Biography:
Ashara grew up for a short time in her home star cluster, till she showed signs of being force sensitive. Which was a surprise because nether of her parents, or close relations have ever had any force sensitivity. Niece to the Queen Mother, she was raised around the court but was always playing “warrior” with other children her age. When her parents saw the signs of her being force sensitive they asked the Queen Mother to contact the Jedi Council. Even though they didn’t want to let their only child nor less a Hapan girl out of the cluster, they knew that, that was the right life for her. She was always their little warrior girl. If it wasn’t for her force sensitivity she might have ended up going into the Hapan military. The Queen Mother didn’t want to make contact with the outside world, she drug her feet till Ashara’s mother made her do it. By using the line “You want what is best for you right? If so contact them. That is where she needs to be.” In the end the Jedi Council was contacted and arrangements made for a Jedi to come with a special clearance code to come and retrieve Ashara.
But due to the Hapan Clusters rep of being a end game for anyone stupid enough to go near it, it was no wonder that the Jedi Council had a hard time finding a female Jedi willing to risk her life to retrieve Ashara.
Jedi Master: Linara Sintari (My main Twi'lek OC)

So I'll explain a bit how this all came about first.
Me and my husband where playing Star Wars the Old Republic. And I have kinda always wanted to do a Star Wars costume. So we started brain storming.
Anyway I started drawing and after a few days came up with the design that you are now looking at the in progress shoots of.
This costume is taking so long because everything is professionally finished.
I look to enter at lest this piece in the 2013 Sakura Con Costume Contest, Seattle WA
Time So Far: 15 hours
But I am also designing and making two other costumes this year for Star Wars.
One is for my husband; the other is for my friend Ryan.
