-->'''Aphra Senior:''' The Wookiee versus whatever the Empire can throw at him? [[CompletelyMissingThePoint That doesn't seem fair.]]\\

* LovableTraitor: Working with Aphra means there is a 100% chance that she will betray you in some form, and a 50/50 shot of her coming back to help after said betrayal, although their is a good chance for another betrayal after that.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Fully expected Vader to implement this trope, and is rather shocked to find out he has no plans that way.

->'''Appearances:''' ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsDoctorAphra Doctor Aphra]]''

Dr. Aphra's estranged father, who is also an archaeologist. He exposes her cheating in school, which leads to her doctorate being revoked and forces her to join him on a search for the Ordu Aspectu, an ancient sect of Jedi.

* AdventurerArchaeologist: His job. [[SharedFamilyQuirks Seems to be in the blood.]]
* AmbiguouslyBrown: He seems to be Space-Asian like his daughter.
* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: His hypothesis about what happened to the Ordu Aspectu.
* BaldOfAwesome: Well, according to Chelli, he ''would'' be awesome if he cared about people as much as he cares about his work.
* GoodIsNotDumb:
** He might be idealistic but he refuses to share any information with his daughter unless necessary.
** In the last issue of ''Empire Ascendant'', when Luke says that something Chelli had done is proof she's a good person, Tolvan points out once Luke is out of earshot that Chelli saved the Emperor's life once and Korin replies that it's probably for the better to not tell Luke that since someone as naive as him probably wouldn't take that news well.
* GoodShepherd: He is a very religious man, and hopes his search for the Ordu Aspectu will lead to a spiritual reawakening across the galaxy.
* HeelFaithTurn: Hopes their shared search for the Ordu Aspectu will do this for his daughter.
* HiddenDepths: He left his family in hopes of saving them by bringing back the Ordu Aspectu. Now, he's trying to do it for Chelli.
* LackOfEmpathy: When he learns of the destruction of Jedha City and the near-destruction of Yavin IV, he's more concerned about their temples than their people.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: On account of being MarriedToTheJob. He thought that the Death Star wasn't real and that the destruction of Jedha City and Alderaan were unfortunate accidents.
* MarriedToTheJob: According to Chelli, he was so wrapped up in his work that his wife left him and fled to the Outer Rim where she was killed by raiders. Chelli blames him for her mother's death. Considering he ''didn't even know that the Death Star is real'', was completely oblivious to the Battle of Yavin, and has the LackOfEmpathy noted above, it's hard to argue against her point.
* NoNameGiven: He first appears in Issue #1 but is not named until Issue #32. Chelli just refers to him as "dad".
* PapaWolf: However many SkewedPriorities he may have, when push comes to shove, he'll still protect his daughter. [[spoiler:He strikes Tolvan InTheBack with the lightsaber from the Citadel of Rur when she holds Chelli at gunpoint.]]
* ParentsAsPeople: He and Lona disagreed on how to raise Chelli. He worked hard on looking for the Ordu Aspectu because he believed it would be enough to protect his family and the Galaxy. Lona and Chelli saw it as him being MarriedToTheJob.
* SomeoneHasToDie: After being captured by Darth Vader alongside his daughter, the Sith Lord decides he needs only one expert archeologist to aid in the hunt for the Rebels and orders BT-1 to execute one of the Aphra's. After telling his daughter how proud he is of her, he volunteers to be killed, but thankfully a team of Rebels captures the shuttle they were on and interrupts the execution.
* SingleTear: When the Citadel of Rur [[LifesWorkRuined self-destructs]].
* TokenGoodTeammate: He's the only member of Aphra's crew that isn't a criminal or murderer.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: When Chelli sends Krrsantan to lure away Imperial forces from the Massassi temple.

'''Chelli Aphra:''' [[OneManArmy No, it doesn't.]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He's not in ''The Screaming Citadel'', which takes place after the first ''Doctor Aphra'' arc. The arc's ending seems to be pointing at him leaving after Chelli turns in the Crystal of Rur to an archive since the point of the entire arc was him trying to get her to have a HeelFaithTurn by finding Rur, but since that was a failure yet he and Chelli kind of make amends anyway, he possibly left to go back to doing whatever he usually does. Given that ''The Screaming Citadel'' and the next ''Doctor Aphra'' arc are about Chelli trying to find a way to sell the ''real'' Crystal of Rur, having put a duplicate in the archive, she probably didn't want him around to avoid getting in trouble with him. He returns for the final arc of the first run, continuing to chase old religious legends that unfortunately make him wind up in the crosshairs of the Empire's hunt for the Rebellion.

