The Planet with Three Suns
{ Little!Odara starter for @rulingsolo }
----------------------------------------------------------
There were new people here..
She’d seen their ship land earlier in the day, and had seen people coming out of it. So of course, she was curious about it. But because her skin was so pale, Odara had to hide among plants and behind buildings and things to get around. It gave her a way to get from one place to another, without getting burned too badly by the planet’s three suns. That, and the scarf that she usually wore wrapped around her head.
Odara could see a young boy wandering around with who she guessed was his mother, and wondered who they were.
The other children wanted nothing to do with her because they thought that she looked weird. That, and sometimes when she was upset, strange things happened. he had powers that didn’t come from the Force, but something else. This was another reason that she was avoided.
Careful with how she touched the plants, Odara snuck around from one spot to another as she watched the new people. She was so lonely, so desperate for companionship, that she had taken to watching when and where new ships landed. Trying to see if anyone brought kids with them, who might play with her.
Going between the tall, dry trees and other buildings in the area, Odara finally made her way over to where she’d seen the boy from earlier. Pausing for a minute, she gathered her courage and walked over to him, pulling on his shirt gently to get his attention.
“Hi..I’m Odara. Will you play with me?”
It was worth a shot, right? One would think that after so much rejection Odara would stop trying. And she had on some occasions. But..somehow today felt different to the five-year-old N’iavnan girl. More hopeful.
Even if she did live on a planet going through a dry spell, with only sparse vegetation growing right now. Not that N’iavni was usually much better, but it was her home nonetheless. It was all she really knew.
