| On the surface she is sarcastic and often times biting, keeping most people at arms length unless required to work with them. She has been noted to be a team player at times but under varying circumstances, generally if the people she must work with are likeable or appealing in some way or manner. Though serious and likely to be annoyed if anyone gets on her bad side, she can be very welcoming to those who she allows into her inner circle. If you are someone she distastes or heavily dislikes, she might either attempt to kill you or engage in verbal warfare, with the latter being a much more likely option. Typically she keeps her own council and most, if not all, thoughts and opinions to herself, though there are exceptions to every rule, and she does have a small inner circle. Shikyo

You know her haunts, the places she hangs out on a general basis, her habits, the works? If you said yes to any of those things, think again and keep reading. Yes, she does hang out wherever holocrons and stores of knowledge can be found, and yes, she does actively seek out the newest political intrigues--but why? Always one for gaining new information, she does make it a point to be seen at least once searching through the archives, and the more often the better. To sate her political thirst, she also makes it a point to be seen near her Master, Shikyo Keibatsu, who as a member of the Dark Council is privy to the sort of news she is always looking for. A hacker of exceptional skill and a Krath who is well-versed in the art of battle, she devotes a lot of her time to learning every subject known and unknown to the galaxy, including old and unused, often called 'arcane', styles of fighting. |

Unwilling to put up with any suggestion of backstabbing behavior or unnecessary stupidity, she openly speaks her mind in most situations and tries to surround herself with those she views as intelligent and capable of acting with common sense. For those she judges worthy, she will risk her life--but not if it results or is caused by any stupid situations.

| | You've seen her in those contemplative moods, right? The ones where she looks at you with those vivid eyes full of some intense, hidden emotions and says nothing, sometimes for hours or even weeks? Or in those moments when she is deep in the explosive currents of rage and seems able to destroy anything in arms reach? When she becomes the predator and is not, for once, the prey of the universe? No one knows why these occur, why she is susceptible to them, or what can break her out of them. When she finally comes back to herself it seems to be completely random, and most often times it is when she is alone and by herself that she snaps out of it. Her episodes are rare and, generally, events that she tries to keep to herself and not make public--though it is written here, details are not explained. For that reason she is more secretive than she has to be. |

| Depending on her view of you, Syntari will either attempt to kill you on spot or treat you with neutral politeness. To those she considers her friends and confidants, however, her attitude is completely different; she is openly talkative and will risk her life for those few individuals. She respects only a small handful of people, among those an influential member of the Keibatsu family, Shikyo Sasuke Keibatsu, the Quaester of House Taldryan, Shaz'air Taldrya, and a former member of Clan Naga Sadow, Cyril Nighthunter (who is presumed dead). Unfailingly loyal and with a very high contempt with stupid people, Syntari will not stand for incompetence or overall failure, especially on her part; in others, she sees failure in their eyes as the ultimate shame. Despite typical stereotypes for her species she does not fall much to Sith tendencies, preferring instead the intelligent path of the Krath, though at times she does tend to slip into the role of an Obelisk; for the most part, however, Syntari is an intellectual and much prefers to study ancient lore then to pick up her lightsabre, but when she does she proves her skill in that area. She chose Kyataru as her main field of study, even adopting some of their terms and, notably, her use of a katana, modified with beskar, as her main weapon. For the most part she is solitary, preferring the company of only one or two others to that of a large crowd, even that of the ones she terms as "friends". Of a secretive nature, Syntari is sometimes prone to violent rages or long periods of absolute silence, the reasons for which are unknown, and so far no one has managed to break her out of the latter mood with much success; it depends on her own whim, it seems, to return to normal. Usually she is serious and keeps her own council, though it seems she has taken her Master into her trust and will speak the most openly when in his company.

| When on the field of battle, however, she is entirely different. Even to those she sees as enemies she is not as hostile as others, preferring instead to goad her opponents with taunts or jibes to various ends. To her close friends she will still not hesitate to cause damage or to even kill, if circumstances allow it, as she would expect and even demand the same from them. In the case of confidants, and especially to those she respects very highly, she is very polite and refrains from making fun of them or otherwise humiliating them, though again she will not hesitate to maim or kill her opponents no matter who they are. She shows little to no mercy, though she is not reckless in the way she fights; she is cool, calm, and collected, and rarely ever rushes headlong into battle. | | When on the field of battle, however, she is entirely different.

Now You Know Her...
So you know her, right? You've seen her around, this Umbaran and Bpfasshi mutt with the bright green eyes and the grin that at first glance seems biting? You know her haunts, the places she hangs out on a general basis, her habits, the works? If you said yes to any of those things, think again and keep reading.

Character Info
History
Syntari was born on the Bpfassh to a Bpfasshi father and a Umbaran mother in near poverty. Not much is known about her early life, except that she became very good friends with soon-to-be Brotherhood member Cyril Nighthunter later in their respective careers. At the age of 13 she left her home planet and spent the next five years amassing an unusually large amount of credits through her chosen occupation as a hacker and bounty hunter. Those credits she used to acquire the parts with which she modified her starfighter, the Scimitar. Most of her life she spent without any awareness of her Force abilities, though in the words of her former best friend Cyril Nighthunter, "the girl has a gift. The Force isn't just present in her, it very nearly screams."
Syntari keeps her past relatively hidden, mostly out of the opinion that it isn't all that important, though at times her moods of violent rage and unnerving silence hint at harsh incidents in her youth. All those be warned, however, who would cause harm to those she considers friends and allies.
Brotherhood History
Not much is known about why she came to the Brotherhood or how she even came to know of it; for most of her life, Syntari claimed to not have knowledge of her Force capabilities. It is noted that Cyril Nighthunter maintained some contact with the Bpfasshi after her arrival in the Brotherhood, and perhaps that is where her knowledge comes from. Shortly before the Herald's mission in Socorro, he was approached by the newly-arrived Syntari and given an unusual "gift": the lightsabre of his former apprentice, Cyril Nighthunter, along with the news of her supposed death. Shortly after that Syntari was made a member of the Brotherhood and placed in Independent House Taldrayn with Shikyo Keibatsu as her Master, under whom she is currently studying and greatly respects.
Weapons
Her katana is a modified replica of the swords used millennia before the Battle of Yavin, with a blade made of beskar instead of durasteel. Despite having an armory sabre with which she is proficient, her katana is her main weapon of choice and, in her eyes, the more reliable of the two. If ever she has the choice she will fight with it and nothing else, as she views blasters as "poorly designed and impersonal machines", and even lightsabres aren't full extensions of the self.
