'''Calindra Hejaran''' is a noble woman from one of Alderaan’s remote colony world of Tepasi II. She was born into the Alderaani nobility through the Hejaran family line. Unbeknown to her, however, Calindra's mother is a direct descendant of the Tipani noble house Mecetti whose bloodline had served countless of Sith lords over the millenia. Recruited by [[Scholae Palatinae]], she has served [[House Imperium]] since her indoctrination into the order until very recently, and served as a member of the judging panel for the [[Antei Combat Center]] and [[Antei Contract Bureau]].


'''Calindra Hejaran''' is a noble woman from one of Alderaan’s remote colony worlds, Tepasi II. An avid card player,  she is always ready for a game of Pazaak, and will purposely seek out tournaments to compete in.

Calindra’s face is often hidden behind a silk-woven scarf that is rolled over her head, forcing people to look directly into her dark brown eyes. Hints of golden locks, pale skin and delicate brow peek out from under the silk; the rest of her clothes are dark and brown, tight fitting, molding and caressing an athletic figure: dark leather boot trailing up an athletic leg, giving way to torn fishnet stockings that caress her thighs who are themselves cut off slightly before the knees by a dark billowing duster coat that hugs her lithe and petite frame.
Everything she has on her serves a distinct purpose and an observer can easily distinguish her weapons. Her blaster is plainly visible; as is an electronic device attached to her right wrist, but people are quick to note that the fingers of her right hand are delicately curled around an unlit lightsaber’s shaft.
Pushing back the dark scarf reveals her delicate and friendly face, full bodied lips, and slender neck; freeing by the same opportunity, her unruly golden tresses which are hastily tied together into a ponytail.
She is elegant, attractive, youthful, and she moves with a grace that is both mesmerizing and alluring.

===Early Life===
Born into the Alderaani nobility during the tumultuous years after Grand Moff Tarkin destroyed Alderaan, Calindra was raised to question and challenge authority. The constant reminder of their homeworld’s destruction had given all surviving Alderaani a deep mistrust of the concentration of power, especially when complete and undeterred power was being concentrated into one person's hands. According to most, the true evil was a cold and uncaring organization like the Empire that allowed figures like Tarkin, Vader, and Emperor Palpatine to amass massive amounts of power and were often cited as primary examples of people who had been corrupted by it.
As a consequence, Calindra has been taught from a very young age that “never again” could such power be held by one person; that people had to be ever vigilant as to not to allow too much power to be enmeshed with positions of authority. In fact, those with authority had a duty to the people they served and governed.
In contrast however, Calindra's mother was far more accepting of the accumulation of power. According to her, it was in fact a noble calling. After all, a wise ruler could make wise decisions and rule with their subjects' well-being in mind, but her father often counterargued that such a concentration of power should be limited with checks and balances that would eventually take such powers away. Her parents would often quibble over the New Republic's checks and balances against the concentration of power, which according to her mother, made the Republic infective as a decisional body. 
===Serving the Iron Throne===
Unknown to Calindra and most of the Hejaran family, her mother’s lineage can be traced directly to the Tipani noble house of Mecetti. A house that valued the concentration of power and whose relatives had served countless of Sith lords over the millenia.
Both the Hejaran and Mecetti lines are strong in the Force, which was why the Dark Council allowed the pairing of the two lines, despite House Hejaran's disappointing support for the Jedi order. It was secretly hoped that the Hejaran children would espouse more imperialistic values.
===Scholae Palatinae===
Recruited by [[Scholae Palatinae]], she has served mostly in [[House Imperium]] since her indoctrination into the Brotherhood until very recently. While in Imperium, Calindra founded [[Battleteam Pellaeon]], which was to become [[House Imperium]]’s primary intelligence unit. She later abandoned Imperium, and served [[House Excidium]] within [[Vindictae Immortalis]]. Her detractors claim that she had in fact defected and espoused a life of crime, but within a year the Clan's Grand Admiral met an untimely fate and Calindra was appointed Director of Imperial Intelligence.
When asked about the timing of [[Raiju Kang|Grand Admiral Kang's]] demise and her new appointment, Calindra stated that the events were simply a coincidence.
===Fall to Darkness===
On her adventures in [https://discourse.darkjedibrotherhood.com/t/csp-monstrosity-temple-of-the-forgotten/1047 The Temple of the Forgotten], Calindra unwittingly allowed an Ancient Force Spirit within her mind, helping it escape from the Temple's spirit prison, resulting in a power struggle over who could control the host body.
Those who know Calindra know that she usually prefers a Duelist's approach to combat, where a keen eye and attention to detail allow her to learn her opponent's idiosyncrasies in order to capitalize and exploit their weakness. Whenever this Spirit seizes the reins, however, Calindra suddenly prefers her left hand over her right, and her fighting style changes drastically into a series of aggressive movements that link into each other as if part of an intricate, whirling dervish dance.  When this happens, Calindra fails to recognize the people around her and loses sight of her mission parameters entirely. Instinctively, she will still know enemy from foe, but her sudden one-tracked mind often ment that she suddenly ignored mission parameters in favour of the Spirit's personal goals and agenda.
Once possessed, her speech patterns will shift, avoiding calling people by name while no longer responding to her own. Her vocabulary also grows more archaic, like calling a necklace a 'talisman' or modern glow-lights 'torches'.

Luckily, their father had accepted that the children be schooled in warfare and martial arts, as much as business management, galactic trade and planetary economy, which would see his children serve in leadership positions within any organization, but her mother constantly refused to let his daughter participate in boardroom discussions or ride with the hunting parties...

