Background
Ashawa Fren was born on the moon that gives her species their name, and for the first few years of her life, lived in comfort among well-off parents. This would change when a visiting jedi determined her force-sensitivity, and she was gladly gifted to the Order as a youngling, leaving behind what she knew.
She was sorted into the Thranta Clan, and made fast friends with another youngling, Thalia. They grew up as close as siblings do, with little difference to their age. Ashawa also took an interest in the culture of her species, and she and Thalia shared many hours in silent contemplation, each reading their own holotape among the Jedi Archives in their off hours.
As she grew, Ashawa learned that her talents leaned towards people and dealing with them, and her master encouraged this aspect - as well as training her in the Niman style, feeling that they, as Jedi, should first and foremost be peacemakers.
With the war coming, Ashawa was devastated - and when she learned that her childhood friend had been assigned to the Ashen Legion, she was quick to request that she be posted as well.
With some reluctance, her Master has let her go, and now, she's facing a dangerous galaxy in a time of civil unrest.
But it'll be ok.
She has her friend, after all.
Motivation
Emotion, yet peace.
Ignorance, yet knowledge.
Passion, yet serenity.
Chaos, yet harmony.
Death, yet the Force.
As a young idealist and padawan, Ashawa believes in the Just cause of the Jedi and the Republic, and is prepared to do what she can and must to raise up all those harmed by an uncaring universe. She may have to learn the hard way that not everyone can be saved.
Morality
Duty - Diplomacy - 93
Ashawa has always been a social Jedi, even as an initiate. As a Padawan, the council have seen fit to grant her a diplomatic role. Her duty is to make sure that the legion maintains good relations with the locals, and negotiation with enemy forces.
Description
Ashawa Fren is a Pantoran in her late teens with blue skin (that turns a fetching shade of indigo when she blushes), golden eyes, and luxuriously purple hair that she takes quite some pride in. Somewhat precocious, she tries to affect the Jedi Cool and Confidence in the Force and her own abilities as seen in her Master and in trashy holovids, though whether she truly succeeds in appearing wise beyond her years is anyone's guess.
Though she'll wear the robes of her order, she does enjoy matching her clothing to her skin and hair otherwise, preferring to have her wardrobe custom-made if possible, claiming she feels the personal touch makes it all the easier to connect to its maker. Wicked tongues might murmur that she's a smidge vain, instead.
