Ciriuh Dallea

Ciriuh Dallea was a female Impar shapeshifter politician who became the first Tribune of her homeworld, Vor'Dal.

Ciriuh was born in 113 ABY, and was extremely successful in school, where her teachers believed she had a genius-level intellect. She pursued politics as a career, and was still a junior-level functionary when Vor'Dal was invaded in the 130s ABY. Though the invasion was repulsed, many Impar societies collapsed, and in the ensuing scramble to save what remained of their civilization, Ciriuh emerged as a charismatic and influential politician. By 150 ABY, she was the General Secretary of a loose Impar collective dedicated to rebuilding.

In 153 ABY, the Golden Empire blockaded and landed on Vor'Dal. The Impari were resentful, but in no condition to fight off another alien armada, and so they conceded to becoming a Royal world reluctantly. Ciriuh was among the diplomats who negotiated with Prime Legate Sorrik and the Ministry of Diplomacy, and was a staunch advocate for terraforming technologies to repair the damage of the last invasion, to which the Empire agreed. Ciriuh was among those who encouraged the Kasafee family to submit their newborn, Force-sensitive son, Quenam, to the Order of Keltrayu as an Impar gesture of good faith.

When Vor'Dal was permitted a Tribune in 156 ABY, Ciriuh ran for the office, winning a plurality of the votes. She was a vocal advocate for the Impari and sought to get them fully integrated into the Empire while courting economic incentives for Vor'Dal alongside the planet's Consul. When she ran for re-election in 158 ABY, she was elected with a decisive majority.

In 159 ABY, Vem, a Centurion of the Order of Keltrayu and Consul of Daispin, arranged a meeting with Ciriuh so she could give advice to Kylar Tanake, an Impar who had become Vem's ward.

Appearance and personality
Like all Impari, Ciriuh naturally had gray skin and black hair. Her natural eye color was a dull purple. She preferred to adopt forms with slender, elegant builds, and favored a reflective sheen to her eyes, which she often kept shades of purple. She usually dressed in gowns and other attire to complement her typical forms.

Ciriuh was a skillful politician, adept at measuring the will of the people and adapting to cater to it. She was also a relentless advocate for the Impari, first with the international collective and later as a Royal Tribune, but was also calculating enough to court the Empire's support, such as when she encouraged the Kasafees to surrender Quenam. She was moderately religious, subscribing to the common Impar belief that the deity had given them the ability to shapeshift because he could not decide on the perfect form.
