Hair: Iphi's hair, often worn no longer than the middle of the back of her neck, or chin length. Naturally, her hair is mahogany brown, but over the years, she has recolored her hair from a blazed honey orange, to a black, to a darker brown, or a multi-color scheme of streaks using the afore mentioned colors. Her current hair color is honey orange with honey blond streaks.
Eyes: Iphi's exotic almond shaped, seamless eyes often seem proportionally large compared to the size of her head and her body, especially when she is wide-eyed. Her eyes emulate a natural allure, being shimmering brown orbs which shine with a captivating glow. Eye lashes, often enhanced with eye-liners accent the shape of her eyes, beautifully.
Blood type: A
Other: Iphi's skin is often seen as a paled caramel color when not masked by varying cosmetic products. Lately, she has been deprived of sun or other solar contact, and doesn't do the artificial tan. Iphi's skin is not without its flaws (pigment not withstanding) and blemishes, but she does spend the time to treat that which can be treated and mask that which cannot be treated (at all, or immediately) with cosmetics.
Usual Attire: Iphi's style is very casual. Wearing anything so long as it is comfortable. Soft denim pants, cotton-ish shirts, and sneakers.

Conceiving a Child
To put quite frankly, Iphi was by no means a planned, legitimate love-child between two, consenting, married, adult, human, man and woman in an established residence. Iphi was the product of a sexual assault in the sub levels of Coruscant. Iphi's mother, Kyra Mason, was a young swoop gang member that was set up and cashed-out as a slave to a rival gang racing on their turf. Kyra was just seventeen at the time. Iphi's biological father, Cayman Steel was rival gangs best swoop racer. Iphi was born and raised in the garage until she turned seven.
Moving to the Upper Levels and Adoptions
Iphi's mother made a deal with the gang leader: If she could raise enough money from swoop racing, she would buy her little girls freedom. Within eight months, Kyra saved up fourteen thousand credits and took her little girl Iphi to an adoption clinic in the upper levels of Coruscant. Kyra gave Iphi her last good-bye and disappeared into the lower levels. Iphi would never see her again.
Iphi was adopted at age 9 by a married couple that learned they could never conceive their own child. Iphi's adopted parents, Darius and Harley Cambria, gave her one of the best lives a parent could give a child. It was Iphi's lucky break, one would say. She was provided an education, a safe home, free hearty healthy meals and excellent medical care.
When Iphi was fourteen, Iphi was provided a pricey, pristine, exotic speeder. The speeder became the her life. Everything revolved around it.
Iphi's pre-teen social life was dangerous. From time to time, she would return to the lower levels and use her exotic speeder for high-stakes racing. Iphi was lucky for a time, until she got involved with a race crew. A 'gang' of about eight individuals that lived life on the very edge. Weekly, Iphi would disappear from home to race with her crew.
Redline
Iphi was born to go fast. With swoop racing in her blood, Iphi was able to convert her speeder to nearly match swoop performance. Certainly not handling, as her speeder was known to slide on its turns, but Iphi got used to the sluggish controls. It was no easy task but with the help of her crew, she did it. Coruscant authorities had a different idea, though. When they caught her in mid-race, authorities slammed her with so many moving violations, Iphi would never drive, fly or pedal ever again. The modified exotic speeder was all the evidence the authorities needed to convict her. After several court hearings, Iphi was charged with unlawful racing, illegal altering of a vehicle, and a handful of various violations. Age sixteen, and facing four years to a juvenile corrections facility, then five years in an adult penitentiary. She'd face fifteen years probation after that, in which she couldn't operate any vehicle.
Stacked Deck
Before the trial, and after being officially charged, a man in the suit claimed to be Lieutenant Arius Caisson of the Coruscant Customs, and he was looking for someone of Iphi's nature for a special operation. He needed someone who didn't come off as a narc. He needed somebody with street credibility, and with an ability such as hers. In return, he would make all of her charges magically go away and she would be freed back into society, if she helped him. He also didn't believe that a girl her age should be faced with such punishment, so he arranged with the Attorney General a deal, service to the Coruscant Police. Iphi thought about it, and accepted. Next court day, day 1 of the trial, she was 'convicted' and sentenced to service to the Coruscant Police.
