▵Biography
Sakadi Marathi Sinvala was used to having a bright future ahead of her. She used to be a famous opera singer, a true child prodigy. Her entire childhood had revolved around singing for large audiences, which kept increasing in size. If she wasn't performing, her parents made sure that she spent her time practicing. Sakadi simply went along with it, as she knew that it made her parents happy. And as long as her parents were happy, they gave her the attention she longed for.
The wealth obtained by her family through her talents had not gone unnoticed to the young girl. It became especially apparent to her when her parents could afford to buy a small villa on Serenno. With it came a certain stature and a new set of etiquette and rules to learn for Sakadi. While it wasn't hard to adapt for her, another part of her freedom had been taken away from her. Her fame made sure that she couldn't leave the house and her parents made sure that she barely had time left for herself. As she grew up, she started to feel imprisoned by her own talents. Her talents had created this 'perfect' prison, one she could never hope to escape from.
But through a cruel twist of fate, she escaped from her prison. One day, just after she finished her performance, Sakadi walked straight into a rather violent heist. The 20-year old woman got caught in the crossfire between her bodyguards and the criminals. She got hit in her neck, a shot that should have almost certainly been fatal. Her parents, who used her as their main source of income, could not let her die. They spent nearly their entire fortune on surgeries, kolto and rehabilitation for Sakadi. The doctors managed to save her, but her vocal cords were permanently damaged. Sakadi could no longer talk let alone sing. This meant that, in the eyes of her parents, she had lost her worth.
The cost of her miraculous survival had put her and her family back at square one. Except that she was useless now, as her entire life had revolved around the one thing she no longer could perform. Having lost the love of her parents, Sakadi felt that it was best for her to leave. Her parents didn't try to stop her, as the being they perceived as their daughter had died a year ago, together with their fortune.
Thus began the journey of the mute, almost aristocratic young woman. She traveled from planet to planet, for almost two years long, looking for a place to call home. She learned many new skills and proved to be a quick learner. But after two years, Sakadi had no credits left to spend. A month passed, one of extreme hardship. Eventually, a stranger found the emaciated young woman. The stranger claimed that she had abilities beyond those of normal men. She had an affinity for something he called 'the Force'. The stranger invited her to join an organization and learn to wield said power. Viewing it as her only chance for survival, Sakadi accepted the stranger's invitation.
Twelve years of training passed. Sakadi, who was used to harsh and long days of practice, quickly excelled in her training. After two years, Sakadi reached the rank of padawan, focusing on deepening her connection to the force over her lightsaber techniques. After two years of basic training, Sakadi finally got a bit more involved with the Galactic Alliance. She went on various missions, eventually obtaining the rank of Jedi Knight.
▵Personality and traits
Because most of Sakadi's early life was focused on her talent as a singer, she barely had a childhood. This is reflected in her personality, as she still has some childish traits. This is largely kept in check by the etiquette she had to learn, formalities she still tries to uphold to this very day.
It's these exact principles she learned during her youth, that makes her unapproachable at first glance. Being a mute doesn't help either. The loss of her voice bothers her less than might be expected of her, as she had almost nobody to talk to during her isolated youth. The loss of her voice however, makes it very hard for her to communicate with others. Therefore she is, in a sense, still isolated from society.
One of the many ways she uses to overcome her lack of a voice, is telepathy, a force technique she excels at, even as a padawan. However, Sakadi finds it quite rude to invade another person's mind and will only do so when she has the permission of the person she tries to communicate with.
Contrary to popular belief, Sakadi is far from dumb or stupid. She is more than just a pretty face with manners. Sakadi is quite intelligent. She's a quick thinker, often with an iron will and a willingness to learn new things. She is steadfast in her opinions, which rarely go without substantiation. It's just that her social akwardness and lack of speech form a hard obstacle for her to overcome.
Her quick wit, creativity and intelligence are most apparent in combat. She is a true tactician though and through, as she's able to adapt to her opponent's plans in the middle of combat. Sakadi goes by the belief that when a Jedi has to draw his lightsaber he has already lost. Therefore, Sakadi may be seen throwing the Jedi principles out of the window during combat, falling back on a far more cold, reckless and ruthless approach. There is however, one thing she will never do. She will never kill a sentient living being.
Sakadi joined the Jedi Order because, at the time, she had no where else to go. Despite being part of the order, Sakadi does not affiliate herself with the Galactic Alliance. She still sees the Galactic Alliance as "a bunch of terrorists", but her own beliefs don't align with the beliefs of the empire or the mandolorians either. She is content with training to become a Jedi knight, and help the lost souls in the galaxy back to the light. She believes that, with the second chance at life she has been given, she should try to do as much good as possible for the galaxy.
But these ideals have brought her in more conflict than she would've liked. Sakadi quickly learned that if she chose to fight, if she chose to ignite her lightsaber, people could die. This made her very hesistant to enter combat at first, fearing the possibility that through her choices, lives could be taken. It forced her to walk the path of the pacifist, something she discovered to be harder than she initially thought.
▵Powers and abilities
In order to overcome her lack of speech, Sakadi has focused mainly focused her training until now on telepathy and more subtle uses of the Force. This quickly became her forte, as she focused her training on the powers of the mind and the healing properties of the force. Her understanding of the telepathic force abilities is high enough to keep up a conversation mid-battle. She has also shown on multiple occasions to have some mastery of psychometry and force enhancement. While it may not be her primary focus, Sakadi is no pushover with energy manipulation either, as she was able to utilize telekinesis to great effect.
Sakadi has, since her youth, always practiced singing, which has made her masterful in quickly learning proper techniques. The speed at which she is able to learn and understand new things is almost scary. Once something new is presented to her, she can quickly become proficient with it. Despite having this trait, she rarely puts it to use, as there is no longer anyone forcing her to focus her complete attention on acquiring said technique or skill.
Having been forced to perform for large audiences made Sakadi very capable at acting under pressure, with social interaction being the exception. She used to be quite capable of speaking before large crowds, but that was before she became mute.
Sakadi has grown much as a warrior since her promotion to Knight. Not only has she gained more experience, but her muscle memory and mastery of different techniques make her difficult to deal with, both in armed and unarmed combat. While both her stamina and strength have increased, she still prefers to rely on being faster and more agile than her opponents. Despite her combat prowess however, Sakadi still prefers to stay out of war or combat scenarios as much as possible.
▵Equipment
Sakadi's lightsaber has a very basic and smooth design, with the only notable detail being the powercell attached to the hilt. She is attached to the rather minimalistic design, and is proud to have found the kyber crystal necessary to power her blade. The crystal has a deep blue color, reflecting her wish to use her second chance on life to protect the galaxy. That is, on a galaxy-wide scale. Sakadi loves the civilized world, but when it comes to individual people, she often finds herself repelled. This is reflected in her kyber crystal, as it's energy feels cold to those who can sense it.
