30 Day Character Challenge: Part 1: Childhood 

1. What is your character’s earliest childhood memory?

Gesad remembers fire and smoke. People screaming and running as blaster bolts fly through the air. She remembers that fear that drives one to run even when you can’t any longer. Remembers large scaly hands grapping her, she remembers fighting until everything goes dark.

Asra remembers a warm hand on her shoulder as the Jedi apologises that he can’t take her with him, that she’s too old. She remembers that tiny part of her that had already started to hope that she’d live on the surface instead in the lower levels of Coruscant being crushed in an instance.

Ingrasi remembers sitting at attention, pride swelling in her chest. She remembers a small pain as her ear is pierced and an earring is slipped in. She doesn’t remember the words her parents say but she remembers their smiles. Because with Sith an earring is never just an earring.

Aleena remembers sun on her skin and grass under her feet. She remembers rain constantly beating against her roof. She remembers kind green eyes looking at her as her mother reads her a bedtime story, or are the eyes red? It all mixes together and in the end she doesn’t remember, doesn’t know, if they are real memories.
