I have an idea for a drawing that I hope that I can do- it’s for Vemi who is my trooper. And before I get into drawing idea I want to give more context of the backstory I’ve given her. (This got longer than I thought it would be so I’m gonna add a little break lol)
She is born to a Moff and his Wife (I’ve yet to name either of these people yet leaning towards the surname Gideon idk her birth name is Vemarra) on Dromund Kaas and they are pleased to find she is Force sensitive. She begins her Sith training at a young age.
Though, tragedy strikes when the Moff’s wife is murdered (the Moff found out she wasn’t faithful and killed her if you saw my Darth Marr post don’t ask me why this is a theme for my OCs parents).
Vemi has always suspected that the Moff wasn’t her father and calls him “The Moff” she occasionally has visits home for his official dinners so he can show her off as his Force sensitive child.
She is accepted on Korriban at 10 - she survives here for two reasons 1. She does what she has to do. She’s a smart girl. 2. The Moff is a favored Moff among a couple of the Dark Council members. (This doesn’t make her liked among the other apprentices). She also has a secret hideout that she uses hidden tunnels that idk if actually exist in the academy but they do in this version of the universe.
When she is 13 a republic solder from Havoc Squad (I named him Rex and yes I’m watching Clone Wars right now this guy is inspired by that Rex) captured by her (to be named) Sith Master and she’s asked to torture him more. But! she doesn’t want to so she helps an injured Rex escape through the tunnels to her secret hideout.
He contacts his team from the secret hideout and they get there very quickly. (They’re on a mission to get some data from the academy or something idk quite yet). The rest of the team don’t quite trust her even though she rescued Rex. But Rex sticks up for her. She agrees to help get the item in question and returns to the academy to put up the sensors and cameras they need to use to determine its location up. Before she can go back to her hideout she is confronted by her Sith master who attacks her for losing her prisoner. She defends herself and is a little bit a prodigy and ends up defeating her master. She does however get severely injured.
She’s able to use the Force to heal herself up a little bit. Gets back to her hideout where Rex does fuss at her because at some point during the ordeal she has become his kid. The rest of the team then decides she’s trustworthy. She helps the next night despite Rex’s objections. They get the data they were there for and they’re heading back through the tunnel that leads to her hideout.
This is where they realized they’re being followed by the other three apprentices who were competing for their master’s attention. They’re mainly upset that they now have to essentially start over because Vemi killed their master. She tells Havoc Squad to keep going through the tunnel and she’d hold off the apprentices. They needed to get off Korriban while they still could. After a brief back and forth where the apprentices are getting closer she uses the Force to push Havoc Squad into the tunnel and then collapse the entrance behind them.
Havoc Squad rush back to the hideout where Rex was (he had to stay behind because the Sith could recognize him if he went back in). He’s extremely upset because he wanted to bring Vemi back to the Republic with them. The Major in charge says if they hurry to the ship they might be able to pick her up. As they’re on the cliff side they see her holding her own despite fighting two others now (she took out one of them early on also I like to imagine she has an adjustable saber like Cal Kestis does and she has two blades right now). Rex is frozen in the spot for a moment watching her fight. The team drag him back to the ship and they fly in as she kills one apprentice and knocks the other one out. Rex yells at her from the open door of the ship and she uses the Force to jump up and he catches her. She passes out from exhaustion and she now has more injuries.
Rex takes her in after some arguing with his superiors and her adamant plea not to go to the Jedi. (She thinks the Moff or Sith would find her and she does think she has too much anger for the Jedi). He does get really excited when she starts calling him dad. She joins the republic army when she is old enough and joins Havoc like her dad did.
Now for the art idea she very rarely uses her Force training after escaping Korriban. But starts again during Knights of the Fallen Empire. I’m imagining her during the Battle of Odessen in Knights of the Eternal Throne her normal bun fallen out with stray hairs scuffed up trooper armor with her saber in her right hand (now with a white crystal because she’s not Sith but she’s certainly not Jedi and I think this would be neat) and a pistol in the other. And she’s doing that squint/focus look they like to do when they’re fighting.
