Lenavina Martin

Lenavina Martin wasn't born but created on Kamino as a copy to a woman of the same name and near identical genetic structure. The biggest difference between Lena and her mother is the color of her hair. As it is often with clones, Lena needed less time to mature and today, despite being only sixteen, is a fully developed woman physically at the age of early to mid twenties.
Her genetic roots origin from both Naboo and Kamino, her predecessor's mother Naha'va having been created as a form of clone without actual parents and made soley for the purpose of being a soldier of the First Galactic Empire. Due to this, Lena's own genetic structure does not match that of a regular humanoid, her aligity, endurance, aging process and several other feature differing greatly from others.
Given extensive combat training by the retired Emperor's Hand after which she furthered her skills as a Black Sun assassin and worked in the same field, Lenavina now works for Daine Kahoshi within the Imperial Intelligence as an Assistant, Representative and Assassin if need be.
==Genetic structure==
Lenavina's gene structure isn't of a normal person though she's of the human race. Her mother was created genetically and before impregnating a woman, here gene structure was altered to the point where her aging process is slowed down by half, her agility and endurance heightened and her clorid level heightened by taking a gene patten of a powerful force user careful selected for Naha'va creation. From an early age, she was imprinted with devotion and loyalty to the old empire and most importantly to the late emperor Palpatine himself which many believed was part of the gene structure though it is not. Naha'va was also force sensitive and very able with her two lightsabers thanks to the combining with the selected force user and trained very well.
Lenavina's gene structure was inherited by her mother in many points but do to mixing with a 100 % human, it's lowered in some cases. Her slower aging process is active, her agility level is heightened. For some reason though, Lena's force sensitivity is from minimum to none.
==The original Lenavina Martin==
===Birth and Childhood===
According to the medical bay records on Naboo, Lenavina was born very quickly and Naha'va showed minium pain during the childhood. As soon as the child was born and it was discovered to be a girl, Naha'va said her name was Lena'ha. However, later when the medical staff went to put this in the records, James Martin said her name was Lenavina Martin, not Lena'ha. Lenavina woudl grow up being referred by the name her father had given her and not the name she was meant to have. She spent her childhood on Naboo and quite early came to notice that other children had mothers with made her ask question. But all her family would give her was that herm other died upon giving birth to her. She had nothing more for the most of her life.
Her tutoring began at six. First her grandmother, but the very next year, a private tutor was hired since her grandmother had fallen sick and couldn't do it anymore. She had her private tutor for four years, before she was sent to a private school at the age of ten. She remained there until the age of sixteen when she ran away from school.
===A curious teenager===
As a teenager, Lenavina was curious. Her father tried to imprint on her the idea that the Republic was the only way to go but she wouldn't listen. She wanted to know more about other systems and worlds and societies. She learned in her private school about the First Galactic Empire. It was the first time she heard about the late Emperor Palpatine. She learned that he was once a Chancellor of the Republic before he slowly took over the senate before announcing himself to be an Emperor. She also learned he had Personal Guards and Emperor Hands. There was little informaiton about Emperor hands but they still facinated her. Apperantly, they were mostly women and didn't know about each other. Public files said it was suspected that some were even engineered to his preferance and molded from early age to be just right from the role.
There was one guard particulary mentioned. A girl who had become his Personal Guard very early and had saved his life at some point. There was no explination to how someone so young could do this but according to what she learned, the Emperor wished to personally see this girl and let her choose her own reward for saving him. There were claims that this girl wanted to be his Hand and that the wish was granted. Thought his could not be proven.
===Murdering her own father===
The older Lenavina grew, the more she found it interesting to tease her father about his precious Republic, and even more, she came to enjoy watching him turn red and her grandmother cursing her for what she said. One day, the teasing turned into a serious argument and would be the last time the two would ever speak. In the middle of it all, the teenager dragged her own birth mother into the conversation, demanding to know what had happened to her. Perhaps it was because James Martin had been so furious with her already that he would tell her the truth. He told her the woman's name was Naha'va and that she was the Emperor's Hand. She had kept this information from him for a whole year while they were married and when he finally learned the truth, he threw his wife out of the house, apperently for Lenavina's sake. The teenage girl knew this was a lie.
