• Skills: Varessa is trained in a wide variety of Force Powers. Any skills she may have had in life are irrelevant.
• Personality: Kind, warm, caring. Varessa often behaves as a motherly figure to all around her, a trait that so captured her husbands interest in her upon their first meeting. She does not desire combat, yet will not shy from a fight when all other options have been exhausted. Always seeking a diplomatic solution, Varessa cares for all life, and uses her meager influence to sway others to join her in the path of pacifism.

COMBAT INFORMATION

• Weapon of Choice: The Force
• Combat Function: Varessa has limited sway in the Force. Bound to her Chosen, she is able to mimic any abilities he/she uses, Either to strengthen the effect, or to mirror it. For example, a Chain of Force Lightning would be bolstered to a stronger degree, whereas a Force Push might fire twice, a second smaller burst following the first. She is incapable (or unwilling) to engage in Force Combat when not guided by her host.

Strengths:

• Voice of Reason: Though she may not be as eager to combat as others, she is always willing to lend a voice of reason.
• Combat Augmenter: Varessa is able, when bound to her chosen, to augment his/her Force abilities in combat.
• Visionary: Varessa is trained in the art of Force Sight, and can be granted visions of the future. But the future is always in motion...

Weaknesses:

• Use as Directed: Varessa is unable (or unwilling) to lash out at other beings, unless directed by her host.
• Echo: Varessa's command of the Force behaves as an echo of her host's ability. She will always be weaker than her host, her individual powers only holding a fraction of the strength.
• Clouded Vision: Varessa's visions are mere suggestions of what may come to pass, never total revelations of what WILL come to pass.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Varessa was born to simple farmer parents on Alderaan, and was sent to live among the Jedi, as was tradition, when she was discovered to be Force Sensitive. She lived the life of a scholar, eventually traveling to Alpheridies upon her ascension to Knight to assist the Luka Sene in the creation of a new wing of their archives. It was here that she met the man that many felt was destined to be her husband, and she began to follow him out on missions, quickly becoming adept in combat suited to augment the young man's own style.

Her path diverged from the light when the two wed in secret, and later when she wiped her husband's memory to protect him from those who might seek retribution for the death and destruction he inadvertently caused on his homeworld. Varessa left the Jedi and Luka Sene behind, vowing to never take another partner, instead keeping a watchful eye over her husband, even if he did not remember her. When he was stolen away by the Sith Empire, Varessa retired to the dark reaches of the galaxy, living out her life as a hermit until she died of old age. Through Sith Magic, her husband was unable to reunite with her in the afterlife, eventually being brought back to the land of the living. Varessa continues to watch over her husband to this day, if only as a mere spectre in the Force.
