- Personality:
- Niva'ri Priest is a study in composed complexity—at once empathetic and sharp, gentle and unyielding, refined yet forged in the crucible of trauma. Her personality radiates a quiet strength born not from dominance, but from deep understanding. Having lived through the contrasting dogmas of the Jedi and Sith, and now integrated into the Mandalorian ethos, she carries a flexible and nuanced worldview. She is someone who listens before she speaks, yet when she does, her words carry weight, often laced with insight that cuts through confusion like a vibroblade through silk. Her Zeltron heritage enhances her natural empathy, allowing her to instinctively read the emotions and intentions of those around her, making her both an excellent diplomat and a terrifyingly effective manipulator when necessary. She does not manipulate for cruelty, but for clarity—guiding others toward decisions they might not have found on their own, often without realizing her hand was there.
There is a serene sensuality to her, not in performance, but in presence; her movements are graceful, her voice calm and articulate, and her demeanor soothing even in tense moments. Despite this gentleness, she is not naïve or soft in the pejorative sense. Her time under the yoke of a Sith Lord taught her how darkness works from the inside out, and while it scarred her, it also tempered her resilience. Niva'ri is not easily shaken. Beneath her calm lies a fiercely guarded independence, a core of iron will honed by betrayal, rejection, and survival. She refuses to be anyone's tool again—be they Jedi, Sith, or otherwise. She has a moral compass, but it is hers alone, guided more by intuition and empathy than by doctrine. As such, she can appear enigmatic to those who demand black-and-white answers from a woman who lives in the gray. She will weep openly for strangers, but she will not hesitate to strike down a threat with ruthless precision if the situation calls for it.
In intimate circles, Niva'ri is warm, teasing, even disarmingly affectionate. Her relationship with Tarre is one of balance and mutual growth—she counters his blunt severity with humor and softness, and he gives her grounding and protection without ever trying to contain her. She has an almost instinctual need to heal others—not just physically, but emotionally—offering comfort, perspective, and strength when those around her falter. Yet she hides her own pain behind layers of elegance and control, only revealing her true vulnerability to those she trusts absolutely. Loyalty, once earned, is unshakable; betrayal, once given, is rarely forgiven. She is not one to raise her voice or posture in rage—her disappointments are delivered in silence and cool restraint, which often cuts deeper. At her core, Niva'ri is a woman who has walked through fire and emerged neither consumed nor broken, but transformed. She is not interested in being anyone's savior or symbol—she simply wants to live a life of meaning, surrounded by people who see her for who she truly is: a survivor, a seer, a warrior, a lover, and above all, her own person.
"I'm not your ideal Jedi. I'm not a proper Sith. And I'm certainly not a docile noble. I'm what's left when all three fail to claim me."
COMBAT INFORMATION
- Weapon of Choice: A combination of Lightsaber, Ranged Small Arm Pistol Weaponry, Armored Combat, Force Combat, Trained as a Jedi and Sith previously and is now a Mandalorian Knight within the Priest Clan.
- Combat Function:
- In the heart of battle, Niva'ri Priest serves as a master of balance—neither front-line juggernaut nor distant commander, but a tactical lynchpin whose strength lies in mental acuity, forceful empathy, and surgical application of power. She is the eye of the storm, a presence of control amid the chaos of Mandalorian warfare. Drawing on her unique experiences as a Jedi initiate, a companion of a Sith Lord, and now a Mandalorian Knight, her combat approach blends insight, agility, and strategic precision. Rather than brute strength, Niva'ri excels at disruption and support. She enters conflict not with overwhelming firepower, but with foresight and manipulation—seeding confusion in enemy minds with techniques like Alter Mind, Mind Shard, and even Memory Walk, tools of psychological disarmament refined from her time in the Sith sphere. Her use of localized Battle Meditation and Force Meld enables her to heighten the clarity, coordination, and resilience of her allies, particularly Tarre Priest, with whom she shares an almost unspoken combat rhythm. Niva'ri's deep emotional perception allows her to guide battlefield dynamics with an almost preternatural sense of timing—calming the berserk, uplifting the faltering, or clouding the resolve of enemy units at just the right moment.
