- Biography
-
Katarine Alysabeth Ryiah is a Force-sensitive female human who served during the Clone Wars. A descendant from the ancient house of Petro, her grandmother renounced the family name after an altercation within the family. Katarine was born to two loving parents who had a troubled connection with a dark Jedi cult known as The Followers of Gemini.
Lady Sinistra, leader of the cult, believed that Katarine and her twin brother Daxium fulfilled an ancient prophecy allowing the cult to rise to power in the galaxy. To harness this prophecy, Lady Sinistra abducted the children when they were infants. The Jedi maintained a list of confirmed Force-sensitive infants, particularly their identities and locations, so they knew of the twins existence. When it was discovered the Dark Jedi cult had kidnapped the children, a team of Jedi was sent to rescue them. The Jedi rescued the children and decided to separate them, believing it would be more difficult for remnants of the cult to find them if the twins were not together. Daxium was adopted by a wealthy family on Naboo and Katarine went to the Jedi.
As a Jedi youngling Katarine was taught at the Coruscant Temple. At the temple she learned alongside other younglings, forming friendships and connections to other Jedi. Katarine, like most younglings was divided into one of the clans consisting of approximately twenty students. She began her basic training in the Jedi arts upon joining a clan. Her lessons included various tests and rituals that had to be completed to advance to the higher levels of the Jedi arts. Between the ages of four and eight, she acquired the basic skills of lightsaber combat using a low-powered training saber to practice the deflection of blaster shots fired by training droids.
As a youngling Katarine participated in The Gathering, a rite of passage of the Jedi Order meant as a lesson to teach Jedi Initiates how to overcome their personal fears or failings and to find a kyber crystal attuned to their Force presence in the Crystal Caves of Ilum. Upon retrieving the crystal, Kat began the process of constructing her lightsaber under the guidance of Master Spark Vallen.After the construction of her lightsaber Katarine became the padawan of Jessari Tanelorn. She assumed the role of Jedi Commander in the military and served with Jessari Tanelorn. During this era the galaxy was tranquil so Katarine and Jessari were stationed in the outer rim, helping to contain criminal elements that threatened citizen safety on those worlds. Katarine trained in stealth and investigation and soon took the path of a Jedi Investigator. During this time she took her trials and ascended to the rank of Jedi Knight. As a Jedi Knight she trained several young students to knighthood, including Mist Mayweather, Aden Lothiar, Elion Corsair, James Terran, and Phylis Alince and Zana Manto. Her commitment to training earned her the rank of Jedi Master. She would retain this rank and fight in the Clone Wars.
When Order 66 was issued Katarine was frozen in carbonite deep within the waters of Naboo. When the planet experienced a cataclysmic event her chamber was knocked free and she surfaced. She spent three years in Theed combating hibernation sickness. When she overcame the illness she joined The New Jedi Order to help serve the galaxy during this new time.

This effect is multiplied if the darksider makes physical contact with her.

- Kindess - Kat wears her heart on her sleeve, which can be very dangerous for a Jedi.

Lightsabers
During her padawan training Katarine went to Ilum to find the crystals contained in her lightsabers. She selected two sets of crystals that were bled by Sith in order to make strong dark weapons however because Katarine is weakened by the darkside (Darkside Kryptonite) she needed to purify the crystals before she could use them. She was able to purify one crystal set completely but the second crystal still contains some darkside energy, meaning she can only use it for a short period of time before it weakens her.Katarine specializes in wielding two blades, each contained two crystals. Each weapon has a dual-phase mechanism, which allows her to switch from one crystal to the other with a turn of the hilt, thus lengthening the blade. When the blades are in their standard form they are white, average length and utilizing the purified crystal, but when the hilt is rotated the blades lengthen and utilize the crystal that still has some residual dark energy This dark energy turns the blade pink and can only be used for a short time before Kat must switch her weapon back to it's original form.

After her revival on Naboo she constructed another lightsaber. This lightsaber is a two bladed weapon with a handle that allows it to be separated into two single lightsabers. The blades are pink and they contain a standard crystal from the caves on Ilum.

This outfit served her well while she was doing undercover missions with the Jedi Investigators, and latter helped her hide her identity as a Jedi after Order 66. While she worked with the rebellion she would hide her lightsabers in her jacket or inside her boots to keep from revealing her true identity. After her arrival in the current time period Katarine stood out for wearing clothes that were a century out of fashion. Thanks to her new friends in the New Jedi Order she was gifted with a more updated version of Jedi attire. This new outfit features a black and white jumpsuit with black boots.
BlasterKatarine owns an antique ELG-3A blaster pistol from Naboo. The weapon is old and can sometimes misfire but sentimental attachment keeps it with her.
