Willow was born in the year 26 BBY to a family of merchants in the Mid Rim. From a young age, the girl was shown to have a connection with the force and soon her connection was discovered by her uncle, a newly made knight of the Jedi order. Her Uncle whisked her away to bring Willow to the Jedi temple. With that, at the age of three, Willow had seen the last of her parents.

At the temple on Coruscant, she found friends among her peers and soon found happiness again. However, the young Willow was blind to the encroaching darkness of the clone wars and only vaguely knew why her uncle was deployed to lean clone starfighter squadrons against the separatists. The war was brought to her doorstep with the battle of Coruscant where she saw her uncle fly against the horde of droid fighters in the sky. After the battle, her uncle took her and a few other younglings to a small Jedi outpost in the mid rim. It was there that the clones attacked, overwhelming the place and leaving her uncle and herself the only survivors, fleeing in a old beat up Pathfinder scout ship.

For three years, they ran. Her uncle attempting to find a place for them to be safe, burning through connections and favors until they were barely scraping by, fleeing from the agents of the rising empire every day. The only happy moments Willow remembers is when her uncle taught her how to fly. However, the years took a toll on her uncle, turning him bitter and hateful toward the world that had turned on him. A group of purge troopers caught with them near an outer rim backwater, cornering and killing her uncle but not before Willow was able to hear his last words and take his lightsaber.

"Never Stop Running, Never Stop Flying, Never Stop Fighting" was her motto for the rest of her childhood as Willow smuggled herself aboard cargo vessels, lived under bridges, and weaved her way through the streets. When she was 14, she stumbled into the wrong cargo hold and was caught by a group of pirates. One of these pirates, a younger lannik named Valek Sha took her to the captain, Tristan Briggs, who decided to let her stay aboard. And so she stayed aboard the old beat up Gozati class Patrol Cruiser, learning to fly the battered R-41 Starchasers over the following year. Aboard she got her new name, "Willow", because as Briggs explained it "Your spirit always bends, never breaks". Her time aboard came to an end when the pirates signed on to join Black Sun and Willow didnt want to be a part of it. She stole a R-41 Starchaser, with the help from Valek Sha, and left.

Willow continued to drift around, taking odd jobs as a mercenary pilot before her lightsaber got her the wrong attention. Shot down and cornered by Purge troopers, Willow was barely able to survive, however it cost her lightsaber to do so, it was shattered beyond repair in the fighting.

She drifted on still for more years before she ended up in a bar on New Ralltir. Watching some shadow-feed, she saw rebel starfighters and capital ships destroy imperial warships and hordes of Tie Fighters across various battlegrounds. Then she received a message from an old friend and after having a work with him, the pilot decided to join up because she has nothing left to lose and no where else to run.

```No One: Willow is all alone in the galaxy. Having lost her uncle and her childhood to the purges and the rise of the empire, she has decided to join the Rebellion on a old friends offer because she has nothing left to lose and no where else to run.```

```Sabotage: Willow realizes that every Imperial asset destroyed is one that can't later be used against the Rebellion or innocent civilians. The overall strategy of the Rebellion relies on sabotage and raids, and Willow is fully committed to this plan of action. Whether or not to take another pass to hit one last secondary objective or target of opportunity is not even a question for Willow. Imperial troops without food, blaster gas. or supplies are easy pickings for the Rebels, and Willow aims to make the Empire as weak as possible.```

Willow stands at 4 feet, 11 inches with a modest slim frame. Her rusty red hair is kept at shoulder length, though it is tied in a loose bun during missions. Her grey eyes are dulled and can be described as tired when they scan around a room. Her complexion is fair, though no stranger to sun burns. When shes not in the cockpit, she wears a simple tank top and the bottom part of her pilot outfit with workmens boots. When out on the ground, she switches it out for some street clothes and a hood to conceal her face.
