[New Dawn : Characters ] Ydaphe
Bio: Ydaphe was born in 35 NE on Dirwal, a small planet located in the Nyenyl system. The only daughter of the head of her tribe, Ydaphe's life was laid out before her. She would be taught the old ways, molded into a ruler of people, and then given a mate worthy of her.
At the age of 13, Ydaphe received her tiger tattoos (part of the Nahri coming of age ceremony), and preparations were made for her to marry the son of the head of a neighboring tribe.
Shortly before the wedding took place, Ydaphe was abducted by slavers, where she was groomed to be a very special slave indeed. She was taught all sorts of subjects- everything from serving as a guide, to the art of dancing. For nearly two years, she spent the bulk of her life in a small cell, beaten and assaulted when her captors felt like it.
Near her 16th birthday, she was to be auctioned off, as the slavers felt that they'd molded her into a valuable commodity. At the auction, she was bought by Sabi Flyrre, and returned to her homeworld. Surprisingly, Ydaphe was not put off by her experience at the hands of offworlders. Just as she had seen that some were cruel, Sabi showed her that others could be gracious.
While her family wanted her to remain and take her place as the head of her tribe, they understood her desire to better understand the galaxy at large. And so, she became a Guardian of the Light, a non-Force using student of Sabi's.
As a Guardian, Ydaphe was typically left at the temple while the Jedi went off to do their business, and spent the bulk of that time learning- everything from basic studies to Jedi Lore. While not the strongest at traditional combat, she excels at archery and acrobatics.
She accompanied the Silver Imperium delegation to Semakas, where she served in a diplomatic role. After Semakas, she returned to her homeworld to announce her intention to remain with the Jedi. There has been some discussion at the Jedi Council as to what to do with Ydaphe, as it has recently come to light that she is Force Sensitive. However, given her knowledge of the 'Ancient Language,' it seems likely that she will become a Scholar.
Character Notes: Ydaphe is an optimist. She's survived the worst of humanity, and firmly believes that there is still much good in the galaxy. She's shouldered the burden of being a near-deity to her people (they believe that her family line is descended from the gods), as well seeing that she's the little sister in her Jedi family. Fortunately she's found a kindred spirit in Ruo, who though coming from a tribe of a very different background (the Semakani are far more warrior-like than the Nahri), they have a very similar outlook on life.