"Your mother and I think you're still a bit too young to go off on a hunt... I'm sorry," he had said and all her protest had been gently shot down.

Calindra Hejaran is a noble woman from one of Alderaan’s remote colony worlds, Tepasi II. An avid card player, she is always ready for a game of Pazaak, and will purposely seek out tournaments to compete in.


Physical Description

Calindra’s face is often hidden behind a silk-woven scarf that is rolled over her head, forcing people to look directly into her dark brown eyes. Hints of golden locks, pale skin and delicate brow peek out from under the silk; the rest of her clothes are dark and brown, tight fitting, molding and caressing an athletic figure: dark leather boot trailing up an athletic leg, giving way to torn fishnet stockings that caress her thighs who are themselves cut off slightly before the knees by a dark billowing duster coat that hugs her lithe and petite frame.

Everything she has on her serves a distinct purpose and an observer can easily distinguish her weapons. Her blaster is plainly visible; as is an electronic device attached to her right wrist, but people are quick to note that the fingers of her right hand are delicately curled around an unlit lightsaber’s shaft.

Pushing back the dark scarf reveals her delicate and friendly face, full bodied lips, and slender neck; freeing by the same opportunity, her unruly golden tresses which are hastily tied together into a ponytail.

She is elegant, attractive, youthful, and she moves with a grace that is both mesmerizing and alluring.

Character History

Early Life

Born into the Alderaani nobility during the tumultuous years after Grand Moff Tarkin destroyed Alderaan, Calindra was raised to question and challenge authority. The constant reminder of their homeworld’s destruction had given all surviving Alderaani a deep mistrust of the concentration of power, especially when complete and undeterred power was being concentrated into one person's hands. According to most, the true evil was a cold and uncaring organization like the Empire that allowed figures like Tarkin, Vader, and Emperor Palpatine to amass massive amounts of power and were often cited as primary examples of people who had been corrupted by it.

As a consequence, Calindra has been taught from a very young age that “never again” could such power be held by one person; that people had to be ever vigilant as to not to allow too much power to be enmeshed with positions of authority. In fact, those with authority had a duty to the people they served and governed.

In contrast however, Calindra's mother was far more accepting of the accumulation of power. According to her, it was in fact a noble calling. After all, a wise ruler could make wise decisions and rule with their subjects' well-being in mind, but her father often counterargued that such a concentration of power should be limited with checks and balances that would eventually take such powers away. Her parents would often quibble over the New Republic's checks and balances against the concentration of power, which according to her mother, made the Republic infective as a decisional body.


Serving the Iron Throne

Unknown to Calindra and most of the Hejaran family, her mother’s lineage can be traced directly to the Tipani noble house of Mecetti. A house that valued the concentration of power and whose relatives had served countless of Sith lords over the millenia.

Both the Hejaran and Mecetti lines are strong in the Force, which was why the Dark Council allowed the pairing of the two lines, despite House Hejaran's disappointing support for the Jedi order. It was secretly hoped that the Hejaran children would espouse more imperialistic values.


Scholae Palatinae

Recruited by Scholae Palatinae, she has served mostly in House Imperium since her indoctrination into the Brotherhood until very recently. While in Imperium, Calindra founded Battleteam Pellaeon, which was to become House Imperium’s primary intelligence unit. She later abandoned Imperium, and served House Excidium within Vindictae Immortalis. Her detractors claim that she had in fact defected and espoused a life of crime, but within a year the Clan's Grand Admiral met an untimely fate and Calindra was appointed Director of Imperial Intelligence.

When asked about the timing of Grand Admiral Kang's demise and her new appointment, Calindra stated that the events were simply a coincidence.


Fall to Darkness

On her adventures in The Temple of the Forgotten, Calindra unwittingly allowed an Ancient Force Spirit within her mind, helping it escape from the Temple's spirit prison, resulting in a power struggle over who could control the host body.

Those who know Calindra know that she usually prefers a Duelist's approach to combat, where a keen eye and attention to detail allow her to learn her opponent's idiosyncrasies in order to capitalize and exploit their weakness. Whenever this Spirit seizes the reins, however, Calindra suddenly prefers her left hand over her right, and her fighting style changes drastically into a series of aggressive movements that link into each other as if part of an intricate, whirling dervish dance. When this happens, Calindra fails to recognize the people around her and loses sight of her mission parameters entirely. Instinctively, she will still know enemy from foe, but her sudden one-tracked mind often ment that she suddenly ignored mission parameters in favour of the Spirit's personal goals and agenda.

Once possessed, her speech patterns will shift, avoiding calling people by name while no longer responding to her own. Her vocabulary also grows more archaic, like calling a necklace a 'talisman' or modern glow-lights 'torches'. When the Force Spirit relinquishes control, Calindra is often left without any recollection of actions that transpired, which often leads to confusion and doubt.


The Nightflyers

With Calindra's appointment as Director of Imperial Intelligence, the Force Spirit now had unprecendented access to CSP Intel.

It is now believed that this unrestricted access to Imperial Intelligence resulted in the compromise of hundreds (if not thousands) of imperial assets and Scholae's intelligence networks, and has lead to an unprecendented coup within CSP shortly after Empress Nighthunter's ascendance to the Imperial Throne, causing Calindra to abandon her position as Director of Intelligence in favour of strengthening her hold on her own criminal empire.
