Biography Edit

Early HistoryEdit

Prior to 0 BBY, Fiola was lead vocalist and mandoviol player for Moonbeam Levels, a musical group of some renown in the Core worlds. However, after a deal gone sour between the group's manager and silent financier Graza the Hutt, Moonbeam Levels was on indefinite hiatus, and Fiola was left simply blowing from port to port, singing and playing her mandoviol to small crowds and trying to figure out what to do next.

Off the ChartsEdit

Escape from the Star QueenEdit

Aboard the luxury liner Star Queen, fate dealt Fi an unexpected hand when the vessel was attacked and destroyed by Tarvos Ghull's pirate band. Narrowly escaping in a pod, Fi became acquainted with Koro Bolera, and she, Koro, and the pod's other passengers were soon rescued by Damon Aligeri and Mir'isha, aboard the Ravenstar.

They soon encountered the Destiny's Light, and Fiola joined Kenlan As-Buka and Tam Dawncaller aboard that vessel, Mimbos bound. There, she became extremely close with Tam Dawncaller, and despite herself, Fi truly cared about someone other than herself for the first time. This affection has continued, and Fi considers Tam to be the one being in the universe that she loves unconditionally.

It was on this same planet that Fi met Luis Santiago and Tey Spires. However, her, Tam, and Kenlan's hasty departure from Mimbos prevented her from getting to know the pair any better at that time, though they were all reunited a short time later on Burista.

Revelations Edit

There, Fi succumbed to the effects of the Darkseed toxin, and murdered five officers aboard the Imperial Star Destroyer Widower. Horrified by her actions, Fi wants only to atone for what she's done, and to try to make the galaxy a better place in the name of those whose lives she has taken.

When Fi and her friends were approached in space by the mysterious Ququor, Fi began to feel overwhelmed by all the high adventure (and the constant fearing for one's life that accompanied it), and vowed to leave the ship at the next port. It was an easy decision, compared to that of leaving Tam; the young Jedi was clearly falling in love with her, and, despite his youth, Fi couldn't be sure she didn't feel the same. Not wanting to complicate his life any further, Fi left Tam with a song she'd written for him and, when the Koralak touched down on Tatooine, she ventured into Mos Eisley alone.

A Rolling StoneEdit

Recovery in the Outer Rim Edit

There, she was rescued from a bit of drunken foolishness by Luis and Tey, and the trio barely had time to catch their breath before being nearly hit by a crashing X-wing starfighter belonging to Zealos Reil. The three of them (later joined by Reil himself) found refuge in the home of Cali, a slave girl. Momentarily safe, Fi found herself again flirting shamelessly with Luis, who seemed to be enjoying the attention. Guilt nagged at Fi, however; though she was attracted to the doctor, Fi was afraid she might be 'rebounding' from Tam, and elected not to take it any further, lest she hurt Luis's feelings.

She needn't have worried. After they liberated Cali from the clutches of Bartok the slaver, Luis became aware of a much greater danger pursuing them, and sacrificed himself to keep the unknown evil off their trail. He left behind only a datapad for Fi (and one for Tey) explaining his unspoken love for Fi, and his desire to keep her and her companions safe from harm.

Reunited with Koro Bolera and Tonto the droid aboard the Long Shot, Fi, Tey, Zealos, Cali and the mysterious Tarynn Gray lifted off of Tatooine and landed on Ryloth, where Fi and Cali narrowly escaped being sold to slavers, and led everyone to the villains' hideout. Unexpectedly, Fi was reunited with Tam there as well, and after another frightening use of Tam's extra-dimensional power, the group escaped the Ryloth system aboard the slave transport Emigrant, in consort with the crew of the Nova Viper.

The two vessels then touched down on Gamorr, where they set about investigating an ancient Sith academy. There, Fi and Tam were separated from the others, and found themselves in a chamber that seemed to be telepathically catering to their deepest wishes, and darkest desires. They resisted its influence and, due to the noble sacrifice of the Jedi Athelias, were able to rejoin the others and escape Gamorr.

Inex Jonn and The Luminous Three Edit

Their next stop was Rothana, where Tey Spires wanted to leave the group and pursue an old foe. It was here that Fi, racked with guilt about what effect she may be having on Tam's development, ran away from him and the others, leaving the boy a note reading only two words: "I'm sorry". She made it to the city of Jynton, where she was recognized and approached by a Sakiyan named Inex Jonn and his trio of identical dancers, The Luminous Three. Agreeing to accompany the touring dancers as a backing musician, Fi joined the group aboard their vessel, the Skalen II. After an exchange with one of Rothana's orbiting customs vessels and some trouble aboard Mull Station, the group travelled to Ashlud City, Kamino, where Fi learned the sad truth about The Luminous Three.

