Alluria Solios

 Alluria Quinn (ah-LOO-ree-ah KWIN) was a former student of the Jedi teachings turned Sith Lady and vigo of the illustrious Merquise Syndicate of Nar Shaddaa.

History
"So much passion, even in one so young, is dangerous..."

- Jedi Master Tam Sai

Born on Coruscant, fifteen years after the Battle of Yavin, Alluria Quinn only spent a few short years with her paternal relatives before it was discovered that the girl had an affinity for The Force. When approached by a local Jedi Master who had come across the child playing outside of the small apartment her parents rented and told about Alluria’s potential abilities, the Hapan couple reluctantly gave their only daughter over to the Jedi Temple. It was their hope that their daughter might pursue a life much more fulfilling than they could offer for her with the tiny bit they had to give.

For the next several years, Alluria became an Initiate of thestarwars:Jedi Order: Jedi Order, where she learned all that she could from the overseeing masters, and proved herself to be quite talented at that. She quickly absorbed anything she was taught, and worked diligently until each technique was perfected. It was not long before her skill with a blade blossomed into a young, untrained art. Some masters, however, found her ambition to be disconcerting. It was soon realized just how willing the girl was to go to any length to obtain what she desired, be it knowledge, possessions, or a number of other things. Masters were rarely able to catch Alluria in the act of breaking rules, though it was painfully obvious how many times she happened to be in the area when other students seemed to be in busily bending the rules to the breaking point, and beyond.

Despite the child’s reputation as quite a challenge, a patient, old Jedi Master named Alsten Lissiri decided to take her on as a Padawan. He believed that Alluria’s fiery temper and thirst for knowledge could be molded into something more productive, and if aimed in the right direction, she could become a wonderful Jedi.

A Child’s Exile
"All those in favor of the expulsion of Alluria Quinn from the Jedi Order…"

- Jedi Master Yu-Sien Khel

For the next Five years, Alluria learned from the old man, even if his passive ways of teaching made the young girl impatient and frustrated. By the time she was ten years old, however, the girl had learned to manipulate her fellow students into taking work from her, and often goaded them into starting fights with her if they did not do as she wished.

One such fight did not go quite as the girl had planned. While on a mission with her master and one other team of Jedi, Alluria started a debate with her fellow Padawan Corran Bujold. Rather than fold to her wishes, however, the strong-willed boy butted figurative heads with the girl and refused to back down. Soon, words turned to violence as the boy pulled his saber and attacked. Alluria retaliated. Though the fight was short, blood was spilled. Corran Bujold fell to the girl’s blade. Within the day Alluria was taken back to Coruscant, and within the week, she was tried for the boy’s murder. Despite her claim of self defense, the Jedi Council found her guilty, and immediately expelled the child from the Jedi Order.

Unbeknownst to the majority of the council, the girl would not be fulfilling the obligations of her sentencing to Bandomeer. Instead, the ten-year-old girl found herself on Kessel, having been sold into slavery by three corrupt members of the Jedi Council.

For the next six years, the child spent her life in a waking nightmare, enduring every torture and torment imaginable while she simply struggled to survive the unforgiving environment and the cruelty of both her captors, and the other slaves around her.

At the age of sixteen, the girl finally managed to do what very few before had. She escaped.

After an unexpected whipping caused her to accidentally break a large and expensive portion of glitterstim, her captor violently assaulted her. Terrified for her life and enraged that the Jedi had left her in the depths of the mines to die a violent and painful death, her connection to the Force sparked to life and lashed out, throwing the man away from her and toppling several of the slaves in the tunnel. She stole the slaver’s oxygen mask and ran far down into the tunnels, where she knew she would not be followed due to the Energy Spiders that inhabited the lower caves.

Knowing she could not risk going back to the cell that she called home, she used her own life force as bait to lure several of the arachnids up through the tunnels. Once they were close enough to the miners, Alluria ran, leaving the miner and workers to their own fate, as the spiders feasted on the buffet of energy. No one survived that attack, and it was assumed that Alluria had perished along with the rest. After hitching a ride with a smuggler off planet, she had her first taste of freedom since she was a child.
