| 21 | With few capital ships at their disposal, the Resistance relies on its Starfighter Corps as its primary method of attack and defense against the First Order. Led by Commander Poe Dameron, the fighter pilots of the Resistance are a mix of veterans of the war against the Empire, disillusioned New Republic pilots, and eager recruits who believe wholeheartedly in the cause or have felt the brutality of the First Order firsthand. |

| 42 | Born on the Outer Rim world of Akiva, Temmin is the son of Alliance war hero Norra Wexley and Brentin Wexley. After the Battle of Endor, he joined his mother as part of a special New Republic unit devoted to hunting down Imperial war criminals. Thirty years after Endor, Temmin joined the Resistance to combat the growing threat of the First Order, serving in Blue Squadron and becoming known as the organization's best reconnaissance pilot. He also served as the second-in-command of the Special Ops Black Squadron, which he command when Poe was on other assignments. |
| 43 | ---- |
| 44 | * AcePilot: He's a highly skilled reconnaissance pilot. He also helps Poe Dameron take down Starkiller Base in his X-wing, and lives to tell the tale. |
| 45 | * TheArtfulDodger: In his youth, Temmin was quite involved in the local black market. |
| 46 | * BandOfBrothers: With the rest of Black Squadron. |
| 47 | * BattleCouple: With Karé after they get together until she breaks up with him out of fear their relationship was affecting their work. However, she later reconsiders and they get married, cementing their status. |
| 48 | * CallSign: Flew as Blue One for the Resistance. In Black Squadron, he flies as Black Two until being appointed as Black Leader after the destruction of Starkiller Base. |
| 49 | * CharacterDeath: He is shot down during the Battle of Exogol before TheCavalry shows up. |
| 50 | * CharacterTic: His nervous snapping, which is how he got his nickname. |
| 51 | * ChildSoldier: He began serving the New Republic military when he was only fifteen, although he was working alongside his mother under special circumstances. |
| 52 | * DueToTheDead: After the Battle of Exogol, the surviving pilots of Black Squadron gather together and hold a memorial for Snap on Ajan Kloss. |
| 53 | * EarlyBirdCameo: His childhood adventures are detailed in ''[[Literature/StarWarsAftermath Aftermath]]'' trilogy. |
| 54 | * {{Expy}}: Of Jek Porkins, being a hefty, bearded X-wing pilot. |
| 55 | * GadgeteerGenius: He was something of an electronics whiz when he was kid. In fact, he managed to do the seemingly impossible feat of turning a B-1 Battle Droid (the skinny basic droids from the Prequel Trilogy) into a terrifying killing machine. In ''The Force Awakens'' he is shown performing maintenance on his own X-wing. |
| 56 | * GenerationXerox: His mom, Norra Wexley, was a Rebel war hero who flew as a wingman for the ''Millennium Falcon'' during the attack on the Second Death Star. Despite some initial RefusalOfTheCall, he ends up following in his mom's footsteps, first joining her special commando unit and eventually flying as Poe's wingman for the attack on Starkiller Base. |
| 57 | * HappilyMarried: Marries Karé during their tenure together in Black Squadron. Poe notes that despite their differences, the two of them are a perfect couple. |
| 58 | * InSeriesNickname: Snap, which he got because he has a habit of snapping his fingers when nervous or frustrated. |
| 59 | * JumpedAtTheCall: He was part of the founding group of Resistance members. |
