Kaia Flynn

Personality:
Kaia is the type of girl who learns best by practical methods; by getting out there and learning rather than through 'classroom' type lessons. She is however, extremely curious and constantly full of questions; about the Jedi ways, about the Force, about all sorts of things. She's constantly keen to learn, but at the same time does struggle with some aspects of Jedi teachings; suppressing her emotions for one thing. She's constantly energetic and always on the go; she can't stay still for 5 minutes. If ever upset, Kaia will retreat to a quiet place; she doesn't open up easily and bottles her sadness up as much as she can. She is empathic and in tune with other's emotions naturally; always tries to be compassionate and kind to everyone. Unless of course they have done something against an innocent, or particularly one of her friends/loved ones. Loyal to a fault, Kaia is determined and will not give up easily - she's persistent to an almost annoying degree, in both her curiousity and desire to learn more and in her quest to 'annoy' anyone she comes up against; be it verbally or in a fight.

Kaia is also full of cheek, mischief and has been known to crack out lines in perhaps not the best situations. She'll goad an opponent if she thinks she can get away with it - not a very Jedi-like trait at all, but she was inducted into the Order late after all. She does tend to be impatient and even reckless, acting on impulse and often diving in without thinking if the situation is dire.

Strengths:

 * Naturally good at speedy activities, stealth and sneaking, from pranks and mischief pulled with her brother as a child.
 * Strong moral compass; Kaia will always, always try her best to help someone in need.
 * Determined: she'll never give up on a task until it's complete, granted yes she might be distracted for a second or two but she always tries to complete her task.

Weaknesses:

 * Claustrophobic.
 * Can be easily distracted or set off topic if something she considers important comes up.
 * Sometimes lets her emotions get the better of her, and doesn't let people 'in' easily.
