Ziyal Moya

== REPUTATION: ==
== BIOGRAPHY: ==
=== Early life: ===
Ziyal was born in 114 ABY on the Sephi homeworld of Thustra. She was the  bastard child of the crown prince of the house of Vanar. Her mother, Naprèm, worked as a servant at the palace and got into an intimate relationship with prince Saru. When King Aradar Vanar got word of the affair and that she was with child, she was casted out in the streets. 
Naprèm returned to her family who didn't want anything to do with her now that she had brought shame to them. Naprèm was forced to find a new job quickly, even though she was pregnant. By the time that Ziyal was born, she had found a job in another influential house, the house of Su'Kal. The house of Su'kal were rivals of the royal family, with eyes on the throne of the Sephi homeworld. They had found out about the affair between the servant and the crown prince and saw an opportunity to use it against the Vanar Royals. 
From a young age it was clear that Ziyal was different. Naprèm did her best to hide her daughter's gifts but when the Su'kal family realized that the young child was force-ensitive, she no longer was leverage against the Vanar, but a threat to their plan to claim the throne of Thustra.
=== Arnakian Experiments: ===
In 120 ABY, the Su'kal family took Ziyal away from her mother and sold her to: The Adasca BioMechanical Corporation of Arkania. Adascorp was famous for its bioengineering and medical research advances and had used Sephi for the creation of the Arkanian-Offshoots. They were happy with the force-sensitive Sephi child.
The six year old Ziyal was taken to Adascopolis, the old capital of Arkania. To them she was nothing more than a specimen, used for study and experiments. However when they were done with her they didn't set her free, instead she became a servant, a pet of the head scientist of the bioengineering department: Draza Furdík
Treated like an animal, Ziyal was kept in a cage at night. During the day the young child had to serve the Furdík family. She wasn't the only child servant on Arkania, Ziyal met other children that served other families when the Furdíks received guests. 
In 123 ABY, when Ziyal was 9 years old her Arkanian Master took Ziyal with him on a scientific expedition. But they never reached their destination. Draza's ship was attacked by pirates, damaging their navigation system. The Arkanians jumped through hyperspace and ended up in the Quelli sector. There their engine began to fail, forcing them to make an emergency landing. Without the Navigation system the Arkanians didn't know what world they land on. But soon after their landing they found out that it was Dathomir, as their ship was almost instantly attacked by nightbrothers of the nearby Misty falls clan. 
Ziyal was locked in her cage when the Nightbrothers attacked the ship, slaughtering the Arkanians, including Draza. When the Zabrak discovered Ziyal they planned on killing her as well. But the Sephi child tried to hold them off with the force. Ziyal wasn't strong enough, but her resistance made the nightbrothers change their mind, instead of killing her they took her captive and brought her to their village at Misty Falls.
=== The Nightsisters of Misty Falls: ===
The frightened child was brought to Elewen Moya, the matriarch of the clan who saw her potential and took an interest in her. The Matriarch welcomed her into clan and even decided to adopt her. 
From day one Elewen began to teach Ziyal about Dathomirian magic, train her to hone her skills..
In 128 ABY when Ziyal was fourteen years old she underwent the baptism, making her a true Nightsister. The clan mother had prepared the force sensitive Sephi for five years and even though she was considered too young by some sisters, Elewen deemed her ready for the ritual. 
It took place in the caves under the village, the only entrance was behind the waterfalls that would lead to the sacred subterranean lake. Elewen questioned the young Sephi in front of eight witnesses. Then she was asked to step into the cool waters of the lake as the sisters began to chant, summoning the machikal Ichor. Mother Elewen wrapped her daughter in the machikal Ichor and lifted her out of the lake. Ziyal was now a true sister of the Misty Falls clan. After the ritual there was feast to celebrate the beginning of her new life.
When Ziyal turned eighteen in the year 132 ABY, Mother Elewen suggested that she would choose a Maleling. Ziyal however declined, as she was still very young for a Sephi and not ready nor was she interested. But the Matriarch insisted as she believed the Sephi would produce powerful offspring. A few days after her birthday her mother brought the young Sephi, the clan's fittest Zabrak male, Dimír, to breed with. The few years older Nightbrother was honoured to be her Maleling, and did his very best to please her, but Ziyal kept refusing him. 
Eventually the Sephi told him the truth. Dimír was surprised that she chose to trust him and treat him like an equal instead of just breeding cattle. He vowed to keep her secret safe as she told the Mother that they simply weren't compatible. Elewen didn't believe Ziyal's story at first, but when Dimír, a breeder' confirmed the story she did. Even though the Matriarch belived the story she let her daughter keep Dimír. The Nightbrother and Ziyal never mated, instead a friendship between the two blossomed.
=== Iron born: ===
Late 155ABY Ziyal told her mother that she wanted to leave Dathomir in search for knowledge. But Matriarch was against the idea as she had plans for her Sephi daughter. In secret Ziyal and Dimír repaired an old fighter that had crashed in the mountains decades ago. When they were done Ziyal left Dathomir against her mother's wish. 
For weeks the Sephi traveled from sector  to sector until she found her way to house Tollere. She pledged herself in the hope that someone would teach her more about the force.
=== Civil war: ===
During the civil wat the Sephi Nightsister stayed loyal to her house. But when it fell, like so many other Sith houses, Ziyal left it all behind. She knew she couldn't return to Dathomir, not after what she had done. Instead she continued to travel the galaxy, searching for knowledge and hoping to find a new home.
=== Battle of Tython: ===
162ABY Former master Terrogate called in a favour, asking the Sephi Nightsister to help the New Je'daii Order against a newly formed Dark regime. Ziyal was still loyal to Tollere and her master, as fast as she could she traveled to the Deep Core to assist the Je'daii.
In the midst of battle, Ziyal was sent on a mission with the Trianii priestess Faera. They were sent to intercept a transport of Dark Matter, combining their lightside and darkside magick to fight the Sith Sorcerers aboard. But before they got near the transport a disaster happened. A damaged fighted crashed into the ship carrying the dark matter, causing it to implode and create a tear in space.
Instantly their ship was pulled into the wormhole that had just appeared, there was no escape.
=== A journey through time: ===
When they exited the wormhole they were no longer in the Tythos system, and they seperated from the others. What they didn't know was that they were in a different time, in 1259 BB. Over 1300 years into the past.
