Physical Description

Ciara stands taller than most human women, possessed of a lean musculature built more for agility than strength. Wild, midnight tresses rebel against the stillness of dark emerald eyes, tamed only by the weight of thick waves falling as far as the curve of her hips. Her eyes, flecked with gold, are set in bronze-toned skin above high cheek bones. Her lips are set in a near perpetual smirk.

But Does It Bring You Joy? (General Aspect)

If it wasn’t for Ciara’s insatiable thirst for knowledge that has led to her own personal trove of ancient tomes and artifacts, some might judge her a minimalist. Her almost singular pursuit of the Force has produced a precarious imbalance that she has attempted to mitigate by simplifying her outer world as much as possible. As a result, Ciara keeps very few personal effects and maintains an almost impossibly high standard of usefulness or luxury for purchases of any kind. Leave the rest for the peasants to squabble over.

Those Eyes, Though (General Aspect)

Those who Ciara does not immediately dismiss as inconsequential may find her attention unnerving if they are uncomfortable with prolonged eye contact. Her penchant for probing the minds of enemies and allies alike for valuable intelligence has led to a habit of engaging in that evaluation through the windows of the soul. Though not strictly necessary, Ciara seems to derive some amusement from the various reactions this practice can elicit.

Quid Est Veritas? (Personality Aspect)

Ciara’s high view of truth and purist view of knowledge as a natural sifter of the worthy from the unworthy has given her a particular hatred of those who would seek to conceal or ration it to delay its inevitable destruction of the weak. As a Sith, Ciara holds her views with a peculiar tension. Quite comfortable concealing information, distorting reality and deceiving the minds of her victims, Ciara prefers crushing her enemies with at least some measure of the truth. As a consequence, Ciara is actually a terrible liar without the aid of the Force.

Loyal To A Fault (Personality Aspect)

Despite a fierce independence and general disdain for most of humanity, Ciara has developed loyalties to a select few that challenge the stereotypical view of what it means to be a Sith, and may cause some to perceive it as a weakness to be exploited. Ciara’s own experience and study of the historical rise and fall of Sith Empires throughout the ages has led her to the opposite view. Chief among her current loyalties are the founding members of the Mystics of the Black Arts and those she perceives true to the now exiled Clan Tarentum.

The Art Of The Duel (Combat Aspect)

Ciara has developed her skill in the art of a duel on par and in concert with her powers of illusion and mind-trickery – using the one to inform, sharpen and make way for the other. Ranged or even blunt weapons hold little appeal and would prove ineffective in her hands, for Ciara has always preferred the poetry of a lightsaber blade or the intimacy of steel against flesh. Opponents will find her initially cold, calculating demeanor significantly warmed by first blood – something which seems to awaken her darker passions.

There Is No Spoon (Combat Aspect)

To engage in combat with Ciara is to enter the battlefield of the mind and risk a break with reality. The Krath-adherent has spent years strategically honing her natural gifts with the mind-altering powers of the Force, and she has learned to combine them to force all but the strongest wills to play her game - in whatever sadistic reality she creates. Her singular focus has, however, left her less equipped with more physically offensive or even defensive Force powers, leaving her vulnerable to those with the resolve to withstand her tricks.
