## **Biography**

### **Early Life ( Life before the Empire )**

Aalihya grew up on Shili in a small rural village. The village was close-knit and conservative and lived by traditional togruta lifeways and practices, avoiding many of the advances of modern society. From the time she could walk and talk, she was out on the plains learning to survive in the wild and hunt thimiar. The village would often go on collective hunts, bringing back their bounty and having community celebrations, sharing food and stories.

There were several force sensitive togruta in Aalihya’s village and it was an ability that was looked upon with great respect. For generations, the village collectively denied the Jedi access to force-sensitive children, maintaining that force abilities were a gift of nature and to be used in conjunction with a reverence for the natural world. Aalihya’s mother was also force-sensitive and taught Aalihya how to use her own abilities to hunt and strengthen her connection with nature, but was always taught to be wary of using her abilities around those outside of her village.

When Aalihya was 5, slavers and pirates raided her village. Aalihya’s family was murdered and she was taken to a labor processing facility where she spent the next two years of her life living in squalor, waiting to be purchased. She was isolated and neglected, being fed only enough over-processed food to keep her alive and in decent condition. The facility was the polar opposite of the life she had previously led. Warm sun and tall grasses were replaced with cold durasteel, fresh meat was replaced with food that was unfit for a togruta and the girl was prone to bouts of illness as a result. Isolation took a toll on her well-being and the child fell into a prolonged state of anxiety and depression.

Aalyhya was finally sold to a diamond mining operation on Nothoiin when she was 7. Even from this age, she was tasked with manual labor. 18 hours a day, she spent hauling rock and carbon dust from the mines as others worked to purge crystal from the stone. Her lifestyle and quality was standard for any labor slave. Poor living conditions, cheap food and regular abuse. Aalihya began to use the force once again on Nothoiin. She used it in ways that others wouldn’t notice. She used it to stay alive and functioning, but she was overcome with fear.

When Aalihya was 17, after an instance with a mining employee where he had beat her and threatened to hole her up in the mines, Aalihya unleashed her fear and anger. She locked the employee in a force choke and didn’t let go until his body lay lifeless on the ground. When the foreman found out, he dragged Aaliyah out into the commons yard, stripped her, beat her and cut off her right headtail, leaving her there to suffer and bleed. After that, Aalihya found her force powers to be more unpredictable. She isolated herself in a desperate attempt not to lash out.

When she was 20, Aalihya was rescued from the mines by pirates. She was finally free. They cut her transmitter from her leg and took her with them as part of their crew. Things were great for the first year as Aalihya found herself learning new skills like flying, technology, and discovering the new cultures that the galaxy had to offer. She even eventually fell in love with one of the crew, an Atoan named Kep Vero. However, the relationship quickly turned abusive.

For four more years, Aalihya lives in fear of her captors. Her ability to harness the force grew as her anger, fear and hatred of her captors and herself intensified. Aalihya began to feel the lure of the dark side. She hated feeling helpless and scared. She bottled it all up until she reached her breaking point.

When she was 25, Aalihya finally killed her captors and took their YT-1930 back to Nothoiin to wreak havoc on her former masters and their mining operation. She then set off, gathering information until she learned of the Academy on Korriban. She spent the next year in study of the Sith, serving the ranks of the academy until finally joining herself.

## **Sith Life ( Life in the Empire )**

### ~**Apprenticeship~**

Aaliha’s start at the academy was rocky. She had spent so much time engrossed in study that she had failed to learn patience. This became painfully apparent when she was called to perform a task for a potential master. She was to go to Oderon and spy on a senator. The senator had been a target for some time, and it didn’t take long for word to reach him. On Onderon, the togruta stuck out like a sore thumb. Feeling that the mission would be a failure, Aalihya changed courses and decided to track two Jedi, stowing away on their ship. If she failed at one task, perhaps a substitution would save her life. The ship landed on Dxun and Aalihya continued to follow them. Once more, fear took hold of the Acolyte as a grey substance overtook the two and left them dead in a matter of seconds. Running from the Mnggal-mnggal, Aalihya found herself hiding in the Temple of Freedon Nadd. In the pitch black and silence of the temple, Aalihya soon found herself tormented by voices and the tortures of her own memories and fears of inadequacy.

Freedom found the Acolyte in the form of a new master, Lady Illium. The Sith Knight was impressed with Aalihya’s will and ability to survive the tortures of the tomb. Under the tutelage of Illium, Aalihya learned patience, discipline and the skills of a sorceress. The togruta developed an obsession for the ancient sith and the old ways, learning alchemy and necromancy and honing her skills in those practices. She also found that she excelled in diplomacy, manipulating her way into social circles and various minor governments of the galaxy to bring new Sith hopefuls to the Academy and alliances to the Sith Empire. Her hard work led to her promotion of second in the Sphere of Expansion and Diplomacy.

Despite her success as an apprentice, Aalihya always felt herself behind her peers and struggled with emotions of inadequacy and self-loathing. She kept relatively to herself except for her work and study attempting desperately to catch up in knowledge and ability.

After months of training and study, Aalihya achieved knighthood with her master proudly labeling her as a star apprentice. As a knight, Aalihya found a new sense of self-confidence. She used her station to promote decorum and learning among the lower ranks. She became known for delivering hard lessons to her underlings and continuing to work hard for the betterment of the Empire. She became obsessed with serving the Emperor and Empress and with their lives and stories. However, her fascination didn’t end there. She revered the history of the Empire and the great Sith who had built it up; Lord Cruor, Lord Vassago, Lord Draconis were among the legends she hoped to emulate.

### ~**Knighthood and Beyond~**

Not too long after her ascension to knighthood, a Kaggath was upon the Empire. Aalihya made an impulsive decision to run, as low-raking as she was. She was surprised to find that many high-ranking members backed her politically. Even though her knowledge of history and lore were not as advanced as most that she ran against and her skills in battle were still growing, the togruta held her own and ran on a platform that highlighted her determination, loyalty to the regime and dedication to decorum and the culture of the Empire. Aalihya defeated her rivals for office and ascended to the council. Though the Kaggath was taxing and caused Aalihya to consider many of the flaws she possessed, she was determined to excel in her role on the Council. On Exegol, Aalihya was coronated “Darth Noxia, Dark Lady of the Sith,” but even then, she knew that her journey was not over. She would always aspire to improve and change. She became the Head of the Sphere of Records as well as the Sphere of Arts and Culture. She carried out her responsibilities faithfully, reforming and refining the Spheres, and bolstering their work forces, making them more efficient.

Noxia found new confidence in herself as a leader and counselor, but her underlying feelings of inadequacy and self-loathing remained. She began to turn more to her studies, researching necromancy and cults of death, studying Sith artifacts and how to make improvements to herself biologically. The togruta longed to rid herself of the flaws of her race, a slave race, and become something wholly different.

Noxia began to manipulate matter and molecules through alchemy and art of the small. She made herself venomous while increasing her own ability to metabolize toxins. She crafted a soul snare talisman that she hoped would eventually double as a phylactery in the same way that Karnes Murr’s talisman had. It was a contingency. Really, the togruta desired to release herself from the weak form she possessed and place her spirit into something stronger in the eyes of the Sith.
