knowledge of biology Diamee was able to rather quickly bond with the creature. As the young Zalaaca, which she called Zeek began to grow and Diamee continued to progress through the nearby university studying zoology and ecology though issues arose. Her parents' apartment on Coruscant while spacious wasn't large enough to accomadate the creature and the girl's gift of projecting emotions soom became a bit of a curse. When she would arrive home angry, the monster would react in tune often ripping furniture to shreds or attacking various servants.
Her parents finally deciding that there was no real other alternative elected to have the creature 'sent off to Cousin Anabelatrix's home back on Zeltros'. Diamee in a rage called up Anabelatrix to discover that no such thing had been mentioned to her and quickly realized that her parents were going to have her what now she considered a friend put down. In a rush, the girl decided it was time to make plans to leave, that she'd had enough. Diamee began taking flying lessons and reading up on other systems which might be better suited for her pet. When the day came to leave, the first thing on her agenda was to acquire credits, finding herself rather happy to have befriended several slicers she was able to make a rather large withdrawal from her parents' bank account transferring generous portions to her slicer friends. The next matter on her agenda was acquiring a ship, unfortunately a rather sleek salesman noting her clear inexperience took her for a sucker and sold her a complete piece of junk, the Lonely Star,... she would discover that just because a ship looks shiny doesn't mean it could fly worth anything later. Returning home she went to 'take Zeek for a walk' where she stashed him in the Lonely Star. She then quickly went to have her long dark red locks dyed to its current blonde and blue state and chopped off to around shoulder length assuming that it would be easier should her parents attempt to track her down... since as a politician the last thing her father would want would be the image of his 'happy little family' ruined harming his reputation.
Felucia is Not a Nice Place
Successfully having left Coruscant, the young Zeltron woman programmed in the coordinates for Taanab... unfortunately she'd never get there. The poorly crafted ship instead came out of hyperspace over Felucia in the middle of a space battle between a small group of Republic forces and a Sith fleet. In a panic and lacking any real solid piloting skills, she wound up crashing the Lonely Star on the planet's surface, where her first real lesson on how the real galaxy works would begin.
Stumbling out of the wrecked ship surprizingly relatively unharmed since the ship was rather able to absorb the impact due to its collpsable nature, Diamee and Zeek promptly bumped into a protocol droid who notified her that a Republic ship had crashed nearby and led her and the Zalaaca back to the encampment. Arriving there, she was greeted with many stares, needless to say no one expected a Zeltron girl to crash in such a place. After a short amount of time in camp rather admiring the flora of the planet, she discovered the shuttle had been transporting a senator who had befriended her father. After a pause, the senator recognised her and attempted to engage her in casual conversation and to discover how she'd wound up there but Diamee after a few short responses was able to avoid the man entirely. She now had the growing worry that the man would be able to inform her family as to what exactly she'd done and of her new appearance despite her primary concern of getting off the jungle planet.
Oh Sith Aren't so Bad
Quickly becoming bored with the Republic camp and the downtrodden spirit about it which she had been unable to lift, she wandered off with Zeek to scout figuring that she'd be able to catch back up to the camp without any problem... not heading the warning of Sith possibly landing on the planet to track the Republic Senator down, she simply let the group head on while she trailed back through the pack and began exploring the terrain behind them. Roaming through the wilds, the young woman bumped into a Sith watch which promptly held her at gunpoint before their leader arrived. Fortunately for the young Zeltron, the leader of the encampment was Trisskar, a young human female Sith apprentice, who upon seeing her mens' looks in regards to the girl gave a strict order to not lay a finger on her a bit to Diamee's disappointment.
Under the guard of two of the more trusted soldiers in the group, Diamee quickly found herself bored and rather thankful that they weren't going to attempt to kill Zeek and enjoying the fact that no one truly regarded her as a threat allowing her to just roam through camp. Fortunately though Sadik of The Bladeborn became an item of amusement. Rather enjoying the company of the nice looking Sith, she took him up on an offer of self defense lessons after it became rather apparent that she had no knowledge on the topic. Her basic self defense lesson were a source of entertainment for the soldiers especially on the occasion of her accidentally kicking the Sith in a rather sensitive area. A bit to Diamee's dismay, the Sith proved to be a bit more interested in Trisskar at the time despite her efforts so she rather settled for friends.
Nevermind They Are
When the Sith encampment finally caught back up to the Republic surviviors though, reality flooded back in. Caught between the two dramatically different waves of emotions, the sorry and downtrodden feeling of the Republic survivors who had escaped the apparent cave in of the temple nearby and the triumphant satisfaction of the Sith troops she was in, Diamee quickly found herself regretting ever having crashed on the planet. Hearing Trisskar order that Diamee be taken back by the Republic camp, the young woman paniked. Using the selfdefense Sadik had taught her, she termporarily incapacitated the soldiers dragging her back towards the Republic camp before clinging on Sadik. Fear of being forced to return to Coruscant where Zeek would be put down had her begging for the Sith to take her with them. Fortunately any attempt to convince her was eased when a Mandalorian Bounty Hunter who had arrived on Felucia to kill the Senator shot the man right before the young girl sending her into a state of shock having never seen or explicity felt anyone die before. Being handed over for the second time she didn't protest, just moved along empty while the Zalaaca followed.
Before heading off into the jungle, Sadik left her with one last bit of advice... 'grow some thorns little flower'. The Jedi who had been with the group led Diamee off promising to take care of her and the subsequent days in the jungle before rescue arrived was far from enjoyable.
Next Stop Anywhere But Here
Finally with rescue arriving, she was told she'd be taken wherever she wanted to go... with a few members of the Senator's entourage still alive, people who had overheard her exchange and likey would inform her family of her location, she picked Nar Shaddaa. Why? Well her friends back on Coruscant had always mentioned that it was the place to go to get lost and well she rather wanted to not potentially be found. The planet wasn't quite what she expected...
OOC Information:
I've had so many people ask me 'NitWhit what the heck possessed you to make a Zeltron?' so I figured I might as well answer here. Let's just say I have several friends who are my inspiration. People far more outgoing and perky than me whom I'm surrounded by on a daily basis. Combine those friends with a bit of sorority girl stereotype and violla you have Diamee's personality. In terms of backstory. I quite frankly love Star War creatures... erh well most of them and pets. I wanted a pet for her to balance out the fact that she's nearly completely hopeless combat wise. I pondered making her more of a slicer type, with a smaller pet along the lines of a Twirrl or something but nothing quite seemed to fit the whole running away from home vibe I wanted since Diamee is in part my attempt to parody that stereotype.
Then it hit me... I have a beauty, I need a beast. Thus how I stumbled upon the Zalaaca and was like hehe it's even blue and yellow to match her hair so instead of a cute little thing I wound up with a monster. Yes yes I'll admit I'm a strange one.