| 60 | * TheMentor: He was Jessika Pava's. She initially failed her live-fire piloting test to join the military, but Snap saw potential in her and used his connections to get her in and took responsibility for training her himself, which led to Jess becoming one of the best pilots in the Resistance. |
| 61 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Has this reaction in ''Aftermath'' when his plan to stay on Akiva by [[spoiler:selling out Sinjir and Jas to the Empire blows up in his face and he learns the hard way about making deals with Imperial Stormtroopers breathing down your neck]]. |
| 62 | * MyGreatestFailure: While leading Black Squadron in the aftermath of the destruction of Starkiller Base on a mission to find allies for the Resistance, Snap is tricked by King Siroc of Pastoria into eliminating a rival who opposed the First Order under the belief they were actually a pro-First Order terrorist. This and other failures on the mission make Snap question his leadership skills and make him understanding of Poe's mutiny against Holdo when they reunite. |
| 63 | * OldSoldier: He is closer to fifty than forty, and he has been serving in the Rebel Alliance/New Republic/Resistance military forces since he was ''fifteen''. He takes exception when Karé Kun compares him to L'ulo, another veteran of the war against the Empire who is much older than Temmin. |
| 64 | * ParentalAbandonment: His father was taken from him by the Empire and his mother joined the Rebel Alliance when he was a little kid. It takes him awhile to get over this and reconcile with his mom. |
| 65 | * PutOnABus: According to AllThereInTheManual, he was likely sent to other evac points or on missions after the destruction of Starkiller Base along with other pilots like Jessika, which is why we don’t see him in ''Film/TheLastJedi''. |
| 66 | * RankUp: He is promoted to from Captain to Major between ''The Last Jedi'' and ''The Rise of Skywalker''. |
| 67 | * RefusalOfTheCall: He originally wanted nothing to do with the Rebel Alliance/New Republic or with his mother or even leaving Akiva, having become quite adapt at dealing with Akiva's criminal element. Circumstances and a major mistake (see MyGodWhatHaveIDone) eventually cause him to rethink this attitude. |
| 68 | * ShipTease: Nearly admits to Karé that he has feelings for her when Temmin thought he was going to die. She confronts him about it when they return to base and reveals she also has feelings for him, leading to the two to start dating. |
| 69 | * TragicKeepsake: Keeps a copy of Mister Bones' code with him as a good luck charm. This comes in handy when Poe is stranded with a BX-commando droid that refuses to fight: Temmin transmits the code from orbit to the droid, who becomes a murder-machine and slaughters most of Terex's men. |
| 70 | * UndyingLoyalty: He has known Leia since he was a teenager and has complete faith in her leadership. The reveal of Darth Vader as her father did nothing to shake that loyalty and he was one of the first pilots to join the Resistance when she formed it. |
| 71 | * WartimeWedding: He and Karé are married by Leia immediately after they get back together, knowing that the time for such things in the Resistance is short and that open conflict with the First Order looms close. |
| 72 | * {{Wingman}}: He was Poe's longest serving and most frequent wingman. After Snap's death, Poe praises him as the best wingman he ever had flown with. |

