Template: Intergalactic Merchant 

Species: Human, Dathomiri 

Age: 25

Gender: Female

Height: 6'1" 

Weight:  190 lbs, muscular. 

Physical Description: Long black hair (knee length) with deep purple eyes.  Talitha has a muscular build that she inherited from her mother, a Dathomiri witch.  Her hair is usually pulled up and she is usually seen in a no-nonsense outfit of a long khaki tunic split in the front to reveal a full underskirt.  She wears boots all the time as well as a small cut glass bottle on her neck that is filled with a healing potion.  She always is carrying some sort of weapon, but not necesarily is the weapon showing. She is known to change her looks quickly when the occasion should arise, mainly through a change of clothes.

Background: Talitha is the daughter of Lord Enud Astarta, a high diplomat on Dathomir and Anthea, a Dathomiri witch.  She has a half sister, Kamilarah, who is 15 years older from a relationship between Anthea and a slave.  Enud and Anthea fell in love and entered into an intergalactic marriage when Kamilarah was 13, after the death of Anthea's slave.  Anthea, unfortunately, died when Tali was about 16, but she and her father remain close. Talitha was engaged to Tristan Omarian, her childhood sweetheart and NRI agent, who died in a speeder crash.  She is convinced that the speeder crash was not an accident and wants to avenge his death.  Meanwhile, she has set up a small emporium that she takes from planet to planet on the Hoi Polloi, her heavily modified Corellian Engineering Corporation YT-2400 light freighter.  It is armed with the standard weaponry, two double laser cannons and a few other things that she rarely uses.  The shield is strong and she is well able to make the jump  to light speed and beyond consistently.  The Hoi Polloi is her baby and she is picky about who gets to drive it.  Her emporium is stocked with goods obtained from all planets and some might be stolen or smuggled and she never really checks.   

Personality: Talitha seems like an open book, she is friendly and outgoing, but she also is very distrustful due to what happened to Tristan.  She makes judgements quickly about people and things and rarely changes her mind.  In many ways she is too trusting, but in others, she doesn't trust enough.  She is a walking contradiction that is impetous, but also calm and gentle.   

Objectives: Talitha's short term goal is to make a profit on her emporium, she is a shrewd business woman and enjoys her work.  Her long term goal is to eventually find out the truth about what happened to Tristan.  

Quote: "Please, let me help you, I can do it." 

Miscellaneous: Talitha is force sensitive and is schooled in the simple spells learned from her mother's people.  She is a healer and is happy when she is doing just that.  Her father wanted her to go to the Academy, but she prefered a life of adventure.  She still regrets that decision at times, but knows that the offer is still open.  She is extremely intuitive and independent and enjoys being well able to take care of herself.
