STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES She has had advanced hand to hand combat training. Her ambidexterity allows her to use either hand equally well. Her reflexes are also top notch, bordering on the supernatural. Her heightened reaction speed has lead to her being quite the proficient pilot as well
A lot of her has been damaged, following her experiments at Sith hands. Her mind has been irreversibly damaged, leading to quite crippling headaches, as well as occasionally distorted vision, loss of memory and other side effects. Her body has been heavily cybernetically altered, which is both a blessing and a curse. Part of her curse, is that she will never be able to bear children, which has lead to Safiriel developing quite a protective and nurturing side for her apprentices, and her attempts at training others. For a darksider, she's grown surprisingly compassionate. Or perhaps...reasonable? She prefers to abstain from unnecessary killings.
APPEARANCE:
Safiriel is a tall Echani, with pale skin, and snow white hair. She is an imposing figure at the best of times, tall, powerful, and with an animalistic attraction for most people. Her body is lean and toned, with subtle power, and an abundance of natural grace during her movements, which flow easily and quickly.
And the noticable marks include: A large scar in her chest, just to the left of her heart, and an entry scar on her back from where a sith blade pierced through it
BIOGRAPHY:
A simple woman by birth, Safiriel's early life is without much interest or excitement. She may recall a few summer jobs, evenings out with friends spent on the sunny shore of some beach world millions of parsecs away. But most of this is lost in the gaping hole left in her memory after her defeat and transformation at the hands of [member="Darth Ferus"] . She has lost much of what she once was, and what remains is little more than pale, cold, and passionless desire to kill, masked behind a pretty face.
Reeling from what she had become become, Safiriel wandered the for months, coming to grips with whom she was. During this time she fell in love with a girl, [member="Echo Kora"] and spent many months at her side, before returning to her duties in the Sith Empire. During a relaxing day with her lover and friends, she was approached by her lord, and promote to both the Rank of Knight, and given the task of safeguarding the royal family and the first apprentice. After several successful assassination, Safiriel traveled out into the voids of space, to Yavin 4 Where she began her search for the legendary armor of Exar Kun. With new knowledges in hand, she once again wandered, before stumbling across the home of the powerful sage [member="Alexandra Feanor"] . Leaving with a far better grip on her life, Safiriel returned to the seat of the Sith Empire, for fine tuning and practice with her bladework.
Sometime later she returned to Yavin IV, making the temple of Exar Kun into a sort of home, and training center, where young acolytes and apprentices could come to learn from her, no matter their lords or alignments. It was during this time she met [member="Ember Rekali"] and [member="Briga Tiin"] one a fabeled and powerful Witchmaster, the other a young priestess taking her first steps in the force. One sought to know of her intents, the other sought the knowledges Safiriel possessed as a teacher. Inspired by her successes teaching, Safiriel proposed the construction of an Academy for force sensitives, where she might further aid young Jedi and Sith in developing their powers.
During her time on Yavin IV, she and her.....ally, [member="Darth Erebos"] spent time in the Temple of Exar Kun, unlocking it's myriad secrets, as well as uncovering it's traps. The end result was more than profitable, with the sith lord's aid she had uncovered the armor of Exar Kun, a powerful symbol that she now wore as her own.
Her premises fell into abandon as the Emperor was deposed, and Safiriel drew away from politics. Taking this time to close her bond and marry her lover, she withdrew from the turmoil of the galaxy as a whole for quite some time. Recently returning with an inner clarity, she has regained some of her previous harsh steel, but tempered by the love affection and kindness of her wife.
Seeking to distance herself from her past somewhat, Safiriel began to search out like minded explorers. Finding a group consisting of several bright minds she set out to discover what secrets lay hidden in the galaxy.
Then one day, she found her wife had left her a note. A very final one, one she could not cope with. She had lost the one thing she loved in this universe, and sunk into a depressive rage for several weeks, before achieving a new level of inner clarity, purity of spirit, as well as of body. Truly, she had shed off the last trapping of the person she was before.
She had come from being a broken girl, reforged into a weapon of war, turned into a blushing bride, only to have her loved ripped away from her. Now she seeks purpose in creation, teaching the next generations the lesson the ancients had had to learn the hard way.
On Dathomir, she sought out the first person whose call had echoed to her, the first step on her path, [member="Mara Sedaya"] She took in the girl and began to train her, though through this she learned a great many things more than she thought, mostly her own inclinations to do good rather than harm to others.
Life is truly not perfect but, rather than dwell on it's misery Safiriel attempts to make the best of what has happened to her. She is not exactly...hedonistic, per say, but her tendence is occasionally more toward the self rewarding than it should be. She places a high value on her own appearance, always attempting to appear practical yet elegant, a look she somewhat managed to pull off.
After a variety of travels across the Galaxy, Safiriel has finally settled down once again on Denon, making herself a new home on the densely populated world, occasionally with an apprentice or two in two, also in order to main close contact with her friends.
