Lightsaber Description: Nia'ra's lightsaber features a longer-than-normal hilt, about a foot in length in total.  The design is rather simple, and she has supplemented the construction with beskar plating, picked up in her travels in order to make the hilt rather resilient to lightsabers.  Not only is the lightsaber a long-handled one, but it is also constructed as a dual-phase lightsaber.  The blade thus has two distinct settings - the first is a cyan-colored blade of the standard length.  The second features a blade of a deeper blue color, which is an extra half-length longer than the standard blade.  There is also a function that allows her to thin or widen the blade as well thanks to a custom emitter.

Combat Form: Due to the unique nature of her lightsaber, while Nia'ra's preferred combat style is reminiscent of a few Forms, it cannot be classified under any single one.  Primarily, she has focused on Djem So and Ataru, for their brutal aggression and the former's focus on strength over finesse, which is useful with a wider or longer blade.  She has also dabbled with Juyo as well, but it is an ongoing project.

Physical Description:  Nia'ra is a woman of modest stature and a stocky frame.  She stands just about 5'9" tall, and features measurements that can at best be described as petite.  She's no model nor beauty queen; instead, she adopts a more tomboy look, not the least which is thanks to her physical prowess.  She sports visible muscle definition, belying her strength and athleticism.  She keeps her auburn hair short, further solidifying the warrior, tomboy image.  Her lightsaber, which is a varying shade of blue, matches her eyes which seem to shift depending on the lighting from a lighter to a darker blue.  Most often, she can be found wearing the standard Jedi combat robes, although more recently she has taken to equipping herself with a variant of the Clone Scout armor, to provide additional protection.  She almost never bothers with the cloak except when traveling and in harsh conditions.

Personality: Nia'ra is bold, energetic, and tends to have problems leaving things unsaid.  She views things in black and white according to her own personal code, which has at times differed from that of the Jedi, although not so far that it became a problem.  She's a thrill seeker and a lover of conflict and combat, and she does have a bit of a temper.  When it comes down to it, though Nia'ra can be a bit abrasive at times, she has a good sense of humor (though dry), and is a stalwart ally to have at your side.

Short Bio: Since the day she became a Jedi Knight, Nia'ra has been out righting wrongs and doling out justice amongst the seedier elements of the Galaxy.  In the five years since she completed her trials, she's been throwing herself into dangerous situations and conflicts wherever possible, racking up an impressive amount of experience over the years - as well as a good number of contacts and allies in unlikely places.

When the call went out for Jedi to meet up and head to Geonosis, she was among the first to answer - although not necessarily the first to arrive.  She fought alongside the Masters and Knights in and around the arena, and went on to fight in the most heated sections of the battle.  At one point, she found herself trapped in the Geonosian hive catacombs along with a squad of Clone ARC troopers.  With their help and her own skills, they were able to fight their way out.  Though unofficially, that squad - Havoc squad - has vowed to fight alongside her whenever they find themselves in the same theater of war.

Ultimate Motive: Nia'ra is not so naive to believe that war and conflict can ever be truly eradicated from the galaxy.  Thus, she seeks to ensure that the right side always comes out the victor, wherever she has the power to do so.

Other: Where they are in the same parts of the galaxy, Nia'ra can call upon Havoc Squad for assistance.  Havoc is a squad of elite Clone troopers - ARC Troopers - with whom she saw and lived through intense combat on Geonosis.  Nia'ra also flies a vibrantly-painted Delta-7 Aethersprite starfighter, the hull adorned with orange and black streaks, looking almost like tears along the hull.
