Character: Jaina Solo
Series: Star Wars: Young Jedi Knights (Wiki)
Character Age: 16
Canon: Since they were born in a galaxy far, far away, wondertwins Jaina and Jacen have been running around having fun through mischievous antics, getting captured by various Forces of Evil, and/or thwarting said Forces of Evil. YJK is basically a series of books in which the twins and their teenage friends do more of the same, but this time they have to fit their adventures in between lessons at their Uncle Luke Skywalker's academy, where they're learning to become Jedi Knights--people who can use a mystical power called the Force, and who often play a role as guardians or mediators for the New Republic.
Jaina herself is said to take after her father (a former smuggler and admitted scoundrel), having such a healthy dose of spirit and self-confidence that she tends to approach things with a take-charge attitude and a self-proclaimed preference for the straightforward approach. This same attitude gets her into trouble due to taking on risky projects without consulting her elders and peers on multiple occasions. Jaina also demonstrates many of the typical sci-fi engineer girl traits; she doesn't act very ladylike, and in much the same way that her brother has an affinity for animal life in general, Jaina has a natural aptitude for all things mechanical that lets her accomplish almost any engineering miracle--which she often does more for the fun of challenging herself than out of any real necessity.
Sample Post: Hi. I'd just like to thank you for inviting me to breakfast with your people, since I came here because Uncle Luke suggested that I spend some time learning about new cultures. And it was very accommodating of you guys to offer me "Jedi-O's" in case I didn't want a helping of brains. But, you know, I think I'm going to have to pass on the whole thing. Yeah, even if it's "the breakfast cereal you eat with the Forks." It's just that when you made the offer earlier, and you said that you'd be having some of the brightest local minds for the meal, I kind of assumed you meant they would be eating with us...instead of being eaten.
I don't mean to be disrespectful--lots of aliens eat different things, and there probably isn't anything wrong with that. So I was thinking that since this is a bit of a cultural conflict, instead of spending breakfast with you, I'd work on a way to compromise--kind of meet each other halfway on the issue. Maybe it'd be a bit easier to accept if you guys didn't just chew on any brain you happen to come across, and made it into more of a civilized meal. That's why my idea is a Brain Ration Processor; just put a, uh, good catch in, and it'll take care of separating it from the rest of the body. Maybe sprinkle in a little seasoning, then grind it up, arrange, and package it so that it looks just like any other ration you'd find on the market. So once I'm done putting the unit together, it'll put out meals that are just as nutritious as the best stormtrooper rations, but they'll probably even taste better. You won't have to follow your nose to get a good meal anymore--whenever you get hungry, you can just chow down on a handy B-Rat.
Well, what are we waiting for? I've already gotten ahold of some of the parts I'll need to put it together. Now, I've tinkered with food processors before, but this is the first time I'll be making one from scratch, so eventually I'll probably be needing some parts I didn't anticipate. So far I've got a lawn mower, a blender, and an old air conditioning unit. And this "expresso" machine will probably give a real kick to the B-Rat's flavor. They all look like they belong in a museum, but I think I can get enough working components from them for most of the project. What I'm going to need you to do is go ahead and start looking for anything that looks like it has parts we can cannibalize for the rest of the processor. This is a list that you can use for reference while you're--hey, hang on, I don't mean for you to--
Okay, I'll admit that "cannibalize" was a poor choice in wording.