| 86 | |
| 87 | A human female from Dandoran, Jess is a skilled X-Wing pilot and mechanic. While normally assigned to Blue Squadron, she is also a member of Black Squadron, Poe's secret special-ops unit dedicated to locating Lor San Tekka. |
| 88 | ---- |
| 89 | * AcePilot: Like Poe, Wexley, and Nunb, Jess is one of precious few pilots to come out of the assault on Starkiller Base still in one piece. On those grounds alone, she definitely qualifies. |
| 90 | * ActionGirl: Aside from being a skilled pilot, Jess is also skilled with a blaster. During Black Squadron's infiltration of Megalox prison Jess' quick thinking saves them when she uses gas grenades to take out a large number of prisoners attacking them. |
| 91 | * AscendedFangirl: She's been a huge admirer of Luke Skywalker since she was a child. |
| 92 | * BandOfBrothers: With the rest of Black Squadron. |
| 93 | * BadassInDistress: During Jess, Karé, and Suralinda Javos' mission to Spalex, they are captured by the First Order. They escape by Jess and Karé running to distract the guards, allowing Suralinda to reprogram her camdroids to crash into the stormtroopers from several stories high, killing them. |
| 94 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Implied. When Suralinda asks why she modifies all her ships, Jess has a flashback to her family in a ship with her mother reacting to something going wrong while another vessel approaches, and only responds "Control." A subsequent issue has another flashback that shows her family captured and bound by an alien, presumably to be sold as slaves. |
| 95 | * EarlyBirdCameo: She appeared in the FramingStory of the novel ''The Weapon of a Jedi'' ahead of her appearance in the movie. |
| 96 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: During the battle to prevent the First Order from capturing Lor San Tekka, Jess' X-Wing was disabled and a missile was coming directly at her. She made peace with her death, noting it would at least be quick and the mission was a success, but her astromech |
| 97 | Ivee ejects to intercept the missile and save her. |
| 98 | * HeroWorshipper: Of Luke Skywalker, and she freaks out a bit when she meets C-3PO and realizes who he is and that he served with Luke. |
| 99 | * InSeriesNickname: The droids of the Resistance have taken to calling her "The Great Destroyer" due to the number of astromechs she has lost on missions. |
| 100 | * TheJinx: The astromech droids of the Resistance consider her one, as every droid she is assigned gets destroyed on Black Squadron's missions. Eventually they refuse to work with her, forcing Jess to fly without an astromech. Fellow Resistance pilot Zari Bangel tries to set up a meeting between Jess and the astromechs, but they all leave except for BB-8, who [[FlippingTheBird flips out his lighter to her as either a thumbs up or something else]]. |
| 101 | -->'''Jess:''' Are we sure that means what we think it means? |
| 102 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: In the ''Poe Dameron'' comics, Jess, Kare, and Suralinda recorded the First Order occupying a planet in order to show the New Republic the First Order is a threat. However, she freaks out when she sees pirates mistreating slaves, and starts attacking them. Kare and Suralinda join in and the recording is destroyed. |
| 103 | * PlaguedByNightmares: Jessika Pava has nightmares about whatever happened to her family. When Poe wakes her up from a nap, she [[CatapultNightmare shoots awake]] and looks terrified, worrying Poe about her mental state, but unfortunately, the Resistance is in such a bad place at the moment there literally [[ThereAreNoTherapists are no therapists]] to help her. |
| 104 | * PutOnABus: According to AllThereInTheManual, after the destruction of Starkiller Base, she and most of Poe's other surviving pilots were reassigned to other evacuation points or on missions, which is why she isn't seen in the events of ''Film/TheLastJedi''[[note]]Jessica Henwick was not able to reprise her role as Jessika in ''Film/TheLastJedi'' due to filming other projects[[/note]]. The final arc of ''Poe Dameron'' features that mission, with Black Squadron attempting to locate allies for the Resistance, and they rejoin the main Resistance forces in ''Resistance Reborn''. |
| 105 | * TalentedButTrained: She initially failed to join the New Republic military because she failed on her live-fire piloting test, but Snap saw potential in her and pulled some strings to get her in. He then personally trained Jess which resulted in her becoming one of the best pilots in the Resistance. |
| 106 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: Dislikes working with Suralinda due to her initial deceit when joining the Resistance and her cynical and often embellished propaganda stories. Jess does save her life on Ikkrukk, but Poe notices that despite that Jess still does not personally like Suralinda. |
| 107 | * TomboyishPonytail: Wears her hair in a ponytail all the time, which makes sense as Jess is a mechanic and pilot who needs to keep her hair out of her face. |
| 108 | * {{Tuckerization}}: Jessi''k''a Pava, played by Jessi''c''a Henwick. |
| 109 | * TwoferTokenMinority: In addition to being a woman who is an X-Wing pilot, she's one of the very few notable Asian characters in the franchise (the others being Commander Sato and Sabine Wren from ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]''). |
| 110 | * WrenchWench: She is a talented mechanic and is often assigned to maintenance shifts at the Resistance base due to her skills. She mentions to Poe that she has even found a way to increase the efficiency of the power convertors on her X-Wing by fifteen percent. Jess uses those upgrades to fly circles around First Order [=TIEs=] on Ovanis, causing them to crash while chasing her. |

