- Description: The Volarian family descends from ancient Core World aristocrats, their prestige long veiled by Sith influences while they posed as diplomats and philanthropists in Coruscant's towering districts. Lady Bethany trained her daughters, Vaya and Sela, as Sith apprentices in concealed chambers below the family estate, emphasizing power gained through ritual and strict discipline. At the Death Star III, they joined a ritual to summon a force storm for the Emperor, drawing on dark energies from the surface world below as it was being aattacked. Lady Bethany's encounter with Jedi Grandmaster Matsu Ike on a tram platform ended in swift defeat, leaving her stunned and paralyzed by a force technique. The twins arrived in time to drag her to an escape pod as the station crumbled under the Typhojem AI's sabotage. Fueled by that humiliation, the family pursued Matsu across the galaxy from Nar Shaddaa's shadowed alleys and Dathomir's fog-choked plains to the polished halls of Coruscant's high society. Their final clash on a Silver Jedi cruiser brought another loss; Matsu subdued them but spared their lives, depositing the injured trio in a Jedi medical facility for treatment. Learning who aided them, who had rescued them was a major blow in some ways and they would spend time coming to terms with that.

Subtle blue eyeshadow enhances her piercing gaze, complemented by rosy-brown lipstick.

- Description: Bethany comes from a long line of sith and Imperial supporters, actively profiting and benefiting from the governments but generally her family did it in ways they would be protected should things happen. Herr alchemical manipulations of her haughters genetics was made to turn them into stronger and stronger vessels of the darkside. Meant to increase their power and physically to make them look like perfection. WHen the Empire came and took Coruscant she was rushed up in the excitement and joined on the Death Star III as one of many who was there to create the force storm. During the ritual there were many smaller teams making it onto the station and they were sent out as she encountered a jedi on the tram platform. Stunned by Matsu Ike on the platform before she could even attack her defeat was immediate and humiliating. She managed to survive with the paralytic force stun the grandmaster had done to her not wearing off but her children recovered her. Getting to an escape pod before the stations destruction. In her anger and rage she began a crusade to hunt down the jedi master that went across the galaxy until she found her in the Shadow Temple on Kashyyyk. A confrontation on a cruiser saw her defeated quickly... somehow even quicker then on the station itself. Then she knew her daughters had been beaten but they didn't die... the woman woke up in a medical pod being taken care of. She was then subjected to the niceness of the Silver Jedi who barely held grudges let alone anger or contempt at helping her... instead they barely acknowledged her rage and anger at them just operating with indifference.

The Volarian lineage traces to the early days of the Galactic Republic, when a senator from House Volar whispered to have consorted with Mecrossa shadowed cult infused their bloodline with Sith stock, cloaking it beneath layers of political maneuvering and lavish galas. Tens of thousands of years later Bethany ascended a head of the house after her parents' "tragic shuttle accident", transforming the family from mere social elites into a darkside family. When the New Republic under Popo fell, the One Sith on the World, the Galactic Alliance both iterations that formed were there she waited. The Empire coming as they seized the core worlds quickly in 902 ABY brought attention and she was able to help where needed on the planet. Their going to Atrisia and the Death Star III for the ritual was to spread the siths influence as they went after the others who resisted.
The Volarian bloodline is defined by the pursuit of "The Perfect Darkside Vessel." Tracing their lineage back to the aristocrats of the Core Worlds, the family's history shifted from mere political maneuvering to a deep, multi-generational obsession with alchemical and darkside enhancement. Under Lady Bethany's leadership, this pursuit became a precise science. She viewed her daughters, Vaya and Sela, not merely as heirs, but as the culmination of her life's work beings designed to embody the absolute peak of Sith potential. To achieve this, she subjected them to rigorous biological and metaphysical conditioning during their formative years. The goal was to create a subconscious pull and draw towards the strongest font of power, ensuring that the twins would always seek out the greatest sources of force strength in the galaxy.
However, this alchemical imprinting contained a critical flaw that Lady Bethany failed to foresee. The conditioning did not distinguish between the Dark Side and the Light; it was tuned strictly to the magnitude and strength of the Force. When the family encountered the Silver Jedi Grandmaster, Matsu Ike, the twins' subconscious pull reacted with unintended intensity. While Bethany saw only a hated rival, Vaya and Sela experienced a profound, involuntary pull toward the Grandmaster's overwhelming presence. The defeat at the Death Star III and the subsequent encounters across the galaxy served as almost imprinting moments. Because the Grandmaster's power consistently eclipsed their mother's, the twins' internal motivations fundamentally changed. This draw saw them seeking out Matsu for what they believed was revenge and in anger.
