... I don't remember much of the surgery, muffled voices as I drifted in and out of consciousness, and pain, pain despite the Symoxin, or whatever painkillers they used, and something missing too... When I woke up it all came back to me, honestly, I couldn't even look at myself, a part of my mind was perhaps still in denial, but the physical trauma was nothing really, the hardest adjustment to make was knowing that I'd never see Kiri again... We were enemies once, but she'd come a long way since the days of the Empire, I was proud of her, proud to call her a friend, and mortified that she'd died protecting me, I won't lie, at that moment my heart was consumed with hatred... And guilt...
~Quinn Shara's memoirs, New Republic years, reflecting on the loss of her left arm, and the death of Kiri Starchaser, her former enemy, turned apprentice, at the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong.

Some Star Wars OC EU AU (LETTERS ) stuff, featuring my main Star Wars OC, Quinn Shara, after her most catastrophic defeat...

During the early days of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion Quinn and her allies' primary role in the conflict was to rescue refugees from the fringes of enemy lines, and securing supply lines for those fighting on the front, during one such mission an enemy advance force caught her unit off guard, forcing them into a desperate fighting retreat, in the battle that followed Quinn became infected with a type of parasite that feeds off of the host's connection to the Force, she fought on regardless, confident in her saber skills, however when confronting an enemy warrior she misjudged the enemy's weapon, what looked like a serrated sword was actually a whip, and when she parried it with her palm it coiled around her arm to devastating effect...

Her whole left arm was little more than a dead weight, hanging off by a thread and hemorrhaging blood, in an instant she made the decision to cut it off at the shoulder, the searing blade of her lightsaber cauterizing as it cut through, though the pain was beyond excruciating Quinn had at least ensured that she wouldn't bleed to death. Using the adrenaline surge that followed she flew into a frenzied counteroffensive, fighting with a single arm and taking her enemy by surprise, though she soon burned out, however just when it seemed hope was lost she was saved by Kiri Starchaser.

Kiri told Quinn to retreat whist she held off the attackers, and although Quinn protested Kiri knocked her unconscious and had her squad carry her to the last evacuation transport... Kiri remained behind because had she retreated with Quinn then they would have been run down by the attackers, she chose to stand her ground, to sacrifice herself to repay Quinn for redeeming her. As Quinn regained consciousness in the fleeing ship she felt Kiri become one with the Force. Soon after Quinn is rushed into emergency surgery to treat and clean her wounds, however she doesn't get a replacement arm until after the Yuuzhan Vong war ends, choosing to fight with one arm as a self-imposed punishment.

I'm so sorry Quinn... You look so bewildered... Battered, bruised, and scared, both physically and mentally...
I feel so bad for putting her through this, but that drama, that trauma, it's what'll make her even stronger.
Her hair is actually quite long, I rarely draw her with it down, she always ties it up in her trademark braided bun style, she actually doesn't like it down, however during the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong war she keeps it down, well, she only has one arm so it's actually impossible for her to braid it....

This actually just started as practice for drawing/colouring bruises and scars, I hope they look alright, any feedback would be appreciated.

By the way, the sign in the corner is written in Galactic Basic Standard, if anyone can read it without going to the wiki you'll have my geek respect. XD

Anyway, that's that, I hope you like(is that the right word here?) it. More to come when I'm no longer ill.
