Beira Von is the daught of Jango Fett female clone Keres and Jedi Knight Julius Von. She was born in 19 BBY, seven months after the end of the Clone Wars. Republic Clone Commando Keres went AWOL after discovering she was pregnant with Julius Von's child whom she killed upon receiving Order 66. Keres found herself on an Outer Rim World were she delivered Beira and gave her to a family that had taken her into their home. Knowing that she could not stay with Beira Keres returned back to her unit and the new Galactic Empire. Beira grew up in a loving family and when it became apparent the she could use the force her adopted parents were worried that the Empire might find out. Jon and Marth Kenn (Beira's adopted parents) did what they could to teach Beira responsibility, good judgement and when to use or not use her powers.

Beira discovered that she a talent for healing others and was above average in the physical abilites area as well. Beira managed to keep herself out of sight from the Empire but upon her eighteenth birthday she received a holo from her birth mother, Keres. Keres, in the holo, revealed her life and that of Beira's father, Julius Von, and what later occurred. The truth was a hard pill for Beira to swallow but she controled her anger at the mother she had never known. Beira later learned that Keres had defected to the Rebel Alliance but was killed shortly thereafter.

When the Rebel Alliance defeated of the Empire at Endor and Jedi Luke Skywalker latered opened his Jedi Praxeum on Yavin IV she traveled there to learn how to harness and control her abilities fully. After her training Beira was promoted to Jedi Knight and served in the ranks of the Jedi during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion.

Abilities:
Beira was gifted with Force healing abilities and excelled in Lightsaber combat also.

Beira looks a lot like Taylor Swift.

Beira carries a yellow bladed lightsaber.

Beira for reasons unknown looks to be her early twenties dispite the fact that she is in her forties.

Thanks for your viewing.

I forgot to mention a scene. Beira be shown kneeling over a body (any sex or species) with her hand on the chest or back. Her hand is glowing with healing energy that has a warm and pleasant look to it. She should have her lightsaber in the other hand to ward off any attackers.

I have a few questions on the scene/character.

Is the scene during the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion? (25 yrs after the Battle of Yavin)
If so, is the scene on the battlefield or a different situation/civilian area?

I don't know if there's any official representation of characters during this time, but I may need related refs from this time period if you have any (I'll look on my own as well)

I'm interested and would like to have this request 'Claimed'

Ok.

Found several ref imagery and it looks like not too much has changed so unless Lord Crumb wants Beira Von to have a specific look or situation (hopefully he'll post ASAP if so)...

Semi-Spoiler:
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

This is a very sad time period for the foundation characters.

Lord Crumb

The scene is taking place just after a battle during the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion. The Jedi have just driven off the YV and are checking the battlefield for survivors. Beira happens upon an injured soldier and is attempting to stablize her/him while keeping her guard up.

I have not read the books about the Yuuzhan Vong invasion and the NJO books. They never caught my interest. I prefere to read the Old Republic era and Rise of the Empire era books.

As for a specific look for Beira I bow to your wisdom in these matters.

Lord Crumb

Its yours if you want to claim it "aenid31". I hope I have given you enough details. I know that I said that I would bow to your wisdom in the matter regarding her look but one thought that keeps coming to my mind is having a flowing skirt that can become a distraction to an opponent that she may be fighting.

..Well, it's done and looking at Jedi Dress as being simple and utilitarian, I took the liberty of giving her traditional look with a common sense short tights beneath the 'skirt'
..she wouldn't be able to be in a combat environment with any sort of dress.

I mixed the outer black (her brooding side, yes influenced from Anakin - I was watching episode III) with the traditional earthy Jedi colors.

This was an excercise in reaquaintance as the computer I work to color with does not calibrate correctly with the other so I had to go back and forth modifying it till it looked somewhat passable. (still looks better on my old mac, the PC makes it look washed out/over bright)

I wanted to do some more to it but was held up with the color calibration and correcting it.

Lord Crumb

Sounds good to me. Just thought it was something I would mention. An Anakin influence is cool and so is the earth tone colors.
Thanks aenid31. Look for to seeing it.
