ELARA ASTALLES was a woman forged by a war.
HER MOTHER had hand-mined the metal which melted into the shell of who Elara was. When she fled Batuu in a run-down transport with her friends, the shell got heated up and bent to fit the shape of her a bit better. Then, she joined the Resistance, and her alloy was placed over hot flames and sculpted into more of a human. When General Organa gave her a promotion from captain to commander and gave her permission to begin her own squadron, the metal that molded Elara's person once again heated and shaped further.
HOWEVER, there was a part of her she never utilized in her person. The part of her body that was aching from not having been used in so long was the only part her mother had fashioned in steel, and Elara just wanted to get rid of it. As much as she never wanted to admit it, The Force flowed strong within her and she put up a dam. It was quick; a decision she never reconsidered. It had worked well for her. If she didn't act on it, it wasn't there. But she could still feel the weight in her every time she moved. And she hated it.
POE DAMERON was a hot flame; a burning light.
HE SUPPOSED it was what kept him going— the blaze inside him that urged him towards more. Despite the challenges, the bumps in the road, he always found a way to continue on. The amber inferno of passion that he sparked within the Resistance, and more specifically, his squadron. It spread quickly, and before he even knew it, the entire Resistance was not only looking to General Organa for guidance, they were looking at him.
HOWEVER, somebody he personally looked to in awe would be a fellow commander, Elara Astalles, of the Fortuna Squadron. Not only was she insanely good at what she did, from flying to leadership, she was also drop dead gorgeous. Her resting face was a smirk of serenity, and the relationship she had with her pilots would always be something he envied. But, alas, fire was destructive, and he wasn't aware if she was flammable or not.
