Minerva Bridger is the younger sister of Ezra Bridger. The only daughter of Mira and Ephraim Bridger. She was only three when her parents were taken, she doesn't really remember them. It's always just be her and Ezra in her mind. But things change on her eleventh birthday where they meet the Ghost Crew. Their family grows and they find out what happened to their parents.

Minerva's POV

"Ok stay up here while I get us Jogan fruit" Ezra tells me.

"I'm not a toddle anymore Ezra" I remind him.

"I know, but it's your birthday. You shouldn't have to steal on your birthday" he tells me.

"But it's fun" I say with a pout. He smiles placing a hand on my head.

"Just let me spoil you little sister" he tells me.

"Ok, does that mean I can have a Loth Cat?" I ask him.

"I'll think about it, stay here and watch the master at work" he tells me with a smirk. I sigh and nod my head. I wonder how he'll get the food today? I lay on my stomach watching the street below. I notice a few imperials harassing the guy selling jogan fruit.

"All trade must be registered with the Empire" the imperil officer tells the guy selling the fruit.

"I remember what it was like before your ships showed up, before you Imperials ruined Lothal like the rest of the galaxy" the guy mutters. I can't remember life on Lothal being any different.

"This is LRC-01. I'm bringing in a citizen under a charge of treason" the officer says into his communicator and I notice Ezra. I smile, show time. "Take him away" he tells the troopers as the other officer grabs the fruit. Ezra approaches them keeping his head down.

"Hey, mister, a spare jogan?" he asks.

"Move along, Loth-rat" the officer holding the fruit tells him. Ezra moves past him apologizing, saying he wasn't looking for trouble. It usually finds us. He swipes the first officers communicator. He goes somewhere out of sight.

"All officers to the main square! This is a code red emergency" Ezra says into the communicator that he stole. The imperials leave dropping the fruit and releasing the guy. Once they leave Ezra approached him. "Stay on alert! Repeat, this is a code red" he says and the guy thanks him. Ezra thanked him nicking a few jogan fruit for us while helping the man pick up the fruit.

Ezra joins me on the roof. "Happy birthday Minerva" he says handing a fruit to me. I smile in gratitude and take a bite as we headed for the square to see how the imperials react to the false alarm. We kneel down and watch them join another squad connecting crates to speeders.

"What's the emergency?" the first officer asks.

"Emergency?" the third officer supervising the crates asks confused. I think he's a lieutenant.

"You called in a code red" the first officer tells him.

"I'm not sure what you mean. My orders are to get these crates to the Imperial Portal" the lieutenant tells him.

"Well, get them loaded then" the first officer tells him.

"Almost feel bad for them. Almost" Ezra tells me and I giggle silently. I suddenly have a strange feeling and frown in confusion. I look to see a man tap his leg twice at a beastly man. Wonder what sort of alien he is? It opens it's green eyes. The man moves to a girl in some sort of armor. He taps his leg twice and she taps her's thrice.

"That's weird" I mutter as they walk away from each other.

"Agreed" Ezra says and tackles me as the man looked our way. Once we heard an explosion we look at the street below again.

"Get those crates out of here! Keep them secure at all costs!" an imperial officer shouts. I look at Ezra and we smirk at each other.

"All costs, huh? I like the sound of that" Ezra says and I nod my head in agreement. As the man jumps onto a speeder after shooting the troopers. Ezra and I jump down onto a speeder. I land behind him and wrap my arms around his waist. "Thanks for doing the heavy lifting" he tells the man and alien.

He backs up and we duck the alien man. We zoom off through the city. "Best birthday ever!" I cheer laughing.

"Just hold on tight" he tells me and makes a sharp turn. We jolt slightly and I look back to see a girl in armor.

"Love your armor" I tell her smiling.

"Thanks kid. Pretty gutsy move! If the big guy catches you, he'll end you! Good luck" she tells us as she detached one of the crates. It made us go faster.

"What just happened?" Ezra asks me.

"The girl in armor nicked a crate" I tell him. "Also the other two are on our tail" I add. He makes another sharp turn to avoid civilians. As well as being shot at. We exit the city and are on the bridge leading to the plains. We're shot at and I scream. This went from fun to scary.

