Samila Pala grew up never knowing her family. She was sold into slavery very young, and was put to work almost immediately. However, due to her age, Samila Pala bounced from owner to owner until she became a teenager. Having to endure horrible treatment during this time in her life, Samila Pala has lingering trust issues while carrying an absolute hatred toward slavers. If confronted with acts of slavery, she will most likely lash out in some way, regardless of it compromises her objective.

A hard life as a former slave and bounty hunter has led Samila to put a premium on her own self-preservation. The benefit is when the going gets tough, she gets going. She never says die, and never gives up. On the downside, nothing angers her as much as a person who doesn't struggle to make things better, or who surrenders to the nameless forces of the universe. Also, while not capricious, she is prepared to walk away for anyone or anything if it means putting her survival first; she's not taking any blaster shots for anyone.

Samila is an irascible, churlish curmudgeon at heart. Cynicism is her middle name; it is the tool with which she judges everything in life. The "merit" of this is that, when bad things happen or others try to take advantage of her, she is rarely surprised. The "flaw" is she tends to assume the worst and make judgments that sometimes turn out to be wrong, to her detriment. Plus, it's just obnoxious!

Samila is by nature a malcontent, iconoclast and free-thinking recalcitrant. She is so independent-minded and free-willed she has stayed away from any cause or movement. Credits aside, she only desires the freedom to be herself. A flaw of this is she does not make a good follower or a very good leader either (unless her followers are willing to go wherever she leads). She tends to be insubordinate to authority to the point of stupidity.

Twi'lek women are famous across the galaxy for their beauty, so Samila uses that to her advantage. If her target lets her in close enough to whisper sweet nothings in his or her ear, then she's close enough to stick a blade in his back as well. The downside is that getting intimate with the enemy also means exposing yourself as well; she has to keep just enough clothes on to conceal that blaster or that knife...

Samila is a quick draw artist with a preference for dual wielding blasters. She likes using her charms and her looks to kill her contracts softly, but she is not above a good old fashioned firefight. The downside is that she is at a heavy disadvantage with melee weapons. But who brings a dagger to a blaster fight?!