In close quarters, Niva'ri is not defenseless—far from it. Her lightsaber technique borrows from Form II's elegance and Form III's defensive posture, blending fluid footwork and redirection with instinctive precognition. She does not overpower opponents, but outmaneuvers them, combining calculated saber strikes with pinpoint use of telekinesis to off-balance foes or redirect projectiles. Her small-arms proficiency, particularly with the SM-10a pistol, allows her to engage enemies at medium range with deadly accuracy, often while masking her Force presence or cloaking her emotions to create an unpredictable combat signature. Her customized owl-type Beskargam armor provides her both agility and stealth functionality, further reinforcing her preference for precision over attrition. She is also capable of pushing herself through injury and pain using Crucitorn, allowing her to remain an active and lethal presence on the field even when severely wounded. These traits make her an ideal support duelist—able to confront enemy Force users and disrupt their concentration while the more brutal Mandalorians capitalize on that opening.
When fighting alongside Tarre Priest, she becomes even more formidable. She anchors his fury, either tempering it when it threatens to cloud his mind, or feeding into it when it needs to burn hotter. The psychic rapport between them, enhanced by Force Meld and empathic sensitivity, turns them into a seamless team—one hammer, one scalpel. While Tarre pushes the assault, Niva'ri tracks the broader rhythm of the battlefield, using Force Empathy to sense ambushes or betrayal, directing backup squads with silent confidence, or mentally shielding allies from fear and confusion. Her battlefield contributions may not leave a crater—but they leave no less a mark, subtly shifting the flow of combat in her favor with every breath.
Still, her limitations are real. Niva'ri is not built to tank a fight; prolonged melee against overwhelming brute strength will eventually wear her down, and her dependency on the Force for much of her combat efficacy makes her vulnerable to Force-suppression fields or environments laced with ysalamiri or cortosis. Moreover, her deep emotional sensitivity, her greatest strength, can become a vulnerability if exposed to overwhelming trauma or moral confusion—particularly in battles involving civilian casualties or senseless slaughter. Yet despite this, she endures—not by force of will alone, but by a quiet and sharpened instinct to survive, adapt, and protect.
Niva'ri does not fight for glory or ideology. She fights for the people she's chosen as her own. She is not Tarre's shield, nor his shadow—she is his match in a different register. Where he cuts, she binds. Where he breaks, she mends. On the battlefield, she is the unshakable voice behind the fury, the calm flame at the center of the storm. Together, they are not only warriors—they are architects of the future - Force Abilities: Apprentice-Near Knight Level Force Skills
Strengths: - "We carry our past on our backs and our hopes in our gauntlets. This is the Way—not perfection, but persistence."
- Mentalist - Niva'ri's Zeltron physiology and deep Force sensitivity combine into an almost preternatural gift for emotional navigation. Her skills in Force Empathy, Truth-Sense, and Alter Mind make her a living lie detector, able to read intentions, manipulate thoughts, and sense emotional shifts even from skilled Force users. She has a powerful ability to discern and influence political, interpersonal, and battlefield dynamics in ways many can't anticipate. This also makes her a superb interrogator, diplomat, and mental combatant.
- Multi-faceted Training - Trained under both Jedi and Sith doctrine before forging her own Mandalorian path, Niva'ri commands a hybridized skillset rarely seen. She can use Battle Meditation, Memory Walk, Crucitorn, and Memory Rub, all while wielding a lightsaber and small arms with tactical skill. This makes her unpredictable in combat—able to shift from supportive battlefield coordination to psychological warfare or devastating personal assault.
- Mental Resilience - Having survived emotional isolation from the Jedi, enslavement by a Sith Lord, and aristocratic exile, Niva'ri has forged a core of unshakable mental steel beneath her composed exterior. She is immune to most mental manipulation, fear effects, or coercion, and can act as a psychic anchor for others in chaotic battle conditions. Her Crucitorn use is not just a power—it's a survival philosophy.
