Motivation
Cause (Knowledge)
Magna Barda is Dathomiri in origin, daughter of Magna Te (a well-off merchant). She is from the Great Canyon Clan, one of the few Dathomiri clans who mine and are mechanically-inclined. [That last bit is my headcanon for this campaign.] Her clan's naming traditions put the family name first, then the personal name. [Also headcanon, and an excuse for some bad puns.]
As a child, she showed promise as a martial artist, especially in unarmed combat. Her local sensei (a distant cousin named Magna Carta) suggested that Barda seek further training off-planet, particularly in the art of Teräs Käsi (Steel Hand).
Barda left Dathomir at age 16, with the contact information of one of Carta's off-planet friends and a letter of recommendation for training with that sensei. She was accepted into his dojo, and paid her way by working as a mechanic in the local community. Rinse and repeat a few more times as she moved from dojo to dojo in order to learn new techniques.
She recently returned to Dathomir, where she is staying with her mother, Magna Te, for now. [Insert location?]
Ultimately, Barda wants to amass enough knowledge of how the Force interacts with the martial arts and start her own dojo on Dathomir. This requires both knowledge and funding.
Barda is currently trying to craft various projects, but has run out of money ... so she needs to find a job. Maybe as a bodyguard or something instead of a mechanic? It might pay better rates ...
