"My father was Collum Drogus, a former bounty hunter turned smuggler. He was a very cold man, but loved me deeply as his only daughter. My mother was Imira Kataan Drogus, a former slave. She was rescued by my father before they both became smugglers. She was always very kind and loving to all of us."
4. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
"Four older brothers. Vander was the oldest. He was always overconfident, but he was the best fighter amongst them. He was also very cruel, especially towards animals. Then it was Morin. He was always very quiet, speaking only when necessary. He and I were very close, and he always helped me with my research. Then there was Drymun. He was the only of my brothers who hated fighting. He preferred creating things. He was the inventor and artist of the family. Finally, the youngest brother, Sarin. Sarin was a lot like Father. Cold, but loving to his family. He also happened to share my protectiveness of animals."

"I am 5'5", or 1.65 meters. I weigh about 140 pounds, or 63.5 kilograms. I have very pale ivory skin with faint freckling on my arms and across my cheeks and nose. I have a deceptively muscular physique, with a slim build. My hair is pure white and flows down to my waist. I typically leave it loose, but will occasionally bind it in a tight braid wrapped with a thick leather strip. I do not typically wear makeup, aside from black eyeliner to frame my icey blue eyes. My lips are fairly thin and are naturally red. I do have a rather large scar. Three large stripes that run from my left hip to just below my right shoulder blade. It is typically covered by my standard outfit; a skin tight black jumper made of a strong leather-like material covering from ankles to just under my chin, leaving only my arms exposed. I also wear a pair of custom knee-high combat boots with durasteel plating, and a simple black belt on which I carry my lightsaber."

18. Did you enjoy school?
19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
20. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
"Not necessarily any role models, per se. More like mild inspirations. Most of those being Sith from before the reign of Darth Krayt, the rest being a scattered few military persons from the same eras. To name a few of the greater inspirations: Darth Sidious and his Master Plagueis, Darth Bane, and Darth Nihilus; also Grand Admiral Thrawn and Grand Moff Tarkin of Palpatines Empire."

22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?
24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
"I was always quiet and observant. I was friendly, yet cautious, with everyone. I preferred to be alone or with animals as opposed to being around people. And I was always creative. I still have these traits as an adult."

26. When and with whom was your first kiss?
27. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
28. Tell the story of how you first learned of your Force abilities.
"I was thirteen. My oldest brother had angered me. He lied to our parents claiming that I had unlocked the door to where our father kept the Amphistaffs. I had caught my brother in there moments before our father walked by. As punishment, I had to scrub the entire ship and had to scrub the cages for the exotic creatures he would capture for clients. I was so angry with my brother when he came into the storage area that I pictured all of the cages opening and the creatures attacking him. And that is exactly what happened. Every creature in there attacked him, and he barely made it out alive, locking the door behind him. I could feel hundreds of minds around me and realized it was the creatures, so I pictured them going back into their cages, which they did. I locked the cages and continued cleaning. When my father came in, I told him nothing had happened other than my brother coming in, screaming, then leaving and locking the door."
Part 3: Past Influences
29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
30. Who has had the most influence on you?
31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
32. What is your greatest regret?
33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
"The way I murdered the men who had hired my parents to capture the Nexu cubs. It was brutal, bloody, and glorious. Their screams still echo in my dreams, and I actually enjoy it."

35. When was the time you were the most frightened?
36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
"I would have either never told my parents I wanted to join the Sith, or I would have killed them when they went to lock me in my quarters. That way, I would have been at the Academy sooner. Though, had that happened I never would have gotten Killa."
38. What is your best memory?
"My best memory, aside from the most recent of my apprenticeship, would be the day Killa began responding to commands. That is also the day my Amphistaff, Vipre, became more an extension of me than a tool I was trying to learn to use."
39. What is your worst memory?
"Hands down, would be the day my parents locked me in my quarters after I told them I wanted to become a Sith. When they brought me food, my mother set the tray in and took it out while my father and brothers held me at blaster point."

"Typically, I am cordial to people I first meet, and I give respect to those in authoritative positions. After I get to know someone, I treat them based on a multitude of factors: if they are rude, I am rude in return, if they are kind, I am kind in return, if they are higher ranking and rude, I afford them the respect that comes with their position and no more."
54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
"Currently, Empress Hesper is the most important. As my Master, and the Empress, her teachings and her opinion of me holds the utmost priority. As one who seems to attain knowledge, I revere her and have no desire to disappoint my Master."
55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
"Again that would be the Empress. Not only for her position in the Empire, but also because of what I have learned of her thus far. I will forever have the utmost respect for her, regardless of what the future may bring."
56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people.
"I only have one close friend, Neiko Bloodmoon. She and I have been friends since Tatooine. There is just something about her that made me like her almost instantly.

82. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan?
83. What are your pet peeves?
"Intentionally breaking rules, lack of discipline and decorum when it is required, teasing animals then getting mad at their reactions, disrespect towards anyone undeserving of it, and people who flaunt their superiority and power when they have not earned it."
Part 7: Self Images And Etc.
84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you. How do you feel when this routine is disrupted?
"Typically, I wake up early, do a morning workout, eat, then feed Killa, and take care of Vipre. I typically do whatever I need or want to until midday, when I eat then take Killa out for exercises. After that, I again do what I need or want until the evening meal. After eating, I groom Killa and clean the ship, then shower. After showering, I head to the Horuset Lounge until I get drowsy. My morning and evening routines are important to me, but I can easily adjust if they are disrupted, though I do get fairly annoyed."

92. What are your reasons for being a Sith? Are your real reasons for doing this different than the ones you tell people in public? (If so, detail both sets of reasons…)

93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime?
94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
95. If you could choose, how would you want to die?
96. If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left.
"First, I would give Killa to someone who will care for her as I do. Then I would compile all of my knowledge into a journal and put it in a box with everything I cherish. Finally, I would ensure my tomb or burial place is to my standards and place my box of things there."

98. What three words best describe your personality?
99. What three words would others probably use to describe you?
100. If you could, what advice would you, the player, give to your character? (You might even want to speak as if he or she were sitting right here in front of you, and use proper tone so he or she might heed your advice…)
"I would say, Aralia, keep learning and growing. Do not be afraid to ask for help, especially from your Master. Always be yourself, and never lose your desire to learn. You have very clear goals, keep to them and you will go far. You are a bright and skilled young woman. Keep up the good work."
