Appearance: Kiani is a young human woman who has deep brownish-blue eyes in almond-shaped sockets sitting beneath arched, slender brows and chocolate coloured hair. As a juvenile Kiani's face was marked with faint freckles which as an adult have faded and been subsumed into a uniform fair complexion on a sharp oval-shaped face. Her brunette hair is parted in an offset slightly to the left its' growth carefully controlled with a disciplined hand kept short approximately jaw-length with two neat braids hanging among the strands which identify the young woman as a Padawan rather than a fully fledged Jedi Knight at a glance. Kiani had always been more lithe and thin than many of the other Padawans and Initiates she has come into contact with even as an adult this trend remains although she believes it an advantageous asset as it permits Kiani to squeeze into narrow and confined spaces comfortably, despite an ostensibly small size Kiani is deceptively powerful with a physique defined by its' tawny contours comparable to an extremely athletic adult woman.
Hailing for a line of men and woman who stood proud and tall Kiani's height is slightly above-average for a woman of her species at 173 Centimeters tall or approximately five-feet and eight inches tall. When in a field environment performing her order-appointed duties Kiani usually wears the beige and white robes of a Padawan in addition to pieces of strong albeit flexible form-fitting white polymer armour for additional protection against environmental hazards and armed individuals who might go on the attack against a Jedi. Though Kiani appears outwardly Human and indeed identifies herself as such a detailed study of the woman's genome reveals it is a sort of hybridised chimera with significant amounts of Human DNA joined by sequences that historically belong to the red-skinned species of the Sith Purebloods and mysteriously enigmatic virtually mythical Mind-Witches. The sequences' origins are typically difficult to identify for modern droids as a result of limited and often nonexistent data.
As of 858 ABY, Kiani is barely twenty-one years old and her youthful complexion and absence of battle-hardening leaves many adults who interact with the young Padawan not exactly filled with confidence in the young woman's abilities despite a strong and powerful connection to the force.

Strengths:
- Ataru Form - The highly acrobatic form of Ataru is the preferred offensive lightsaber form employed by Kiani and its' effectiveness is enhanced by her application of Jar'kai and the carrying of two blades.
- Soresu Form - Form III sacrifices offensive power for protection and it appeals to Kiani for its' underlying defensive philosophy.
- Truesight - Kiani has inherited many of the racial traits and capability of the Mind-witch near-Human species which allows her to probe the minds of other beings and examine their true thoughts and desires, this ability also allows Kiani to create pleasant or unpleasant hallucinations for the target of the ability.
- Altruistic Compassion - While altriusm and compassion are viewed by most cultures as benevolent an opportunistic enemy could use these character traits and turn them into an exploitable flaw and manipulate Kiani appropriately.
- Fear - Kiani isn't going to remain disciplined and stoic when a lightsabre or blaster is hovering threateningly in front of her face, the primal underlying fear of death when appropriately fed can disrupt the woman's connection to the light side of the force and potentially coerce her to draw from those dark familial origins.
Biography: Kiani Daut was born in the year 837 ABY at the Sith Arts Academy into the prestigious and educated Daut family known within Thule's community for producing gifted Sith Scholars who historically published papers detailing findings relating to much of the Sith Order's forgotten and oft neglected history. Kiani as an infant and very young child lived happily wandering through the halls of the Sith Temple dutifully following in the footsteps behind her Father Moranos Daut who in his own right is was an accomplished Sith Lord anointed with the lofty title by Sith Arts Academy for his contributions towards the study and preservation of ancient Sith archaeology and culturally significant works.
At the age of four Kiani was taken into "protective custody" and kidnapped unconscious from Lord Moranos' manor by a mysterious Jedi Knight who unknown to the young girl was none other than Daspien Turlo, a redeemed sith and once Lord Moranos' apprentice. Daspien had seen into the future while meditating that Galin Darksong might one day come to use an adolescent Kiani as a vessel for her dark spirit possessing his niece in some kind of profane and abhorrent Sith ritual. As a Jedi Daspien believed it was his duty to protect the innocent from the predations of the dark side and privately felt compelled as Kiani's next-of-kin to save her from such a horrible fate.
