Laira Savic has no home planet, at least not one that she can remember. As a child, Laira Savic would spend most of her time on different starships and grew accustomed to the atmosphere and nuances of space and the various crafts that traverse it. As a result, Laira Savic feels more comfortable on a ship than on any planet.

Through a combination of preparing, studying, and analyzing, Laira Savic creates detailed battle plans and tries to think two steps ahead of the enemy. At times, however, this can lead to Laira Savic creating complicated schemes that can baffle less intelligent subordinates.

A particular quirk of her heritage, when a particularly important thing is to be highlighted, that word will be left last and for effect repeated—repeated. Laira has been taught out of the habit during her service in the Iron Navy, but the old ways die hard and the speech pattern may occasionally slip into use. Especially when she is passionate about the subject or feels the importance of the message to be exceptional.

People act differently under stressful situations. This is normal and almost to be expected. However, Laira goes beyond this by effectively adapting an alternative personality that is reserved for when extreme violence becomes unavoidable. The purpose of the mask is to insulate herself from the horrors of war, helping to retain her sanity after so many years of warfare. Donning the mask takes a deal of meditation and cannot be merely switched on whenever required. Similarly shaking herself out of 'war mode' takes time. As such, if she finds herself in battle unprepared, the stress on her psyche can be excessive. When she has donned her mask, Laira becomes inundated to normal battlefield violence and finds her mind clear to the task at hand, spending less if any thought on sparing combatants on either side, and focusing solely on achieving victory.

Judged simply by her disposition to war, Laira could be mistaken for a Sith. The cold detachment with which she takes to making war is, however, rooted deep in her interpretation of the Jedi code. For her, the goal is to make peace within chaos, using her Battle Meditation to create grim calmness among her comrades and guide them through the dispassionate business of slaughter. She sees herself as a conduit of the Force’s will, allowing it to flow through her and dictate the fates of the soldiers more directly than it otherwise could. Though this often leads to more carnage and death, she views those deaths, both friend and foe, not as a tragedy, but a necessary union with the Force.

This gives her a dread aura when violence is due, though her results do speak for themselves, even if her compatriots often do not.

Laira Savic possesses a single minded drive for victory, and a deep-seated martyr complex. When presented with a chance to wade into battle versus overwhelming odds, Laira Savic does not hesitate, and instead rushes in, relying on skill, fate or chance to let her survive.
