OC Introduction - Isla Tinero-Antilles

MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU, DAY ONE: I'm One with the Force, and the Force is with Me

Taking to the skies to fly into battle with resistance fighters, wielding a lightsaber to avenge a friend that been harmed, or breaking an oath to protect those who can't protect themselves; May fourth is a day to honor the light side characters who can and cannot utilize the Force. Highlight their journey(s), their role(s) in the grand scheme of things, the impact(s) they've created on themselves and everyone around them, etc.

Born in 6BBY to Wedge Antilles and Mala Tinero, Isla's life was marred by tragedy from a young age when her mother, maternal grandfather, and several other relatives were killed by the Empire, Isla herself only surviving because Mala managed to hide her in an underground safe house. Nonetheless it was still twelve hours before anyone found her as they had to dig through the rubble to get to her, - this incident served as the final catalyst for Wedge to join the Rebellion, taking his daughter with him, though for her own safety she ended up smuggled to an Outer Rim world while he fought for the Alliance.

As a result, Isla didn't see much of her father, but she supported the Rebellion and was always frustrated that she couldn't do more to help, though she was determined that once she became a teenager she would find a way to help. But thankfully the main fighting ended before this and Isla rejoiced when the second Death Star was destroyed and the Emperor killed and she was able to reunite with her dad, and after the treaty was signed, she and Wedge settled on Hosnian Prime, and she was able to enjoy peace for the first time in her life. But she was still unsettled, the Corellian wanderlust still very much present, and she wanted to go out and explore the galaxy any way she could - eventually, years later, following in her father's footsteps and becoming a pilot, though she had no plans to become a fighter, instead just wanting to see the universe for herself.

This all changed when the First Order started making waves - although the New Republic didn't consider them a threat, Isla knew this could escalate, and signed up to join the Defense Fleet. A few years later tragedy struck her life again when Ben Solo turned Dark and slaughtered most of Luke Skywalker's Jedi students, and Mara, Nellith, and Reyana - people Isla knew and loved, people she considered family - were apparently killed as well. It was clear that the First Order was far more dangerous than anyone had realised and Isla - incensed at the lack of action from the New Republic - became part of the Resistance alongside her stepbrother Temmin Wexley, and by 34BBY holds the rank of Commander, having led multiple missions against the rising tyranny in the galaxy.

But the biggest threat is yet to come - and it won't be long before Isla comes face to face with the ghosts of her past...

How are your OCs' relationships with their mothers?

Oho, this is a good question because it varies from OC to OC - so I'll group similar ones together (and I'm putting them under the cut because I have a lot of OCs)

Several do not have great relationships with their mothers - Nicky's parents left her behind with relatives when she was six and she's very bitter about this, and still doesn't entirely believe that her aunt won't one day do the same. Sophie Sloan (Diagnosis Murder OC) was abandoned by her mother when she was two years old - she doesn't remember enough to miss her, but part of her can't help but feel it was a judgement on her. My X-Men OCs Alex, Rosa, and Kate left their respective homes because of their mothers' anti-mutant sentiments and there's no reconciliation on the horizon because unfortunately, that hasn't changed in the years since. Marie Douglas (The Professionals) and Brianna Louise Wilson (NCIS) left home at thirteen and eighteen respectively because they were unwanted compared to thier siblings and damn well knew it.

Steph Taylor and Brianna Thawne get along with their mothers but it is somewhat distant - Steph's worked a lot during her childhood and while she doesn't exactly begrudge her that there's still a little bit of resentment there, and they only tend to talk on holidays and birthdays. Brianna's loves her, but unintentionally put pressure on her by talking about the high achieving relatives, which made Brianna push herself and push herself until she burnt out, and then she left home at seventeen to find herself (and became a Blue Flame Wielder), and has hardly talked to her since. Risa Redlark (Superman Returns) talks to her mother but struggles to connect with her as she doesn't understand why Risa wants to be a journalist. Áine (The Witcher) doesn't see her mother much because she travels a lot, but still tries to make time to see her when she can.

Some of them had positive relationships with their mothers but are missing them for one reason or another. Meri Solo, Isla Tinero-Antilles and Ashley Tanner (my Krypton OC) loved their mothers, but lost them at a young age - out of the three, Ashley has more memories as she was ten (compared to Isla at 4 and Meri at 5), but sometimes suffers doubt about whether her mother would've accepted her gender identity had she lived, and that unanswered question colours things a bit.

Eliana's mother Lana Lang is presumed dead - nothing's ever been confirmed, as there's no way to contact her Earth, but Eliana is mostly convinced that she's dead, because there's no way that her mother wouldn't have been helping more metas and aliens get off-world and she would be killed if caught, and Eliana misses her so much but hardly allows herself to think of any possibility she might be alive because it's too painful (but nonetheless, a small part of her hopes.) Nellith does think her mother is dead because of the severed Force Bond and this devastates her and she struggles to talk about it with anyone - even Meri, the person who ends up looking after her for the next fourteen years.

Emile Brooke has been mostly raised by her grandparents and doesn't see her mother often - as of the start of the story it's been two years since she last saw her - but she doesn't doubt that she loves her, even with the complicated circumstances. Lissa Blackwood has not contacted her mother in fifteen years and although she feels so very guilty about this, is nonetheless convinced it is for the best.

The rest have pretty solid relationships with their mothers. The Barnes children all adore Leah, and look up to her a lot, Gemma Laura McKinney still regularly visits both her parents, and James Connors thinks Nicky is the best mom ever and he's so happy to have been adopted by her. Maia Curry only knows the one parent but that's enough for her and she's never felt unloved or been bothered by the lack of a father. Sophia Reynolds has been raised only by her mom for the last eleven years (because they had to flee their home planet and have no way of contacting Mal Reynolds to let him know they're alright), and is very protective of her mom.

Theo Thawne loves his mom Laura to pieces and even started studying to become a social worker like her. Sarah Thompson got along very well with her mother, and Alex always tried to find a way to talk to her mom when she could, unless she was on an undercover mission - even though there was still some disagreement over Alex joining SHIELD in the first place. Hannah Edwards is happy to be Jane's kid, and though she has a desire to find her birth father, she is not so bothered about finding out about her birth mother (she does eventually get to meet Bobbi, but it takes some time for the relationship to become cordial). Caitlin Sherwood (Buffyverse) speaks to her mother once a week and sees her when she can and gets along with her well, she's just often very busy. Niamh (OUAT) lives with both parents and is the light of their lives, Joanna (Uncharted) was mostly raised by her mother and maternal aunt and considers them as the most important people in the life, and Mel Hathaway (Star Trek) has a somewhat strained but mostly loving mother (she just disagreed with Mel joining Starfleet after she was nearly killed while on a routine trip to Vulcan).

As for the others I just haven't got that far.
