MAFALDA SAVERI
To the Jedi
I know that during these tremulous times the last thing you need is another child to look after. I had no choice. The beautiful child before you is six years old. I killed this child’s mother before her very own eyes.
This message, and this child for that matter, originated from Kiffu, a planet in the Inner Rims. I don’t know if you are familiar with Kiffu, but know this, an outcast clan (Our evil counterparts equivalent of your dark jedi) and my Clan are constantly embroiled in conflict.
This girl’s mother was one of the enemies' leaders. My clan attacked one of their strongholds, I managed to defeat and subdue this girl’s mother. I found her following the battle, but I was at a loss. I am unable to take care of this girl for personal reasons. But I also have no intention of letting her die in the wild, or let one of their other deranged witches find her.
This girl’s mother was extremely powerful in the force, knowing how to apply the dark and light side. I have no doubt that this child will also have inherited her abilities, if the other witches find her, they will no doubt train her to become an evil tool of destruction. This will only cause more strife.
Please, take her in. Train her to become a Jedi, train her to never fall under evil influences. When she is ready, she will hear Kiffu’s calling. She will come back when she is prepared.
Take care of this dear child, her name is Mafalda Saveri.

It has been 10 years since Mafalda was brought here. The child is no more, Mafalda has turned into a beautiful young woman at 16 years old. I still remember the day that haunting message accompanied her here. Mafalda has changed in these 10 years, her original disdain of males has turned into a personal form of good-hearted humour. Many of the younger males seem to be attracted to her, though from what I have observed they all receive the same telling off before hurrying off.
Her brash attitude has not changed, and neither has her general disregard for rules. Mafalda continues to refuses to wear Jedi attire, she makes her own clothes which resemble the clothing the natives of Kiffu adorn. In order to still partially follow the Jedi rules, she made her clothing from Jedi Robing. These tribal clothing are provocative, and often she is apprehended by some of the more ‘traditional’ Jedi. As well as the clothes, Mafalda still occasionally applies the dark definitive makeup of her mothers' clan, and powders her already pale skin. Perhaps she is trying to keep a hold on her heritage, or she simply has no love for jedi traditions.
Mafalda’s cynical and sometimes insensitive comments and behaviour makes some of her peers feel intimidated and uneasy, however, Mafalda has realised this shortcoming, and is trying to change. Once a person has become familiar with Mafalda however, Mafalda expresses a sense of overwhelming duty to protect and defend that person’s interests, at times ignoring or uncaring about the true nature of the incident. This is worrying, a Jedi must not allow their judgement to be blinded, though I am confident that with time and far more than a pinch of wisdom, Mafalda will not let this become a major issue.
Though Mafalda has not expressed any special talent for the use of a lightsaber, if she is willing to study and practice hard, she still has the ability to become a proficient user of the art. Mafalda has constructed her lightsaber, albeit with great difficulty, and seems to be undecided on her future lightsaber form. Compared to her lightsaber studies, Mafalda has shown great promise in the use and application of the force. The message I received 10 years old hadn’t lied about her force potential, her mother must have been a very powerful practitioner of the force.
However, at times, Mafalda’s interest in the force becomes questionable. Mafalda had expressed interest in some of the techniques of the dark side, in particular, she seems to have a special 'lust' for force lightning, she holds an undisguisable longing for the ability to use the wretched lightning. This may also come from her heritage, but this combined with Mafalda’s inability to control her emotions at times is a warning of the possible inner conflicts she will have to face.
I had made the decision to delay her formal training for 3 years in order to see how she would change, and I am pleased at the progress. I will now advocate her training, and will hope to see she joins our ranks in the near future.

The first 6 years of my life I cannot remember. For the next 14 years of my life with the Jedi I was rewarded for hard work. My reward came in the form of knowledge. After I was knighted, the next few years I spent with the Jedi was an utter disappointment. I had learned all that the Jedi offered, but I still yearned for more. Nevertheless, I found my naïve former self preventing myself from taking what was rightfully mine. My inner conscience had prevented me from reaching out to what the Jedi call ‘The dark side’, and I turned to other activities and tasks to take my mind off my thirst.
It was useless. Completing a mission filled my heart with no pride or sense of achievement. Training and taking Padawans under my wing wouldn’t have been a particularly appealing task even if I hadn’t been constantly engulfed by my needs. Yet, I still stayed ‘true’ to the Jedi. Not once did I turn to my darker emotions, and not once did I betray the Jedi way. How embarrassing, my past self. I know better now.
Knowledge is everything, and I finally found a path for me.
I don’t know how they found me, and the fact that it still remains a mystery is somewhat disconcerting. Nevertheless, I cannot give the Order enough thanks. The Pentacle Athame. Admittedly, I still find their recruiting methods surprising given the secrecy during the process. No names were given, no specific details. They had only told me one single thing.
“With us, you will learn.”
It was all I needed.
The Order, though it was astoundingly different to the Jedi, was not difficult to become used to. The dress code, the communication methods. Those were complementary details. The fact that I was learning was enough to overcome any difficulties. In fact, telepathic communication seems only natural. My true natural abilities have come active, including the Telepathic abilities granted by my heritage coming into place. The Pentacle Athame is my true home now, my past self is a memory.
A memoir.