Daspien brought Kiani into the Republic as a refugee and was interviewed by members of the Galactic Republic's Jedi Order for the purposes of assessing her alleged force sensitivity. Among the Masters who examined Kiani during the interview was the Human man Janix Kolt who was bemused by the young girl's inquisitive mind and asked of the assembled masters questions in what little basic she could speak as a Juvenile but more admirably while visibly frightened by the unfamiliar environment and faces Kiani remained steadfast and for the most part surprisingly composed. Despite this a majority of those masters present dismissed Daspien's attempts to have Kiani taken in by the order claiming there was excessive conflict and a lingering darkness within the girl.
As a Master with their own apprentice Daspien couldn't take on Kiani as his own apprentice and nor did he want to given their mutual connection with Kiani's father believing it would cloud both their judgement and potentially be the foundation for a temptation towards the Dark side derived from. Janix Kolt knowing what Daspien had told them about her parentage was concerned that if the Jedi Order did not train Kiani Daut as a child the Sith Order and Lord Moranos some day in the future would and turn the girl into a servant of the Dark Side. That future and risk thereof was something Janix could not permit to arrive without making efforts to first prevent it. Master Kolt firmly declared that he would train Kiani in the ways of the force, the other Masters reluctantly agreed with Daspien supporting the appointment based on Janix's patience and moderation.
Personality & Characteristics:
A noble and righteous young woman of strong convictions and deep faith in the force Kiani possesses a strong sense of morality and ethics which has been influenced by the code of the jedi order. Kiani, in a showing of quiet vanity or pride believes herself to be fair, firm and just although she might not be as firm and stalwart as she'd like to believe. Eager to prove herself in the eyes of more senior knights and masters its' not unheard of for Kiani to engage in impulsive behavior although she seldom has anything other than good and benevolent intentions, this impulsive streak is exacerbated and most commonly seen when she is confronted with a moral and ethical transgression. Kiani balances her impulsivity and zeal with a thoughtfulness and wisdom which is often cited as being beyond her meager years, analytical Kiani can avoid, escape or defuse dangerous situations before and even after they occur she strongly dislikes employing violence as a jedi and will only draw her lightsaber in the defence of her own life and limb or that of another's.
There are many citizens of the Galaxy who romanticize the jedi order and Kiani disdains their doting affection made uncomfortable by affection that she believes isn't necessarily deserved due to their storied history which isn't without its' fair share of soiled pages which brings a level of shame and serves as an omnipresent reminder for the young Kiani that the darkness the Jedi fight against their individual darkness. As of her twenty-first birthday in the year 858 ABY Kiani has developed into a highly competent field operative and jedi in her own right, her lightsaber, combat and stealth prowess have grown to be comparable with her own father the sith lord Moranos. Kiani is capable of venturing out into the unknown universe alone and can discretely infiltrate locations that might otherwise be hostile to her presence and easily defeat most non-force user opponents in melee combat. The force powers and lightsaber techniques Kiani has developed serve to augment her natural and racial abilities.
Kiani is a skilled swordsman, wielding her two purple-bladed lightsabers with deft efficiency and unusually proficient in marksmanship for a Jedi who are uncommonly seen eschewing their distinct lightsabers for more practical weaponry. Kiani herself is known to favour bolt-throwers and crossbows the former especially because of their quietness when compared to lightsabers or blasters and astonishing penetrating power. When combining all of her skills, training and racial abilities Kiani becomes a force to be reckoned with in combat capable of dispatching multiple hostiles consecutively. Believing that athleticism and physical discipline is important to the continued development of any jedi, Kiani has spent years training and improving her fitness which has given her the confidence and requisite power to freerun and traverse obstacles and dense urban environments with brisk speed. Relying on her physical traits and the force, Kiani can rapidly scale tall structures whether they are of modern or ancient construction and swim long distances when in an aquatic environment.