The very minute she was told this, Lena packed her things and prepared to leave the house where she had grown up. However, her father kept making threats, telling her she would never be welcomed back if she left now, that she would be dead to the entire family and what not. But Lenavina didn't care. She felt like she had been sufficating all these years anyway. All those years, she had believed her mother was dead and the last straw was when he told her flat out that Naha'va had been most likely dead by now. Her eyes flashed with anger then. She told him first that she wished he was the one who was dead and his entire stupid Republic. For her, they were equally to be blamed for this. And she wished them all to be dead and destroyed, swore to make sure it would happen. James Martin laughed then. He probably shouldn't have because as she stared at him, she reached for the sharpest thing she could find which turned out to be a kitchen knife and stabbed him in the stomach with it. He stopped laughing then and his face expressed horror. When he yelled her name out, she pulled it out and struck him for the second time.
After the second blow, James Martin fell to the floor. She kept staring at him for a little time and finally smirked as if she didn't realize she had just murdered her own father.
Having done what she had done, Lenavina simply took her things and walked out, never wanting to look back. She didn't think about her father or wanted anything to do with him. All she wanted was the Republic gone and she knew the time would come for it.
===The Imperial Remnant===
With a good background behind her but no actual ties or physical training, Lena took any and all job she could find. She worked, traveled, trying to find any sign of her mother being alive. She just kept believing that her mother was out there somewhere and wished to be around her. But as the years progressed, she found no sign of Naha'va so her desire slowly faded and her bitterness began to grow.
At the age of twenty-five, she came in contact with the Imperial Remnant. Her first thought was that it was a pathetic excuse of what the old Empire used to be but it was the closest thing to it that she could actually find. Lena stayed with them for two years before she came to realize they had shown assistance to the New Republic in their war agaings the Yuuzhan Vog. It angered the blond to the point of leaving. She refused to take sides with someone who stands by the rebels. It was the first time Lenavina Martin would ever use the term and even express her point that the Remnant, if wishing to join the war, should have stood on the side of the Yuuzhan Vong and crush the Rebels with them, to share at least some level of victor. But more importantly, crush the Republic.
===Wondering young woman===
After leaving the Imperials, for an entire decade, Lenavina worked on various stations, creating a portfolio of work behind her. She worked minor administrative jobs, would rise to the assistant position, then when either her boss would retire or she felt tired of it, she would quit and find herself teaching history to younglings on different planets. These jobs however didn't last very long because Lena liked to keep more to the history of the First Galactic Empire and refer to all Republicans as Rebels. She learned along the way that the Remnant became part of the Galactic Alliance.
As the years progressed, Lenavina began to feel empty in her bitterness. It was then, at the age of thirty-five, that she would see that she no longer existed as a single being and took various jobs simply survive. Somewhere along the way, she had come to believe in the Empire with her entire body and soul and could not fight it anymore.
===Victory Without War campaign===
Upon her personal discoveres, Lenavina learned that the the Remnant was once again under the leadership of an Emperor. Soon enough, she became active in the campaign Victory Without War. She became part of the Imperial Mission and would spend the next years as a Missionary, spreading the idea of the Empire as the Emperor Jagged Fel had set it. Upon its creation, Lena was thirty-nine. It was rather strange because the mission itself involved helping various species, how they needed it, including feed them and such. And as she did what she did, her believe in the Empire continued to grow but her hate for lower beings rose along with it.
In her growing years, as she later referred to them, Lenavina got involved with men but non of them flarred enough interestest in her to actually remember them.
===Imperial Library===
Two years passed, as the Unification Summit was called and Lenavina traveled to Coruscant to keep a close eye on the matter. She didn't hide the fact that she wished for such a thing to happen under the wing of the Imperial Remnant. Yet when it didn't please her the way she saw fit, Lena dropped her hopes fo it turning the way it should have and traveled to Bastion, deciding to focus again on the one thing that sent her on this journey to begin with. She would spend several years on the capital world of the Imperial Remant. She took a job in the Imperial Library and when not working, she would take time to astudy to archives, or what she culd actually find on the old Empire.
