Character Information:
Character Name: Jaina Solo
Age: 24-25ish
Canon: Star Wars: Expanded Universe
Appearance:
Obviously, Jacen's Jaina's most striking feature would be her his eyes, which are the color of a fine Corellian brandy. In fact, this is reinforced so much in canon, that it is possible that even looking at Jacen Jaina Solo for thirty seconds dead in the eyes would be enough to render any Corellian worth their spice incredibly thirsty without really knowing why. While this has not proven to be a specifically useful skill as of yet, who knows what the future may bring. Either way, his her liquidy eyes are his her calling card whenever Kevin J. Anderson is near.
Like both his her parents, she he also has dark brown hair. She He stands at approximately 5'9".....4'11" B|. And she he can knock out the patented Solo grin with the best of them. And obviously, she's he's a hottie. Look at her his parents.
Personality:
Jaina's most defining trait is easily her determination. When she wants to see something done, she'll get it done through whatever means she can use. Jaina is someone who constantly needs a goal to reach, she's uncomfortable with being idle and would rather be working, whether it's on lightsaber forms or tinkering with machines. Her perspectives tend to be very pragmatic in life, and she isn't one to typically spend a lot of time contemplating the mysteries of the universe or the what ifs. She focuses on the things that are right in front of her, and how to succeed in doing them. Because of this, Jaina has long since learned how to be resourceful with the tools at her disposal. A natural strategist, when she is presented with an obstacle she will utilize every means of defeating it, and if the obstacle's big enough or the end goal is important, she's not afraid of crossing a few lines on the morality spectrum. She can think on her feet, and will make the quick decision without thinking through all of the consequences.
Because of this outlook, Jaina can sometimes come off as close-minded or stubborn. She has no time for tact or pleasantries when dealing with people, and only uses the diplomatic approach when she thinks no other means will work. And while Jaina personally toys with the shades of gray in morality, she has little patience for people who can't make up their mind or choose a side. There is the Right Cause and the Wrong Cause in Jaina's world, and if she thinks you're on the wrong side she'll let you know. Usually with snark or a lightsaber at your throat. She's not the most serene person in the world, she gets angry and defensive easily, and it doesn't take much to provoke her if the provoker knows which spots to hit.
However, when it comes to the people she cares about, Jaina is incredibly protective and almost maternal. She will push people into reaching their potential, and won't tolerate any less from those she has faith in. Jaina doesn't trust easily, but when she does she puts everything into that trust and is unlikely to forgive any transgressions against it. After her younger brother's death, this has only become a stronger mentality, as Jaina is unwilling to lose anyone close to her again. She has an innate fear of letting down those she cares for, and because of that she's intense about getting those close to her to become stronger and safer. If she senses a loved one in danger, Jaina is quick to put her own life on the line to make sure they get to safety.
Outwardly, Jaina is somewhat of a tomboy. She loves flying, mechanics, and other activities that require getting your hands dirty. She spends next to no time on her outward appearance unless she believes that it will get her some benefit in return, and has all the grace and poise of a charging elephant. Conversationally, she's a bit of an ass, usually having a sarcastic reply on the tip of her tongue and is occasionally teasing. Often, she's dismissive of deep or philosophical talks, preferring to deal with things that are more hands-on and tangible, and anything with the abstracts is superfluous information that has no relevance in the real world. Jaina's a girl who deals with the hows, not the whys.
Background:
Here!
Canon point:
I am taking Jaina from the very beginning of the Dark Nest Trilogy, right before she and Zekk become joiners but after they have discovered Raynar's fate. I am chosing this point mainly because I want to try Jaina out from a different canonpoint and also because I think it's hilarious if she is ~older and ~wiser than her twin :|
Special Abilities:
Jaina Solo is a Jedi Knight, one particularly gifted in the Force. She is especially talented in piloting, mechanics, strategy, and being a bamf with a gd lasersword. There is also the ability of the Solo Soulful Stare, which is especially powerful when used in conjunction with her twin brother Jacen's Soulful Stare, creating the Supreme Soulful Solo Twin Stare, which is able to not only stop chaotic events in order to have a poignant moment of caring/anguish depending on the nature of said chaotic moment, but is also used for optimal trolling.
She built her own lightsaber when she was fourteen using a gizka-shaped crystal she grew in a lab. Because holy shit she was a derp as a child. The blade is violet, or blue, depending on how lazy the colorers for the NJO books are at the time.

First Person:
[ the feed clicks on, and immediately a viewer is met with the brandy brown stare of one Jaina Solo.
The annoyed stare of one Jaina Solo. Those who know her may notice that she's aged a few years, looking less girlish and more solidly into her twenties. The raw anger she once held is, while not gone, certainly less prominent in the Force
She is also in her underwear, but pays that little notice as she crosses her arms over her chest and continues the stare down she's initiated ]
If we're going to start making this wonderful vacation a reoccurring thing, it'd probably be best to wait until I'm not in the middle of saving an entire sentinent species.
Five years later and you're still kidnapping to make friends? I think you'd get the hint by now, but it looks like I thought wrong, Revan.
[ her voice drops the hostility for only a moment, but it's clear that she's very intent on her next words ]
My name is Jaina Solo. I'm looking for Anakin Solo. Any information on his whereabouts is rewarded by me not going to find it out myself.
You don't want me finding it out myself.
Third Person:
The log that would never end~ :D
Anything Else: Roommates with Zekk please !
