Mother, whose real name is Elara Voon, is a woman shaped by the harshness of life and the complexities of family. At 56, her once jet-black hair now weaves with silver strands, a testament to the years of struggle and resilience. Her face, tanned and lined from a lifetime of hard work, tells stories of a life far from easy. Elara's attire, a baggy black dress reaching down to her ankles, is complemented by a worn, light purple shawl, a piece of fabric that has seen better days but holds a comforting familiarity. Her eyes, a deep brown, reflect a world of worry and love, especially for her children.
Elara's son, Tobin, is the light of her life. With his sweet brown eyes, dimples, and button nose, he embodies the innocence she cherishes. Her daughter, Lyra, however, presents a different challenge. Force-sensitive and mysterious, Lyra's wild wavy black hair and large green eyes, set against her moon-pale skin, mark her as different. Her unique, slightly upturned nose adds an endearing quality to her otherwise enigmatic presence. Both children, clad in burlap or patchwork clothing, reflect their family's impoverished state.
The family's move to a remote island halfway across the galaxy was a desperate attempt to shield Lyra from anti-Jedi factions. This decision, while protective, sowed seeds of resentment between Elara and Lyra. Elara's doting on Tobin, treating him like a prince, became more pronounced, perhaps as a way to compensate for the attention she couldn't give to Lyra without drawing unwanted attention.
Elara's life is a tapestry of conflict. The primary tension lies in her relationship with Lyra, strained by the need to hide her daughter's abilities and the fear of discovery. Her protective instincts war with her desire for normalcy and safety for her family. When the Jedi eventually discover Lyra, Elara is forced to confront her fears and the reality of her daughter's destiny.
Elara's unique quirk is her habit of humming old lullabies from her home planet, a soothing ritual that calms her nerves and connects her to her roots. Her motivation is to keep her family safe and together, navigating the treacherous waters of a galaxy that doesn't always understand or accept those who are different. Her journey is one of sacrifice, love, and the painful realization that sometimes, letting go is the greatest act of protection.
