Biography

Early Life

K'tana, like most Twi'leks in the Brotherhood, was born into a Twi’lek clan on Ryloth, a planet well known for its cultivation of of slaves. At a very young age she was sold into the services of a pleasure cruiser owned and operated by a Hutt of particular tastes, know by K’tana as ‘The Slug Mistress'. By the age of fourteen, K'tana had earned the title 'Slave Queen' due to her reputation as a loyal and fanatical servant to the Hutt.

K'tana adored this title, believed in the superiority and the emptiness that came with it. She murdered other slaves who seemed unworthy or disloyal to the Hutt, hoping to prove her worth and earn the distinguishing tattoos that the other slave abhorred. The Slug Mistress made sure that her favored Twi'lek would remain beautiful, not marred by the procedure and had the teenager tattooed with flattering marks of possession. Each new spot added to her long lekku was a symbol of her loyalty and the deference paid to her by the Slug.

At sixteen K'tana found out about a conspiracy involving a male Twi'lek slave and she chose to resolve the threat with coercion, manipulation and savage brutality. The young woman used her feminine wiles to lure the man responsible into the Hutt’s entertainment room. There, K’tana forced the man to confess and she violently murdered him before the eyes of her owner and the patrons of the ship.

Soon thereafter, the Twi’lek was found by her first Master. The Slug Mistress had deemed K'tana too dangerous to live and sentenced her to death for her volatile and unpredictable nature. Before a single shot was fired, her new Master came aboard the ship. He murdered nearly everyone on the vessel, blowing up the Hutt with a grenade before dragging K’tana, kicking and screaming, into Clan Arcona.


Master to Mistress to Protege


Inarya: "Why do you allow him to do this?"
K'tana: "I allow him to do as he must as my Master. Being a slave or an Apprentice means little when they're exactly the same. I'm nothing but property. He will do as he wishes."
―K'tana and Inarya talking in the med bay a few hours before the mysterious death of K'tana's first Master

The first Master, an Obelisk by the name of Jaek Kaeth, did very little to instil the young woman with anything other than the use of her body as a an object and a punching bag. His combat training involved giving her bruises, broken bones and further breaking her mind to his whim.

During this time, K’tana went from being a hollow and empty teen to a psychotic and chaotic murderess. Through her lessons, she grew into a fractured and insane sadomasochist who enjoys inflicting pain as much as receiving it.

A week before her promotion to Dark Jedi Knight, Jaek’s room mysteriously caught on fire, the blaze engulfing him as he slept and leaving behind little- aside from charred remains and ash.

During the rest of the week leading to her promotion, K’tana’s training was taken over by a Krath Priestess by the name of Inarya. The two Twi’lek’s bonded over more than just their race and horrific pasts. They spoke and acted as sisters; confiding in one-another and watching each others backs. The two former-slave women, having committed murder and arson together, were reluctant to part ways once K’tana was no longer required to have a Master. Yet Inarya knew that she had to be free to be responsible for herself and in control of her own actions.

Unfortunately, instead of becoming a useful member of Arcona, K’tana panicked over her new-found freedom and fled the Brotherhood and Arcona. It would be nine months before she stepped foot on Selen again.


Timeros: "I find your argument unconvincing...There are things that you must learn. If you insist on arguing, I shall teach you new ways to dispute your betters"
K'tana: "Whadd’ya wanna teach me first, Master number three?"
―K'tana and Timeros’ first interaction

It was more than a year later when K’tana returned to Arcona, her insanity having - for the most part - mysteriously diminished. No longer prone to fits of rage, nor flinching when a voice or hand was raised, she was now an exuberant, giggly and lustful creature with little-to-no impulse control. Where once she would have acted cold and distant, she now almost always wore a manic grin.

During the Eleventh Great Jedi War where K’tana proved her herself as a valued member of Arcona and was given second in command of Dark Forge for a short time. Soon after she gleaned a Battlefield promotion and earned her first rank of Equite.

