  The Making of An Assassin​
  
  Tigris was born in 48 BBY on Atrisia. Her parents emigrated to Recopia. Like other unfortunate children on that planet with a connection to the Force, Tigris was kidnapped as a youngling by the Seyugi Dervishes, a mysterious Dark Side Force coven of assassins. Raised and trained by the Seyugi, Tigris became a devoted member of the cult and a skilled assassin.
  
  Shortly before the Clone Wars, the Jedi hunted the Seyugi to near extinction. The few surviving Seyugi returned to their homeworld where they froze themselves in carbonite. They remained hidden and guarded by their descendants, the Mallif monks.
  
  
  Unleashed in An Unfamilar Galaxy
  ​
  Not long after their hibernation started, one of those frozen Dervishes, Tigris, was smuggled away and sold by a corrupt Mallif monk before the New Republic destroyed the Seyugi in their carbonite sleep. For centuries, Tigris' carbonite form was a prized ornament for crime lords and nefarious governors. Eventually, she came into the possession of a Hutt. A disgruntled servant eager to get revenge finally released Tigris from her hibernation. She killed her liberator and escaped.
  
  Resourceful and determined, Tigris overcame severe hibernation sickness and a lack of knowledge of the modern galaxy to become a highly sought-after spy, sabatuer and assassin. But the galaxy was strange and lonely for the displaced Seyugi Dervish. She began to suffer night terrors about her violent past, and without any support system, became increasingly violent, cruel and hateful. Inside she was a dry husk of a person.
  
  
  Exposed to Light​
  
  Then she encountered a Jedi named Taam Moghul . Tigris suffered defeat at his hand, but he spared her life. This wandering jedi was able to leverage Tigris' despair and turned her to the Light. He convinced her to follow the Jedi path. She was delivered for training as a padawan to the Jakku Jedi Enclave.
  
  
• 
  Tigris' stature is slender with only subtle curves but she possesses a physique of strong sinews and whipcord muscle wrapped around solid bone. Her body is honed to move as quick and with as much sting as a lightwhip.
  
  Her features are sharp and angular, with dark almond-shaped eyes framed in raven black hair, cut short. Most of her tanned body is covered in mysterious tattoos.
  
  Never comfortable in the confines of full robes, Tigris prefers sleeveless and slitted robes that allow her limbs freedom of movement, or garments more suited to stealth. Casually, she prefers light, unobtrusive clothing. She will always be wearing an Echo Stone on a leather thong around her neck, and a bracelet around her right wrist.

  NOTABLE SKILLS
  The majority of Tigris' most useful skills were learned as a Seyugi Dervish assassin, below are the most notable.
  
  Seyugi Martial Art Form: This forgotten form of unarmed combat was said by survivors to be a "beautiful dance of death." This is how the Seyugi earned the name Dervishes. A Seyugi assassin could kill with nothing more than this lethal form of combat. Tigris is an expert in this practice.
  
  Anatomical Strikes: The Seyugi studied the anatomy of a variety of species in order to be able to strike at major nerve clusters for greater debilitating damage in combat.
  
  Stealth: Infiltration was the forte of the Seyugi, infiltrating a location with remarkable speed and stealth. Intense training and the use of the Force renders Tigris a mere shadow when employing this ancient art.
  
  The Force: Tigris is highly skilled in the use of the Force for concealment, deception and physical enhancement, all learned as a Seyugi in their nefarious work. Those that drew upon the Dark Side have been abandoned. She is now learning new skills under Jedi tutelage.
  
  Lightsaber skills:
  Lightsaber style - Jakku Katas
  Lightsaber style - Ataru (Form IV)
  
  STRENGTHS:
  Physical Prowess: Through intense physical discipline and the Force, Tigris' body is kept in pique condition. She is agile, strong and acrobatic.
  
  Mental Control: Patience, concealment of emotions, avoidance of random acts of violence and an aversion to chaos was a trademark of the Seyugi that Tigris continues to practice.
  
  Dark Side Sensitive: Tigris' former connection to the Dark Side makes it easier for her to sense the Dark Side in persons or things.
  
  WEAKNESSES:
  Anachronism: Tigris' displacement in time has made acclimation to the modern galaxy difficult. This can lead to confusion when it comes to understanding modern colloquially, social references and mention of events that took place in history.
  
  Night-Terrors: Tigris is still haunted by gruesome nightmares of her victims tearing at her flesh. They are so life-like and traumatic that it shakes her to her core, almost to the point of incapacitation.
  
  Dark Side Sensitive: Tigris' former connection to the Dark Side could also make her more vulnerable to giving place to it.
