Sonata Nikina

Sonata Zaren Nikina was the first child of Aria Nikina, Prefect of the Order of Keltrayu and Queen of Daispin, and Aren Teff, captain of the Sith Star. As such, she was heir to the throne of Daispin. In keeping with Daispin custom, as the heir, Sonata received a customized title specific to the future her mother saw for her. Aria titled her daughter "Song of the Storm"; the stormy season on Daispin brought rain which nurtured crops and provided an influx of fresh water, and Aria viewed her daughter as a similar bringer of hope for her people.

Aria's pregnancy was known both to the Order of Keltrayu and the people of Daispin, but, in order to avoid inflaming tensions between Daispin's Human and Tantaari populations, and also to protect Aren, she kept her daughter's parentage secret. A few beings, including Rin Sakaros, Breek Zagrev, and Vem knew that Aren was Sonata's father, but worked to conceal that fact from anyone else.

Sonata was born aboard the Sith Star in late 158 ABY. After two weeks of recovery, Aria took Sonata to Daispin to present her to the people and formally acclaim her as the crown princess.