Here she would re-discover the story of the Emperor's Guard that had saved the life of the late Emperor Palpatine while still a teeage girl and due to it became an Emperor's Hand. There was also little information about this woman but all of it were rumors and testimonies, not actual facts. Lenavina tried looking for her mother by name but found nothing.
But she was not a quiter and because of it, continued to work in the Imperial Library for years to come. But each time she felt like she should quit, she would find something new. Finally, she found archives about the cloning programs done on Kamino. This new lead had data about the planet Kamino and the cloning facility there used to create the Clone Army. It also had a log about the planet being erased from the Jedi Archives and that the Emperor himself used the facility for the time of the First Empire. It was very slim on information for what but Lena had a feeling it was where she had to go.
===Visiting Kamino===
Already in her fifties, Lenavina took up her lover over do leave from work and traveled to the place where her feelings told her she had to go. Upon her arrival, she was sent directly to the representatives. When revealing her loyalties, she was not seen as a friend but she continued to insist on explaining. The Rulling council agreed to hear her out and lenavina told them of her mother, the Emperor's hand who had been banished by her father upon knowing the truth. She also told them of her research of the Imperial Library and the rumors of a teenage Guard that had destroyed an attempt on the Emperor's life despite her young age, and how her research lead he rto Kamino for unknown reasons.
Whether it was luck, coincidence or a higher force, but the very story was heard by one of the scientists, a man that had entered his old age by now. he knew whom she was talking about and told the council never to consider Naha'va daughter as a threat. His words would be trusted by the Ruling council and Lenavina was taken to the cloning facilities where she would finally hear the story of her mother.
====Story of Naha'va====
Lenavina's mother was born as HE-781267 and named by one of the female scientists. Her genetic structure was created in the very laboratories and right there, fiddled with as well. Her aging process was stripped by half, her agility and enduranced hyped and her clorid level was discovered to be very high due to an unknown force user donor. When Lena tried questioning on who this donor was, the scientists apologized for not knowing.
The sad story begins upon Naha'va birth. The Kaminians, despite being the ones actually doing all the creation, weren't allowed to witness the girl's birth. An Imperial doctor came to deliver her when the time came and Imperial soldiers came to stand guard as it would not be interrupted. The scientists tried to protect the soon to be born girl but the doctor made it very clear that that the soldiers had an order to shoot to kill if they insisted so the scientists stopped. Later, they would find the surrogate mother dead. Naha'va had been changed, branded with her number and left for the care of the scientists. There was also something else, it seemed as if the doctor had taken something. The Kaminian could not tell what it was, but whatever the man was carrying, it seemed alive. The more curious thing about the woman that had given birth to Naha'va, or rather the way she died, was that they couldn't quite tell whether she had died at childbirth or had been killed but the Kaminian telling the story did remember seeing odd markings on her neck, almost like finger markings.
Naha'va was an adorable infant, much different fromt he male clones they had created for the Clone armies. But the scientist could not be sure whom she appealed like, especially since the surrogate mother was blond even though they weren't supposed to be any mixed genes with her. Lenavina then told him that she was born blond until at some point, her hair simply darkened. The scientist was very amazed by this information.
The young girl the first few years in the cloning facility, so it could be made sure there was nothing wrong with her. The facinating thing was that when she was only six months old and looking incredibly strong, her mind was of a two year old. At the age of two, she was laready able to speak and move as a three year old. She also shwed much love for her creators. In her eyes, they were her parents, all of them. And she threated them with much respect. By the age of three, the Imperials came to take her away. The scientists believed that she was to be taken to Coruscant. He could not offer anything more about her. He did know that she was firs tutored and trained and that he did hear that at the age of ten she had been sent to a Royal Guard training facility and could hold a lightsaber quite well. And of course, at the age of fifteen, that she had discovered a group of people planning to assasinate the Emperor and had dealt with the accordingly, allowing her to become an Emperor's Hand. After that, all trace of her vanished, as he expected it would.
