A0-R9

Old Republic
Over three thousand years before the infamous Clone War and Galactic Civil War, A0-R9 served as a Republic medical droid. She was stationed on the planet Taris, despite it being a wasteland from a worldwide incident hundreds of years prior. She encountered many travelers at her station, including Jedi, smugglers, and Republic agents and soldiers.

Eventually, her station was left abandoned and so was she. Over the years, A0-R9 started to run down and rust. She shut down and lay to rest as the foliage around her covered her metal body and hid her from society and history.

Reawakening
Over a decade after the fall of the Galactic Empire, an injured young boy stumbled upon A0-R9's body and reactivared her using an energy cell he found. She woke up and immediately went to work in treating his wounds the best she could with the materials she had. The boy introduced himself as Doman Windosa and asked if she would go back home with him so he could fix her up. She complied after learning her era was long gone.

Resistance
Over the years, A0-R9, later affectionately dubbed Aura, worked alongside Doman and assisted him in anyway she could. She even was by his side when Doman joined the Resistance to keep the First Order from taking galactic control. She joined his newly formed Nova Squadron as their medical and protocol droid.

Characteristics
A0-R9 was overall a cheerful persona and tried her best to not only treat her patients physically but emotionally as well. For a droid, she was very sympathetic and often wondered if the emotions she sometimes felt were genuine like a sentient being. But even with a joyful personality, A0-R9 would often get frustrated or angry if those she believed in would doubt themselves or think of themselves as useless or unwanted. Doman thinks that stemmed from her abandonement issues and insecurities such as feeling she was "just a droid, an expendable and easily-replaceable machine."

Equipment
A0-R9 was a standard model medical droid from the Old Republic era. A0-R9 was programmed to know how to treat multiple kinds of illnesses, diseases, injuries, and even mental health issues. Although originally not a protocol droid, Doman was able to upgrade her programming by providing her with the intelligence and social efficiency of one. She was eventually able to speak in over seven millions forms of communication.
