Name: Imbellia Tipis
Rank: N/A
Tier: Middle 3
Background: Imbellia Tipis is an Echani woman from Eshan who, like most of her species, strived to perfect herself through the art of combat. As to be expected, most of her time was dedicated to activities that would further her skills to the point that she could be considered an adept warrior amongst a culture of adept warriors. Yet what separated her from her peers was her desire to train future generations to be as good, if not better, than her. In 26 BBY, she finally got the opportunity to fulfil her dream after opening up a dojo that she would use to train others while also having a sustainable form of income. Business was slow at first until an eighteen-year-old boy showed up at her doorstep, looking to become the next legendary fighter from the Echani. As time went on, he and Imbellia formed a deep bond that went beyond that of a master and apprentice, though tragically the boy's life would be cut short after an accident happened at the dojo while Imbellia was away. Even though everyone understood that no one was truly at fault for what happened, Imbellia felt an immense amount of guilt for what happened and exiled herself from Eshan until she could atone for what she had done.
Imbellia's life quickly spiralled downward from there, as the once-diligent warrior succumbed to vices like alcohol and gambling to cope with her feelings. Her funds dwindled at the same rate as her emotional state, forcing her to drift from place to place to avoid the many loan sharks and bounty hunters that wanted her head. This cycle continued until 16 BBY, when Imbellia learned of a big event at a casino on Tyegin, one that could help her settle most of her debts once and for all. So the Echani woman took off for there, running into Lando and his gang in the process. With their help, she managed to obtain a ticket to enter the event. Unfortunately, she was unable to achieve her goal and was forced to informally join Lando's crew to avoid the loan sharks that wanted her head.

Weaknesses: Given her speed, Imbellia punches well above her weight class often. But this often places her into combat situations where, eventually, she may simply be beaten on simple physicals. While “be faster” is not particularly constructive as combat advice, it is still one that must be emphasised. Imbellia prefers melee combat over fighting at range, though this doesn’t mean she is a slouch in the latter. However, one can know what to expect and can plan for a close-quarters engagement, which is useful within itself. She is still haunted by her past, refusing to confront what happened or change herself for the better. As such, a skilled manipulator could have a field day with her if they learn of such trauma. Imbellia has pissed off a lot of individuals within the underworld, and this could be used to track her down or enlist allies against her. Lastly, Imbellia has no idea she is Force Sensitive, and this could potentially be used against her, especially given she teeters on the edge of falling to the Dark Side constantly.
