Name: Cardia ‘Sparx’Species: Human
Hair & Eyes: Cardia has long blonde hair. She has bright blue eyes that fade and take on gold flecking that looks like sparks when exposed to bright light. Interestingly, her vision seems to be heightened in low light visibility.
Height & Body Type: Cardia stands at about 5’7” with an athletic build.
Other Physical Characteristics: Cardia was seriously injured in combat, leading to the loss of her left arm from the shoulder down and some visual impairments. Her current left arm is cybernetically enhanced, and she often wears googles or glasses to help with her visual impairments.
Background: Cardia is unaware of what her exact origins were, only that she has lived her entire life on Coruscant. Her earliest memories were of the Jedi Temple and that was where she was educated, and she began her training as an initiate. However, her connection to the force was limited and she was prone to outbursts of emotions, so she never even made it to the level of padawan and instead was passed on to the Jedi Medical Corps for further training and education.
She trained with the Medical Corps under the tutelage of Jedi Master Stass Allie and she excelled at her craft. She was educated as a doctor, while taught to use the force to enhance her medical skills. By the beginning of the Clone Wars (22 BBY), Cardia was 19 and serving as a Junior Doctor at the Jedi Temple Medical Bay. Within 6 months of the war having begun, she volunteered to be a Clone Regiment Medical Officer, as clone medical officer numbers were proving to be inadequate to keep up with the numbers of casualties sustained.
She served at a Casualty Clearing Station for some time, always demanding to work as close to the front as possible. During this time her CCS came under a heavy barrage, and she was injured, having to be cleared out herself. She spent 6 months recovering on Coruscant before being cleared for duty once again. She’s returned to her Clone Regiment and she continues to work as close to the front as possible. Due to the ‘sparking’ effect of her slightly impaired eyes, the troopers of her Regiment have affectionately nicknamed her ‘Sparx’.
