Physical Description Shrezade is tall and lithe. Her hair is golden blonde and used to fall to below her shoulders, worn away from her face and up in a bun, but now it is cut short and close to her head. It is styled in a less than neat fashion, often spiked and unruly, but she sometimes opts for a cleaner look and has it slicked down with her bangs smoothed away from her face. She is still fair-skinned, but after having been exiled from the shipyards and living on Riga, she gained much sun exposure and now has a glow to her complexion. She uses her height to her advantage, and has impeccable posture that makes her appear taller. Her gentle blue eyes may soften her often hard gaze, and although she allows her emotions to shine through them when she is with her three friends, for others they remain cold and dispassionate.

Professional History: Shrezade was the chief administrator of the Drogen Shipyards for three years. Before then, she worked as director for the local spaceport on her home planet after obtaining a degree from the local lyceum in administrative services. She held that position for five years, and from there, she moved directly to Tae'Karada after accepting a position as the shipyard's administrator. During an Imperial siege of the station, Shrezade and her three associates, Rilanna Kir, Hajne Tory, and Chamlembac, were forced to flee and relocated to Riga, where they remained in hiding and struggled to fend off the bounty hunters and Imperial soldiers determined to have them captured and surrendered to Grand Admiral Tarkin. After the Grand Admiral's death they returned to Drogen where they aided in recapturing it from Imperial occupation. She is, again, acting as its administrator.

Background Shrezade was born on Dantooine and lived there until she was 29 years old. Throughout her scholarly years, she remained very studious and successful in her studies. She always graduated at the top her class and received many academic awards during her school career. Her parents were very successful business people and were modestly wealthy, which allowed Shrezade to study in the most prestigious private schools on the planet.

While there, she met with her future husband, Vraner Anoran. Shortly after they were married, Vraner joined the Imperial navy, against Shrezade's wishes. He was a strong proponent of the Empire's cause, but she was neutral in her opinion. They debated many times about their differing views, Vraner encouraging Shrezade to take a more active role in the Empire's fight, while she attempted to enlighten Vraner as to the benefits of an unbiased, neutral view of the war. Despite their differing views, Vraner and Shrezade were deeply in love and their marriage was a steady one.

During a routine patrol of the Ihopek shipyards, Vraner's fleet was attacked by an Alliance faction and he was killed in the battle. Shrezade was devastated by the loss and it was this incident that helped reshape her views on the war. She blamed the rebels for their drastic measures and the ruthlessness with which they extinguished the lives of their enemies without negotiating first. She saw them now as anarchists who were acting through selfishness instead of for the good of the galaxy. After that day, Shrezade became a staunch Imperialist and has resented the rebels ever since.

After she completed her schooling at age 23, Shrezade was offered a job as Director of the local spaceport. She worked there until she was 29 years old, after which time, she was offered a job as Administrator for the Shipyards on Tae'Karada. The shipyards were being overrun with criminals and she was brought in to try and resolve the situation and make the shipyards a profitable, efficient business again. They were impressed with her work on the spaceport on her planet as well as her credentials and she was hired without an interview. Shrezade accepted the position, mainly to escape a position where she could not advance, as well as for personal reasons. The shipyards were rampant with rebels who, as far as she was concerned, were just as immoral as criminals, and she wanted to have a hand in punishing them for her husband's death. By overseeing all activities on the shipyards, she knew she could make their lives difficult and exact a sort of revenge upon them for the pain they'd caused her.

In her third year on the station, Shrezade met a young woman named Rilanna Kir. She came to quickly trust the bounty hunter, and eventually made her the station's head of security. She agreed to aid Shrezade in her quest to stop the criminals running rampant on her station, and all was going well until Grand Admiral Tarkin decided to move ship-building operations to her shipyards, which also meant an accompanying heavy, very noticeable Imperial presence. Shrezade was unhappy that the admiral appeared to be undermining her supreme authority by posting a liaison to her station. She conspired with Rilanna to have Major Dane Weyland deposed, but in the end, the Grand Admiral caught wind of their scheme and sought to have both arrested and the station seized. He managed to claim the Drogen Shipyards for the Empire, but Reza, along with her three associates, eluded Tarkin and Major Weyland in a daring escape. They then fled to Riga where they remained for a period of months, fighting for their lives even as Major Dane Weyland's obsession with retrieving them continued and had him hiring legions of bounty hunters to carry out their capture. After a visit from Lerrah Breijal, a messanger sent by the Rebellion leader on the Drogen Shipyards, Reza decided to return to Tae'Karada. They rendezvoused with Admiral Tallen's vessel, the Lusankya after fleeing from Riga, where she met Captain Dresh Kano, a New Republic officer who went under the name of Commander Deak Weddel. The moment they met there was a palpable tension between them, which they cut on their third day together where they took a large step and became intimate. This put strain on her relationship with Rilanna Kir and while they planned to attack the Imperials on Drogen, she and Rilanna were also at odds with each other. During the actual attack, Reza joined the New Republic in infiltrating the station, while outside the New Republic launched a space attack against the Imperials on Tae'Karada. During the station's raid, Reza was captured by Major Weyland and used to lure Rilanna to him. Rilanna came to Reza's aid, and in the end, Weyland was killed. It was then they acknowledged their feelings for one another, and finally found contentment. Reza was reinstated as Administrator of the shipyards and with Rilanna's help, she is striving to transform it into the bustling, productive center of commerce and tourism she always dreamed it could be.

Personality: In the time spent on Riga, Shrezade Anoran has undergone a transformation. Physically, her appearance is less staid and conservative, but her inner personality has changed as well, thanks to her good friend, Rilanna Kir. Whereas previously she was stoic and cold, she is no longer afraid to explore her emotions and even share them with those close to her. That she has even allowed herself to make friends alludes to her conversion, and the implacable, hard facade she still displays to strangers melts away when she is with them. It is no longer rare to see her laugh and simply let loose with her friends. She is still as ruthless as she has always been, and holds about her an air of condescension and overconfidence to those who do not know her, but in the end, life is no longer a burden for her. She is fiercely determined to rebuild her station, and with her fearlessness, perseverance, and tenacity, along with the aid of her friends, she knows she can accomplish it.

Form of Dress: Shrezade is no longer a conservative dresser. She has developed a taste for leather and clothing that accentuates her slim figure. Her shirts no longer go up to her neck, concealing every bit of flesh; instead, she now flaunts her endowments, and isn't afraid to show scandalous amounts of skin. She has taken nicely to the role of the seductive vixen, and really is as dangerous as she looks, thanks to the help of her friend, Rilanna Kir.

Superhuman Powers and Abilities None

Abilities and Skills: Shrezade is a talented negotiator and businesswoman. She is very organized and efficient, as well as highly intelligent. She is now adept at firing a blaster, and has been taught fighting skills by Rilanna, however she is nowhere near as well-trained as her friend.
