@fromshili | wanted a starter.
“You know,” Doc started, a smirk on his features, blaster in hand, “Life is never boring.”
The two imperials bore forward, but the medic gave an easy shrug.
“Especially not with you, gorgeous. Kinda wish we were on Shili, though.”
The imperial’s blaster fire was redirected with ease, one ricocheting back and skimming their thigh. “I thought you liked looking like a hero?” Even in battle, there was the ghost of a grin on her lips.
I feel like I either need to move Kiha to my multi muse, or her own blog (which would be silly, right? cause i made my multi for situations like this but at the same time i feel like she deserves her own blog ??? im... idk)

///// ;; “This is an ODD place for a rescue mission jedi.” He leans over one of the bodies picking up its comm-link and looks at something as he gets up. “No I am not a friend of the IMPERIALS, if I was their friend, you would be dead, also I have been watching you since you landed, and for a jedi, you are not very QUIET.”
“The Imperials seem to think I’m quiet enough. He,” she gestured towards the dead man, “was the first to spot me and that’s because the way around his patrol goes through a heavy base.” Besides the force, she had her innate sense as a Togruta at her disposal and was able to sense the movements of rodents to Imperials. If she wanted to make noise, it was because she planned on it. “I do not pick where Imperials take their hostages. Why are you here?”

She was tense enough (through missing Han, fearing for Han, fearing for Luke, among a multitude of other concerns that had gifted her with a raging and frequent bout of insomnia) without the extra threat on what had promised to be a quiet night at base. Leia stepped into the light, clutching her coat tight around her with fierce fingers.
"Do you take delight in nearly sending others into cardiac arrest?!”
Definitely not an intruder. “Princess, I’m sorry,” she replied apologetically, her guard lowering. Humans tended to look the same to her, but she had tried her best to make note of the important ones that were part of the rebellion. “I do not take.. delight in it, no. Not unless they happen to be an Imperial.” Which she obviously wasn’t.
“Are you alright?”

Silently as it tried, Kihanda felt a presence moving through the area and sending vibrations across the ground. She turned towards, keenly aware of the figure yet not able to see it directly. A Togruta was always knowledgeable of their surroundings, more so than most species. It was an especially helpful trait when surviving in a galaxy controlled by the Empire.
“Show yourself.” Her stance shifted, the majority of her weight now resting on the soles of her bare feet. If there was an attack, she would be ready for it.
Day 5: Sexuality & Gender
Describe how you think about your character’s sexuality and gender. How would they talk about their sexuality/sexual inclinations or lack thereof? What is their gender and why? Are they cis or nonbinary? If they are nonbinary, what is their designation and when did they realize it?
Well, as per my own headcanons [here], Togruta view gender differently than humans. It doesn’t make sense to me that an alien species would come to the exact same conclusions as humans when it comes to gender binary. In fact, even on our own planet the gender binary is a recent, and very western thing from my understanding, view of gender. Lots of cultures have third genders and more. But, we’re not here to talk about that specifically.
Anyway, for a basic summary, Togruta don’t identify with a gender binary but instead, as their culture is heavily influenced by nature, they identify with different parts of nature. Soil, plants, turu grass, trees, water, oceans, possibly even animals? The different identities are encouraged because, like nature, the Togruta need every part to come together and serve the group as a whole. The rains grow plants which they can use to create goods they need, trees are used for shelter, etc. Kihanda herself identifies as a tree. However, she was raised in a community that speaks Basic, which doesn’t allow for their cultural nuances and has a gender binary, so she often uses she/her and identifies female just to make things simple for herself.
Recognizing her identity was something that happened relatively early in her life. All Togruta are raised with the idea of identifying with an aspect of nature and it is something she carried with her even as she was taken to train as a Jedi. It felt natural to her to identify with trees because, in her culture, they are seen as safe harbor and providing protection as well as rooted and firm. It’s those connotations that she identifies with the most so it wasn’t hard for her to realize it.
Sexuality is... a headcanon I haven’t thought of much, but I imagine Kiha as attracted to anyone, regardless of how they identify. However, it’s also not something she indulges in a lot, being a Jedi and all.

“You’re entirely too kind for taking us in,” Drakic murmured, offering the Togruta a smile, “and I must offer my gratitude in any way I can. Adamaris will take some time to warm up to you, but I know she will, eventually.”
“I couldn’t leave you two alone. And don’t worry, it’s understandable to be wary of someone new.” She had certainly had a similar attitude to Adamaris when she was young. “How long have you two been on your own?”
n1hr1k:
Nihrik turned his head and ‘looked’ directly at (or rather down at) the Togruta, with a warm, almost fatherly smile. It appeared the blind man was not actually blind at all … did he ‘see’ by hearing? It would explain those large rapidly flickering ears of his … “Oh, I’ll be alright. But I appreciate your concern!”
It took a moment, but Kiha quickly realized he was more than he seemed. Perhaps, like herself, he was not so blind, despite the obvious status of his eyes. Even if you blinded her, she could still see with the senses of her montrals. From the way his ears flicked, she could guess it might be the same for him. “Even so, I’d hate to leave anyone alone against people like that.” It was just her nature.
@twilekisms;
“You’re very good.” Kihanda hadn’t been able to take her eyes off of the twi’lek if she was being honest. Dancing was something she deeply enjoyed herself. It called to her roots. This dancing was different, but pleasing to her senses all the same.

