PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS

Although capable in martial capacities there's an element of Ardere still ruled by her passions. She still enjoys a drink, and a party perhaps a little too much. Despite this when it comes time to take her position in the battle line she does so fully committed.

HISTORY
Ardere was a happy child, bubbly, friendly, a little haughty in her attitude with her upbringing in a noble house. In some aspects she was given everything, toys, clothes, an education. In others she had nothing of value, her mother cared little enough about her except as a necessary trophy to parade around at social events, and her father had died in battle.
Ardere's mother's constant criticisms developed a rebellious child, who by her early teens was getting into situations she was too young to be involved with. One notable example would be the time she stole an interceptor in the hopes of running away to join pirates.
After that Ardere was given a Hapan assassin training mistress in order to learn discipline and the art of assassination. Ardere hated that to, but her training master was more severe and it was made clear to Ardere that her mother wouldn't hesitate to have her killed if she failed in her lessons.
So Ardere learned, she was a great shot, she also learned, poisons, sabotage, demolitions, infiltration, slicing even acting to get close to a target. She learnt this for two years before she was sent on her first mission. The target was a Sith Lord Darth Metus, the man who killed her father. Hapan blood feuds were a time honoured custom. In retrospect it was obvious that her mother just wanted her dead so her little sister could be heir. Ardere suspects she picked a random Sith Lord who was likely to kill her.
Ardere likes to think she did pretty well for her first mission, at least with the infiltration part. Managing to get into his personal quarters. Which is when Darth Metus easily overpowered her with the force, complimented her on getting this far, though he made a comment on how he was glad he had allowed her to do so. The entire infiltration had been a test and a trap.
Metus gave her a choice die or serve him and live. Ardere chose the latter. She expected to become a tool for him, an assassin for when he couldn't be bothered to kill someone on the far side of the galaxy himself. Instead, he taught her how to be a warrior, how to wield the Force and slowly became something more than her liege.
The next two years were training nonstop. They became close as a result, Ardere even got to know his large extended family they called her 'Tracinya' flame in Mandalorian. Ardere came to want the family dynamics they represented, to be accepted, as part of a culture that looked out for each other, was forthright, a home she never had.
Metus whose Mandalorian name was Isley Verd upon completion of her training granted her wish and adopted her as his child. One of his 'white sheep'. Then sent Ardere off to serve the Clan, The Resol'nare, the Mandalorians and the Mandalore.
Ardere has recently arrived in the ranks of the Iron Wolves eager to prove her metal. That she's worthy of the name Verd and the mantle of Mandalorian.
