Rey Bold Astar (Star by Star)

Rey Bold Astar was born 11 ABY on Yavin IV to Kyp Astar and Dorovio Bold-Astar. Astar was the daughter of two X-wing pilots turned Jedi in Luke Skywalker's Jedi Order and lived at the Praxeum on Yavin for the first six years of her life. In 18 ABY, Astar was orphaned on Jakku. She focused on her survival until 30 ABY when the First Order was looking for the BB-8 unit she had encountered that held the map to Skywalker.

Astar met Finn, a First-Order defector and escaped Jakku on the Millennium Falcon and met Han Solo, one of her greatest heroes. She was then taken to Takodona and had the Force within her awakened. She was captured by Kylo Ren and taken to Starkiller Base. She escaped with the help of Finn and Han Solo and battled Kylo Ren.

She managed to escape the destruction of Starkiller. She was changed by the experience and went to Anch-To with R2-D2 to find Skywalker and learn the ways of the Jedi. While there, she discovered she shared a Force Bond with Kylo Ren and had accidentally led him to Anch-To. She was able to convince Ren to surrender to her and Skywalker.

Astar learned more about Ren, and his former identity as Ben Solo and began to fall in love with him.

Yavin IV
Astar was a darling among the friends of her parents and the other Padawans at the Praxeum. She was even friends with the young Ben Solo. She missed her parents when they disappeared on missions and looked up to them. In her youth, she seemed to not have any Force powers.

In 18 ABY, her parents took her on their mission to investigate the rumors about the First Order. They encountered the Knights of Ren and had to leave Astar on Jakku close to their friend, Lorr San Tekka, so she could survive the mission. She was left orphaned at this time.

Personality and Traits
Astar was a Force-sensitive human female with dark hair tied back in three buns, hazel eyes, and fair skin that was tanned by sun exposure. She was relatively tall and muscular.

Astar was resourceful and ruthless in her survival on Jakku, but was determined to wait for her family to come back. She had a heart of gold and cared about more than just herself. She liked learning about ship parts and the legends of the Jedi, which her father would tell her when she was a child. She was desperate for love, attention, and approval and was very lonely. Water comforted her. She also was not in touch with her feelings and did not know how to interpret them, like her feelings towards Kylo Ren.

Despite her serious attitude, she valued laughter and kindness and this drew her to Ben Solo. She was forgiving of others despite the world's more unforgiving attitude towards her. She was somewhat spiritual after her Jedi training and initial awakening, although she remained mostly grounded in the physical world.

Family
Her father was Kyp Astar, also known as Red Nine. He was a Jedi lore and legends expert who gathered stories about the Jedi for years before joining Skywalker and the Rogue Squadron. Her mother was Dorovio Bold, and she was a former trainee in Carida Academy who defected to the Rogue Squadron after the destruction of Alderaan. Both parents were Jedi, Force-Sensitive, and great pilots. They loved Rey dearly and named her after a family friend that had died in the Battle of Jakku, Dosmit Raeh. They hated leaving her behind and took her along on their longer missions, including the one that got them killed.

Her mother had been given the Skywalker lightsaber as a sign that she would be the next Grandmaster after Skywalker. This was why the lightsaber called to Astar.

Her maternal family remained allied with Imperials and the First Order. Her paternal grandfather had died at the Wobani Labor Camp while her uncle, Ben Astar, remained a TIE-Fighter pilot for the First Order and led a special squadron. Therefore, Astar did not know any of her extended family.

Love
Ben Solo/Kylo Ren was the love of Astar's life. They were friends as children, and a vision of Astar on the Throne of Balance was a major cause of Solo's turn to the Dark Side. When they met again as adults, there was infatuation on Solo's behalf while Astar hated him. They shared a Force-bond, however, and grew to love each other. This led to Solo's redemption and their marriage. He made her laugh, and she made him happy. Both had to overcome many obstacles to earn their happy ending.

Luke Skywalker
Luke Skywalker was Astar's Jedi master and paternal figure after the death of her parents and Han Solo. Astar respected the old Jedi master and went to him for advice in all matters. He loved her like a daughter and was happy to be teaching again. He wanted her to carry on the Jedi Order, like he had previously asked of her mother.

Skywalker approved the relationship between his apprentice and nephew, thinking that they would draw more strength in their connections than in isolation in remembrance of his father and his redemption.

Han Solo
The smuggler was a father figure to Astar that she looked up to and was very fond of. He was an inspiration to her while she worked away on Jakku. She was devastated by his death and kept his silver pistol with her always.
