Danni grew up as every other woman did on Dathomir. She was raised as a warrior and as a witch. She grew up riding rancors and hunting the local beasts. Her clan was called the Grey mountain clan because of the deep grays in the colors of the surrounding rocks. Danni was on the path to become the leader of her clan because she was the greatest warrior and also the most gifted in the "spells" the witch could produce. She continued on this path until one day when the large ship landed not far from her village. She rode one of the clans rancors to meet the group that was exiting the ship. Viewing them as enemies she attacked. She brought about a great force whirlwind and caused many to run but two remained. One was Cameo Naton and the other was a young but strong looking male named Shaggy. Since neither moved she decided to stop playing around. She began to chant and ended up picking up a large rock and using the spell she hurled it straight at the larger man's head. To her shock, the man not only caught the rock but sat it down next to him.

Danni had never seen anything like this especially from a male. She became fascinated with the two men but especially with the larger, physically stronger one. She took them to her village and presented them to their leader. The rest of the visit was a blur for the young witch. She had never seen anything like these visitors and she had never lost in a fight. Her first real loss came later when she challenged the one called Shaggy to a fight. Shaggy did nothing but defend but he lasted long enough to ware down his opponent to the point where he stood over her and she had no choice but to yield. The strange man then helped her up and laughed, the group ate as official guests and then they left. Danni could not understand who this man was but she wanted to know more about him so she stowed away on the ship they came in. Shaggy actually found her later and did not return her to the planet. Her interest in him was reciprocated. Shaggy respected and was amazed by the power she was able to wield. Little did they know what this interest in each other would develop and become.

This flight took them towards the living ship GAIT. There the Jedi battled many different foes from machines to large ape looking creatures. The fight was going well for the team when she was captured by the machines. She was taken deep within GAIT and there was brainwashed into become the physical hand and leader of GAIT's armies. GAIT named her Araya which was based on the Dathomirain name Ara'ya which meant "walking in darkness." When she came face to face with Shaggy, she used the love they had for each other as leverage in order to bring him over to her side as her protector. They two of them waged war on the galaxy and the relation still blossomed under this time.

Shaggy met up with a ghost from GAIT's past and from there he was show the true path of a Jedi and he, in turn, brought back Araya to the person she was before. He continued to profess his love for her even as she slammed him with large objects and brutalized his body with various physical attacks, many of those scars from that battle he still carries today. She wound up encased within his massive embrace weeping over what she had done. They escaped GAIT before it exploded and the two were soon married on Cecil's Moon by Master Naton in a private ceremony.

She went back to calling herself Danni for a time while the two of them lived together in a type of exile from the rest of the galaxy. She found that she was with child and the two were overjoyed at the news. She and Shaggy were happy until a ghost from Shaggy's past began to chase the pair around the outer rim of the galaxy. This was difficult due to Danni's pregnancy. They made it to a safe spot for a small amount of time so that she could give birth. She gave birth to a boy and they named him Alexander. Their joy was cut short because Ishmael found them again the chase began again.

Ishmael ended up capturing them again and Shaggy turned himself over to them in order to save his family but it was all a trick by the insane Ishmael. He took the child and was going to turn the infant into what Shaggy used to be, a killer. Shaggy and Araya stormed the compound and when they came face to face with the mad man, Ishmael turned and killed their only son. Enraged at the death of her first born, Danni used a forbidden spell and picked the man up with the Force and proceeded to slowly rip his spinal column out of his back. She kept him alive as much as possible. Shaggy had run to his son’s lifeless body and she proceeded to pull Ishmael's skin off. Then crushed his head with the Force as her last act of vengeance.

After that was done she felt a burning over her heart and as she looked down, she saw a nightsister mark appear. As she clutched her mark and mad a promise to never let the mark fade and to be a constant reminder of her son. After they escaped she returned to calling herself Araya. She dropped the accent in the name to change it's meaning. Her name now means, one that walked from light into darkness. It implies that the walk was done willingly.

The two were then called to oversee the Jedi Praxeum and she was granted the title of Master as well as Shaggy. She prefers to be called Lady Araya instead of Master and that is how her students know her. During this time a vision came to her great love and on a trip back to Dathomir, they buried their son's remains and Shaggy went on a spiritual journey. Upon his return, he went through the ritual of change. He is now called Daer'Gunn and has taken on the mantel of Grande Master of the New Jedi Order. She is a full time instructor at the compound on Onderon where she has taken on the personal training of three future clan leaders from Dathomir. She hates to be called "master" so she is called "Lady Araya." He teachings specialize on communication with animals and the metaphysical aspects of the Force.

The background is great and all but the description of the character you would like is rather lacking or was that on purpose?

Do you have any other requests for detail other than green eyes, black hair and female?

Shaggy

Hmmm, She wears mostly black and it is very form fitting. Her attitude is one of mild annoyance with just about everyone but her husband. She does have a serpent tattoo that runs three circles around her right bicep before it continues down onto her hand. She is tan from being in the sun most of the time. Also the darksister mark over her heart can be seen (though not fully). She makes no effort to hide it. She wears the markings of her clan on her clothes and her cloak is a deep purple. Also the lightsaber she carries is more for show then for use even though she is quite adept at using it. She believes that the force is her weapon and she is a weapon of the force.

I guess the best real life person to describe her as would be a Kate Beckinsale or a Rose Mcgowan. I think that is all I got. It's weird doing this for her. She is my second oldest character and just excited to see her come alive.

Anything else I can help with?

Lal-Khan

Claimed. I'm a sucker for beatiful women :P

I will get working on this for you though I'm not familiar with the darksister mark. Do you have a reference?

Also, what clan is she and what are their marks?

Lastly, do you have a preference for the lightsaber? On or off? Color?

Shaggy

Nightsister marks are interesting. Let me see if I can find a full reference for it. Got to love Wookieepedia. Ok this is what it said "Attributes of a Nightsister

The first Nightsister clan tended to display ruptured blood vessels around their eyes, a corruption due to constant use of the Dark side of the Force. For unknown reasons, perhaps Imperial Dark Jedi training, this was not true for their later successors. There was no "uniform" for the Nightsisters, and each wore clothing that suited them personally, although most tended towards black robes and cloaks, adorned with tribal jewelry and accessories. Many of them also had unusually pale skin, which was perhaps painted." And for good measure here is the link.

Her clan mark, that one I will leave up to you.

Lightsaber is like Dooku's only hers is yellow. It is elegant and curved and I guess it depends on her stance. Hmm I think closed because she does not prefer to use it.