Lenavina pleaded the old creature for more information but he was very cryptic in his worlds, telling that Naha'va liked to keep to herself. She questioned him on this and he did explain that she been on Kamino just recently for a check up. She was now in her seventies but liked to come back to her family.
The woman pried further and finally, she would learn one last thing about her mother: "She talks about you. She tells us that she had a daughter. I knew it was you becomes she told us what you do. Your mother has been looking after you."
===Meeting her Mother===
Having learned so much about her mother, Lenavina returned to Bastion. She had not planned on leaving after that. She really did believe her mother had been there recently and she had no reason to expect her there again. She returned to her work in the Library However, in the light of this new information, she couldn't really get back to the life she had. It was strange but it didn't feel right being there, especially now that she knew her mother was watching over her. That information made her look over her shoulder more and more.
One day, upon returning home, Lena nearly caught a bullet that wasn't aimed at her. It scared her, the idea of dieing and never actually doing anything in her life. She was nearing sixty and she still hasn't met her mother, hadn't fallen in love, hadn't watched the Empire rise again. It just didn't feel right feeling such mortality. So she went back to Kamino, to the same scientists. Expect this time, she wasn't just going to see the scientists.
Naha'va was there. She had come for her check up again and a soon as the two women met eyes to eyes, the mother even looking younger then the daughter, theyk now right away who each was. It made little sense, especially for Lenavina to know tho the other was, considering she had never seen her but somehow, she just knew it was her mother.
The two women had a sit down and Naha'va would fill in the gaps. She told her about her early life, about the Martin family, about the Emperor and his death, about her roaming the galaxy all this time and keeping an eye on her. Lenavina told her why she was here. She told her she wished to be cloned to live again, to go through life again. Told her what she regretted in her life. Her mother warned her that her dreams might not come alive even if she lived again but Lenavina wouldn't listen.
==A brunette clone==
It was 62 ABY as the original Lenavina turned sixty as she stared at the small body in the incubation tube, growing, moving, not even fully concious yet. Naha'va had left again to deal with her own business but the female wished to remain. The clone was to be awake soon and achieve adulthood in ten years. The woman felt it was simple to let go and with the new body coming to age, she felt like a mother, waiting for her baby girl to come to life.
A new Lenavina was born as a brunette, bordering on redhead. It was surprising to both the predecessor and Naha'va but it didn't truly matter. The little one grew knowing all about whom her former self was and yet despite that, she considered the other woman to be her mother and Naha'va to be her grandmother. They were all that she had in her life. Lena was still a small child when her grandmother returned to Kamino and advised her mother that the child should be prepared.
===Training by the retired Emperor's Hand===
With the suggestion accepted, Lenavina would be trained by Naha'va from very early on. Though she was a non force user like the original one had been, it mattered little since Naha'va was also trained to be a Royal Guard and had a various weapons and comabt training that she could use on the growing child. The biggest surprise had been the fact that Lena could actually wield the two lightersabers her grandmother posssessed. She handled them as any sword and accepted the forms used quite naturally. She'd never be capable of actually using the Force and hence would never be able to win against a Sith or Jedi, but the lightsabers seemed like something she was meant to have from early on. And the brunette loved using them.
But not all was simple in the way the girl was raised or trained. While she had a warm and kind mother to care for her, her grandmother did not have those features. If it had been just Naha'va in her life, Lena would have never known what it meant to be cared for, or what it meant to be loved by a parent. Her training was strict and without mercy. Her mistakes were punished by various force powers Naha'va possessed and though the pain was sometimes unbearable, it was all with good results because it allowed Lenavina to grow stronger than she had originally been, to except less forgiveness for her mistakes and trive for perfection, more and more as the years went on.
And just like it was with both her mother and grandmother, Lena too would grow to hate Rebels and all they stood for very early on. However, unlike them, she didn't quite see the Empire was foldly right away. She felt that there was much missing. With the memories of her mother in her mind, she had a vast knowledge of the history of both old Empires and the galaxy itself and it all led her to believe that the Empire was not quite what it should be.
