PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Thea is generally kind and compassionate with a sarcastic sense of humor. She is also independent and capable of fending for herself in tough situations. Thea will do everything in her power to protect those in need, even if it means placing herself in harm's way. Her belief is that the worth of people's souls are determined by the weight of their actions/inactions, and that those with the power have a duty to help those without. She is open about her thoughts and views, even if it means she stands alone in expressing them, demonstrating great courage and individuality.
Thea is also a bit sensitive because of her knowledge of what most think of her species. She is aware that most of the galaxy attributes the Dathomirian race to the infamous Nightsister clan, often viewing them as dark, treacherous, or dangerous. This misconception can make her feel judged before people even get to know her. Although she tries not to let others' opinions affect her, Thea will often get annoyed or even upset when compared to the Nightsisters, or if someone says all Dathomirians are evil with their example being the Nightsisters.
STRENGTHS
Form V: Thea practices the Shien version of Form V, which utilizes guarding against blaster fire and enemy strikes without compromising one's ability to launch powerful counterattacks.
Form IV: When it comes to combating a single enemy, Thea switches to Ataru. With this, she uses quick sweeping strikes with Force acrobatics to attack from unexpecting directions.
Piloting: Thea is a skilled enough pilot to be able to handle herself in aerial combat.
WEAKNESSES
Form IV requires open spaces to be utilized properly, thus being in narrow and confined areas will hinder her effectiveness.
Thea can lose her temper when someone makes remarks about her being an evil witch or her clan being just like the Nightsisters.
HISTORY
Thea was born on Dathomir, to the Frostfang Clan, who lived on and near the ice cap. Her clan seemed more isolated than others, living in the harsh, frozen wilderness where survival demanded strength and resilience. They practiced their own form of the Dathomiri magic adapted to the environment, particularly the cold winds, glaciers, and icy waters. Strangely enough, her clan believed in balance, understanding the need for darkness but also striving for harmony with their surroundings.
She was also an inquisitive child, asking seemingly endless questions of why their clan’s practices were different from the others. Her questions increased when she started showing Force-related abilities not attributed to her clan’s magic. Thea was told she was exhibiting talents often seen and sought out by the Jedi, and they may come one day for her. Sure enough, a Jedi ship landed near their settlement, and the individual spoke with Thea’s parents about taking her to the temple to be trained as a Jedi.
The Jedi took Thea to their temple and started her training to become a Jedi. During the lessons, she tried to befriend the other Younglings, but most didn’t want anything to do with her based on her species. Thea decided to just show them she was different by doing great on her lessons, but that just made some of the Younglings accuse her of using dark magic to cheat. Despite the annoyance, she tried her best to push past it and focused on doing her own thing as she progressed.
She was picked up by Master Elric Vypren to be his new Padawan. He was a rather patient and calm man that made sure she had everything she needed to succeed as a Jedi. Her training under him wasn’t always what one might expect, but there was always a lesson to be learned. Thea would be guided through difficult situations, not by being told what to do, but by being asked questions that made her reflect on her own intuition. She was never given the answer, but the chance to reach it on her own.
Master Elric's more hands-off approach had pushed her to rely on herself, and she flourished because of it. By the time her training neared completion, she had not only become a skilled Jedi but also developed a deep understanding of the Force and life itself. Thea could see how proud her master was when she completed her trials and became a Jedi Knight.
