**Annika Toldreyn** is the eldest daughter of former Jedi Knight Korvan Toldreyn and his wife Alysia Toldreyn, and a Padawan within the New Jedi Order. A powerful empath, Annika was recognized to have synesthesia at a young age by her mother, a doctor. As a result, she often relates certain sounds to specific emotions, which is only amplified by her strong familial ties to the Force, her father and both grandfathers having been a part of the old Order.

When Annika was five, her older brother, Darex Toldreyn, was taken in a raid from their home on Empress Teta by an unknown perpetrator and was never seen nor heard from again. Believed he was targeted because of his Force-sensitivity, the Toldreyn family went into hiding and refused to surrender their other children to the New Jedi Order following its creation in 7 ABY.

Nonetheless, when Annika came of age at eighteen, in 19 ABY, she recognized that she'd grown complacent on the family farm on Dantooine, where they had fled following Darex's kidnapping. Knowing her father was a great warrior and was still scouring the galaxy for her brother, Annika refused to suffer their backwater existence anymore. Leaving her mother and sisters behind, Annika volunteered herself to the New Jedi Order. After two years of preliminary training at the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin IV, Annika signed on for the New Order Exploratory Force that was to found a new temple on the mysterious border world of Odessen, to finish her training in a group environment.

An aspiring Jedi Ace, Annika goes by the callsign 'Outlander-Two', and pilots a ship of the same name with her assigned astromech droid, BB-3.

## Biography

### Childhood

Annika was born on the Core world Empress Teta, the second child of the former Jedi Knight Korvan Toldreyn and his civilian wife Alysia, one year after the Battle of Yavin. Having sworn off the Force and refused to join the Rebellion, Korvan went to great lengths to ensure his son, Darex, and his daughter were protected. Thanks to the timing of their births, however, they came into a galaxy that was preparing for the end of the Galactic Empire, and thus were inherently safer than their fellow Force-sensitive peers.

Still, Annika had a life of relative obscurity. While her mother operated a simple clinic and her father worked as a mechanic, she was passed between the two often at their places of employment. She was often put under the charge of her older brother Darex, and the two grew to become very close despite their young age.

Following an assessment by her mother, Alysia eventually came to learn and understand that Annika had been born with synesthesia, a phenomenon that led to the experience of one sensation triggering another. Hers appeared to be tied to her emotional state, as certain sounds triggered certain emotions within the young girl.

Early memories of her life would prove to be foggy as trauma swallowed large parts of it—In 6 ABY her brother Darex would be one of the countless children to disappear across the galaxy in what were known as the Children Raids. The perpetrators were never found nor caught and their motives were never understood. Heartbroken and outraged at the New Republic's inability to respond to the crisis, Annika's parents uprooted their small family from the Ecumenopolis and fled to Dantooine, Korvan's homeworld, and to a farm he had inherited years prior.

A year later scouts for the New Jedi Order would come, following the rumours, and Korvan would refuse to join himself or to allow his daughters to join, despite Annika expressing interest. The idea of the Jedi Order would never be far from her mind following that—And the memories of her missing brother.

### Teenagehood

Annika eventually buried her feelings about the Jedi Order and tried to focus her attention on the rest of her family. She now had two younger sisters, the twins Arixa and Mirala to worry after, usually left to take care of them as her mother busied herself with providing for them and as her father began to fall down a rabbit hole of investigating the kidnapping of Darex and other children. Eventually, Korvan would leave their family and their farm, intent on chasing a lead down personally, and though he communicated where he could, he would not return, the search completely absorbing him.

And so, left emotionally orphaned, Annika began to take charge. Her mother began to unravel without her father's steadying presence so she tried to emulate it as best she could, carrying for her slowly-ailing mother and helping to rear the twins into respectable galactic citizens. Some locals even began to mistake Arixa or Mirala for Annika's own child, despite the girl being young and unmarried. Still, Annika had lingering thoughts of the Jedi, and of her father.

At eighteen, those thoughts came to a head and she decided it was time to leave the farm and pursue what she felt like was destiny. Becoming convinced that joining the Jedi would be able to help her in bringing her family back together, Annika quietly left Dantooine one summer night and sought out the nearest New Jedi Order detachment, making them take her to Yavin IV to be initiated.

### Adulthood

Annika spent two years on Yavin IV. Not assigned a master due to a shortage, Annika was trained in a group of other Jedi hopefuls and studied under some of the keenest minds in the New Jedi Order. Eventually, she signed on to the New Order Exploratory Force, agreeing to finish the last vestiges of her training on Odessen.

## Personality

Speak first, plan later—That is the motto of Annika, who has a borderline reckless mentality in life.

## Appearance

Annika has inherited the fair complexion of her mother and bears a strong resemblance to her, though any who know her and her father often remark that they share the same eyes, which are a burnished gold.
