DETAIL LATER
-mother was hutt dancing girl, pink twilek
-managed to hide her pregnancy right up until labor
-died in unassisted, secret childbirth, hutt master was furious
-local pirates were hanging around, hutt told them to 'take care' of the baby
-pirates figured she'd be more useful to them alive, and the hutt didn't tell them exactly what to do w her other than make her not the hutt's problem anymore
-ended up adopted by the crew basically
-they both kept making up excuses to keep her around and then ignoring when those excuses stopped working
-pirate crew split up when she was 16, been running solo since

Independence - Vora doesn't exactly like playing by the rules. She doesn't care who's set those rules - the Empire, the Rebel Alliance, the Hutts, all of them drive her up the wall. She's not stupid or blind, for all her hatred of being constrained by others, and can see that (from her perspective) the Rebels are probably the lesser of three evils, but that doesn't mean she's going to go around and cozy up to them since she knows they'll be just as much trouble for her as the other two.

Emancipation - While Vora doesn't go out of her way to liberate those around her - especially because she knows the Hutts would be all too happy to claim her as another Twi'lek dancing girl, or worse, if she did enough to catch their attention - she takes an almost obscene amount of pleasure in dismantling any slavers that get in her way. In addition, she wholly refuses to smuggle or traffic sentients (unless she's transporting them away from a life of slavery).

OBLIGATION:
Criminal - A lifetime of smuggling has left Vora's record stained black as coal. While not actively troublesome enough to have much in the way of a bounty, she is enough of an annoyance to have her criminality known to more than a single community.

Vora has light orange skin with a substantial amount of freckling, a trait slightly unusual in Twi'leks. While less uncommon, she also has patterned lekku - each individual lek has four thin ring-like markings, beginning at just below the base of her lek and ending near the tips. Her eyes are large and brown, and like many Twi'lek woman, have dark eyebrows drawn on above them with makeup. She also wears eyeshadow and double-winged eyeliner in a slightly darker shade of orange, not immediately obvious unless one knows to look for it. She has longer nails, painted black, although not so long they get in the way of anything practical.

Attire-wise, she wears mostly leather for what little protection it offers. A leather jacket (usually rolled up to just above her elbows), gloves, high-waisted pants and a soft, dark gray undershirt make up her standard attire, with a golden pendant (the only memento of her mother she has) and belt buckle. Rather short, she wears heeled boots - not so high that they're impractical, but high enough that she seems less tiny compared to the average near-human. She almost never wears a typical twi'lek headdress, although this is more due to her upbringing and lack of cultural knowledge as opposed to any personal dislike of such things.

Having been raised away from Ryloth, almost entirely by pirates, Vora speaks with a Mid-to-Outer-Rim (American) accent, although can convincingly fake a Rylothian (French) accent if the need arises.

She can also read and write in both Aurebesh and Outer Rim Basic characters with equal fluency, and speaks Ryl (both the exclusively verbal form and the form that incorporates Lekku) and Basic.
