"I tread the path of light. Though it be paved with broken glass, I will walk it barefoot; though it cross rivers of fire, I will pass over them; though it wanders wide, the light of the force guides my steps."

How would they work alongside you, or would they be a liability? Remember: An NPC is weaker than a PC of an equivalent level, and will not match them in power, skills, or abilities. ]

Kriss has learned several things that few others within the order know and trained herself to be able to use it without falling to the darkside.

- Mental Strain: Serving in the blackguard she is constantly surrounded by the darkside, ancient holocrons and knowledge that seeks to dominate and corrupt her any time she drops her mental shields.
- Blackguard: Known by only a select few among the order, Kriss is seen as an enemy of the jedi order and largely considered one to apprehend on sight.
Born to the Altisian jedi and discovered when Corvus and Matsu came upon them. The children being a collection of force bloodlines that were continued and rescued throughout the centuries with careful marriages and progeny to produce the strongest force users that they would be able to find. Among them were Morrigan, Casca and Elizabeth as well as Tychus. Children of various jedi. Each of them was trained and meeting the young girl Kriss they saw first a talented jedi there could be no arguing it but she also had skills few others did. She knew how to adapt and mirror others... she might not know everything that she was doing but she could make it appear like she did. She was a great pretender and if the children of the jedi were going to rejoin the orders then there was always a risk and need for one with her skills.
That skill came in handy when Marsu and Sorel asked her for help, they needed to investigate a group and get access to their archives to try and gather information.... but attacking the planet and their fortress wouldn't work. It was needed to send someone in but it would be dangerous and so Kriss offered herself and her skills. Working for months in secret to learn how to disguise her communications, her techniques in the force and even her own thoughts from the deepest probes mentally of the force. She was given the tools needed and there was a plan in place to set her up. Kriss needed to fall to the darkside, she needed it to be public and she needed ot be able to take something of value that the blackguards would want. Ancient sith artifacts from the jedi vaults that had been raided by Velok were one of the dangerous ones.
She got a public fall, turning on her friends and master as she stole an artifact that had been treated with a blood trail from the vaults. Fleeing with it and then she was on her own, no jedi handlers... no friends and the rangers chasing after her across the galaxy until she was on Mustafar and the rangers were repelled by the blackguards. Taking the young girl in and the artifact they taught her, as far as they were aware, corrupted her and made her a follower of the darkside. Sending her to find knowledge both sith and jedi across the galaxy and bringing it back by any means. She would use what she had to make it so the jedi masters who knew what she was doing could find the location and stumble upon it eventually to discover dead drops and or what information they could have for the contents.
She would stay with them for nearly a decade among the blackguard feeding information and working to get herself in to learn as many secrets as she could. Including making what could be the closest thing to friends and remembering her main goal.. she was dedicated and the song of the force was an important thing among her family... the light was important and when anyone got to close and learned she would use a darkside technique, knowing the corruption of it could be like a poison. Rubbing the memories to change and alter if her cover was risked but she was able to get out several artifacts replacing them with replica's that on initial looks felt the same but wouldn't pass a close inspection. She continued to learn from them and faced the forbidden forms of saber combat. An ancient art used by only the most skilled like the ancient Tulak Horde.
Kirss eventually found out some news, several governments were gone from the galaxy. The sith were rising again closer to them and far from the Caldera. Exogal was being attacked and this was a chance in some cases to raid jedi vaults that were unattended, sith temples and search for troves of knowledge. Kriss worked with a small group and they infiltrated the cladera going towards the worlds and dividing themselves among the planets. She made contact with the jedi masters and was able to learn but the high plane and what became of the silver jedi and the children of the jedi. Her friends and family were safe and in a place few others could meet. She was being given the chance to return home and the jedi set up explosives and what would appear as rioters.
She managed to make it look like she was in an explosion and attack as locals on the world sought to destroy the sith temple. All evidense in case she needed to return would appear as if she had been captured and taken somewhere after being hurt and likely left nearly dead. She returned to the high plane under the shroud of the lightside to mask her presence in case someone was searching for her in the force and her aura. She was promoted after her time to the rank of a jedi master and able to remain there in the high plane away from others, training and aiding the few who came and wanted to learn how to go deep undercover and survive in a darkside group without giving into the darkness. She was also able to share much of her knowledge she haad learned and train in how to handle some of the more manipulative darksiders.
