Vesseera Starfall

Vesseera Starfall was a female Drakonus who resided on Klesk. She was the wife of Rhonin Starfall and mother of Kyriel Windrunner and Kaibur Starfall.

Biography
Vesseera was born on Klesk in 180 BBY. She was born into the Falluk Clan.

Better known as “Vess” to her family, Vesseera loved science from a young age. At the age of twenty-two, she took out an intern program and began working with biologists for the Klesk government. The goal was to end the Drakonus disease of being feral. She would eventually graduate and continue her work for the Ruchlos government.

In 112 BBY Vess met Rhonin Straz, a Drakonus musician. The couple would be married in 73 BBY. Rhonin wanted to start a family right away, but Vess was committed to her work, and family would have to wait. The couple did, however, decide to drop their clan names and create their own clan. They wanted their family name to show the fact that they followed the more progressive ways of Klesk.

In 1 ABY, the couple adopted the clan named Starfall, managing to afford the registration for the change with help from Vess's sister, Amelthia, who also adopted the name.

Vess continued her research until 54 ABY, when Ahsat Ruchlos decided to change the research's focus to controlling those who had gone feral.

In 65 ABY, Vess gave birth to her first son, Kaibur. As the years passed, Vess began to have suspicions about how helpful her research really was. She kept her concerns quiet, though, as whispers started that anyone Ahsat thought wasn't loyal would disappear.

By 100 ABY Vess was neck-deep in biological research on a disease that could kill Drakonus if placed in the water supply. She started to hate her work, but fear kept her going, especially when Kaibur joined the military.

In 114 ABY, Vess gave birth to Kyriel. With Klesk on the verge of civil war, all Vess could do was continue her work or face her family being killed. When Kaibur was executed for military betrayal in 117 ABY, Vess and Rhonin bought their way off-planet before the spread of Mort Sora could kill their daughter. They traveled randomly into the known galaxy until landing on. Taking to hiding in caves, the family barely got by.

In 118 ABY, Vess and Kyriel were attacked by bandits. Rhonin was badly wounded and later died from his injuries. Feeling that she had brought this fate down on her own family, Vess tried to struggle through, but poor living conditions and a broken leg eventually got the best of the woman and she died in late 119 ABY from infection, leaving her daughter alone in a cave.

Appearance and personality
In Human form, Vesseera was 1.68 meters tall with tank skin and honey blonde hair. Her eyes were hazel. In Drakonus form, she stood 2.08 meters tall and had pebbly, sapphire blue skin. Her wings were slightly smaller than average, which made her better at gliding than flying.

Vesseera was considered an extremely dedicated worker by her peers. She could border on obsessive and was known to take her work home with her. She was not as interested in social activities, though she enjoyed her husband's music.

As a wife and mother, Vesseera was sensitive and caring; all the analytical behavior of her job did not transfer over. She doted on her family with all the energy she showed her work.

It was this division of personality that allowed her to work for Ahsat Ruchlos on the Mort Sora virus for so long, but ultimately destroyed her with guilt over what she had done.
