Around 397 BBY, a female Evereni named Vika Faer was born, existing during the time of the High Republic Era. No earlier than 379 BBY, Faer and her twin sibling Velya made a stop at a space dock situated above the gas giant Siquay to replenish the fuel of their ship. The Faers were then tracked down by the Evereni pirate leader Marda Ro, who extended an invitation to them, which they accepted with reluctance. Subsequently, Faer and her brother encountered Ro within the throne hall located on her starship, known as the Gaze Electric.
Ro welcomed the pair and proposed they share a meal with her. They remained on the Gaze for a number of days, joining Ro's pirates on a raid. Upon their return, a feast was celebrated in the throne hall. During this feast, Ro's assistant Alirya approached Faer from behind and stabbed her with a dagger as the Evereni spoke with Ro. In response, Faer killed Alirya, but Ro then shot Faer for her actions. Following her death, Faer's brother became enraged at Ro, but she pacified him and persuaded him to join her. Ro later made mention of Faer in a memoir recorded for her descendants, which her great-great-grandson Marchion Ro had listened to by 252 BBY.
During the High Republic Era, a female Evereni named Vika Faer lived. She was born around 397 BBY, and she grew up with her twin brother, Velya Faer. By a time no earlier than 379 BBY, the pair possessed a ship, and Faer had become acquainted with Evereni known as Espri and Rad.
At a point in time no earlier than 379 BBY, Faer and her brother made a stop at a space dock in orbit around the gas giant Siquay to refuel their ship. The Faers spent a period of time at the dock, allowing Marda Ro—the Evereni who founded a group of pirates that would eventually evolve into the Nihil—the opportunity to find them during her search for others of her species. Ro dispatched three ships under her command to intercept the Faers, extending an invitation for them to meet with her.
Despite initial hesitation, the twins ultimately accepted the invitation with reluctance. Vika and Velya were escorted to the Gaze Electric, Ro's vessel, and guided to its throne hall by the raiders Esstrop and Kortanio. Ro greeted the Faers, and they engaged in a brief conversation, during which Vika revealed her and Velya's names to Ro and mentioned that their grandmother was acquainted with the Ros.
They joined Ro for a meal prepared by her human assistant Alirya, and as Ro had grown up separated from her species' culture, the Faers shared details about their family and other Evereni. Alirya also offered the three Evereni liquor, though none of them consumed it. After they finished eating, Ro challenged Faer and Velya to a sparring match. Faer requested to go first, and her brother offered to oversee the friendly fight. As Ro drew her staves, Faer unsheathed her knife and questioned Ro's choice of weapons. Ro responded and swiftly attacked Faer, who quickly disarmed her of one of the staves and slashed her arm open with her claws.
The Evereni women continued their fight, and Ro tossed Faer over her shoulder, immediately positioning herself on top of her to press her other stave against Faer's throat. Faer managed to break free from the hold by dislodging Ro, after which Velya intervened to halt the fight. Faer and Ro exchanged smiles, at which point Alirya rushed to Ro to tend to the wound she had sustained during the spar. Faer asked Alirya to bring the liquor from earlier, but Alirya ignored both Faer and her brother until Ro assured her she was fine. While Alirya was fetching them the liquor, Faer remarked that she was a sweet pet, and Ro countered by explaining that Alirya is important and as valuable as she makes herself.
Faer and her brother remained on the Gaze Electric for several days, and while her brother alternated his time between her and Ro, Faer explored every part of the Gaze. When Ro's pirates embarked on a raid, the Evereni twins joined them and returned with abundant spoils. Like Ro's raiders, they presented offerings to her while playfully teasing each other and her about it, with Ro teasing them back that it is the price for eating and sleeping on the Gaze. Following the raid, a feast was held in the throne hall to commemorate everyone's safe return.
During the event, Faer moved a chair next to Ro's throne and brought the pirate leader a small plate of finger cakes. Faer informed Ro that her brother finds Ro to be beautiful, and the two conversed while Ro nibbled on a finger cake. Unbeknownst to either of them, Alirya approached Faer stealthily while they were talking, and Faer was stabbed from behind with a dagger by Alirya.
The human retreated with the dagger covered in blood, and Faer swiftly grabbed her neck and wrist. She stood to her full height, lifting Alirya off the floor, and broke her wrist while she kicked at Faer. She dug her claws into the human's throat and dropped her dead body onto the floor. During the ensuing chaos, Faer's brother rushed to her to examine her wound, while Ro—shocked by Alirya's death—retrieved a blaster from a hidden compartment in her throne and shot Faer in her chest.
Velya was consumed with rage towards Ro for murdering Faer. She explained to him that Alirya tried to murder Faer because she felt the Evereni threatened her position and she wanted to eliminate competition, and also offered him Alirya's newly vacant place by Ro's side. While hesitant due to Faer's death, her brother ultimately accepted the position. Faer's body was subsequently removed soon after, and—because of her death—Ro questioned Faer's brother about Evereni traditions regarding the dead. He explained to her that the name should be remembered, bodies of dead Evereni are worthless.
Later, Ro discussed Faer and her death in a message she recorded for her descendants. By 252 BBY, during his youth, Ro's great-great-grandson Marchion Ro had listened to her journal, including the entries where Faer was mentioned. In 228 BBY, while listening to the journal again, Ro remembered that the journal's contents chronicled his great-great-grandmother's hunt for Evereni, including Faer.
As an Evereni, Faer possessed black eyes and gray skin. She had a scalloped ear that had barbed metal woven through it and wild hair long enough to conceal the ear. Her face resembled that of her brother, and she also shared her sleek and predatory stride with him. Faer enjoyed fighting, experiencing exhilaration during combat. She was condescending towards Alirya, referring to her as a pet, and she was also considered beautiful by Ro.
Faer wore gray and red clothing designed to conceal blood, and soft-soled boots that allowed her to move silently. She also carried a long knife in a sheath on her thigh, and she and her brother owned a starship.
Vika Faer made an appearance in flashbacks within the short story "A Closed Fist Has No Claws," penned by Tessa Gratton and featured in the 2023 young-adult anthology The High Republic: Tales of Light and Life as a component of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project. In an interview, Gratton mentioned that he knew they needed one Evereni who rejects Marda Ro and a second one who would accept her. Those ended up becoming the elder Evereni Isren and Faer's brother Velya respectively, but while the initial plan was to have only those two, Gratton later realized that the story would benefit from having two Evereni with a dynamic similar to that of Ro and her cousin Yana Ro, which led to Faer's conception.
In addition to wanting the dynamic, Gratton said she also wanted to have a scene in the short story where Ro shoots somebody in the chest, because the character usually opts to use claws instead. Coming up with Faer's was a complicated process according to Gratton, because there was a lot of pieces that he needed to rearrange in order to make Faer's death feel like a climatic moment of the story. They wanted the scene to be violent and after receiving notes asking if it would be possible to make the scene more brutal on the first submited draft, she was delighted at the request. Gratton also revealed that he thinks that due to the pain she carries with her, Ro interprets her experiences with other Evereni she's met—such as Faer—painfully, taking the wrong lesson from them instead of interpreting them in a beautiful way.
