Qadirah, Clan Demargo

Qadirah is a wandering warrioress hailing from Nagi. As yet she has no companions but Silent Strike, her friend-slash-pet Ouk, a predatory bird.

In the Beginning
Born in the year 13 BBY, before dawn on Benduday of the second week of the eighth month, Qadirah grew like any other Nagai of Clan Demargo. She was raised to adhere to honor and proficiency in battle. Shortly after she came of age, she joined her fellow Nagai in fighting the Alliance in 4 ABY. She was just one of the Nagai invading Mandalore, and though in that battle she earned no particular distinction, the call of blood rang loudly in her ears.

The Call of Battle
Her first foe slain in battle was a Tof on Zeltros. He was young; likely not much older than she. Neither were in positions of particular tactical importance, as young as they were, but Qadirah didn't care. She was part of a scouting party that caught a Tof scouting party unawares, and the battle was brief, but it remained forever etched in her memory. She was almost slain by her counterpart, but even as he drove a blade into her side, her own found his neck. After awakening in a medical facility, she was chastised for forgoing her blaster--then congratulated for her bravery.

Settling on Saijo held no appeal, not while the Tofs still held Nagi. So, as much as following a Mandalorian chafed, she followed her countrymen in following Fenn Shysa to liberate Nagi from the Tofs. The battles were many and the victories achieved with blood and loss, but achieved they were. In the end, though they couldn't fully eradicate the Tofs from Nagi, they took back their home world.

The Future
After reclaiming Nagi, there was the obvious question: "What now?" Qadirah, neither farmer nor politician nor artist, had little to offer the rebuilding of a world. She turned to the honing of her craft, to the expansion of her mind, even going so far as to obtaining and adopting an Ouk, a type of predatory bird native to certain well-sheltered forests and islands renowned for being intelligent and cunning. Even that couldn't keep her on Nagi. So she turned to the rest of the universe, deciding to explore as much of it as she could, see all she could see.

After wandering aimlessly, Qadirah heard about a place called Nar Shaddaa, a crossroads of sorts, of lights, money, and opportunity. Where a woman might just find a job that would let her see even more, do even more. So she spent the last credits she could to transport herself and Silent Strike, her Ouk, to Nar Shaddaa.
