History:

Azure is from a small city on Ryloth. Her father was one of the best mecanics on the planet and ran the city's hanger. Near the end of the Clone Wars a Jedi Starfighter crashed outside the city after being shot down by her betraying clones. The members of the city took the young Jedi in and salvaged what they could of the ship and destroyed the rest. She took a liking the Azure the instant she met the eight-year-old and asked her to care for her driod. In reality she knew something would one day happen and wanted the driod to look after her. Unfortunetaly, the Jedi died. The city would not go along with the Empire and was first punished by being cut off from all trade. In response they hired smugglers to bring them food and supplies. When the Empire found out they destroyed the city. During the fire fight R2-D6 led Azure to an out of the way storage chamber and locked them inside. A few days later the smugglers showed up on schedule. They found that she was the only surviver and took her in. She learned everything she could from the family of smugglers ans soon became an excellent pilot. When rumors of the Death Star started circling she left her adopted family and went in search of the Alliance to help them.
