Personality:
Ara is rather unscrupulous in most cases. She is very seductive, but for the most part is prejudiced against men, because she has been thought of as just a pretty object for quite some time before her main career. She is very, very clever, and quite manipulative. But she also knows when to just abandon trickery and pull out her pistols. Sometimes, she can be rather arrogant, though, and gets carried away with disguises- especially small ones- very easily. She absolutely despises Illyana, Landon's previous lover...
Strengths:
This Twi'lek is incredibly beautiful, and she uses that to her advantage. She also is quite proficient at unleashing salvos of blaster fire from her twin, custom-made blaster pistols. Ara is deadly in close range when she wields her Vibrosword, and can use her dagger at close range, too. She is a fair pilot, able to outmaneuver many, and she likes having a starfighter that can pack a punch. She has a habit of overcompensating, preferring to totally squash her enemies.
Weaknesses:
Ara may be agile, clever, and seductive, but she really isn't the strongest combatant you'll ever see. She's not good at taking on multiple opponents who are armed with melee weapons, and can be subdued if she doesn't have backup. She does think almost everything through, but sometimes she throws it all to chance by being unpredictable- a strategy that can get her really screwed if immediate success is not gained. However, she can be either paranoid of enemies' abilities, or somewhat arrogant if she believes them to be weaker combatants. Also, she can be a very jealous person, especially when it comes to someone she cares about...
History:
Ara Lekura, born Aralek'ura on Ryloth, was the child of two Twi'lek mercenaries. As such, she was raised by scum, in scum, and round scum. Naturally, she took on some bad habits from this. By the age of twelve, she was an accomplished pickpocket, and by age fourteen, she could pound the stuffing out of those she didn't like, due to her extremely acrobatic nature, and her tendency to fight very dirty. At age sixteen, she started to attract males' attention, and that gave her an extra bargaining chip. Her career as a bounty hunter was soon to begin.
Her first job was to kill an obese Twi'lek aristocrat- specifically, one who had an unhealthy interest in girls. So Aralek'ura got inside, no problem. She fit the criteria. The fat old Lethan wasn't so horny when he had his own family ceremonial dagger in his heart, though. Aralek'ura quickly cut off one of his extensively tatooed lekku, his family ring, and ceremonial dagger as proof of his demise. She was paid... Very well. But her greedy parents got to squabbling over what they would do about the new money. A fight started, leaving Aralek'ura's mother dead, and her father maimed. In a fury, the Twi'lek girl took her father's pistol and riddled him with lasers. She, only sixteen, was now an orphan.
Aralek'ura got a side job as a dancer in a good cantina, and rolled in some big bucks in tips, as well as some rather nasty habits, such as tricking her bounties into coming into "the back room" and killing them. At age eighteen, she decided to leave the wasteland planet she called home. The Twi'lek stole a starfighter and left the planet. She was now Ara Lekura.
After three more years, she was now 22, and in the meantime, had become quite successful. She had a Hornet-class Interceptor as a ship, and Ara had ordered a pair of custom pistols, as well as an expensive vibroblade. Top of the line, naturally. However, she took a rather... risky mission. Ara assassinated the Imperial Governer of Yag'Dhul. She was ratted out, naturally, and the Rutian Twi'lek was forced to go on the run from Imperials, whereas before she had just been some "Bounty hunter slime". Then she believed that safety in numbers could help. She wanted to join a ship's crew- preferably of talented individuals. And thus she did.
The Rutian Twi'lek joined Kalken Gunrit's crew, and immediately took to Landon Kisuke. After a brief firefight, the crew escaped Nar Shaddaa, even though a Star Destroyer tried to catch them, as well as a Shadow Guard. Once in hyperspace, Landon and Ara "shared a bunk" for the ship's sleep cycle. Afterwards, she tried to "get back" at Illyana, but it more or less backfired. Thus, she came up with a by far more devious plan to take out her jealousy on her...
