Opal has white hair, green eyes and markings on her face 

4-year old Opal fluttered open her eyes and saw she was on the side of the street. She saw a giant house on fire, confused as she was and a bit frightened, she walked towards it but stopped when she stepped on something. She looked down and saw a chip, she picked it up and looked at it. She then looked at the house again and remembered her mother and father were inside. She wanted to yell but something inside her wanted to hide behind the giant rock, so she did and cried until she heard storm troopers.

"Why go do like this?" One of them asked the other, there was at least four with speeders.

"Probably had enough of that bratty child of theirs." The other said, they soon left once the fire was put out but none of them noticed Opal. She stayed there and cried more and more until she fell asleep. Two and a half years had passed and she lived in the communication tower of  Lothal, she was walking through the streets of her town until she noticed three older boys holding a Lothcat toy infront of a blue haired boy.

"Just give it back to me!" The blue haired boy said while jumping the air, trying to get the toy back.

"Oh yeah? Why should we?!" The bully asked, Opal had enough and threw a rock at a trooper.

"Hey!" The trooper said and looked at Opal, who was acting innocent.

"He threw it!" Opal said and pointed at the bullies. The trooper ran to them, causing the bullies to run and drop the toy. The boy cowered as Opal walked to him, she saw the toy and picked it back up. "Here you go." She said, the boy looked at the toy and took it.

"Thanks" The boy said, then a man and woman came walking to them. "I'm Ezra."

"I'm Opal, hope to see you again." She said and walked away. She later on knew Ezra and his parents more and more often. One day, she was buying a malrion fruit until she saw Ezra running to her with watering eyes. "Whats wrong?" She asked him, he was about to answer until Opal saw troopers pointing at them. "Come with me." She said, he followed her until they crawled into a vent.

"Where did he go?" A trooper asked.

"Not far." Another said and then he touched the side of his helmet. "New orders, were needed again." The trooper said, the other one followed as Ezra started crying. Opal hugged him and waited until he had stopped.

"Let's go somewhere more private, there we can talk." She said, he nodded. She and him walked to a tower after getting some fruit, most of the merchants were Opal's friends and she did things for them. They usually reward her with food, clothing, old parts or Small amounts of credits. They walked into an elevator up to the top and walked towards a door.

"N-no storm troopers will find us here right?" Ezra asked.

"None, this place was abandoned. Welcome to my home." She said as she pushed several buttons and opened the door. She and him sat on stools across each other once they were inside. "Okay, now what happened?" She asked, he explained something happened to his parents while he was outside. He came back to find his home a mess and storm troopers yelling at him. From this point, Ezra and Opal lived in the tower together for three years in harmony.

"Do you think there are any Jedi?" Ezra asked while they ate dinner, they had found books about Jedi but saw none.

"Nope. But if there was, then me and you would be Jedi." Opal said, Ezra rolled his eyes. She grabbed the bowls as Ezra  cleaned of the table. She started scrubbing and bumped her arm into a plate. "Oh no!" She yelled and held out a hand. She then noticed the plate was floating. She gasped and the plate fell to the ground, falling into pieces. Ezra noticed and sighed as he grabbed the broom, he walked closer and noticed Opal's shocked look.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Y-yeah, i'm gonna go find another plate." She said as she grabbed her bag.

"Now? It's almost sun set." Ezra said.

"I know, I'll be back before the last shop closes." She said and walked out the door. She hurried to the elevator and stood by a speeder, she looked at her hands and sighed. There was only one place where she could get answers as to what was happening to her , her old home. She started driving away until she found a ash filled place. She got off the bike and walked through the house, she found nothing until she stubbed her toe on a handle. She touched it and pulled it, revealing a secret passage. She slide down the ladder and was shocked.

"Mom?" She said, there was a painting of a woman who looked like her while holding a curved handle of a white lightsaber. She then noticed a chest and opened it to reveal the lightsaber and a note. She picked up the saber and put it inside her bag. She picked up the note and opened it.

My little Opal,

If your reading this, then i'm most likely dead. There are so many things I wanted to tell you, but I can't. If you know of the Jedi, you know that you are one, then everything you care about is in danger. I love you and hope you live a life you love.

Opal cried and knew she would only bring danger to Ezra that was more then he could handle. She looked at her scarf and remembered, she called a bird and it flew to her. She took off her scarf and gave it to the bird. She told Ezra she would do this if she died whenever she wasn't around him. The bird understood and flew away, leaving Opal alone.
