Backstory

Born in 35 BBY on Ryloth to Clan Ven, Asha was sold into slavery at the age of five to pay for her older sister's dowry. Enslaved by Zyggerians, she was taken to a compound on a small, remote moon in the Outer Rim. There she was trained as an elite courtesan, someone who was trained to be delightful, entertaining, and useful in and out of the bedroom. She learned music, dancing, singing, several languages, how to make charming conversation, and to be alluring and seductive.Alongside learning all of that, Asha also learned resourcefulness and manipulation as survival tactics, both on her own behalf, and on the behalf of the other enslaved girls. Despite the abuse she endured, her compassion never left her. When she was twelve, she helped another girl named Siah try to escape the compound.However, Siah was caught, and despite enduring terrible punishments, never told them Asha was the one who helped her. Siah was deemed too much of a risk to be sold to the Warden's usual customer base, and was given to the guards as their own plaything. Within a year, Siah took her own life instead of continuing enduring it.Asha carried the guilt with her, and she was determined to escape for both of them. She waited until she was sold and being transported by a couple of guards. Using her wits, she managed to escape, fleeing into the city. From there, she found sympathetic people, and through them was sent to a social program on Coruscant that aimed to reintegrate formerly enslaved Twi'leks into their freedom.Now, Asha works on Coruscant as a dancer, singer, and musician out of the prestigious Highdrop Theater dedicated to entertaining the social and political elite of Coruscant.

Connections

.•° ✿ °•.°•. ✿ .•° Shelda °•. ✿ .•°.•° ✿ °•.
Shelda is Asha's friend and mentor. She runs the Highdrop Theater with her lover and benefactor, Jules Zenon. They take in formerly enslaved Twi'leks and reacclimate them to live in the outside world, supporting them as they heal. Shelda is a mirror to Asha, showing her not only what it takes to survive in the harsh social world of the Coruscanti elite, but also what can happen if one gets trapped by it.
.•° ✿ °•.°•. ✿ .•° Jules Zenon °•. ✿ .•°.•° ✿ °•.
A commander in the Coruscant Planetary Defense Force, Zenon owns the Highdrop Theater. It was originally a project he indulged his mistress Shelda in to keep her happy. However, when he realized it gave him access to vulnerable girls, he feigned a desire to help more closely, and is actively involved in the running of the theater.
.•° ✿ °•.°•. ✿ .•° Ikari °•. ✿ .•°.•° ✿ °•.
Asha's dance partner and closest friend (before Thrawn and Eli come into her life). Formerly enslaved themself, they have a irreverent but bubbly personality that shines through any situation. They are also a skilled dancer, and well matched with Asha.
.•° ✿ °•.°•. ✿ .•° Tika °•. ✿ .•°.•° ✿ °•.
Tika is a soft, shy girl who woildn't say boo to a tooka-cat. Asha takes her under her wing when Tika comes to the Highdrop Theater. Tika is not a dancer, but has a beautiful alto voice that compliments Asha's sweet soprano, and so they sing many duets when performing.
.•° ✿ °•.°•. ✿ .•° Thrawn °•. ✿ .•°.•° ✿ °•.
Asha meets Thrawn while he is still a lieutenant at an Ascension Week party (the very next night after he met Arihnda Pryce). They were intrigued with each other enough to exchange contact information and stay in touch throughout Thrawn's naval career. A friendship developed through correspondence, and whenever Thrawn was on Coruscant, they spent time together. The more they began to understand each other, the deeper the feelings for each other became. Initially, Asha thought that Thrawn would be an ideal benefactor for her, like Zenon to Shelda, but as her feelings for him grew, she felt uneasy about the idea, and never approached it.
.•° ✿ °•.°•. ✿ .•° Eli Vanto °•. ✿ .•°.•° ✿ °•.
Asha met Eli at the same time as Thrawn, and as the same with the Chiss, she exchanged contact information with him. They, too, had a friendship blossom over the Holonet, and spending time when Eli was planetside, both with and without Thrawn. Their friendship was just as deep as Thrawn and Asha'a, though more lighthearted. They consider each other's best friend. Like in all things between he and Thrawn, Eli chafes at the intense connection between Asha and Thrawn, not wanting to be forgotten as the threesome grow closer to one another.

Pinterest Boards

Here's some Asha inspo! Just some Pinterest boards I fiddle with to get an idea of her fashion choices. Because of her job in entertainment, her clothing choices are both self-expression and a tool for her.
