Kiara Moonbeam Quali, Blood Moon

## **Biography**

Kiara Moonbeam was raised on the planet of Coruscant. Her Father was Orod Moonbeam and Mother Kara Moonbeam. Both were Togrutas. Orod worked at a facility that researched new technological advancements. Kara stayed home taking care of Kiara teaching her at home rather than sending her off to school since Coruscant was a dangerous place to live. Orod had a steady well-paying job there and provided more than enough for his Wife and daughter. Kiara enjoyed being taught by her mother how to do sorcery and hand to hand combat skills while being taught what other children her age were being taught in school. Kara once told Kiara the reason she was teaching her sorcery and combat skills is because it is wiser to know how to have these skills and not need them rather than not knowing these skills and needing them. The Moonbeam name was a well respected name on Coruscant yet Kiara did not know anything about her mother's side of the family. Kiara asked her mother and the only thing she was told is her grandmother's maiden name was ' Tano'. Sadly at the age of twelve standard earth years, both of Kiaras parents were killed shortly after two Jedi went to question Orod on certain matters. Kiara did not hear them talk but saw the two Jedi when her father opened the front door. Kara took Kiara to back room and read Kiara a story. Later on that night, when Kiara was asleep, she was awakened by the sound of commotion and yelling in their home. Quickly she hid under her bed frightened and heard two sounds of humming for a few seconds then the sound stopped followed by two thumps of something hitting the floor and two pairs of feet running out of the house. After a few more minutes, she heard nothing else and quietly got out from under her bed and opened her door. She found both her parents were killed from odd looking holes in their chests. Kiara was in absolute shock yet noticed her mother's right hand pointing to the wall. Kiara, while shaking went to where her mother was pointing to and found an opening that was easy to miss. She opened, found a backpack and short sword. There was a note on the backpack. The note read:

*"My precious child, I prayed that this day would never come, yet I made preparations for you in which case since you are reading this note, it did happen. In the backpack you will find journals that will teach you more sorcery. I have taught you all I know on combat skills. The Sword is yours now and used to be mine when I was younger. There is plenty of Imperial Credits for you to live on for many years. Start a new life and you survive my little warrior. I know one day you will find a male that will love you unconditionally and you love him the same. Know that your mom and dad love you more than you can ever know. There are no good byes; we will always be with you. May the Force guide you to your next destination Kiara. I love you."*

After reading the note, Kiara sobbed and cried uncontrollably for a while. She then positioned her parents side by side having them hold hands. She kissed each of their foreheads and placed a blanket over them. She then put a flower on the blanket. Kiara had her backpack and sword strapped to her back. She then quietly opened front door looking all around then went outside closing door gently. She stood there for a moment feeling lost then she heard her mother's voice like a whisper, ' Go little one, I am with you.' She smiled as tears ran down her cheeks. Kiara took off running into the night as fast as she could away from her previous home. She had been on her own since surviving on the streets of Coruscant honing her sorcery and combat skills. One fateful day she was fighting four thugs. She killed three with her sword and when she turned to kill fourth, she was shocked to see a Zabrak standing over fourth thug whose head was severed by a lightsaber. Kiara and the Zabrak locked eyes for a moment then smiled at each other...
