Mayda Ferium

"A rose by any other name would still prick you with its thorns."

―Joseph Michael Linsner

Character History

A human female raised on Utapau by her father. She had force sensitivities early on, but no one to train under. As a teen, she became a liaison to the Utapau Representatives to the New Republic, working behind their back as a spy for Black Sun. She is charismatic, patient, and loyal. Not a merciless killer, but she's ripped the heart out of a Jedi who said his heart was hers to keep. She prefers to affect change behind the scenes, making backroom deals and gathering allies.

Mostly reclusive, Mayda and her father stayed out of the public areas on Utapau, new members of the New Republic. She was content, but sheltered, as a child, raised alone by her father, in one of the more remote city-sinkholes. She made many friends: Pauan, Uta, and other humanoids, but never really felt comfortable around humans, not having seen them often. She knew no other force users, and was never trained to use her gifts. At the age of 13, she was traveling on a transport with her father to some Outer Rim world as part of his undisclosed but shady business ventures. Before they reached it, the ship crashed, leaving Mayda with burns and scarring, though glad to survive. After that, she stayed reclusive for a few years. At the age of 16, she became a liaison to the Utapau Representatives to the New Republic, working behind their back as an undercover spy for Black Sun. Her father was a secret agent for Black Sun, and therefore encouraged Mayda, as one of the few humans there, to serve as a Liaison and Assistant to some Republic and Utapaun politicians. Moving to Pau City, she lived amongst the politicians, and only met secretly with her father every month. She was able to gather Classified information and pass it onto Black Sun through him.

In 24 ABY, the NR made a wide sweep, arresting all Black Sun Agents, including her father. Mayda was not discovered as part of them, but was about to be under suspicion, so she fled Utapau. With the small savings that her father had amassed, she traveled to a few outer rim planets, and was able to afford some plastic surgery on her face. Her anger and loneliness only exaggerated her leaning toward the Darkside. She decided that she must find a place where there were others like her, others who could take her in, as part of their organization. In 26 ABY, a spice smuggler told her to seek out the moon Lyspair.

DJB History

In 26 ABY, Mayda Ferium arrived on Lyspair, and was accepted into the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Starting at the Shadow Academy, she was assigned to House Exar Kun of Clan Plagueis. Many members were welcoming and offered advice, looking out for the young female. She progressed through the lower ranks quickly, due to her incessant studying and love for writing and winning Competitions. Upon reaching Protector rank, Valerian Orzon noticed her and took her on as his Apprentice. Her proudest appointment was as an Editor to the Dark Voice.

As a Guardian, she was chosen to be the new Commander of BattleTeam Exar's Shadow, after Laigerick mysteriously disappeared. After a grueling month of leading her team through the Rite of Supremacy, Mayda thought it best to resign her position. She felt proud of how the group had grown, but thought she could do no more to improve it. Recent changes and personnel had poisoned the well and caused much turmoil. A friend offered to finally give her the guidance and teaching she sought, so she felt she needed to move elsewhere and follow him to a new home.
