Personality: Mainly due to where she grew up, Aura has a very strong force of will and is very quick of mind, working through problems to their solution or meaning quite quickly. She has a good heart and tries to do her best for those around her. The ability to overcome adversity and her resourcefulness are also traits which she has gained from the situation of her upbringing.

History: Aura was born on Coruscant and lived there in the slums with her extended family, beneath large amouts of Sith oppression. When she reached the age of 12, Aura began working menial jobs to help the family with money. At the age of 19 she married, Mal Vaalen a male togruta from the slums, whom she met whilst working one of her many jobs. A year later word spread around the slums of a ship that would be taking as many refugees as it could carry off of Coruscant. The family quickly packed up and rushed to reach it in time. A few Sith found out about the ship and began to round up those heading towards it. To better avoid these pursuers the family decided to split up, with Aura heading off with her parents and cousin, and Mal, her aunt, uncle and grandfather going a different route. Aura's group reached the ship with the others arriving shortly after, however her grandfather had some bad news. They had encountered some Sith and Mal had stayed behind to allow the rest to escape and was killed. After Aura's grandfather had convinced her not to go back for Mal they all boarded the ship and left Coruscant. The refugees arrived on Corellia, where they were shown to a camp that had been set up by a wealthy landowner. It took Aura a while to settle in due to the loss of Mal, but she eventually became very involved around the camp helping out wherever she could.
After a few months, a visit by Jedi, Jesse Ariston, to the camp led her to become a Jedi after he showed her how to connect with the force, revealing to him her basic talents with the force. He took her to the temple where she began her training as a Jedi.

Abilities: As a Jedi Aura has shown talent in mostly Force based skills rather than any form of combat. She excels in a few fields of Force use; the first is Force manipulation, the movement of objects and other things with the Force. The other is a talent that the Force seems to have given her naturally, she has visions. These visions can be from past, present or future, but in addition to just seeing events, Aura can pick up on the emotions of the beings she sees, allowing her to gain a much greater understanding of the events at work. She has also shown great promise in many other areas of use of the Force.
