Background
She grew up in the wilds of Devaron, untouched and unworried by galactic politics. That is, until some on her homeworld chose to rebel against the Empire, including her aunt. Montellian Serat was quickly becoming a hotbed for Rebel activity, and the rebellious enthusiasm attracted Shanyi’s aunt.
As the situation became more severe, Shanyi’s mother became concerned and tried to dissuade her sister from a course of action she thought nigh-suicidal. When no arguments could change her determination, Shanyi’s parents decided to travel to Montellian Serat in hopes that their arguments would have a greater influence when delivered in person.
However, they had no sooner arrived than the Empire laid siege to the city and soon annihilated all rebellious inhabitants—including Shanyi’s parents, who were caught up in the net.
This plunged Shanyi into a period of political activism against the Empire, which led to her actually joining the Rebellion at the advice of a local Rebel liaison.
Motivation
Quest: Vengeance—Shanyi is no combatant, so she seeks her vengeance on the Empire through other means, supporting the alliance cause as a scout.
Duties
Transportation (8): It’s her job to make sure everyone in her team gets where they need to go as safely as possible, whether that’s booking commercial space transports, driving a rented speeder, or pathfinding through dense wildlands.
Description
Orange Devaronian, short, athletic, typically dressed in tough and practical clothing that protects her arms and legs and won’t easily be snagged or caught on brush.
Personality: She genuinely cares about her brother, but has a tendency to put her own interests above his, particularly as he is not assertive and rarely argues with her. She behaves very cheerfully, but it’s usually a sarcastic act that can turn quite biting sometimes. However, many people find it disarming when they first meet her.