| 132 | * RankUp: She is promoted from lieutenant to captain upon joining the Resistance and is given command of her own Starfighter squadron. |
| 133 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After the New Republic refuses to take action against the First Order even after there is proof it is rearming and raiding civilian vessels, Kun, Poe, and Arana all join the Resistance. |
| 134 | * ShipTease: In the third issue of ''Poe Dameron'', Snap seems on the verge of admitting he has feelings for Kun when it appears the squadron is going to be killed by the First Order. She confronts him about it in the next issue and reveals she also has feelings for him, leading to the two starting a relationship. |

| 219 | * CallSign: As a member of the Resistance's Red Squadron, he flew as Red Three during the Battle of Starkiller Base. |
| 220 | * CharacterDeath: He dies at the Battle of Exegol when Palpatine unleashes his Force lightning storm on the Resistance fleet. |
| 221 | * DeadpanSnarker: ''Moving Target'' has him frequently snarking about everything and everyone, much to Leia's amusement since the rest of her team can't understand him. |
| 222 | * DeathByAdaptation: He was still alive as of his last chronological appearance in ''Legends'' (43.5 ABY vs the Battle of Exegol's 35 ABY in Canon). |
| 223 | * FriendInTheBlackMarket: For Evaan. He provided her the services of his ship and all the weapons he had onboard free of charge in order to aid the survivors of Alderaan. |
| 224 | * JawDrop: He does this when he thinks that they are about to hit a low ceiling while flying through the Death Star. They just barely manage to tip the surface. |
| 225 | * JumpedAtTheCall: When Leia contacted old Rebels to join the Resistance, Nunb was among the first to answer her call. |
| 226 | * OhCrap: When he and Lando realize the Death Star II is fully operational. |
| 227 | * OldSoldier: With thirty years between the battles of Endor and Starkiller Base, Nunb has been piloting and fighting for the Rebellion and Resistance longer than some of his wingmates in Poe's squadron have been alive. Driving this home, he's one of the very few pilots who actually survive the destruction of Starkiller Base and the Battle of Crait, the latter of which trimmed the Resistance down to only enough people to fill up the ''Millennium Falcon''. |
| 228 | * RebelLeader: Helps command the Rebel cell on his homeworld shortly after the Battle of Hoth. Nunb even helps lead the planet in a revolt against the Empire that successfully kicks them off the planet. |
| 229 | * ReformedCriminal: He was a smuggler and arms dealer before becoming a respected member of the Rebel Alliance and one of the most prominent Sullustan resistance leaders. |
| 230 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Leia; they first met when he aided her in rescuing Alderaanian refugees a few days after the Battle of Yavin and has repeatedly come to her aid in the decades since. Even the revelation of Leia's true parentage did nothing to shake his faith in her, with Nunb being one of the few people to contact her afterwards and express his continued friendship and support. |

| 270 | * HiddenWeapons: Keeps a pair of vibro-knuckles tucked away in his boot. |
| 271 | * IntelligibleUnintelligible: Due to repeatedly misplacing his translator device, C'ai is only heard speaking his native Abednedish. Thankfully, Poe and most of the other pilots learned enough of the language from all the other Abednedo in the Resistance so they do not need the translator to understand him. He appears to have located his translator device in ''The Rise of Skywalker'', as he is heard speaking Basic. |

| 381 | * IronicFear: Despite being a pilot Joph does not handle heights very well, particularly the rickety and very long wooden bridges that link the islands and mountains of Pamarthe. He explains to Greer that flying doesn't bother him since he is control of his ship, which he does not have over the ancient bridges. |
| 382 | * JumpedAtTheCall: He was extremely excited about being assigned to work with Leia on a dangerous assignment, later volunteering for more off the books investigations. In the end, Joph becomes one of the founding members of the Resistance, recognizing that there is a hidden threat to the New Republic that no one else but Leia and her allies will respond to. |
| 383 | * LukeNounverber: In grand ''Star Wars'' tradition. |
| 384 | * MilitaryMaverick: Shows a few signs of this. For instance, when slicing the satellites around Ryloth that send Rinnrivin Di information, he "modifies" his orders from simply getting the data they have on them to sending them updates on Di's positon as well, a risky move that would be a lot easier to detect. He manages to pull it off, while Leia orders him to never modify his orders again without running it by her and then congratulating him on the idea and succeeding. |
| 385 | * TenderTears: Gatalentans do not consider crying anything to be ashamed of, and in fact believe it to be a sign of a good and caring heart. Hence, Joph begins crying when he finds out about [[spoiler:Greer having bloodburn]]. |

| 448 | * BloodKnight: She nostalgically reminisces to Torch about their successful rebel missions and how cool they were, and she cheerfully tells Tam to stay clear of the hangar as [[StuffBlowingUp she makes her grand escape from Tierny's ship]]. |
| 449 | * GoodParents: Torra loves her dearly and became a pilot to follow in her footsteps. Venisa left for the Resistance because she wanted to make sure Torra had a safe future. |
| 450 | * HappilyMarried: With Imanuel. According to Yeager, the two were inseparable ever since she got him to leave the Empire. |
| 451 | * IHaveYourWife: Due to the highly sensitive nature of her work, Yeager and her family (later joined by Kaz) have to keep her status and identity in the dark to everyone in order to prevent this (i.e. being held as a hostage). As a sign of trust, she confesses her identity to Tam, who understands what would happen if she reported this to her superiors. |
| 452 | * InkSuitActor: Resembles her voice actress, Tasia Valenza. |
| 453 | * ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: Six years ago, she left her family to join the Resistance and had to cut off communication with them due to the highly sensitive nature of her work. However, they do reunite every year at some undisclosed location on Torra's birthday. |
| 454 | * LikeParentLikeChild: Her charm, playfulness, and fierceness were definitely things she passed down to Torra. From Yeager's description alone, Kaz makes the comparison, to which Yeager responds that he has ''no'' idea. |
| 455 | * LovableRogue: She's a rare female example of this in the franchise. She's a reckless and smooth-talking heroic pilot who knows how to use a blaster and make a slick escape — does this remind you of anyone? |
| 456 | * LoveRedeems: She convinced Imanuel to defect from the Empire. |

