Personality:
Rima is a wild and free-spirited person. She hates sitting still for too long. If there's something to do outside, she'll do it. Anything to keep her focused, to keep her busy. Why? Because if she isn't busy, she'll start thinking. And if she starts thinking, she'll start remembering. She hasn't yet come to terms with the pain of losing her parents, though she lives everyday to honor their memories. It's a hard thing for her. But she'll never let others see that. She'd rather keep it to herself.
Biography:
Rima grew up on Zeltros with her parents Zenele and Tiran Filenko. They lived right next door to a family known as "Ikon". As a child, Rima would often spend her days playing games with Celtus Ikon or "Celty" as he was often referred to. They weren't the closest friends at times. They'd often tease each other and pull pranks on one another. Celty was the one who decided to call Rima "Filly". She used to hate that. But nevertheless, they got along in their own little way.
When Rima wasn't in school or hanging around Celty's house, she was with Tiran learning how to fight. He showed her how to dual-wield, and how to treat the battlefield like a dance floor. Zenele taught her how to train her eyesight as well as how to move as fast as the wind. She learned fast and she learned well. It was a good life.
One day, Rima was home alone while her parents were out working. Celty was visiting his cousins at the time. Rima was SO BORED..... Then she got an idea. Like many bored children, it broke several rules her parents had made. She went into her parents' room and took her father's Heavy Blaster Pistol as well as her mother's. They were both identical in shape and color, except that her father's had the engraving of a moon on the side, and her mother's had a star.
She took these pistols and went out into the small wooded area behind their house. She spent hours running and laughing and shooting at the trunks of the trees around her. She was having so much fun that she forgot her parents came home just after sundown. When it started to get dark, Rima panicked and raced back toward the house.
When she got there, however, all she found was a massive wall of flames where her home had once been. All she could do was stare in sheer horror as her world burned before her very eyes. It wasn't long before firefighters came. They were followed by a big crowd of people who were curious as to what was happening. It wasn't long before Rima and the others learned that Zelene and Tiran were dead.
For a month, all people would do when they saw Rima was give her compassionate smiles and say "The poor girl..." behind her back.Celty's family looked after her for a short time before she was sent to live with her grandmother on Coruscant. She was very silent during those last weeks. She wouldn't smile, and she hardly ate anything. Nothing anyone would do or say could soothe the girl's empty heart. Those weeks were the last time Celty and Rima would see each other for seven years.
Coruscant was hard to get used to at first. It was nothing like Rima's large but comfortable and quiet home in the Zeltrosian countryside. Everything was fast and loud and crowded bright all night and all day. She had a lot of trouble sleeping in her new bed, and even more trouble trying to attend school with 10,000 other children. Despite it's downsides, however, Rima did find things she enjoyed doing. There were swoop races that the kids in her class always went to at night. She would go with them sometimes. When she did, the electricity and adrenaline in the air made Rima want more. She started looking for other methods of reckless entertainment, such as zip-lining between tall buildings and playing "Nabooian Chicken" on the very edge of the elevated sidewalks. The rush she always received made it easy to forget everything. She could finally smile again. Eventually however, her addiction to dangerous games began to interfere with her academic progress. She was getting nowhere in school anymore. But that didn't matter to Rima anymore. She'd given up on school a long time ago.
Just last year, Rima ran away. She left Coruscant behind as well as her grandmother, taking nothing but some clothes, a few credits, and Moon & Star. She jumped from one planet to the next, doing everything in her power to make a name for herself. True, "Gun Wonder" wasn't the cleverest name out there, but it suited Rima just fine.
