- "In the name of the One Sith."
- ―Maxyn Vonissia
Maxyn Vonnisia is a female Kiffar and former Sith Lady of Darth Krayt's One Sith organization. Having grown up constrained by her conservative family, Maxyn abandoned her previous life to become a Bounty Hunter, becoming a feared stalker of the underworld. Using her natural talent for psychometry, Maxyn was able to easily track her targets across the Galaxy by extracting information from both people and objects. Eventually, this talent and her latent Force-sensitivity placed her under the One Sith's radar.
She began her apprenticeship in 30 ABY with fellow student Yobd Nan. However, due to the instant and vicious hatred the two had for each other, Krayt took direct control over Maxyn's training until she was awarded the title of Sith Lady. Her powers of psychometry and pyrokinesis made her a valuable asset to the burgeoning One Sith. She quickly rose through the ranks and was given command of the Sith forces assaulting the planet Rhelg.
Due to a fateful encounter with the Dark Brotherhood Jedi, Shadow Taldrya, Maxyn was captured by the leaders of the Brotherhood and exploited for her power to uncover intelligence to help sway the course of the war in favor of the Dark Jedi. In 37 ABY, near the end of the Crusade, she was freed from her imprisonment and sent on a mission to rescue Shadow Taldrya, who had been missing for months. When she learned the truth of Shadow's fate, Maxyn severed ties with the One Sith and disappeared.

Physical Appearance
Maxyn Vonnisia
Maxyn Vonnisia is a Kiffar female in her mid-thirties, though she no longers carries the markings of her Clan, Moxla, having removed them after breaking ties with her family. Her lithe frame and soft curves are built towards flexibility and grace, rather than raw power. She possesses a dark, ephemeral beauty that she wields to draw the attention of others, often leading the weak-minded to their unsuspecting deaths. With her crimson hair, bright blue eyes, and flawless complexion, Maxyn is a striking figure that few can dismiss.
Maxyn favors form-fitting clothing over the traditional style of loose robes and cloaks. She enjoys flaunting her looks and loves using her appearance to disarm unsuspecting opponents. Her outward appearance speaks to her years spent as a Bounty Hunter, rather than the Force Adept she has become. She has a strong preference for the color black, though this doesn't prevent her from choosing an outfit to best fit a situation--as long as it benefits her to do so. As a prideful creature, Maxyn rarely attempts to hide who and what she is, brazenly displaying both her hand-crafted lightsabers and staff on her belt with no regard to who may see them.
Personality and traits
Maxyn is proud, stubborn, and aggressive. Her life was one of luxury on Kiffu, but she grew bored with the sedate life of a protected princess. She had a deep-seated lust for power and wealth that drove her to abandon her home and seek thrills as a professional mercenary. Maxyn grew to love the rush of tracking and eliminating targets. She basked in the wealth her abilities earned her and used her seductive looks to insinuate herself into the Black Sun organization at a young age.
When she was first inducted into the One Sith, Maxyn learned to unleash her cruelty. She came to believe her power was absolute, second only to her master. Wealth began to mean less to her and power became her one and only drive. The teachings of the One Sith twisted her until darkness was all she saw. She delighted in playing mind games and toying with the emotions of others. She used her gift for psychometry to rip secrets from people, lording over those that fell to her powers until the very act of using her power was like a drug to her.
However, after her imprisonment and subsequent escape from the Dark Brotherhood, Maxyn desire to inflict pain and fear on people diminished. Confinement and torture changed her—maybe even broke her for a while. Most believe it was the supposed death of Shadow Taldrya that caused the real shift in Maxyn's personality. Since that time, she has become more detached and emotionless. She spends more time in quiet reflection, no longer living for sin and glory as she once had. But, despite having matured and grown out of her Sith nature, Maxyn still retains a great deal of pride in her own strength and she is, perhaps, even more stubborn when it comes to the people and things that matter to her.

Psychometry
Psychometry: About one in a hundred Kiffar had the ability to read the memories of inanimate objects—including formerly animate objects like corpses—by touch, an ability known as psychometry. It was not, however, normal for a Kiffar to be able to read the living. Quinlan Vos was a rare exception to this rule because of his training under Count Dooku.
Maxyn however is perfectly willing to use her psychometric abilities on living creatures, in order to tear their memories from their actual brains. While psychometry is not always useful in live combat, the Sith Lady has mastered it thoroughly in order to use it quickly and instinctually in order to “scan” her opponents.