A harrowing adventure ensued, resulting in Fi taking possession of the Skalen II (which she then renamed the Dawncaller in honor of Tam Dawncaller, her lost love) and Inex Jonn sentenced to death by Seema Mull. Fiola then delivered her new friends Vonn Ellu, Amra, and Celeste to Vonn's home planet of Kwenn, before returning to Mull Station to work for the crimelord Obar Mull.

Solo GigEdit

One SlipEdit

When Tarvos Ghull came to Mull station in pursuit of Mir'isha and her Jedi companions, Fi's concern for her friends was sensed in the Force by Verik Aligeri, who was traveling with the pirate lord. Though Fi did her best to shield her thoughts from the young Force-user, Verik was able to telepathically extract the words "nova viper".

Mull Station MayhemEdit

No one was more surprised than Fi when, some days later, none other than Inex Jonn appeared on Mull Station's portside bridge, alive and mostly-well. The Sakiyan had with him Mir'isha as his prisoner, and brought news of the imminent arrival of her Jedi friends, in pursuit. Hoping to get back into Obar Mull's good graces (and escape a second execution order from the crimelord's wife, Seema), Inex urged Obar to collect the bounty on not only Mir'isha, but her Jedi friends as well.

The negotiations were interrupted by newcomer Jason Greysands, who brought frightening tales of Mull Station's mysterious past and, in the confusion, captured Inex and Mir'isha for his own purposes. Fi pursued the group, finding only Inex Jonn, shot. The Sakiyan had time only to beg Fi's forgiveness before dying of his injuries.

Rescue MissionEdit

True to Inex's word, one of the Jedi did appear: Damon Aligeri. Damon informed Fi that Mir'isha had been taken from Greysands by Tarvos Ghull's cronies and was on her way to the pirate's flagship, the Twilight's Edge. Using her influence with Obar Mull, Fi was able to outfit herself and Damon with weapons and the pair, accompanied by her droid Beat, made for Ghull's fleet in the Dawncaller.

There, Fi was able to help Damon rescue Mir, defeat the pirate lord, and make peace with his younger brother Verik. With news from Damon that Tam, Fi's lost young love, had also come to Mull Station aboard a ship called the Drifter, Fi bid the pair a fond farewell and took Beat and the Dawncaller back toward Mull Station.

A Trail Runs ColdEdit

Above the Station, Fiola was warned by station controllers that the Imperial Star Destroyer Interrogator was in the area, and learned that the Drifter was last seen in its clutches. Hoping for the best, Fi travelled to the coordinates and allowed the Interrogator to bring her aboard. In short order she was brought before High Inquisitor Tremayne, who informed Fi that Tam's love for her had been sending out ripples in The Force, which had enabled the Inquisitor to track and capture the boy. He then had her imprisoned, to contemplate how Tam's capture had been entirely her fault.

When he returned to free her, almost as an afterthought, Tremayne brought Fi to a morgue aboard the ship, where he presented Tam's body to the horrified girl. This was actually Waneta West, a shape-changing impostor. Explaining that Tam had died in questioning, Tremayne ordered Fi returned to her ship.

Beat, meanwhile, had previously encountered Waneta, but mistakenly believed that it was Fi herself who was a shape-changer. He tried to reunite with Fi at the Dawncaller to discuss the matter, but was tragically ionized by Imperial pursuers.

The Dawncaller was forcibly expelled from the Interrogator by tractor beam, the Star Destroyer leaving The Whirl nebula shortly thereafter. Shattered by grief, Fiola Shaku allowed the Dawncaller to drift in the Whirl, its life support powering down, nearly killing the girl. A last-minute rescue by Obar Mull's forces 'saved' Fi from that fate, and she was brought back to Obar's side of Mull Station to recuperate. Finding herself unable to play the mandoviol anymore due to badly frozen extremities, Fiola sank into a whirlpool of depression, turning to drink and alienating what few friends she still had - to say nothing of her host, Obar Mull, who exiled Fi from his side of the station until the girl could find her way again.

After a halfhearted near-suicide attempt aboard the Dawncaller, Fi decided that the only way she could end her own life would be to remove her conscious mind from the equation and, as a result, made for the Burista system. There, she resigned herself to the Darkseed effect, but was interrupt by a meeting with Mr. Mace, her love Tam's pet when she'd first known him. Seeing the emaciated state the Fabool was in, Fi decided to leave the planet and turn her attention toward reviving the animal's health - after that, whatever became of Fiola Shaku would be anyone's guess.

Personality and traits Edit

A twenty-two year-old human, Fiola Shaku is short, cute, lively and sarcastic. In contrast to her small frame, she has a very big personality, and is typically either loved or hated by everyone she meets (usually the former). She has the ability to strike up a conversation with just about anyone, and a knack for being able to cut right to the heart of a matter. Fiola's friendly manner is tainted by a selfish streak, however, and apart from the pals she's made in her recent adventures, she has no lasting friendships. Still, those who have spent time with Fi always remember her as the central figure in one of the best parties they ever attended.
