General
Name: Kitt Laindarell
Faction: Independant
Rank: Skipper
Species: Chikarri
Age: 12 (young adult in Chikarri terms)
Sex: Female
Height: 1.22 m
Weight: 39 kg
Eyes: Black
Hair: Dark Brown
Skin: Tan
Force Sensitive: Yes
Details
Appearance:
Kitt is a Chikarri, a short, squirrel-like mammalian covered almost entirely with a pelt of thick fur, with the exception of her snout, ears and fingers. Chikarri are semi-bipedal and are able to drop to all fours when sprinting. This, combined with a long tail, helps give them extraordinary balance and impressive climbing abilities. Kitt's red-tan skin and darker fur mark her out as originating from the southeastern continents among her own species.
Kitt's metabolism is also much higher than that of most other species, giving her quick, darting actions and equally rapid speech patterns. Like most Chikarri, she has a tendency towards making grammatical shortcuts when speaking the laboriously slow Galactic Basic.
Biography:
Kitt grew up on her species' homeworld of Plagen in a family that was large even by Chikarri standards, albeit relatively well off. All Chikarri are naturally intelligent and inquisitive creatures but, from a young age, Kitt grew increasingly fascinated with flight and space travel. On completing her education at the age of six she took an apprenticeship as an engineer on one of the low-orbit space stations surrounding Plagen but soon transferred to the crew of a small trader that had been passing through. Within a year she was performing the role of pilot as well as engineer - her mostly humanoid crewmates attributing her almost-unnatural piloting skill to her species. But, ever restless, Kitt grew tired of running and re-running the same few trading routes for these rather pedestrian traders and felt the urge to move on. After unshipping at Corellia, four years after joining the crew, she combined her backed up wages with a not-inconsiderable loan to strike out into business on her own.
A derelict Sullustrian luxury shuttle was the first investment to catch her eye. Buying it for a pittance from a scrap dealer, she spent the next year using it as a stationary home and engineering workshop as she gradually stripped out and refitted practically every part of it, paying her way with odd jobs and engineering commissions about the port. The end result was unique, and almost unrecognisable from the rusted yacht it had been. A fast, durable and comfortable transport for both cargo and passengers. More importantly, one that could be piloted and managed by herself alone. With the final addition of some light armaments - as is necessary in such a fractured galaxy - she christened the ship Sikrit after the birds-of-prey of her home planet.
Sikrit thus far has completed several successful trading runs without issue through Kitt's familiar territory along the Hydian Way and the ever adventurous pilot is now beginning to look for lucrative options further afield.
Strengths:
+Highly intelligent, with an uncanny skill for building and maintaining technology.
+Keen balance, quick reactions and good night-vision.
+Gifted pilot, albeit untested in combat.
Weaknesses:
-Difficulty communicating with "slower" species, often leading to frustration and dismissal. Kitt is generally somewhat irritable at the best of times anyway.
-Has to eat significant amounts of food daily owing to her fast metabolism. Weakens quickly without food.
-Small stature and light build.
-Suffers from an almost insatiable wanderlust.
