A towering pillar of stalwart strength, Saaveina stands out of any crowd, much less one composed of her contemporaries. A rare sight are those of her people and even more so in positions of prestige and some semblance of honor- when most Codru-Ji earned their names and reputations in slave trading and crime. Recruited only a year or so after emerging from her chrysalis as an adult by the Jedi, Saaveina was honed into a weapon of "justice" and put to work. As part of a number of campaigns, she was able to find her rhythm and calling in the midst of combat where she could use her sheer strength and deceptive precision to safeguard and defend her allies.
Mastery with one hand quickly blossomed into mastery with the others and it was not but a half-decade after growing skillful with her saber technique that she was able to add another into the mix, and another, and another soon after. She became something of a mythical figure amongst the Darksiders of the galaxy, those wicked that she hunted- The Queen of Swords; named for her ability to successfully wield four lightsabers at once, allowing for nearly unmatched dexterity in melee combat. It was rumored at the height of her conquest that she could duel three others in tandem and still emerge victorious with minimal injuries.
The more blood she spilled in the name of "justice" however, the more penitent she became towards the concept entirely. What was justice if not blind and objective? Why were those Masters seated above her not held accountable for the same "crimes" the Sith Lords she slew were. Hypocrisy was the only answer. Where those around her rank and file fell into blindness, she chose sight, and in turn, gracefully took her leave from the Jedi Order.
Working to further her ideals and mission for equilibrium, the Errant-Knight found herself allied with a number of factions and collectives throughout the years.
None have stuck with her better than the New Imperial Order, where she was able to find trust in
Rurik Fel
as a leader, and strength amongst new brothers and sisters who shared a mind similar. PHYSIQUE
Standing much taller than most human or near-human females, Saaveina is imposing by nature- a fact that is emphasized by the sheer intensity of her aura and energy. Her height is complemented by the mass she's built over her years as a dedicated warrior and she fills her frame out with sculpted, brag-worthy musculature. Her features are often hard, but neutral, tricky to read and infer her thoughts from, making the level of innate threat she possesses only higher. Her eyes are typically warm, contrasting this, however.
Dark, rich skin accented by golden tattoos is hers, and it tells her tale well in the form of scar and mark from battles past. Her lengthy hair is kept braided or woven out of her way, pinned against her head to better allow her helmet security upon her head. However, when she is not to be within corps regulation, she allows her hair to do what it naturally wishes.
PERSONA
A quiet strength echoes from the Knight's frame, one bolstered only in how she chooses to pridefully carry herself. Mindful, reserved, and methodical is her mantra, and she adheres to it strictly when navigating through cultural customs and society. She addresses everyone with respect on her tongue, unless they have directly lost the right to it, and expects the same in turn. While outspoken and iron-willed, she's often laconic and thoughtful with the words she chooses to impart upon others.
She is merciful and forgiving to a point and absolutely punishing under other circumstances.
A guardian by nature, Saaveina will often rally to support and bolster her allies both in and out of combat, pushing them to achieve their best and dusting them off when they fall down.
FORTITUDE
- Strong - Physically domineering, she frequently uses her sheer strength to overpower foes and achieve victory.
- Thoughtful - Her actions and their consequences are weighed before she takes action.
- Caring - While she may be infamously unforgiving towards her foes, her allies will come to know her as a deeply nurturing woman with a bleeding heart.
- Dextrous - She's got four arms. Four!
- While her lower right hand is technically her dominant, she is equally able to match her skills across her other hands with enough practice and discipline.
- Guardian - The majority of her Force skillset revolves around shielding and healing herself and her comrades, and she is absolutely fearless under fire, able to safeguard herself and "tank" the brunt of hostile attention.
FALTER
- Judgemental - She may be kind beneath the surface and to those she cares for, but reaching that point is not an easy endeavor. The codru-ji is slow to make friends, struggling with harsh, silent criticisms initially that she and the one judged will have to overcome to establish a relationship.
- Defensive - More of a defensive fighter than an aggressive one, she may rely on her allies to deal executing blows on foes for her.
- Stubborn - Her sense of self and resolve has unfortunately created a monster in that she's stubborn to a fault at times, making her difficult to work with.
- Sacrificial - She's too willing at times to throw herself on the wire for others.
ARMAMENTS
- x2 Saberstaves - Nothing too fancy about her dual staves other than their appearance. Electrum plating forms the hilts and shields the switches, blooming up around the base of the blades into an almost flower-like guard. The mid-section grips are wrapped in neat, tended leather, allowing for maximum comfort and flexibility when wielding them separate or as a whole. The plasma of the blades themselves shines a deep violet color.
- Both of these dual-ended blades may be separated to create two smaller blades, bringing her total to four. While she does not wield all four at the same time often it would not be far-fetched for her to do so.
- Armor - Issued by her current faction, this heavy-duty armor serves to bolster her innate physical prowess and better safeguard from harm. Her chestplate, bodyglove, and sleeves have all been specially tailored to ensure the maximum comfort, mobility, and protection of her secondary pair of arms.
- She's had this armor specially customized with pearl white and metallic gold paints, pairing the color scheme with a black bodyglove and cloak to further complement and fortify her aesthetic.
- Shield - A compact, personal particle shield projected from a sensory array nestled in a heavy, durasteel frame. This shield is sizable, with its span reaching nearly five feet tall and three feet across when deployed, and able to deflect most physical projectiles its raised against. Due to its size and mechanics, however, it's notoriously heavy and requires two hands for the woman to carry, slowing her down and further reducing her offensive capability.
