"I fear for the soul of the Jedi in this war. We were never meant to be soldiers, and I feel that it's my duty to uphold our principles in the face of those who seek to destroy them.
I feel the answer to our problems can't come at the tip of a blade. It has to come from love."[/fancybox4]
PERSONALITY
[fancybox4="https://i.imgur.com/itSZi0P.jpg"]If there were ever a Jedi who strove to uphold the spirit of the Jedi Code in all things they did, it would be Deashe Devoter. A staunch proponent of peace and passivity even during the current war with the Sith, it is rare to see her with her lightsaber out, only bringing it out if she is training, needs it for a purpose other than combat (such as using it to illuminate dark areas), or if she is left with no other option.Dea is a bastion of calm even among the Jedi, unflappable in nearly all stressful situations and with complete trust in the Living Force to help her. Her unwavering compassion and her belief in the goodness residing in all beings, even Sith, means that she is unwilling to use even simple Mind Tricks to manipulate others, feeling that altering a person's mind is unbecoming of a Jedi-- not to mention potentially traumatic for the recipient. She was also incredibly disappointed upon learning of former Jedi Lord Vosrik's stripping of the Force from then-Darth Solum, and unlike most, if not all Jedi, felt very sympathetic toward the Dark Lord of the Sith.
Dea enjoys the subject of history and likes to spend her time in the Jedi Archives when she isn't out and about. But if there are failings she has, it is that her staunch pacifism simply does not jive well with the current state of the Galaxy, and as a result her inability to act in the face of what she sees as the decay of the moral center of the Jedi leaves her somewhat helpless to really try to do anything about it. She also has an odd, for a Jedi, inclination towards wearing beautiful clothes when she can; she knows she is beautiful and enjoys enhancing that beauty, savoring the feeling of having eyes on her-- from males and females both.

BIOGRAPHY
[fancybox4="https://i.imgur.com/PbYWrBw.jpg"]Deashe Devoter was born on the Core World of Chandrila to wealthy parents, both of whom were interested in abstract subjects like philosophy and history, and their impacts on the Galaxy. She lived with them until the age of three, when she was given to the Jedi Order to be trained. Though her memories of her parents during this time are faint, Deashe nonetheless found herself following in their footsteps as she grew up, as she was drawn toward the more intellectual pursuits that a Jedi could take. At the age of twelve, Dea was apprenticed to Jedi Knight Lorvan Maldun, and spent much of her time traveling and documenting her experiences as she trained and learned. The majority of this time was, to Dea's relief, not particularly action-packed.As Dea matured, her beauty gave her something of a vanity streak, which was a cause for concern for her master. At times Dea almost seemed to let her looks and intelligence go to her head, though as she would reflect later, the most that came out of it was an increased awareness of herself and a love of expensive clothes. As Dea exited puberty and her hormones calmed and settled, and as Dea went from Padawan to Knight, she found herself calming as well, maturing into the compassionate, unflappable woman she is now.
The resurgence of the Sith, however, changed everything; not simply for Dea, but for the Jedi as a whole. People whom she cared about were rushing off to war. A Jedi Army was formed with a Jedi Lord at its head. And while she knew the Sith needed to be confronted, Dea couldn't bring herself to join the war effort; to do so went against everything she had been taught and believed in, in her opinion anyway.
And so, unsure of what to do, Dea decided the best way to determine her course would be to begin traveling once more. Returning to her homeworld of Chandrila, Dea reunited with her parents for the first time in two decades and spent some time with them before heading off with their occasional financial support. Most of this time was spent in the unaligned areas of the Galaxy, solving problems and bringing peace to planets and their inhabitants, though she did take time for herself every now and then. Eventually, Dea decided that it was time to rejoin her peers, and has trusted in the Force to lead her back to them; hoping that, perhaps, she could aid the Jedi without succumbing to the darkness of war.[/fancybox4]
SKILLS AND APPEARANCE
[fancybox4="https://i.imgur.com/pMpwgUN.png"]Dea boasts a deep connection to the Force, but her applications of it are, in the main, rather passive. She utilizes Force-assisted acrobatics when necessary, but for the most part keeps her feet on the ground. She is incredibly adept in the techniques of Tutaminis, even to the point of being able to generate Force Light from her hands. Dea is particularly skilled with healing wounds of herself and others, to the point of not even leaving scars, but such focus is incredibly taxing. Her telekinetic prowess is also above-average, to the point where she can suspend blaster fire in mid-air with effort.Though she does not use her lightsaber unless she has to, Dea specializes in the use of Form III, finding its focus on passive defense appealing. Her balance with this form is impeccable, capable of using it even while happening to wear heels. She knows the basics of Forms I through V, and occasionally uses some of their moves in combat, but this is rare.
Her travels and focus on academics have given her an understanding of multiple spoken and written languages, including Shyriiwook, Bocce, Bothese and Botha, Huttese, and a smattering of Mando'a. This, combined with her incredible patience and quick mind, makes her an excellent diplomat.
Standing almost six feet tall, with a slender, toned figure, Dea's fair skin, blonde hair, and light blue eyes lend her a beauty which she is quite aware of and fully intends to keep.
