Jastra Vel is a master of the 'tricks of the trade' - the cheating and stealing trade, that is. With a certain propensity and natural talent for stealth and thievery, Jastra Vel is a professional when it comes to crimes, from minor to major. Sometimes it is as simple as a few more favorable cards in a hand to a set of sticky fingers to something as big as a heist. Either way, Jastra Vel knows her way around a job. However, everyone is bound to get caught eventually, and reputations have a way of finding a way to bite you in the rear. . . not to mention those looking to extract a little vengeance.

Jastra Vel is no greenhorn when it comes to dealing with those who wish her ill. At some point, she managed to cross the wrong people, and now they've got a mark on her hide for it. While such experiences have hardened her for adrenaline-filled moments of evading those who seek to make her their quarry, she can never be quite sure if she is truly safe, for promises of wealth or power can turn even the most seemingly stalwart of allies to enemies with knives poised at her back.

Jastra Vel is known for walking tall despite being of below average stature. she is quick to anger when called out for her height, and is not afraid of taking on an opponent regardless of their size or intimidation factor. This same tenacity makes Jastra Vel easier to rile up, which can be a good or bad thing depending on the situation at hand.

Jastra Vel would much rather be behind a hand of good sabacc cards or a rare vintage of aged liquor than with her blasters or ship. More often than not, she will spend nights at high-end establishments gambling, drinking and "socializing". Jastra Vel can survive without the finer things, but she sure would rather not. This preference follows her onto the job, so it is not uncommon for Jastra Vel to insult a client or potential partner by commenting on their choice of beverage or recreation.

Jastra Vel will never go into any situation head-on. Whether it be combat or just strolling down the street, she will stick to the shadows or cloak themselves in the Force. The less they are seen the better. If they cannot sneak up on someone, then Jastra Vel will not bother confronting them.

While Jastra Vel avoids combat whenever possible, she has no qualms working with technology under the stress and pressure of combat. Jastra Vel has trained herself to keep calm and focus intently on Slicing even while taking blaster fire from cover or when placed under time constraints. In truth, Jastra Vel almost works better when under duress, and actually needs motivation, typically, when Slicing.
