Alexya's real parents would never be known. She was rescued by Mistryl, there on another contract, from a Zygerrian slaver facility when she was just an infant. The slavers kept no records, so there was no chance of finding her family. Knowing she would not possess the genetic advantages of most she was placed with a family not known as warriors. Her father, Arin, is a gifted engineer/weaponsmith and her mother, Genna, is a respected educator/scholar. Only her older sister, Lillee, works with the Shadow Guard and then as a brilliant slicer, not a combatant. The name Alexya came from some of the other slaves. It is not known if that was truly her given name or merely something the captives made up, but the D'Racen family chose to keep it.

Surprisingly enough, the young child quickly developed into an athletic specimen, besting those daughters from more accomplished, "well-bred" families. It was there, that an older Shadow Guard named Carena Shelani took an interest in Alexya and began to train the young girl towards becoming one of the elites.

Several years passed and a teen-aged Alexya was one of the best young operatives in the Shadow Guard, with a near perfect record. The first blemish came when she abandoned her responsibility to see to the release of some girls bound for a Hutt's harem. Carena scolded her, but Alexya was unmoved, especially since she'd still been able to fulfill her duties and complete the mission. She understood why a strict adherence to contracts was important and necessary for the survival of her adopted people,but couldn't abide people being sold into slavery.

And then it happened again with a group of Kaminoans headed for an Outer Rim crime lord who was trying to bring back cloning. And again with a group of Zabrak, destined for underground gladiatorial fighting pits for the amuse of the rich. And again with Wookies bound for the mines of Kessel. Each time, the mission had been a success, often because of Alexya's abilities, but her deviations could not be ignored.

Everyone from her parents to Carena to Alexya realized that her future was not with the Mistryl. The anger over sentients being denied their freedoms ate at her and it started from the top down with The Empire. Lillee, as part of her duties had occasionally been in contact with members of the Alliance including a Bothan slicer of great skill. It was through him that she joined the Rebellion, eventually making her way to SFL.

**Motivation:** Freedom - All sentient beings must have the opportunity to make their own decisions. For good or for ill, and the right to face the consequences or receive the just rewards For their actions. The character seeks freedom for the enslaved and oppressed, and fights against organizations that promote slavery or subjugate their people – whether the Empire, the Hutts or other slavers.

(1005) Intelligence: The PC knows that every victory hinges on knowing as much about the Empire's military might and other assets as possible. He is driven to gather any and all potentially useful data, wishing to locate vital and vulnerable targets for Rebellion forces to strike at. He not only wants to know what the Imperial military factions are up to, but also the state of technological research, economic policies, and other aspects of Imperial strength.

Alexya is of slightly above average height (~ 5'8"/1.7m) and of slim, but athletic build making it easy for her to be underestimated by foes. However, there is a substantial amount of defined muscle on that relatively slight frame.

Typically she is fairly impassive and inscrutable. She is however well practiced at maintaining a facade over a long period of time. On missions she can spend hours as someone flighty and bubbly, only to flip to serious and studious as required.

She tends not to go with serious disguises unless needed. The only thing she will often change is her hair from its natural, fiery red as people tend to take great notice of it.
