Qisa Tryse

**Qisa Tryse**, born Amri Nyla, is a Saleluki, former Sarai agent, and the medical administrator over the Alliance station, the *Vigil*. Amri fought in the latter portion of the Great War at a young age but deserted upon discovering an orphaned Riko. Knowing the Sarai would never allow her to leave their ranks alive, she faked her own death and underwent cosmetic surgery and adopted the alias of "Qisa Tryse" - a clanless with aspirations as a Trikon Medical Officer and doctor. After achieving her doctorate and gaining a place in the ranks of Trikon Medical, she attained a position as Chief Medical Officer on board the *Vigil* with her daughter as an engineer.

## Appearance

As a Saleluki, Qisa stands at 5'3" and has light purple skin, pale blue hair, and green, slitted eyes that are large and glow in dark environments. She has small, feline-like ears and her head is tipped with small, red horns that curve backward. Qisa is thin and small, with four digits on her hands and feet. She has a long, thin tail tipped with pale blue fur matching her hair.

However, originally, Qisa had light blue skin with dark violet hair and matching tail fur.

As a Sarai, Qisa often wore a dark longcoat with a high collar and lace binds around her wrists and ankles. As a medical administrator, Qisa wears a white Trikon medical coat and dark blue dress pants.

## Personality

Appearing at first to be very dry, cynical, and superior to others, Qisa has a hard outer shell but is very devoted to those that are close to her. Analytical and well-studied, Qisa treats most with condescending dismissal and disregard unless she feels they have something important to contribute.

Qisa is devoted most to her family, her adopted daughter Riko and surrogate daughter Arra. She cares for them both equally, having taken them each in during their points of vulnerability and need. While Arra is the newest addition to their family, she treats her as one of her own and the more mature of the two girls, having to get onto Riko more often due to the Nurunian's love of junking and inventing often-dangerous equipment with her findings.

Indifferent to the goings-on of the galaxy and of her own people, Qisa has opted to take a financially lucrative career as a medical professional, diverting her skills away from doing others' harm and, instead, toward healing. She hopes that by doing so she can somehow atone for her past ethical crimes of which she shows a degree of guilt and shame over, as well as contempt for her people's government.

Often tired and over-worked, the former Sarai strives to create a bright future for the two under her care and stresses the importance of leading a life that one is proud of, likely due to being ashamed of how her life has been before. She is mistrustful of military officials due to the unethical regime she escaped from and, thus, tries her best to steer clear of any conflicts brewing in the galaxy.

## History

Born to a wealthy but relatively minor Saleluki clan, Amri Nyla was an only child, her mother producing two stillbirths before and one after Qisa had been born. At age 3, Qisa's parents died in what would be known as the "Flight of Fire" incident where almost 200 other Core representatives died in a burning commercial star cruiser on its' way to a colony settlement. Soon after, she was adopted by a friend of her fathers' - Q'rey Raxos - and raised within Clan Raxos' villa on Saleo.

Amri's childhood was greatly shaped by the tutelage and instruction of her adoptive father, who happened to be the Dragonhead of the Sarai Order. Q'rey groomed Amri to be the finest Sarai agent possible, encouraging her to pursue a career in his Order. Before her induction, she had been schooled by the finest tutors and provided combat lessons until she was thirteen and could legally join the group. Amri became one of the Sarai Agency's best operatives, rising quickly through the ranks from Leafskipper to Jadescale until finally becoming a Tigerfly at sixteen, one of the field agents tasked with the most covert and dangerous operations.

By 20, the Great War had begun and Amri was one of many Operators of the Saleluki Central Government to participate. Along with Cell 23 member Koris Z'ive, Qisa assassinated arms dealer Kelma Rocha and rescued a number of hostages held on the prison world Kirvas III. So effective was Qisa at her missions she was quickly called the "left hand of Raxos", being assigned to seemingly impossible operations single-handedly and completing them to the letter.

As the war was coming to a close, Qisa continued to do cleanup operations until a fateful mission on the planet Wechen lead her to fake her own death on a transport ship and adopt a Nurunian pup she'd name "Riko". She had her body cosmetically altered and used various legal and illegal channels to create the identity of "Qisa Tryse", her new clean slate. Afterwards, while acting as a single mother, she studied and attended the Salvatta Academy for Medical Advancement, gaining a doctorate and Recommendation of Service from Doctor Kelka Dorgo, leading her to a career as a Medical Administrator for colonial efforts.

With a steady and lucrative career under her belt, Qisa raised Riko on the Terran colony world Perma, taking the time to get to know the community and become a leading voice for Perma City. Qisa held a good relationship with her neighbors, the Sans', and took in Arra after her father's death and the closing of their workshop at a young age, raising the two girls alongside each other until a sisterly bond was formed.
