Marksman Newt

Newt was once a soldier in the Grand Army of the republic, fighting for it alongside her brothers. She was an ARC trooper trained to follow orders, and carry out operations with efficiency. But her service was cut short, placed in stasis towards the end of the Clone Wars. She would later awake to a world vastly different to the one she had been made for, the war was over and her brothers all but gone. Now she struggles to find her place in this new world, the training to serve the republic clashing against the work she now finds herself in. That and the nightmare still lingering in her head.

Newt loves to play with computers and enjoys interacting with them more than she does with people. Some may call her antisocial - and they'd be right.

Newt tells it like she sees it, when she thinks it; and she doesn't try to sugar coat what she says.

Newt has a military background, and draws upon her experience to tackle the obstacles in her life. This makes her decisive, efficient, and fearless; provides her with a strong sense of duty and strength; which tends to influence her ability to fight and lead. However, a rigid mind is less compassionate towards individuals and less imaginative, and Newt sometimes risks appearing callous, relatable, or incapable of compromising.

While Newt avoids combat whenever possible, she has no qualms working with technology under the stress and pressure of combat. Newt 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, Newt almost works better when under duress, and actually needs motivation, typically, when Slicing.

Newt knows that combat is a dangerous business and prefers to fight on her own terms. She starts combat by utilising ranged weapons, ideally from an advantageous position. This will often be close to a vehicle or transport, that she can use to make a quick getaway. Newt is not afraid of engaging in melee combat, but mostly uses it as a defensive tool than as a way of partaking in combat. This mindset often keeps Newt alive even in more dangerous battles, however she often misses opportunities that more aggressive combatants can capitalise on.
