This is mostly the fault of my better half *AleksanderZee for playing SWTOR (Star Wars: The Old Republic) in front of me and rekindling my love affair to the whole Old Republic franchise...

This is Anala Karuka, my Old Republic fan OC and a member of [link] ~AriadneArca 's Outsetter crew. I've drawn her a bit younger here than I usually do (about 21 rather than 35), so she's still a padawan here, off on a mission with Master Vrook.

I mostly just wanted an excuse to draw a planet outside of the ship's view port.

In addition to belonging to the Jedi Order, Anala likes to follow the teachings of the Chalactan Adepts (a fledgling religion from her homeworld) especially an unusual side branch who use bangles to represent things one needs to reflect on…usually, a friend or member of the family, but they can also represent goals or dreams. A person of this faith who does not wear a single bangle, and has not achieved the Greater Mark of Illumination, is considered to be as one dead (for they have no hopes, no dreams, nothing to live for). However, the point is to eventually achieve the Greater Mark of Illumination and shed the bangles, representing the shedding of worldly constraints and the achievement of enlightenment.

As these teachings mostly mesh with the belief system of the Jedi Order and the rather unruly padawan has calmed down significantly since adopting them, her master Vrook (unwillingly) tolerates her obsession.