The late mother of Dr. Chelli Aphra and the former wife of Aphra. After splitting with Aphra, she took Chelli with her to an unidentified planet to escape from the Clone Wars, but were attacked by raiders. Lona lost her life while telling Chelli to flee.
----

** Both Luke and Aphra lived with loved one(s) in relative isolation with some degree of ParentalAbandonment, but said loved one(s) were/was killed. They also have DaddyIssues, though Luke doesn't have it until later. Aphra apologizes to Luke when he reveals his family died after she accuses him of not knowing any better than being a poster boy for the Rebellion... [[BaitAndSwitch but she's actually apologizing about a screw-up in the current situation]].

** Well, with the guy she's [[AscendedFangirl fangirling]] on, it's hard to get much more "bad boy" than '''Darth Vader.''' And the gender flipped variant with Tolvan.

* [[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Mother]]: Her death by raiders and Chelli’s rescue by the Empire convinced the future archaeologist that the Empire was overall better for the galaxy. [[spoiler:Until she learned her mother’s death was actually a FalseFlagOperation and the Empire was behind it all along, shattering her respect of them.]]

* CharacterDevelopment: After the ending of ''Darth Vader'', she doesn't really care all that much about the Empire anymore since [[spoiler:Vader trying to kill her [[BrokenPedestal sort of ruined it for her]] and she also probably doesn't want Vader knowing she's alive]]. Also, by the end of the first arc of her own series, her relationship with her father is mending and is on much better terms (though still some ways to go) than it was at the beginning.

An on-and-off ally of Doctor Aphra.

** Finds that she cannot bring herself to allow Triple-Zero to torture her own father despite her hatred and contempt for him.

** She cites this after Rexa and her men destroy an Imperial base & kill most of the garrison despite the mission having already been accomplished when they retrieved the intel.

** Looks and acts like a female version of Indiana Jones, albeit one who is pretty morally ambiguous. She also has a strained relationship with her MarriedToTheJob father.

* {{Fangirl}}: Of Darth Vader, which she admits while welcoming him aboard her ship.

* MotorMouth: Darth Vader tells her she is this after a couple of pages of dialog. Aphra responds she gets chatty when she gets nervous and Vader really makes her nervous.
* NightmareFetishist: She has quite the fascination with superweapons and other ways to quickly kill off planetary populations. However, it is the science and technology that fascinates her, and Aphra is at least somewhat disturbed by the actual deaths.

* TattooedCrook: Aphra has "electro-tattoos" on her right arm. ''The Catastrophe Con'' reveals they interfere with probes, although whether that's intentional or just a side effect is unknown.
* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler: In issue 31, she instinctively does this for Vulaada.]]

* TattooedCrook: She has got a rather cool looking tattoo on her right arm that looks like circuitry.

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Manages to become this to the '''Empire''' briefly after broadcasting herself on the [=HoloNet=] foiling an attempted coup against the Emperor, making her too popular amongst loyal Imperial citizens to be executed, even by Darth Vader.

* ButchLesbian: Short-haired and often dirty, mechanically minded, and loves the ladies.

* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Her final appearance in ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsDarthVader Darth Vader]]'' has Vader shoot her out an air-lock in an attempt to kill her, but luckily Aphra had prepared for such a eventuality.]]

* AmbiguouslyBi:
** She's all but stated to have been in a relationship with Sana Starros, and her fangirlism towards Vader may or may not indicate an interest in men, too.
** It gets pretty obvious when she calls Tolvan "cute" and her dad comments that her taste in women is [[AllGirlsWantBadGuys very poor]]. In issue 16 of her own series they share a passionate kiss during a life and death situation.
** She flirts a bit with Luke in ''The Screaming Citadel'', although she might just be messing with him.
** The creator of Doctor Aphra [[https://www.starwars.com/news/doctor-aphra-creator-kieron-gillen-co-writer-si-spurrier-discuss-whats-next-for-the-fan-favorite-rogue has confirmed that she is a lesbian]].

* BeingEvilSucks: For all her talk about how her brutal ways is her way of life with zero remorse or regret, her actions come back to haunt/hurt/torment her in various ways and often leave her a sobbing mess, knowing full well she has no one to blame but herself.

* HeelRealization: Downplayed. At the end of ''Darth Vader'', she's not as much of the fangirl she was of the Empire anymore and has lost taste due to their lack of morality -- particularly [[BrokenPedestal Vader's]], and she goes back to minding her own business and being a neutral party. That being said, she still does thing like threaten her father at gunpoint ([[CharacterDevelopment at the beginning of her comic series anyway]]), kill a guy for backstabbing her (which is at least pretty justified), lets Triple-Zero, Beetee, and Krrsantan do their thing, and so on.

* WorkingWithTheEx: She very reluctantly works with Aphra to find the rings, due to the threat of Ronan Tagge's men hounding her to work for him to find them instead.

