SOCIAL INFORMATION

• Name: Macha
• Loyalties: Lady Izanami
• Notable Possessions:
  • She wears a collar of purple and black, forged from beskar, giving it a sleek yet indestructible appearance. At its center sits a ruby jewel shaped like a butterfly, catching the light with a deep crimson glow. Each wing of the butterfly is adorned with a singular black crescent moon, adding an elegant, mystical detail.
• Personality:
  • Macha's loyalty to Lady Izanami is absolute, almost instinctual, expressed less in words and more in constant, vigilant presence; she is always watching, always ready, a living shield that bristles at the slightest hint of threat. Toward strangers she is openly aggressive, sharp-edged and territorial, meeting unfamiliar faces with bared hostility and an unspoken promise of violence if boundaries are crossed. Yet among those she knows and accepts, that ferocity melts away into a surprisingly calm, playful demeanor, teasing, mischievous, and even affectionate in her own rough way. Beneath it all, Macha is a bundle of restless energy and boundless curiosity, forever prowling, sniffing out secrets, and poking at the world with eager intensity, as if every shadow might hide either danger to her mistress or something fascinating, she simply has to investigate.
• Training:
  • Macha's training has honed her into a creature of disciplined instinct, capable of snapping instantly between lethal aggression and controlled stillness at the sound of a direct order, knowing precisely when to attack and when to stand down. Each command is etched into her reflexes, allowing her to relax, observe, or strike without hesitation, never questioning Lady Izanami's intent. That same training has granted her the ability to hunt and stalk enemies independently, moving with patient, predatory silence even when separated from her mistress, guided by learned patterns rather than constant oversight. As a result, Macha is not merely dangerous but remarkably well-behaved—highly trained, obedient, and precise—her ferocity carefully leashed until the moment it is deliberately unleashed.

COMBAT INFORMATION

• Combat Function:
  • Macha's combat function is brutally efficient, centered around her powerful jaws and immense physical strength, which she employs with terrifying decisiveness once unleashed. When engaged, she does not posture or test her enemy; she commits fully, surging forward with overwhelming force meant to break, crush, and end resistance in moments. Her ability to camouflage allows her to melt into her surroundings before the strike, turning the battlefield itself into an extension of her body and denying opponents any warning of her approach. In combat, Macha seeks nothing less than the rapid and violent destruction of her opposition, leaving little chance of survival and even less time for fear, her attacks precise, merciless, and final.
• Force Abilities (Force User Companions Only): N/A

Strengths:

• Intelligence
  
  • Macha possesses a high intelligence that goes far beyond instinct, allowing her to understand complex situations, communicate intent, and respond with deliberate awareness, marking her as distinctly semi-sentient in nature. This intelligence enables her not only to impose fear through presence alone, but to read behavior, anticipate reactions, and adapt in real time. Every movement in combat is calculated, each attack plotted, each advance planned, making her a predator that thinks as sharply as she kills.
• Overall Power
  
  • Macha's overall physical prowess is overwhelming, defined by immense strength and raw power packed into a predator's frame. Her big, massive paws strike with crushing force, sharp claws capable of tearing through flesh and armor alike, anchoring her prey with terrifying certainty. Coupled with her strong, bone-crushing jaws, every part of her body is a weapon designed for domination in close combat.

Weaknesses:

• Slow Moving
  
  • Despite her fearsome power, one of Macha's greatest weakness lies in her slow movements and limited running speed, a direct consequence of her immense size and overall body mass. She is not built for long pursuits or rapid repositioning, favoring deliberate, heavy advances over swift chases. If forced into open ground against faster opponents, her momentum becomes a liability rather than an advantage.
• Poor Eyesight
  
  • Macha's poor sight is a notable weakness, limiting her ability to track distant or fast-moving targets with precision. She relies heavily on other senses to compensate, which can leave her vulnerable to visual deception or attacks launched from afar. In environments where sound and scent are masked, her impaired vision can delay her response just long enough for an enemy to gain the upper hand.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

Macha's history begins years ago on the shadowed wilds of Kashyyyk, where she was found as a wounded cub, abandoned and certain to perish, until Lady Izanami intervened. The witch did not merely save her life; she claimed her, raising Macha with deliberate care, patience, and ritualized discipline, shaping raw instinct into controlled ferocity. Together they trained in silence and in blood, in stillness and in violence, forging a bond that went far beyond master and beast; an unspoken understanding built on trust, shared survival, and an undying love that only deepened as years passed.

Yet Macha is more than a singular creature; she will be part of a hidden lineage carefully preserved by Lady Izanami herself. When a Macha reaches an age known only to the Sangnir witch, Lady Izanami ensures the continuation of that bond by breeding her and selecting a single female cub to raise, nurture, and shape into the next Macha. In this way, there will always be a Macha at Lady Izanami's side, each one a lifelong companion, each carrying echoes of the last, allowing the immortal witch to maintain a continuity of loyalty, love, and protection that transcends time, death, and generations.
