Chapter Two

Roxanne Keira Quin a.k.a. Roxie was waiting for her father to come home. Roxanne and her father are really close, but sometimes his daughter felt like she was in the way because Orlando worried about her constantly, though she tells him that he doesn't have to worry about her because she take care of herself. She knows that her father doesn't want to lose her and she understands that because his wife passed away before she came into the picture.

Orlando Quin is Roxanne Keira Quin's foster parent and she has been living with him since she was one-year-old. Roxanne doesn't know that she's adoptive.

Orlando's wife Sarah Roseanne Quin was battling a disease that could have been prevented if they would have had the medicine to cure it. She died despite the care the doctor gave her.

Roxanne does a pretty good job of keeping a watch over her family. She has a droid she built when she was two-years-old, but she has learned from experience that you can't rely on a droid to help you out.

Roxanne has short dark brown hair with purple streaks. She likes to change her highlights in her hair so people won't recognize her. Roxanne's natural hair color is dark brown hair with bright blonde highlights. She has fair skin and metallic sky-blue eyes. She wears her hair up in a ponytail and sometimes she has her hair down. She wears a gold medallion that is circular and it has a skull in the center of the circle.

Roxanne is really handy with a blaster so that is one good thing about living almost within the limits of the Republic and Outer Rim. She has known how to use a blaster since she was two-years-old. She accidentally got her hands on a blaster and blasted a hole in the wall of her house. It was Orlando's fault for having the blaster where she could reach it.

His daughter works when Orlando isn't home for her father's brother Jet, a junk dealer who pays her to build things and race in speeder bike races. She absolutely loves racing, though Orlando doesn't approve of it too much, but whatever it takes to bring in money to her family she takes it.

Their homeworld is within the Republic lines. Since the space pirate have taken over it's now considered Outer Rim territory until they leave. She is very hyper active and cannot sit still for less than sixty seconds. She is a very talkative person, but most of the time she can be quiet. Usually if something goes wrong, somehow she ends up getting blamed for it. Roxanne does not go looking for trouble because trouble usually finds her anywhere she goes.

Roxanne walked into her closet and pushed back some clothes and noticed there was a door behind it. She looked up and noticed there was two keys. One was gold and the other was silver. She walked out of the closet and put both keys inside her heart-shaped box and heard Brando say, "Roxie!"

Brando Lanes is one of her father's guards who protects them and baby-sits Roxie while Orlando is away. They have five body guards named Brando Miles, Nola Flow, Blando Miles, Ron Troth, and Brock Flow. Ron and Brock serve as her father's decoy when he's home taking care of his daughter.

Roxanne rushed downstairs and said, "What is it?"

"Your father's home," Brando replied.

Roxanne's eyes widen and she rushed downstairs to see her father.

Roxanne flashed him a smile that he knew very well and ran into his arms, almost knocking him down.

"Hey, daddy," she said.

"Hey, Roxie," Orlando said as he kissed her on the cheek. He released her and dismissed his guards for the night.

Brando whispered in Orlando's and told him that two Jedi were coming to protect them.

Orlando sat down on the couch and told Roxie that the Senate said that they are sending a Jedi to come and help them.

Roxanne looked at her father with a curious look on her face and asked him, "Real Jedi?"

He smiled at her. "Yes."

"Do you know the name of the Jedi that are coming?" Roxanne asked.

"Yes, their names are Siri Tachi and Ferus Olin," Orlando said. "No one must know that they are Jedi because it could cause the attention to rise to the space pirates."

"I won't tell anyone," she promised. "I'm good at keeping a secret. Where will they take shelter at?"

"I offered my house," he said.

Roxanne was excited to meet Siri and her apprentice because this would be her first time meeting heroes from the Republic.