===Black Sun===
Aged twenty in apperance, though only twelve in actual age, when the first version had already turned seventy, the clone was sent into the world to find her own destiny. The first thing she went through was getting taken in on Nar Shaddaa and being interviwed by a Underboss of the Black Sun. She was put to a test and sent to kill a Hutt before she began her training with weapons of her choice. As time progressed, she continued with her work and further training. While part of the Black Sun, Lena shortened her last name in Mar. She didn't know why she had done that but it felt like something she should have done and went with her instict.
Her devotion to the Black Sun was short lived. It was never truly her thing, it was never who she was. Even with all the training by her grandmother and that within the organization, it simply was Lena so she walked away. There were threats that she would be killed for her choice if she went through with it but it didn't matter one single bit to her, she had made the choice and kept to it. Not long after, Lena contacted Naha'va and learned that her mother was dying which led her back to Kamino. Her mother had a reques ton her dying bed, and that was not to let her dream of the Empire die, no matter how much cloning it would take. Lenavina gave her word.
The promise made her rethink her decisions and feelings towards a great many things. It made her remember what her mother wanted for herself and why she began cloning herself and just like she was asked, one of those desires was to see a glorious Empire and be part of it. The memory brought forth a devotion to the Empire she didn't even know she had. It was a mixture of what her mother felt for it and her own feelings of affections towards it growing, but it didn't matter much. As soon as it began, it wouldn't stop, it only grew.
Before leaving Kamino though, Lenavina pulled out her income made in the Black Sun and signed a contract with the Kaminians to create a new clone, after ten years if she did not return within that time. Having a bounty on her head most likely, Lenavina didn't want to take the risk of not keeping her promise to her mother. Once it had been made, she made her way to Bastion.
===Assistant to Akio Kahoshi===
The choice of what she would do in the Empire wasn't hard to make for Lenavina. She was an assistant deep within her skin. The training given to her may have been useful but Lena knew what she was and what she was made to do her life, so the choice was simple - apply for a position of an assistant. It was probably luck more than anything else that an Admiral happened to be hiring at the same time, one with a promising career as well as reputation. It made things obvious for her, where she was to go and set out for it. 
===Knowledge is Power; Guard it Well===
Short while in the Empire, Lena meets TK 3857 who turns out to be her old Black Sun superior Albion. While he had no recollection of his past, Lenavina did and in a brief encounter with his superior officer, she identified her Black Sun trainer who explained what had happened to the two of them. Albio and Lena chose to take a short vacation together. 
===Tell me What Needs to be Done, Boss Lady!===
With the disappearance of her superior officer, Lenavina puts in for a transfer and ends up being placed under Daine Kahoshi where her job description will entail a little more than just a secretary position, mixing her old profession as well.
===The Bounty Hunter===
After a long day at work, Lena heads to a bar to relax, only to meet Cage Raxel who in her initial oppinion is nothing more than a crimiinal who can't hold his tongue and misinterprets everything she says.
While there were parts of the man's personality that made her want to squish him with a chair at times, Lena found herself getting used to the talkative Criminal and thus, endured his company for a longer period of time than she expected originally, even indulging him by playing an odd game.
===The Wedding of two Criminals===
Lenavina intrudes a wedding reception of Akoma Nero and Kassey Daklin to find Daine and ends up helping her keep Kassey and Akoma from being arrested by the ISB, by none other than Daine's cousin Akira Kahoshi.
Despite being a loyal Imperial, Lena is first and foremost loyal to Daine within the structure, due to which doing what she was told at the wedding and stalling the woman's cousin was hardly a problem for the brunette.
===Somebody Like You===
Returning from a pre-lunch break on what was supposed to be a completely ordinary work day, Lena ran into a man with a colorful helmet over his head who would soon reveal to her that his business there was to assassinate an IIB officer. Chasing after him, her intent was to stop the man from completing his task but what was a simply task turned into an adventure in which Lena learned not only how the man really looks like but literally how he looks like with his clothes.
The little adventure and a near naked man in front of the young brunette was to finish as a mere fling with with some excuse to kick him out of her apartment but the more the two remained near to each other, Lena couldn't make herself to use any of her usual excuses and Matthew didn't seem to make up any of his own to leave.
Whether the man would actually remain in her life was to be seen...
