_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Strengths:
Intelligent: Matsu is very smart and picks up on things quickly. She is able to free-associate and think creatively, which aids her in building better illusions.
Patient :She is not easily deterred from a task, even when it’s evident it’s going to take a while. She is capable of waiting years to get what she wants.
Charismatic: Matsu tends to draw people to her naturally, through a demeanor surprisingly friendly and warm considering her title.
Force Connection: Matsu is naturally strongly attuned to the dark side of the Force, but due to the nature of her training and the path she chose, she's gotten even stronger, putting almost all of her effort in to learning to manipulate her gift. With the right practice and determination, she can tap in to whatever she needs.
Weaknesses:
Basics Only: Despite an incredible connection to the Force, Matsu has only Basic saber skills - essentially enough to defend herself and press minor attacks, but otherwise she relies on the Force to fight, or fights from a distance. She is excellent and quick in hand-to-hand, but this comes in handy only some of the time.
Shrimp: Matsu is tiny in both height and weight. This only adds to her difficulty in physical combat as almost all opponents have a distinct advantage against her – unless she’s fighting an Ewok.
Appearance
Avatar is true to form. (Looks like Liu Wen.) Matsu is never, ever caught in clothes that are not designer, or out of the current season. She is very polished and quiet, elegant to the point of intimidation.
Scarred around her mouth and along her jaw; reconstructed after Valiens Nantaris destroyed her jaw with a lightsaber.
Burn marks around shoulders from Connor Harrison.
Large burn scar on right cheek from Connor Harrison.
Electrical burn marks cascading from cybernetic edges from lightning attack by Siobhan Kerrigan.
Various scars, divots, and battle wounds from her run-in's with Siobhan Kerrigan & Elpsis Kerrigan-Alcori.
Eyes are white but not blind after burns/replacement needed after Elpsis Kerrigan-Alcori burned them during a fight.
Modifications
Cybernetic Arms
Bio-Stabilizer Implant
Cybernetic Lungs