- Combat Integration - While not a brawler in the traditional Mandalorian sense, Niva'ri blends mid-range combat with close-quarter Force techniques fluidly. Her Owl-type Beskargam is customized for mobility, scouting, and subterfuge, reinforcing her role as a shadow operative and commander rather than front-line brute. Her Force Meld ability makes her a powerful asset in any squad-based strike.
- Confliction - Though she embraces her emotions, that very strength is a vulnerability. In situations where her empathy becomes too overwhelming—particularly when facing innocents in danger, former Jedi comrades, or reminders of her Sith past—Niva'ri can experience emotional override. This may dull her combat edge or cause her to hesitate, creating exploitable moments of weakness.
- Displacement - Niva'ri is a Zeltron aristocrat turned Jedi, turned Sith consort, turned Mandalorian. While this mosaic of experiences grants her flexibility, it also makes her a cultural misfit. Among Mandalorians, she may be questioned for her soft-spoken diplomacy and refusal to suppress her emotions. Her natural sensuality and empathy can be misread as manipulation, leading to mistrust even within her allies.
- Prolonged Combat - While trained in combat and armored appropriately, Niva'ri's physiology and combat style are not designed for prolonged direct firefights or brutal melee engagements. Her strength lies in finesse, agility, and mental precision—not overwhelming force. If isolated from allies or overwhelmed by heavy-hitting opponents, she can be overpowered.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
"The Jedi taught me serenity, the Sith taught me survival. But neither taught me how to live. That, I had to learn bleeding, alone."
"The Jedi taught me serenity, the Sith taught me survival. But neither taught me how to live. That, I had to learn bleeding, alone."
Niva'ri née Kael'zin, of the Kael'zin Family, a noble bloodline on Zeltros known for its centuries-old ties to diplomacy, art, and influence. Her early childhood was a tapestry of luxury, affection, and legacy—a palace raised on velvet and veiled secrets. But the Veyhri name carried not just wealth, but latent Force sensitivity that manifested in her and several of her ancestors. The Jedi took notice. At the age of six, Maelari was quietly taken from her family estate—not kidnapped, not stolen, but offered as a symbol of peace and galactic participation. The Jedi Order promised a life of service and structure. And so, the vibrant colors of Zeltron society were replaced by the gray walls of the Jedi Temple.
In the Temple, she struggled.Her Zeltron nature—deep empathy, heightened emotional resonance, and cultural connection to sensation—conflicted with the Jedi's strictures of detachment and suppression. She absorbed their teachings with grace and discipline, but always carried an internal storm. Her emotions were never her enemy—they were her compass, and denying them hollowed her out. Eventually, she was denied knighthood. Not for failure, but for being "unsuitable." The Council claimed her path lay elsewhere. Disillusioned and hurt, she drifted from the Order. When the war escalated, she was left untethered, an exile twice over—from her family, and from the only structure she'd ever known.
In her aimless wandering, Maelari crossed paths with Darth Varex, a powerful Sith who initially posed as a protector and patron. He was taken by her beauty, her rare emotional awareness, and her ability to sense deception before words were ever spoken. To him, she was both tool and trophy. For years, she served as his companion—a deeply toxic relationship in which her mind and identity were slowly twisted. He tried to remake her into something obedient. But he could never quite break her will. Her natural empathy became a double-edged sword—she understood the darkness in him better than he understood himself, and it was that which eventually broke the illusion. She escaped, nearly killed in the process, and went underground. Now with deep Force sensitivity, combat instinct, and insider knowledge of both Jedi and Sith, she was no longer the child of Zeltros.
When she met Tarre, it wasn't love at first sight. It was recognition. She saw a man not unlike herself: shaped by war, driven by purpose, hardened by necessity. But unlike the Sith who had kept her chained in decadence and manipulation, Tarre offered her respect, trust, and above all—a place to build. Their dynamic is unlike most. Where Tarre is iron, Veyra is tempered flame—passionate but measured. Her aristocratic grace hides a battlefield mind. Her time with the Jedi gave her a spiritual backbone, even if she rejects doctrine. Her survival of Sith bondage gives her a raw edge and insights Tarre has come to rely on.
She is not just his Companion—she is his equal, advisor, and mirror.