| 462 | * MissingMom: She's Torra's mother, but she left six years prior to [[Recap/StarWarsResistanceS2E8RendezvousPoint "Rendezvous Point"]] to join the Resistance. |
| 463 | * NoYou: Upon being captured by Tierny and her men, the agent demands that she identify herself, to which our pilot replies "You first." Tierny is not amused. |
| 464 | * OneDegreeOfSeparation: She ends up having this to Kaz, as she happens to be Hugh and Norath's squadron commander, two people with separate connections to him. |
| 465 | * ParentsAsPeople: When the First Order became a known threat, she left to join the Resistance in order to protect people including her daughter, but her husband disagreed and wanted to stay out of it, not wanting to get involved in another war. Though they've had countless arguments about it, they still love and care about each other and Torra dearly. |
| 466 | * RousingSpeech: Gives one at a briefing in and later at the end of "Rebuilding the Resistance". Yeager and Doza note that she used to give these all the time back in the day. |
| 467 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Downplayed. Her husband is more grounded while she is rather suave, but that it isn't to say that she isn't serious either. |
| 468 | * ShoutOut: To ''WesternAnimation/ObanStarRacers'', in which the protagonist (whom Torra appears to be based off of) has a MissingMom, who is TheLostLenore to the protagonist's father and was also an AcePilot like her daughter. |
| 469 | * StarcrossedLovers: During the Galactic Civil War, she was a rebel pilot while her future husband was an Imperial officer until he decided to defect for [[LoveRedeems a certain personal reason]]. Yeager mentions that the two were inseparable. |
| 470 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: Despite the two apparently having never met, Tam thinks she looks familiar, almost certainly because she's Torra's mother. |
| 471 | * UnwantedAssistance: Aware of what she means to Yeager and that she has no idea what she's gotten herself into, she forcibly tries to take Tam with her back to the Colossus, but when Tam continues to be uncooperative, Venisa understands that she can't force her to return to the side of good and lets her stay but tells her to remember what she said about her true loyalties. |

| 473 | * YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: She reaches out to Tam and Rucklin, and it's also heavily implied that this was how she got to Imanuel. |

| 523 | * AffectionateNickname: Rose calls her Pae-Pae. |
| 524 | * AdvertisedExtra: Promotional material made her out to seem like she’d be at least as major as Jessika, Ello Asty, and Snap, only for her to be killed off in the first act of ''The Last Jedi''. |
| 525 | * AscendedExtra: That said, she gets a bit more screentime in the novelization for ''The Last Jedi'', briefly becoming a narrator. Even after her death, Rose continues to talk about what Paige was like, giving more details about her characterization. Paige also has a large presence in Rose's ''Age of Resistance'' issue, getting just as much focus as her sister. |
| 526 | * CoolBigSis: To Rose; they were even closer than twins, as described by the novelization, and her younger sister practically worshiped the ground Paige walked on. |
| 527 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Her homeworld was polluted and ultimately destroyed by the First Order's mining and weapons testing, resulting in the deaths of her and Rose's parents as well. It is this that inspires her to fight with the Resistance. |
| 528 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: As she's swallowed up in the explosion of her bomber (the ''Cobalt Hammer''), Paige merely closes her eyes and clutches her necklace. |
| 529 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: According to Rose, Paige was a serious animal lover, with fathiers being her favorite. |
| 530 | * HeroicSacrifice: During Poe's successful--if costly--Dreadnought strike at the start of ''The Last Jedi'', hers is the only bomber to make it to the drop point. With her co-pilot dead, she’s forced to detonate her payload while still in the blast radius. She succeeds in blowing up the First Order’s dreadnought, at the cost of her life (alongside many others). |
| 531 | * NervesOfSteel: She keeps a level head during Poe's assault on the Dreadnought, even as she finds her crew dead, is knocked to the ground by an explosion, hears Poe screaming in her ear to drop the payload, and has only a limited time to act. In the novelization, Rose describes her as the type of person who would be completely poised [[{{Foreshadowing}} even if her ship was unresponsive and turbolaser fire was all around her]]. |

