Physical Description:
Shaza is a physically attractive woman. She is tall and well-built with striking features. She has long, reddish-brown hair and hazel eyes. She keeps herself in shape, and moves with a fluid, athletic grace.

Professional History:
Shaza's hunting career began at the tender age of sixteen. She had gone to the city for power converters, when she ran into a bounty hunter, searching for some piece of scum hiding out on her homeworld. She watched, enthralled with his technique. He was so efficient and graceful. She knew that she was standing at a crossroads, and had to make a decision. She had reached the point shere she needed to decide what to do with her life. She approached him, and asked him to train her. Beneath his Mandalorian armour, he stared at her. She couldn't tell his facial features, but she had a sense that he was highly amused.

He gave her some advice, but declined to train her. Instead, the man, who she would later come to find out was Boba Fett, sent her to a former associate of his. Bosta Taz was a good teacher, though somewhat unrefined. The next couple years of Raza's life were grueling, but mostly productive. She was nearly killed on four separate occasions, one time nearly by Fett himself.

As the years wore on, she eventually gained a competence that few in the business could match, save those few who remained at the top of the Hunter's Guild. She'd vowed when she first chose her path in life that she would become one of the best hunters around, and she's done that.

She works for the highest bidder, and gets well-paid for her work.

Background:
Born on Ord Mantell, Shaza Nightshade (a name she would take later in life) had a life like many others on the Mid-Rim world. Early on, she picked up a number of technical skills, including some starship and speeder repair. Her parents ran one of the smaller starports, and there was always need of those skills. By the time she reached her teens, she could pretty much fix anything she got her hands on.

When she was sixteen, she suddenly decided to become a bounty hunter. When she chose, she was already good with a blaster, and had been studying a variety of other fighting styles, including Teräs Käsi.

The first bounty hunter she approached sent her to a former associate of his who was looking for a protegé. Bosta Taz took her on willingly and worked her harder than she'd ever been worked in her life. She learned much in her time with him, including how to stay alive. While she wasn't the best bounty hunter around, she was damn good. She learned many of the tricks used by those tracking down bounties.

Eventually, she left Taz's tutelage and started out on her own. She's been on her own now for three years, and has made quite a name for herself. She's worked for the Hutts, Black Sun, the Empire, and a variety of others. There are few jobs she won't accept if the pay's right, and the harder the job the more willing she is to take it.

With the fall of the Empire, Shaza relocated from the Mid-Rim where she'd been working to the Core. Shortly after she'd started in hunting down Imperial war criminals, she received word of work in the Outer Rim. So, with that, she relocated.

Shaza is currently keeping watch in Arcadia on Tae'Karada. With the invasion of the Jau, she has taken a more active role in helping the people of the planet, rather than watching out for herself.

Personality:
Shaza is efficient and good at what she does. She keeps her sense of humour contained while working, though when she's not on a job she likes to cut loose and enjoy the life she's making for herself. She's kind to those she deems deserving of it, and either distant or harsh to those who don't.

Vehicle of Choice:
"Shadow Stalker" The Shadow Stalker is a Q-17 Nubian starship with upswept engine nacelles. She's a sleek starship with a matte black finish. She's fast and well-armed, with extra space in the hold for holding prisoners.

Form of Dress:
Shaza wears an outfit made of energy-resistant leather. It's tight-fitting, and hugs her curves, with pouches and belts to hold a variety of tools to help her with her job.

Superhuman Powers and Abilities
None.

Abilities and Skills:
She's an expert marksman, with ratings well into the hundreds. She carries a pair of Ando-Coronet stun blades that she is very proficient with. Additionally, she has mastered several martial art forms, including Teräs Käsi.