Day 4: Mind Matters
Briefly describe your OC’s mental state. Are they neurotypical or neuroatypical? Do they have any mental illnesses or a history with mental illness? How do they handle stress? Are they Force-sensitive or Force-blind? Does this effect their mental state?
I haven’t delved into this too much with her but Kihanda does not experience a lot of mental problems. As far as she knows, her family does not have a history of it either, but due to the way Togruta are raised, and the fact that she was taken away to train as a Jedi at a young age, she does not know for certain. She has learned to handle stress through meditation in nature when possible. She is force sensitive and might even appear more so because of how she can sense the world around her through her montrals. It does not affect her mental state too much since in most verses she trained to handle her ability to use the force.
Day 3 : Species & Demonym
Talk about your OC’s species and demonym. A demonyn is the name for an inhabitant of a specific place, in this case their planet of birth, such as Tarisian (from Taris) or Mantellian (from Ord Mantell). How do they define their demonym? Do they have one? What influence does it have on their identity?
For Species: Do they have a sense of connection with others of their species? Were they raised with their own species or in a more diverse community? Do they follow any traditions or customs that are species-specific?
For Demonym: Do they feel a sense of connection to their planet of birth? Does the planet’s history and society effect them? Do they follow any traditions or holidays from their home planet?
I guess the demonyn would be Shilian? Her species being Togruta. As far as being from Shili, in most verses Kiha does not have a strong connection to this at first and it’s a source of conflict for her. She wants that connection. She wants to feel like she belongs to her culture and her planet. Yes, she has the Force, and being around nature is good, but it’s not the same as her fond memories from when she did live on Shili, even though they fade more each day. The fact is that she was raised away from home in a more diverse group and it made her feel alone.
As for her species, it runs along similar lines. She wishes she was more connected to her species and their customs. When she was younger, she read the Jedi archives about Togruta, but it was never enough and the information was often lacking. She actually goes back to Shili at some point to try to reconnect and find what she’s been missing. She even undergoes the adulthood rite of passage and after that is when she first starts to wear her own akul teeth headdress. Even before that she walked barefoot because Togruta, who revere nature, are taught from a young age to feel nature beneath their feet. It is a custom she practices all the time, weather permitting.

Day 2: Physical Status
Briefly describe your character’s physical appearance. Are they able-bodied or disabled? Are they comfortable with their looks/body, or did they wish their body was different? Do they have any significant scars? How fit are they?
Cybernetics: Does your character have any cybernetic enhancements or replacements? Where they replacements for limbs lost in combat/accident or did your character choose to ‘upgrade’ themselves?
Kihanda is able-bodied and fit. Her Jedi training was taken very seriously and, when she wasn’t learning, she would be outside and active. Her looks are not something she has ever been concerned about as she was not socialized to be so, at least not in the traditional sense. Instead, she felt alienated growing up due to being one of the few Togruta padawans. However, she has never wished to be different.
She has a few scars here and there, scrapes along her arms and hands from climbing, mishandling training weapons, and learning to control her lightsaber, just as brief examples. Weather permitting, she goes barefoot. She rarely suffers cuts or abrasions on her feet since they have their own natural armor. It is rare to find her with shoes. She does not have any cybernetics.
Togruta are mammals and thus warm blooded creatures. The give birth to live young. However, unlike most other species, they willingly raise their young communally to impress upon them the importance of working together as a unit. From a young age, all the children born in the same season are kept in their own nursery of sorts. At first, the adults will provide what they need. This includes prepared meat, clothes, and other necessities.
As the group grows, they are given more responsibilities. They learn to provide for themselves by learning how to sew their own clothing, prepare food, clean their own space, and generally pitch in as a group effort. This completes the chores quickly and gives them more time to start learning. Namely this involves the basics of hunting, learning the land, and how to navigate it. They can even gather materials that their whole community needs. In this time period, they are never left alone but are instead brought up and taught by everyone in their tribe. Togruta are not raised with a sense of ‘these two are my parents’ but rather in thinking that their whole community is their family.
As a group of young Togruta approach adulthood, there is a rite of passage they take. The group that they have grown up with will go out and hunt their own akul beast with no help from their elders. This is the ultimate test of working as a unit. There is the chance that the whole group may die, but the Togruta take on a ‘survival of the fittest’ mentality.
This method of raising their children instills the group dynamics that are so valued in their society into them. The akul teeth and pelts, which are worn as marks of honor, are used to create clothes and their first headdresses. No part of a slain akul is wasted, especially so if it is one that is taken down during a rite of passage. The food brought back from the hunt is used in a feast to celebrate their adulthood.