| 593 | * AlliterativeName: Jo Jerjerrod? |
| 594 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: Meanwhile, Tiaan Jerjerrod was white. |
| 595 | * DarkSecret: Possibly in relation to his surname that just so happens to be the same as a dead Imperial moff's. [[spoiler:At one point, Jo contacts his parents, who tell him that he's doing well at what he's supposed to be doing and that they have a map to Luke's location. Since no mention has ever been made of Jo's parents by the Resistance and it seems that Jo is doing something may be bad for the rest of the Resistance, it implies that his family works for the First Order.]] |
| 596 | * EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:In the first book, it seems that he betrayed the group, but it turns out to be false. However, in the second book, he betrays the group for the First Order when he, Lorica, Mattis, and AG get captured.]] |
| 597 | * FamousAncestor: The Jerjerrod name is apparently a long line from the Core Worlds, which means that he's somehow related to the late Moff Tiaan Jerjerrod. That being said, however, Jo loathes the Empire's successor, the First Order, suggesting either there's a SinsOfTheFather or something else going on with Jo. |
| 598 | * IcyBlueEyes: Mattis emphasizes his eyes when noting his stoic personality during their first meeting. |
| 599 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Since one of his friends is a Gungan, he throws in random Gungan phrases every now and then. |
| 600 | * SinsOfTheFather: Maybe. He loathes the First Order, likely in part of Moff Jerjerrod and presumably the rest of the Jerjerrods' loyalties to its predecessor, the Empire [[spoiler:...and it is implied that the Jerjerrod family is still loyal to the First Order]]. [[spoiler:However, considering Jo doesn't seem that happy or gung-ho about what the Jerjerrod family is up to nowadays, it would appear that joining in on the family business is [[WhiteSheep a reluctant and unhappy choice for him]].]] |

| 615 | * AudienceSurrogate: The target audience of the ''Join the Resistance'' books are middle grade kids that are new to the franchise and/or are new lovers of the franchise, just as how Mattis is a HeroWorshipper and is around the age of twelve to fourteen. |
| 616 | * BlackAndWhiteMorality: He seems convinced that the Resistance and its predecessor, the Rebellion/Rebel Alliance, have done nothing wrong, and the First Order (and the Empire) and the Fringe are ''everything'' that's wrong. |

| 620 | * HeroicWannabe: He wants to be the next Poe, maybe even the next Luke. |
| 621 | * HeroWorshipper: He's a pretty big fan of the heroes of the Rebel Alliance and the Resistance, and [[HeroicWannabe he wants to be just like them]]. |
| 622 | * IAmWho: Subverted. He believes that he's [[spoiler:Force-sensitive]], having realized this from the descriptions about those kinds of people from the Phirmists. There haven't been any explicit signs that he actually is one, however, but he claims that he can feel it flowing through his body. He's also kept this information to himself. |
| 623 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: He hasn't done anything too insensitive yet, but he refuses to keep his voice down when he fanboys over meeting Lorica, believing that everyone should know about her heroics (despite that they probably ''do''--she likely did those heroics under the orders of the Resistance, and their meeting is in the Resistance base itself). [[spoiler:Considering what exactly happened that caused Lorica to join the Resistance, she likely just doesn't like people squeeing over her heroics in her face out of both annoyance and guilt/shame.]] |
| 624 | * JumpedAtTheCall: The first line of the series is literally someone asking if he's ready to join the Resistance. |
| 625 | * KidHero: He's fifteen years old at the beginning of the series. |
| 626 | * NaiveNewcomer: He thinks the Galaxy works in a BlackAndWhiteMorality and thinks he's destined to be a hero like Poe or Luke. Though given he's the protagonist of his series, he probably ''will'' be a hero, though maybe not as famous as Poe or Luke. |
| 627 | * NiceGuy: The reason why he was recruited by the Resistance in the first place is because he always held out for the other kids at the orphanage. |

After rumors starting flying around that the illegal weapons cache found in her family's hotel was blown up by Lorica herself, her family enrolled her into the New Republic Military Academy on Ganthel to help support her newfound image of being a hero.
