**Proserpina Vayemmo**, also known as **Kore Eleusis**, is a New Republic Intelligence operative undercover within the New Republic Military’s security detachment to the New Jedi Order. The Devaronian-Zabrak hybrid was born on Iridonia in 3 BBY, to a Devaronian father and an Iridonian Zabrak mother. Her father Plotoss was a member of the Rebel Alliance's Signal Intelligence organization. Her mother, Cerealia, was a flight technician. Growing up on Rebel bases did not appear to be the best for a child, but Pina made herself useful early on, assisting in ship maintenance with her mother. The life of a Rebel's child did not last long anyway, as the Alliance transitioned into a Republic in 4 ABY following the Battle of Endor. Her family was shortly relocated to Chandrila as it was the newly-formed seat of government.

Following in the footsteps of her parents, Pina would find herself fast-tracked into the ever-evolving cadet programs of the New Republic military, though she was scouted for the New Republic Intelligence Service sometime in 14 ABY. Pina had been attending a pre-officer boarding academy across the planet from her family when it had been shuttered with the signing of the Military Disarmament Act, leaving her with little-to-no career options and somewhat resentful of the whole debacle. As the school was no longer able to financially support its students, Pina was turned out on the streets of Hanna City, Chandrila's capital, and resorted to thievery to get by. While she would have most certainly been welcome home, Pina had no resources to cross Chandrila, and she was too ashamed to return anyway, still intent on making her own way.

Thankfully, the quick-witted thief caught the eye of the NRI’s Airen Cracken, who was recruiting the stray military students that had been made as a result of the Disarmament Act. At the conspicuous age of sixteen Pina began to train as an NRI operative, and she would eventually see herself still placed within the reduced military complex or the New Republic, this time being attached to the Praxeum Defense Force -- The branch assigned to serving alongside and protecting New Jedi Order Jedi and their Praxeums. Her first assignment took Pina to Tython, and she took the cover name ‘Kore Eleusis’, masquerading as a logistics officer. While she had multiple reasons for being assigned to where she was, primarily to observe and report on Jedi activity, she had a second objective of much greater importance.

After her stint on Tython, Proserpina was re-assigned to the Praxeum team bound for Odessen.

Due to a latent heart condition and being born with an underdeveloped liver, both a result of her hybridization, Pina had both her heart and liver replaced with cybernetic replacements in her youth to prevent future complications. This curious augmentation has led to Pina having no audible heartbeat and an incredibly high tolerance for alcohol. This actually proved useful in working around Jedi, allowing her to operate more lowkey.

## Appearance

Being a mix of two very distinct species, Prosperina exhibits traits of both. She seemed to inherit both of the horns of her parents, resulting in a curious combination of male Devaronian and Iridonian Zabrak horns on her head and scalp, though she usually trims down the others besides the main set on her forehead for convenience's sake. Her skin is a rusty, ruddy red-brown mix, and she is on the shorter and overall plumper side as body-types go. Her hair is naturally black and quite thick when left to grow out, though she usually keeps it cut short and pulled back away and out of her face.

Prosperina is often confused for a female Devaronian-- At least, to those ignorant of the biological differences in the species --thanks to her appearance.

## Personality

Prosperina is fiercely, even zealously loyal to the idea of the New Republic and the ideals of democracy, willing to do almost anything in the name of it.