[[folder:Detta Yao]]
!!Detta Yao

A fourth-year graduate student studying archaeology at the Shadow University. She hires Doctor Aphra to help her locate the subject of her doctoral thesis, the Rings of Vaale.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: She seems nice and bubbly, but WordOfGod describes her as having a darker side. So far, we see her having a hidden poisoned knife that she uses to defend herself from a thug.
* HeroWorshipper: After Aphra gave a guest lecture at the university Yao was inspired to follow in her footsteps. [[spoiler:Which includes plotting to betray the others for her own self-interest and profit]].
* HiddenWeapons: She has a poisoned blade that she can pop out of the top of her gauntlet.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her hair is blue, presumably because she dyed it.

->'''Appearances:''' ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsDoctorAphra Doctor Aphra]]''

-->''"This is why I like working with you, Doc. You never take it personally."''

An on-and-off ally of Doctor Aphra.

* AwesomeMcCoolName: It's likely a pseudonym... or he's just lucky to have such a cool name.
* FriendlySniper: Or as [[WithFriendsLikeThese "friendly"]] as you can get with a LovableRogue such as himself.
* LovableRogue: Like Aphra, he's not loyal to anyone but himself. [[spoiler:Except for his brother Pak, whose safety he will do anything to ensure]].
* TheMole: [[spoiler:For Ronen Tagge, who is financing his brother's medical treatments and holding Pak's continued health and safety over Lucky's head.]]
* WithFriendsLikeThese: He and Aphra betray each other every now and then to steal the winnings for themselves when they given the opportunity, but they both know it's NothingPersonal as {{Lovable Rogue}}s and they continue to work together on subsequent heists regardless.

* LovableRogue: Like Aphra, he's not loyal to anyone but himself.

A disgraced professor from the Shadow University, dismissed after it was determined that her claim of the existence of the cursed Rings of Vaale lacked credible evidence.

** The creator of Doctor Aphra [[https://www.starwars.com/news/doctor-aphra-creator-kieron-gillen-co-writer-si-spurrier-discuss-whats-next-for-the-fan-favorite-rogue has confirmed that she is lesbian]].

* BadassGay: She exclusively likes the ladies and she's a space-jumping AdventurerArchaeologist.

* GoodIsNotDumb: He might be idealistic but he refuses to share any information with his daughter unless necessary.

* EvilCounterpart: To Han Solo, subtly. She's modeled on [[Franchise/IndianaJones Harrison Ford's second most famous character]], she becomes one of Vader's chief companions after he hires her for a one-off job, and her dynamic with Vader -- as an enthusiastic young adventurer paired with an older, quieter, stoic veteran -- clearly parallels Luke's dynamic with Han.

** The first issue of her second series has her stating that she refuses to work with [[EvilAristocrat Ronen Tagge]] as he is too unsavory even for her.

* WildCard: Even in the middle of the Rebellion, Aphra manages to be one of the most destructive forces of nature in the galaxy, being directly or indirectly responsible for thousands, if not millions, of deaths on both sides of the conflict and amongst the underworld. She will ally with whoever can keep her alive and get her a nice profit/archeological find and betray them at the drop of a hat, having done so the Rebels, Imperials, crime lords, and even Darth Vader. Entire planets have been partially destroyed as a result of her actions, and Aphra's penchant for chaos has attracted the attention of Rebel, Imperial, and underworld leaders who all want her dead.

!!Vulaada Klam

A young girl living in the lower levels of Milvayne with her qaberworm, Gurtyl. A refugee of the Galactic Civil War, she, her parents, and Gurtyl sought out a new life on Milvayne, but her parents were killed when the family was pushed off of the upper levels.

* AGirlAndHerX: A girl and her qaberworm.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Another family got tired of Gurtyl's smell and ratted out Vulaada's parents to the local police due to their [[SpottingTheThread faulty falsified records]]. As a result, Vulaada and her family were literally pushed off of the upper levels to their deaths, but Vulaada and Gurtyl survived.
* KidSidekick: After their adventure on Milvayne, Aphra takes Vulaada as a "trainee minion".
* LittleStowaway: Vulaada stows away on the Ark Angel and threatens to self-destruct it if Aphra doesn't take her away from Milvayne.
* ShootTheDog: Discussed. Aphra asks if Vulaada would kill her loyal qaberworm Gurtyl if it meant she could get out of Milvayne's lower levels and have everything she ever dreamed of. Vulaada answers that she's not sure what she would do.
* StreetUrchin: She was orphaned when her family was cast down into the UnderCity of Milvayne. She was lucky enough to fall into a safety net. Her parents weren't.
* TagalongKid: She stowed away on Aphra's ship and threatened to self-destruct it so Aphra took her on as a "trainee minion."
* WelcomeBackTraitor: She sells out Aphra and Triple-Zero to Milvayne police but later offers them transportation on Gurtyl. Aphra accepts mainly because she's desperate and she understands Vulaada's decision, having ChronicBackstabbingDisorder herself.