The operation was a take-down of a swoop-gang crime lord, Cayman Steel. Cayman had been doing more than just your average swoop gang activities, such as laundering credits from various business, murdering mostly-innocent people, sexual assault and smuggling spice and slaves from the Coruscant underworld, extortion... you name it, he did it. All Iphi had to do was get a place in the gang, which involved several swoop and landspeeder races, chases, and transporting. From age 16 to 19, she served undercover as a coruscant police informant embedded in this gangs ranks. Three years, before Iphi was able to bring down the underground kingpin.
After successfully aiding in the bust of a swoop-gang leader and seizing his contraband, Iphi was relieved to be informed that she had lived up to her end of the deal, and was then 'set free' from her duty. He was satisfied with her performance, as was the local police. Iphi's family, who had adopted other children welcomed the matured Iphi back. However, Iphi's crew turned on her, claiming she narced on them. Iphi shifted into a hostile mood and pointed out that out of the five of them, she was the only one that had to serve any time-- even if it was an undercover operation--which they didn't need to know about. Iphi returned to the upper-city of the planet-city. Iphi had no job-skills, outside of flying and driving, and the last thing she wanted to do was travel the air-lanes of Coruscant. After much deliberation with her parents, Iphi decided that she would be best in the Republic Navy. Iphi wasted no time when the decision was made, and she made her way to the closest recruiters office. Iphi didn't only express interest in becoming a pilot. Iphi didn't have to wait long before being sent off with the next class of pilot trainee's, to Raltiir.
Age 19, Iphi didn't adapt too well, to all the discipline and physical training. Initially, there was friction between the Instructors and the sarcastic Iphi. She always found herself doing push ups, just about every corner she turned around. Iphi's demeanor remained good natured, and virtually unphased by the Instructors attempt at building her down. Although a threat to removing her from the academy of Raltiir brought the girl back to 'reality' and Iphi shaped up. Iphi worked twice as hard as the majority of the other cadets, due to the fact that she didn't want to spend double-the-training time, just to learn to fly craft she basically already knew how to fly. Iphi made it, through the grueling first year. The next year was spent in flight systems familiarization, and standard procedure's for current Republic star fighters, transports and capitol vessels, as well as speeder bikes, and survival equipment, along with navigational training both ground and space. Iphi caught on quick, and the knowledge stuck--but unlike the first year, she applied herself. Third year, Iphi and her class received more time behind the controls of craft that they would likely fly during their service, as well as reinforcing the standard operating procedure's and the unconventional procedure's. Iphi's third year evaluation was good-- real good. The instructors were impressed. Sure, she was flimsy and jerky at first. But she learned to smooth her control out in a surprising way. She wasn't given special treatment, but she did take the eye of one of the younger instructors. Although, he was more interested in her exotic beauty, than her piloting skill. He wouldn't admit that directly, as he told her that he was immensely impressed with her piloting ability, for what seemed to be a first time. Iphi was young and impressionable, and took to the instructors charms. For the majority of her third year, the affair lasted, but only until she discovered he was a married man. Then her world came crashing down. Iphi let him have an ear full. The instructor learned the meaning of the phrase "hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn." Iphi filed a complaint soon after and the investigation lead to a probationary period for Iphi, and the ejection from service for the instructor. By the end of the fourth year, Iphi perfected her flight skills, but her evaluation detailed her lack of control and patience. This was not enough to deny graduation, so she was graduated with the rank of Pilot Officer, and assigned with the flight group; the Crusaders.

| Character Possessions
|
- Micro-Digital Music Player. This device holds hours and hours of music, for Iphi. The player itself is a highly reliable and highly expensive brand, but well worth the price. Included with it are the equally reliable ear buds. Together, they deliver seamless music with zero flaws, unless there is corrupted data, in which case, the player attempts to compensate, and in this event, the music will either skip ahead, skip several times repeating a completely random section of music, usually 5 seconds back from where the music skipped, or it will completely skip the song entirely. Iphi values her music, and the music player is a sign of her seriousness to that passion.
- Small furnished condominium on Coruscant. Coruscant is Iphi's home still, and with most of her Imperial Pay, she has afforded herself a condominium not too far from where her parents live. It's fully furnished and prepared for important company, should she ever get any on her time away from the Prosecutor.
- Small box of jewelery. Iphi doesn't wear jewelery often, but for when the occasion calls for it, she has it.
- Closet full of casual-ish clothes. Iphi prefers the denim, and softer more comfortable clothes that modest civilians wear. Nothing elaborate, just denim pants and a t-shirt. Iphi's closet is full of mostly those types, different types of t-shirts and various colors of denim pants, along with matching shoes and boots. Other clothes vary, including plushy vests, sun-visors, welders goggles which she uses as outfit accessories, belts, old fashioned military I.D. Tags, and varying hats, mainly different styles of sun guards.
