PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Lia Stilben is a human woman in her late thirties. Standing about 5'8", she has a balanced, athletic build — strong without losing her curves. Her skin is pale with a faint, healthy warmth, and her hair is a dark sable brown that catches deep red highlights under bright light. Usually worn in a classic up-do, a few loose strands frame a sharp, composed face marked by an angular jaw and full, dark lips. Her eyes are a striking storm-gray, often accentuated by subtle smoky shadow that deepens her intense gaze.
Her style favors practical elegance — fitted blacks, grays, and deep reds that move easily in combat but maintain a sense of authority. She often wears light armor or tailored robes that blend Sith austerity with personal refinement. A gold-hued lightsaber hangs at her side, and the faint scent of ozone tends to linger in her presence, a reminder of the storms she commands through the Force.
INVENTORY
WEAPONS: Simple lightsaber - gold blade

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Lia Stilben moves through life much like the storms she commands — deliberate, charged, and always on the edge of eruption. Once fiery and impulsive, she's learned to channel that energy into focus and control, her temper now a weapon rather than a weakness. Her wit is sharp, her humor dry, and her patience selective; she values intelligence, discipline, and strength of will, but has no tolerance for incompetence or posturing.
She's pragmatic above all — preferring strategy, persuasion, or manipulation over brute force — yet when pressed, her response is swift and merciless. In battle, Lia fights with an almost preternatural instinct, as though the Force itself guides her every move. Her blend of precision, power, and composure often makes her seem untouchable — though beneath that control lies the same volatile passion that has always driven her.
To her allies, she can be exacting but fair; to her enemies, a cold and merciless storm. Beneath it all, Lia remains the consummate survivor — not because the galaxy ever spared her, but because she refuses to yield to it.
Lightsaber Combat & Fighting Style
Lia Stilben's approach to combat is a blend of instinct, adaptability, and sheer willpower. Her foundation in Shii-Cho gives her a reliable base — a solid grasp of movement, spacing, and saber control — while her exposure to Niman allows her to fluidly incorporate the Force into her offense. Over time, she deepened her understanding of Shien / Djem So, channeling her power through counterstrikes and direct, overwhelming momentum. The aggression and emotional precision of Juyo eventually became the backbone of her personal style, refined by experience into something far more deliberate than reckless.In battle, Lia fights with a calculated ferocity. Her movements are efficient, decisive, and often unpredictable — weaving bursts of lightning, telekinetic strikes, and acrobatics into the flow of her saber work. She doesn't rely purely on form or flourish; she'll seize an opening by any means necessary, whether that means throwing a shoulder, slamming an opponent into a wall, or driving her hilt like a fist into their jaw.
What defines her technique isn't elegance, but control. Every blow carries purpose, every motion measured. When she commits to a fight, she becomes the storm itself — fast, relentless, and devastating, guided by focus sharp enough to cut through the chaos she creates.
STRENGTHS
Force Storm Savant: Lia's mastery over Force lightning and Force storms borders on legendary. Her control over energy is refined to a razor's edge — precise, devastating, and often overwhelming to those unprepared for the sheer magnitude of it.
Instinctive Combatant: Though never formally trained as a duelist, Lia's instincts and reflexes are exceptional. She fights in a way that defies form — blending sorcery, raw Force manipulation, and saber work into a single seamless rhythm. When in the zone, she becomes a living extension of the storm, unpredictable and nearly impossible to read.
Iron Focus: Lia can enter an almost meditative state in battle — pure flow. In that state, she channels the Force with unmatched precision and grace, often overpowering opponents who by all rights should outclass her.
Resilient Spirit: She has endured planetary destruction, betrayal, and the endless trials of Sith life without breaking. Her mental and emotional endurance are as formidable as her power.
WEAKNESSES
Overextension: Lia's immense power comes at a price. Prolonged or excessive use of Force storms drains her rapidly — physically, mentally, and spiritually. When she pushes too far, her body simply cannot sustain the energy she channels.
Disruption Sensitivity: Her "flow" in combat is both her greatest strength and her most fragile asset. Distractions — allies interfering, unexpected chaos — can break her rhythm and leave her vulnerable.
Emotional Core: Though she presents herself as coldly analytical, Lia's emotions are deep and volatile. Anger and pride, once triggered, can drive her to make reckless decisions that undercut her otherwise surgical precision.
Authority Aversion: Lia has little patience for arrogance, incompetence, or bureaucracy — especially from those who haven't earned their place. Her sharp tongue and lack of deference have cost her allies and favor in more structured Sith hierarchies.
HISTORY
Lia Stilben was born on a cold, harsh world under the rule of an unforgiving planetary regime. Her parents did what they could to shield her from the oppression that defined daily life, but fear and scarcity were constants. When the planet's ruling powers turned to forbidden experiments with the Dark Side, the resulting cataclysm tore civilization apart. Lia was among the few to escape the devastation — one refugee among thousands, cast adrift across the stars with nothing but will and fury to keep her alive.
The years that followed hardened her. She drifted from system to system, surviving through cunning, determination, and a latent connection to the Force she neither understood nor trusted. That potential eventually drew the attention of the Sith, who saw in her both promise and defiance. Offered a chance at power and purpose, she accepted.
Her training was brutal but brief; she learned quickly, adapted faster, and refused to break. What began as obedience became ambition. She passed her trials with remarkable speed, not because she sought recognition — but because she could not bear to be weak again.
Now, as a seasoned sorceress and survivor, Lia stands as both scholar and weapon. The girl who once fled a dying world has long since learned to command storms of her own making.
Recent History
In time, Lia vanished into the Unknown Regions — part exile, part pilgrimage. The galaxy moved on without her, but she did not rest. Among the scattered ruins and dead stars of that forgotten frontier, she hunted for knowledge long buried — remnants of empires, Force sects, and civilizations erased from history. What she found there, she keeps to herself.Now, she has returned. Some say she brings back relics and secrets from the edges of known space; others claim she's found something far more dangerous — perhaps even someone. Lia isn't saying. What's clear is that the storm has broken once again across the stars, and she is walking at its heart.
