A purple-hued twi'lek woman with golden yellow eyes, her build is lean and her lekkus rather long and slender, reaching the small of her back though barely thicker than her arm. She is comparatively tall and though she carries herself in a relatively unassuming manner, there are hints of a show dancer's gait in the way she moves. She prefers to keep her clothing unassuming, usually throwing on some form of local equivalent to a cape to draw less attention to her. However, beneath she may indulge in something more eye-catching and form fitting, suitable for combat or making a speedy escape.
Tali Sroka is no greenhorn when it comes to dealing with those who wish her ill. At some point, she managed to cross the wrong people, and now they've got a mark on her hide for it. While such experiences have hardened her for adrenaline-filled moments of evading those who seek to make her their quarry, she can never be quite sure if she is truly safe, for promises of wealth or power can turn even the most seemingly stalwart of allies to enemies with knives poised at her back.
Tali Sroka 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, Tali Sroka bounced from owner to owner until she became a teenager. Having to endure horrible treatment during this time in her life, Tali Sroka 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.
Tali Sroka doesn't like conflict; so she tries to avoid it whenever possible, both in terms of combat, and interpersonal relations.
Tali Sroka doesn't do anything without first having a plan, and is constantly overheard advising others to always “think through their exits”. Every movement she makes—be it combative, manipulative or otherwise—is premeditated and thought out ahead of time. This foresight often places Tali Sroka two steps ahead of her peers. However, when plans go awry, Tali Sroka often has to first backtrack those same two steps to address the present, and that hesitation can often be line between success and failure in the heat of a situation.
Tali Sroka is more proficient with controlling her lekku than most of her peers, being able to use them for more complicated actions than merely subtle gestures. Beyond this, however, Tali has trained to use her lekku in a more offensive capacity if necessary, adding protection to the tips. This allows the use of lekku as an unexpected blunt instrument, flailing around to slap an unobservant opponent or wiggling as a distraction. Though offering an unpredictable vector of attack, the tactic is also fraught with danger as the naturally sensitive organs are left exposed and repeated blunt impact may leave the user dizzy and disoriented, not to mention the extra mental strain required to move the lekku in the first place.
Tali Sroka will never go into any situation head-on. Whether it be combat or just strolling down the street, she will stick to the shadows or cloak themselves in the Force. The less they are seen the better. If they cannot sneak up on someone, then Tali Sroka will not bother confronting them.