"Hold on Minerva" Ezra tells me and jumps into the other lane. Away from our pursuers. "You ok?" he asks me concerned.

"Yes, but can we go home?" I ask him.

"That's where we're heading" he assures me. Suddenly the man appears in front of us on his speeder. Ezra stops us, so we don't crush into him. "Who are you?" he demands.

"I'm the guy who was stealing that crate" the man answers.

"Hey, look, we stole this stuff, whatever it is, fair and square" Ezra tells him.

"Yeah" I say sticking my tongue out at the man.

"And you both made it pretty far. But I've got plans for that crate, so today is not your day" he tells us.

"It's my birthday, which makes it my day" I tell him smugly.

"Besides the day's not over" Ezra adds as we hear a tie fighter. We speed away leaving the man. We hear the tie follow us. "Whatever's in these crates must really be worth it! Better be worth it!" he shouts as dodges blasts from the tie.

"Look out!" I shout as a blast heads our way. It strikes and we're sent flying from the speeder. Ezra turns and holds me close protecting me from the fall. I clutch his vest as I shake.

"Are you ok?" he asks me concerned.

"I'm scared" I tell him.

"Don't worry, no one will ever hurt you while I'm around" he assures me.

"It's coming back!" I shout. Suddenly it's shot out of the sky by a star ship. It's ramp opens to reveal the man. He asks if we want a ride. I look at Ezra.

"Go, I'll be right behind you" he tells me. I nod and race towards the ship. I jump and the man grabs me pulling me aboard.

"Leave the crate, you'll never make it!" the man shouts. I turn to see Ezra running with the crate.

"Ezra!" I shout as the man stops me from jumping. Ezra makes it with the crate. Once the ramp closes the man lets me go. I run to Ezra and hug him tightly. "Don't scare me like that" I whimper.

"I'm sorry Minerva" he says quietly stroking my long hair. They open the crate to reveal blasters and I pout. I was hoping for credits. "Do you have any idea what these are worth on the black market?" he asks us.

"I do, actually. Don't get any ideas" the man tells him. Before going up a ladder leaving us with the alien and girl. Who hasn't removed her helmet.

"They're mine" Ezra tells him.

"Ours" I correct him.

"If you hadn't gotten in our way..." the alien starts to say.

"Too bad. We got to them first" Ezra tells him. I leave them to talk.

"Excuse me, what is he?" I ask the girl pointing to the alien.

"A lasat, his name is Zeb" she tells me. I nod my head in thanks. "The names Sabine, you?" she asks.

"Minerva, that's my big brother Ezra" I state. The ship jolts and Sabine stops me from falling. But Ezra falls and Zeb falls on top of him.

"Get off. I can't breathe" Ezra whines. Zeb gets off him saying he wasn't heavy in this gravity. I wonder what he meant by that? "Not the weight, the smell" he tells him.

"You don't like the air quality in here? Fine. I'll give you your own room" Zeb sneers. Grabbing Ezra by his foot.

"It's ok" Sabine assures me as Zeb locks Ezra in a compartment. I hide behind Sabine as Zeb looks our way. "Enough Zeb, you're scaring her" she tells him. I peak out from behind her and stick my tongue at him.

"Hey!" he shouts and I cling to Sabine.

"Zeb, be nice" she tells him.

"But she just stuck her tongue out at me" he whines.

"Honestly Zeb, grow up" she tells him.

"Zeb, Sabine. Where's the kid?" the man from earlier asks over a com system. Zeb opens the compartment to reveal it's empty and I pout. Ezra escaped and hasn't come back for me yet.

"Well, he is still in the ship" Zeb says sheepishly. We hear banging above from the ventilation system. I look up at the roof.

"Oh, he's in the ship all right" Sabine states. "Minerva please go up there, we'll find your brother" she tells me. I nod my head. I climb the ladder and enter the cock pit. The man passes me.

"Strap in kid" a green female alien tells me. I strap in beside her and see we're in out of space. And we're being shot at. I grip the seat tightly. "Calculations complete, but we need an opening" she tells the others over the com system.

"Found one" the man says and clears our path. We enter hyperspace. I look at the view in awe. It's beautiful.