It was during this time K’tana met Timeros Caesus Entar Arconae, the Human male who would, reluctantly, take over her training. He soon found her former Masters had been negligent at best. The Arconae began to forge the scattered-hurricane of a woman into a disciplined Assassin and effective leader. Albeit slowly and with much tension between the two. Somehow the Elder managed to convince the volatile Twi’lek into another leadership position as Battleteam Leader of Shadow Gate, where she currently resides, calling herself Big Mama Twi'lek.

The two share an opposing yet balanced alliance; each bringing more than their fair share of baggage to the table. While precarious, the dichotomy has become a double edged blade that spins end over end--circulating with devastating harmony. K’tana’s lustful nature and Timeros’ repulsion and refusal to let her win keeps the two at arm's-length while still maintaining a somewhat functional mentor and student relationship. Both Master and Apprentice are aware that their alliance will- someday - end with the tip of the blade stuck somewhere unpleasant for either, or both, of them.

Beyond her training with Timeros, K’tana also begun to study the finer art of assassination under the leader of Arcona’s Shadicar, and her former Consul, Marick Arconae. Since becoming employed as the Gate Wardeness and Marick becoming Combat Master, the two have ceased their lessons, both too focused on their current jobs and frequently at different sides of the galaxy. K'tana is not overly distressed by this, finding the Shadicar too stern and boringly long-winded with his explanations.

Personality


"I bloody well knew that one day I was going to get thrown out of a piece of chud ship and onto a phoodoo-smelling planet!"
―K’tana

Highly manic and volatile, K'tana usually breaks into a fit of laughter or "giggling" while in combat. She seems to enjoy pain and becomes more vicious the more she suffers. She revels in the temporary agony and the adrenaline rush, acting like a junky and taunting her enemy into attacking her again. However, she quickly gets bored of this game, realizing there is only so much of a high she can glean from a battle, and she quickly dispatches her foe.

As a former slave, K'tana has codependency issues. She latches onto one person and practically demands that they tell her how to live, what to do and how to make decisions for others. Despite the underlying hypocrisy, she despises slaves while simultaneously feeling that everyone in the Brotherhood is enslaved to it. Including herself. She sees herself as not a slave and better than everyone in leadership. Regardless of this, she has a great affection and adoration of Atyiru Caesura Entar, Arcona's Shadow Lady.

K’tana gets bored easily and has been known to stop whatever it is she may be doing, and burst into dancing, giggling or intense sexual behaviour with whomever is nearby. Other times, she tosses her dagger about and, intentionally, "catches" the blade- the point jutting into her palm. She feels the pain of this, but has spent enough time practising and suppressing the agony so she can consistently push it aside and take more, without becoming incapacitated as easily as she once was.

K'tana has never been fully cold hearted or particularly evil. She simply built a wall around her emotions to bury them in a well deep inside herself. The Twi'lek feels things deeply, however simply does not care. Most things just bounce right off of her. Insults, physical or Force related violence, neither of these things discourage her from acting as she does. She expresses emotions, usually mania and excitement, to the extreme in order to force reactions out of other people. Frequently, this has been done to watch how people respond to certain actions and learn how to manipulate them better in the future.

This behaviour rarely works to her benefit and quite often results with her being TK'd into a wall, smacked...or ignored. Being ignored is the one thing K'tana cannot stand. Although solitude is not an issue to her, having someone blatantly push her aside and disregard her as unimportant causes the woman to become spiteful and angry. She will immediately get in someone's face until they validate her existence with their attention. To K'tana, no attention is bad attention.

Strangely enough, K'tana has an affinity for small, semi-sentient animals. She regards them as truer, more honest beings in comparison to fully sentient Humanoids.


"I'm crazy, not stupid."
― K’tana to Atyiru


Appearance

K’tana is a bewitching Twi’lek woman who is of relatively average height, and much better-than-average curves. Her lekku—which are longer than average Twi’leks’—end just before the small of her back. She has radiant, violaceous skin, and graceful features which are complemented by spots of lavender ink trailing from the contours of her face to the tips of her lekku. From beneath her delicate, perfectly-painted eyebrows, two striking, almond-shaped beryl eyes seem to stare right through whomever catches her gaze. What she may lack somewhat in height, she makes up for in sheer presence.

