Reya Derond

"The law is the law is the law. No excuses, your highness. You know, I USED to be a big fan of yours."

 was a noblewoman on Atrisia, whose family's shady business dealings caused her to move to Tatooine and become an investigative lawyer. Cracking down on crime as a whole, she eventually helped renegade Jedi T'djok (pronounced teh-jok) to be acquitted of his supposed crimes. After he left the Jedi Order, they eventually married and raised a family. Reya died in her sleep, in the knowledge that through her actions peace had been brought to what some had called the most crime-saturated planet in the Outer Rim.

Early life
Reya was raised on Atrisia, a noblewoman and businesswoman. When she discovered at age twelve that her father was, in fact, a traitor to the Crown, she betrayed her family. Through simple espionage, she discovered that the Crown Prince himself was a traitor as well. However, the claims she made seemed ridiculous to the Emperor, and he requested she leave the planet. This did not sit well with her; instead, she became an investigative lawyer and eventually gathered evidence to put the Crown Prince behind bars. Due to several attempts on her life, she was forced to leave the planet at the age of nineteen.

Career
===Early Career Several law agencies wanted her as an employee, but she turned down numerous offers of work. Eventually, she got a job at a small law firm on Tatooine. For nearly five years, she cleaned up crime in that city: Mos Eron.

Later Career
Mos Eron was flooded with refugees from all over; one of these was a Zeltron Jedi, T'djok. T'djok had been framed by a fellow Jedi of murder, and Tatooine was the only place he considered beyond Jedi control. At this era of time, the Jedi were very commonplace in the galaxy as peacekeepers. However, a Jedi committing murder was no small offense. Reya was approached by T'djok with a request to be his legal representative. She was impressed by his audacity and after a week's deliberation, she agreed. After a long, hard legal battle, T'djok was acquitted of his charges and the other Jedi sentenced to life in prison. Reya, then thirty, eventually married T'djok after he formally retired from the Jedi Order. Ten years later, she turned over her practice to her associate lawyer, only working when the other needed her help desperately with a case.

Life After Retirement
T'djok became a moisture farmer on the outskirts of town and they raised a family of two girls and a boy. Only the youngest one of the three was Force-Sensitive, and T'djok trained her in the Jedi arts. Although she was merely an unofficial Jedi, T'Fela became a peacekeeper in the region. The boy, T'Fel, became an investigative lawyer even better than his mother; the oldest, T'La, married a merchant and traveled the galaxy with him.

Death
Reya (or T'Reya, which was her name after her marriage) quickly became a respected matriarch among the small community of moisture farmers. However, her years of work as an investigative lawyer took its toll on her body. She died at the age of 97 in bed, three months after the death of her husband from sickness.

Post-mortem
Reya's descendants became one of the most respected families in Mos Eron, and simply having a T' as your forename indicated a wealth of lineage few families had. T'La's only child eventually discovered a new trade route from Tatooine to Coruscant that cut off half the flight time; this route became known as Reya's Way, because the boy named it after his maternal grandmother. Mos Eron, thanks to the reforms started by Reya, became a great trade city, despite its remote location.

Personality and traits
"There's a reason I married your mother, T'Fel. And it's not just because she saved my life from ending in a miserable jail cell. She's talented and confident, but not arrogant. She never backs down from a fight."

Headstrong and yet shy, Reya was raised to be a noblewoman; she carried herself as such. Few would oppose her.
