Carmelle was born and raised in the apartment above 'Cherry', a less than-respectable bar in the underbelly of Coruscant. Her mother, Coco, ran out shortly after giving birth and left Carmelle to be raised by her father. Carmelle was fiecely protective and loving of her father and lived her entire life to make him happy. He was brutally murdered by a spirit when she was sixteen. After the death of Garyn Cherry, Carmelle became even more isolated than she previously was, being forced to drop out of school in order to run the bar and give up all her other activities, except for her bi-weekly training with a former Jedi. Unfortunately even that had to be given up when all of Cherry's employee's suddenly seemed to up and quit, leaving Carmelle to run it single handedly.

The former Jedi responsible for Carmelle's training taught her how to fight and meditate, despite her utter lack of Force-sensitivity. Her meditation had another purpose: it gave her greater control over her ability to interact with the dead. As a child she constantly felt the presences of the deceased, but it takes...unique enhancement to be able to see them properly. Unfortunately, just because she couldn't always see the spirits doesn't mean she couldn't always feel them, and they often took advantage of that in Carmelle's younger years, using her as a punching bag if you will, working out their frustrations physically when they weren't able to do it vocally. Because of this Carmelle has permanent scars and burns over much of her body, the primary reason why Carmelle never shows any more skin then she absolutely must.

Generally dislikes being a Senshi and all that it entails. Likes to believe that she has little compassion for her fellow beings and claims that the universe is 'every being for itself' and hates it when her conscience forces her to assist others. She mainly fights because of the conviction that should the Sith take over Coruscant then Cherry would be destroyed, and that would bother her quite a bit.

She has a single-minded devotion to the Gods of Music, whom she has pledged her life to serve in all ways - this usually comes in the form of destroying those who make 'disrespectful' musical attempts. What is or is not respectful is, of course, entirely in Carmelle's opinion.
