Najwa Sapphire Character in The Outer Reaches | World Anvil

Najwa Sapphire

People are often mistrustful of Zeltron, and for good reason. Though often the most happy go-lucky of species due to an absolute detestation of negative emotions, they often manipulate feelings to avoid them. Najwa was found wandering the streets as a youngling, wandering back and forth before the temple of those that know of the Force before she caught the eye of a talent scout belonging to Latoosa the Hutt, who noticed the young girl had... a way with people.   Those of the Jedi temple (if it could be called that), usually the least generous people of the city, were happy to ply her with treats, credits, and even a man’s coin purse. She was smart and gifted in ways that intrigued the scout. Latoosa, upon meeting her, understood, as he had nearly conned the Hutt out of her favorite treat before the gangster snapped to her senses and put the girl to work. Najwa grew quite skilled in getting what she wanted, but had a strange mean streak when her sense of justice was offended, often lashing out when those who were seen as other or lesser were treated badly. She would become downright vicious.   Latoosa realized the potential and sent her to work the podracing circuit. At first she did small things; greasing palms, setting up meetings with members who otherwise disinclined to show. Najwa had a way of things, of making people do what she wanted. Normally, she would chalk it up to the pheromones she knew her people secreted, but there was something else, something more, like a level of herself she didn’t fully understand yet.   However, she was young and naive in a cutthroat world. Gaur the Blade noticed her as she flitted through the crowd. He also noticed the mercenary following her, jagged blade drawn, most likely the victim of one of her cons gone wrong. Gaur approached as the mercenary pulled back the blade to run the girl through and with a quick slice through the spine and Najwa spun around to realize what he’d done. She was incredibly endeared to him from that day forth, constantly like his shadow, trying to help in any way she could. In time...Latoosa didn’t send her missions anymore, no matter how successful she was.   She’d been forgotten in the pits. It stung worse than she realized it could, as she lost the only family she’d ever known. She began to observe the engineer, Ghalgeer, a brilliant but strange man who once caught her tinkering with his things only to hear the hum of a small engine he had been working on. The girl was a natural. She decided to learn, mostly creating little machines to help Ghalgeer work in exchange for his knowledge. It was at his shop one day that she saw a man and his wife and couldn’t help but feel the negative emotions radiating between them before she even noticed the very ostentatious lightsaber swinging at the man’s side. Likely won in a card game with a scavenger. He’d come in drunk to request work from Ghalgeer and couldn’t help showing off the saber, but had nearly sliced one of Ghalgeer’s counters in half just trying to turn it on.   It was his showmanship, as well as the bruises on the wife that gave Najwa her next job. What happened next was between her, him, the wife, and the lightsaber, all anyone knows is the next time Najwa came to the pits, he had a new belt accessory.   The Lightsaber had called to her, and Najwa was sure her greatest adventure lay ahead.
