Mai Qel-Droma

"Take good care of Gabriel..."

- Mai to her brother, Markus Qel-Droma

Early Life
Mai was born on Coruscant and quickly taken into the Jedi Order along with her older brother, Markus. Due to their powerful bloodline, they both excelled in their training. Markus focused more on training in the stealth and sensing aspects of the Force, while Mai trained more on enhancing her practical skills with it.

Jedi Padawan
When she was old enough to be taken as a padawan, she was trained by Norak Quime. He was quite the diplomat and a great negotiator, but used rather unconventional methods when it came to lightsaber combat. He considered it more of a mind game than a physical fight. Mai couldn't understand his saber techniques, so she looked to other Jedi Masters for guidance in that area.

During one of their missions, they were split up and Mai was captured. She was under the influence of a neural scrambler and locked in a crate to be shipped to Nar Shadaa. Luckily, she was rescued by Bryce Black, the smuggler hired to transport her. Together, they exposed the Hutt who attempted to enslave her and brought the evidence to the Jedi Council, who had him arrested.

Smuggler
During their mission to bring down the Hutt, Mai fell in love with Bryce. She decided to leave the Jedi Order so she could live with him since he didn't want to stop his smuggling career, and she had been dying to travel the galaxy on her own terms rather than under the will of the Jedi Council. Within a few years, she married Bryce and they had a son, Gabriel.

Death
Their life seemed to have a bright future until a relative of the Hutt who attempted to buy Mai sent mercenaries after them. Bryce took Mai and Gabriel to Corellia to look for his father, Macros, but he had already left. They gave the four year old Gabriel to Markus for safe keeping until the danger had passed. The next night, their apartment was bombed and neither survived.

Personality and traits
Mai had always been headstrong and independent, but usually followed the orders she was given by the Jedi Council. When she was young, she would stare into space dreaming about all of the other planets in the galaxy. Until she met Bryce, she didn't believe that she could travel the galaxy without permission from the Council. She took the opportunity to go with Bryce, which led to both her happiness and her death.

Powers and abilities
Mai's command over the Force was much stronger than any normal human of her age, but she usually didn't use the Force for much more than enhancing her own skills. Under Master Quime, her saber combat techniques were a bit faulty since she couldn't fully grasp his concepts of mental fighting. She learned the basics of what she needed to survive, but it wasn't enough in the end.