- Standard, every day, Imperial Issue gear for pilots.

| Character Personality
|
|
Iphi is often times quite the girly-girl. However, she projects herself as confrontational with her sarcastic tones, especially her sarcastic humor. She will generally aim to piss someone off, make someone laugh, or tell someone off. This is mostly due to mistrust and being afraid of being alone. A contradiction by nature, but she often times chooses no love and no friends over being used and abused. This fear of loneliness is natural to humans, and several other species, but Iphi's fear of being abused comes from first-hand and second-hand experience.
Another experience-influenced thing of Iphi's is her racial disposition. She is not exactly intolerant of non-humans, but some things she'll say tell otherwise. Having grown on Coruscant, and spending much time in the lower levels where the gangs operate, she has observed the behavior of many races of various non-human species. Iphi hates Devornians hands-down. Iphi is flat out terrified of Wookiee's, disgusted by Hutts, Gamorreans, Aqualish and Rodians. Most droids she doesn't trust. She's not always outwardly open about it, but something is always running through her head.
Iphi's political disposition is possibly the simplest in the galaxy: Politics are for Politicians; If it works -- Frak It. Iphi is really apathetic to any form of government. Nothing ever works because every form of government is about the same thing in a different form: Power, Money, Resources and Control. So imagine her reaction when the Republic was converting to an Imperial society. "Frak. It. Who cares."
Iphi loves speed. Iphi loves to take something that moves (on wheels, tracks, treads, legs, or repulsorlift) and make run fast. She loves the adrenalin rush. Iphi was practically raised around swoopers and speeders, and hung around the former pod racers-- about the only time she'd ever drop her racist quirks. Iphi's driving and piloting skills are excellent--not perfect, just excellent. She is and insane, brazen driver/pilot. When she is at the controls, she is always racing, pushing whatever she is in to the limits. She may be good. She may be damned good. But she is severely dangerous to herself and those around her when she drives or flies.
Although Iphi is considered a 'loner', Iphi has a gravity around her that draws people in around her. The first thing her (step)father taught her was a little friend-philosophy: Who you Choose to be around you, lets you know who you are. Iphi has followed this very closely, and so her friends are few, but they are quality friends that truly care about her. Nothing could be truer said about the quality of her friends, even if they were initially pulled in by Iphi's gravity... Other than morals and ethics, Iphi values nothing more than her friends and family (even if she is adopted).
Water. Human beings are comprised of well over sixty-percent water in their body mass. Iphi knows this, but still is terrified of water. Anything larger than a tall glass full of water. It is a severe aqua-phobia that she may have been born with. As many attempts have been made to break this unfounded fear, all have failed or made it worse, even if just temporarily. This fear is quite debilitating.
Next to adrenalin, music makes Iphi the happiest girl in the galaxy. Because of her underworld background, her taste of music is hip-hopish. She does enjoy jazzy style, and rock. You can usually find her with ear-buds in her ears, playing music from a micro-digital music player, handy for a military pilot. It's never so loud that nobody can grab her attention, but just played loud enough for her to hear.
Iphi has recently become a caffe addict, in no small part due to the influence of her family. Unfortunetly, Iphi finds herself having energy crashes, so until allowed sleep, she is constantly drinking caffe. Like many caffe addicts, she has become very dependent on the drink, always having a cup in her hand, unless she is flying, in which case, she often finds a way to smuggle a cup into the cockpit with her.
Iphi is an anemic and a hemopheliac. When she bleeds... she bleeds. This has lead to a mild form of hemophobia. She freaks out when she see's blood, especially if it is her own. A bloody nose will get her groaning and hyperventilating as if she were under the impression that it will never stop. A bleeding cut or scratch will cause nearly the same effect, just not quite as freak-outish.
Iphi's relationship with her sister is tight. Lianna was adopted shortly before Iphi was arrested. After Iphi got released at 19, Lianna was 12 and having troubles with her grades. Iphi's first bonding experience with Lia was during her rough learning experience, and this steeled Lia's fondness of Iphi. Although Iphi and Lia are completely different personalities, they are very close sisters, especially now that Lianna is closing on that maturing age. Iphi is highly protective of her sister and warns her almost every chance she gets, not to go to the under-cities of Coruscant. Lianna is well behaved, however she is yearning to be just like Iphi.
