- Combat Function: Quatra is a frontline combatant and skirmisher. She excels at disrupting enemy formations, hunting high-value targets, and using the environment to her advantage.

Strengths:
- Unshakeable Loyalty: Once her allegiance is given, it is absolute. She will follow Matsu Ike into any battle without hesitation or question.
- Master Infiltrator:Her ability to vanish into the Force and move unseen makes her an unparalleled spy and scout, capable of operating deep behind enemy lines.
- Exceptional combat prowess with a lightsaber.

Weaknesses:
- Pragmatic Brutality: Her solutions are often violently direct. She struggles with the Jedi Code's tenets of peace and defense, preferring to eliminate threats permanently, which can cause diplomatic incidents.
- Tribal Outsider:She never fully shakes her identity as a warrior of the Begeren First. This creates an innate cultural barrier with mainstream Jedi, making integration difficult and fostering a sense of isolation.
- Struggles with trust due to her divided loyalties.
- Overconfidence in her abilities can lead to reckless decisions.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Quatra was born into the Yaaxil, a reclusive and fiercely independent sub-species of Cathar who rejected modern galactic society. Their tribe, the "Begeren First," settled on a remote world in the Outer Rim, believing themselves the true guardians of a forgotten Force tradition. Living in harsh, arid mesas, their culture was built on strength, survival, and a deep suspicion of outsiders, or "ariadne."
From infancy, Quatra was trained as a warrior. As a child, she learned to move silently through canyons carrying heavy packs; by adolescence, she was a proficient hunter and saboteur. Her powerful connection to the Force was channeled not for meditation, but for war enhancing her senses, cloaking her presence, and granting her brutal strength.
The Begeren First sustained themselves by crafting exquisite weapons and hiring out their warriors as mercenaries to off-worlders, all while remaining hidden behind the planet's treacherous storms. In her late teens, Quatra grew disillusioned with her tribe's stagnant, insular ways. She briefly left, falling in with a Sith Warlord who promised her a greater purpose. She served as his enforcer until a confrontation with a Jedi Master made her realize the cost of her path. She turned on the Warlord, thwarting his plans, and returned home, chastened but wiser.
Her return coincided with the discovery of the Begeren First by the wider galaxy. A Jedi mission, tracking a Sith relic, stumbled upon their hidden fortress. The ensuing conflict attracted the attention of a vengeful Dark Side entity, which laid waste to the Yaaxil's home. Blaming the Jedi for this catastrophe, the surviving tribesfolk, led by Quatra's elders, swore vengeance and aligned with a Dark Side adept who promised them a new home and the power to destroy their enemies.
Though young, Quatra argued against waging war on the entire Jedi Order, believing it to be suicide. She was ignored. The tribe launched an assault on a Jedi outpost, only to be betrayed by their new ally, who planned to sacrifice both the Yaaxil and the Jedi to fuel his own power. Facing annihilation, the two forces forged an uneasy truce to survive.
It was during this desperate fight that Quatra first encountered Matsu Ike. She witnessed Matsu's immense power, but also her unique, practical philosophy that resonated deeply with Quatra's own worldview. Matsu saw strength as a tool for preservation, not just destruction a concept foreign to the Yaaxil.
Seeing a kindred spirit and a path to a strength greater than her tribe's narrow-minded vengeance, Quatra made a choice. She turned her back on the Begeren First completely. She approached Matsu Ike not as an enemy, but as a supplicant. She offered her skills as an infiltrator and warrior to the Silver Jedi, with her sole, true loyalty pledged to Matsu personally.
She now serves as a master operative within the Silver Jedi, a ghost within their ranks. Officially, she is a reformed warrior finding a new path. Unofficially, she is Matsu Ike's hand in the shadows, a lethal instrument of pragmatic will, forever balancing her brutal upbringing with the loyalty she owes to the one who offered her a true purpose.
