Personal history

Tobi's parents were freight transporters, her father a freighter pilot and her mother the ship's technician. The three of them lived aboard their freighter, travelling across the galaxy, following whatever freight happened to be most lucrative, at the moment.
 
When Tobi was 9, she and her parents arrived on Hovi V, to pick up a load of durasteel to bring back to the core. While on planet, her parents gave her a list of necessities to purchase, while they got the freight loaded. Tobi spent some of the money on a travelling show, which kept her a few hours later than she was supposed to be. When she returned to the starport, her parent's ship was gone, and all anyone could tell her was that the ship had left a few hours ago.
 
With the war in full swing, Hovi V didn't have many ways to accommodate young Tobi, and nobody seemed to have any idea who her parents were or where they had gone, as they didn't seem to exist in any systems. Tobi was taken in by the prot workers, though, and a few of them took it upon themselves to show her the ropes and to help feed, clothe, and shelter her, when possible, though most of them had little more than her.
 
So Tobi survived, and she learned more about mechanical work and port work than she ever thought she needed to know. The next ten years went on like this, and the transition from Republic to Empire was barely noticed. The same people were in charge, mostly, they just had different uniforms and flags, which mean close to nothing at all.
 
One day, one of the newer port workers, a man who had started working not long after the transition to Empire, had some odd stormtroopers asking about him, ones wearing all black. Tobi ran to warn him, but when she arrived, it was too late. He was squaring off with the black stormtroopers, armed with a lightsaber. She was nearly collateral damage, when one of the troopers came at her with an electrostaff, but the man saved her life, though at the expense of his lightsaber. He managed to dispatch the remainder of the troopers, but he was grievously wounded. Before he died, he gave her the damaged lightsaber and told her, "Keep it safe. You'll need it."
 
Since then, she's been terrified that stormtroopers will come after her, but so far none have come looking, so she has kept at her daily routine.

Education

Tobi has not had any formal education, but she was trained by her mother, practically from birth, to be a starship mechanic.
 
She is being informally apprenticed by another local mechanic, named Vihan Reddy. He tolerates her presence and will give the occasional tip, when she is doing something wrong.

Employment

She takes irregular repair and scrapping work, where it can be found, mostly fixing mining equipment and hauling droids. During the peak season, she spends almost all of her time down by the starport, begging for work from incoming freighters that may have received some wear and tear along their journey.

Mental Trauma

Despite knowing the idea's absurdity, Tobi still feels, deep down, that it's her fault her parents left without her.
 
Even though she truly desires to leave Hovi V behind and find something better, she feels anxious and afraid of leaving, because her family might return.
 
Tobi tries her best to hide it, but she is packed full of anxiety, insecurity, and dread.

Intellectual Characteristics

Tobi is clever and quick to learn. Even though she's never had an official education, she is a sponge for information from travelers and anyone willing to talk to her. Whatever she didn't learn from the other technicians and scrappers, she has learned by taking apart and putting together whatever she can get her hands on.