As K’tana spends most of her free time dancing or sparring, her muscles have grown strong and lithe. However, she isn't the typical tall and slim Twi’lek seen around the Brotherhood. Short for her height, K'tana wears long heels and tall platforms which accentuates her curves. Dangerous and beautiful, she is an enchanting sight to behold.

Pets


"She’s not a pet. She is my friend. Her name is Liera. You’ll get further with both of us if you remember that."
―K'tana describing her relationship with Liera, the Kowakian Monkey-Lizard

Before he died, while having an unexpected and rare moment of appreciation towards his apprentice, K’tana’s late Master gave her a friend. He presented her with two gifts. One was a set of emerald studded, silver lekku bands which K’tana recently sold for a new set of high-heeled, studded stilettos. The other was a small, female Kowakian Monkey-Lizard, named Liera. The young creature is never far from the Tyrian Twi'lek and the two of them seem to be able to communicate quite well. The Mystic is trying to teach the creature to understand the silent lekku language while she learns the gibbers and chuckles of the monkey-lizard. Unknown to most, K’tana is also teaching Liera to handle a blade.

Unbeknownst to all but a few, K’tana is also Force bonded to a rancor hatchling named May’riia. She was found after the Eleventh Great Jedi War and placed under the Twi’lek’s care by former Shadow Lord Marick Arconae (and subsequently made responsible for any damages or expenses the creature might incur). The whereabouts of this creature is unknown, even to those closest to K’tana. Those who know of May’riia have no clue what the deranged Twi’lek has planned for the dangerous creature, but several are sure that she has yet to figure it out herself.

Shadow Gate Cover

Alias Name: Koekie Donder

Physical Description: K’tana is a creature of ego and arrogance. Although she has the ability to change her face, she changes very little. Her tattoo’s fade away, her eyes hide her pupils and become a light shade of violet. When she smiles she has teeth that are pointed like that of a feral animal. Aside from those slight differences, she sees no real point in hiding her face from mundane civilians. Besides, everyone knows all Twi'leks look the same to most humanoids anyway.

Occupation & Skills: Leader of a gang called the 27's, Koekie runs the everyday operations of prostitution and drug peddling. She uses her resources to gather Intel on the underworld dealings on Ol’val and to keep the other gangs under the supervision of Arcona and Shadow Gate. K’tana is a very proficient killer, dancer and entertainer. Koekie is head of a notorious gang that once dealt with the unstable drug, Red Eye. With either persona, people underestimate Twi’leks and K’tana/Koekie uses this to her advantage, allowing her targets to think of her as nothing more than a pretty piece of flesh they can command. Once they are certain of her obedience or impressed by her skills, they usually find the woman smirking in their face with her blade through their throat.


Behind the Scenes

Outstanding Achievements

{{Quote| I'm crazy, not stupid| K'tana to Atyriu}]

She was "saved" from execution or possible continued slavery(or so she thought) by Jaek Kaeth who brought her to the Dark Brotherhood as his apprentice. She quickly went up the ranks and earned herself two Dark Crosses and Crescent with an Emerald Star. After, her so-called Master, Jaek died; Inarya took over her training. Through her, K'tana rose rank to Dark Jedi Knight. With the help of those hidden within Qel-Droma she rose to Battle Team Sergeant and, soon after, the Battle Team Leader of Shadow Gate

Random Facts

  • K'tana has not seen her former Mistress in years and the Lethan Twi’lek has slowly become a distant - but fond - memory. Although she'll never say it, K'tana misses her and still thinks of the other woman as a sister.
  • She now clings to both Liera(Kowakian Monkey-Lizard) and May’riia (her year old hatchling Rancor) as a mother would her children, having formed very maternal bonds to the two very different beings.
  • K'tana's favorite color is a mixture of fuchsia and black. She believes they suit her shade of skin, however will often wear blue and gold to clubs.
  • K'tana is deathly afraid of two things. Her former Master and the living dead. Usually, when in nightmares, the two work hand-in-hand. This is the only time that she doesn't get a surge of excited adrenaline with her fear. Occasionally, the nightmares are so bad that she startles herself awake with tears streaming down her cheeks.
  • She loves feen fruit.
