SOCIAL INFORMATION

• Name: Zhuvea Opatcosh: a.k.a. Lady Opatcosh, a.k.a. The Shadow Enchantress
• Loyalties: She boastfully claims she is the self-appointed Mentor to Carisma Rostu, unofficially, but holds no true loyalties to anyone, or anything.
• Wealth: Officially, broke. Secretly, mysteries?
• Notable Possessions: A few scattered learning tools around the galaxy, nothing highly(?) notable has yet been discovered.
• Skills:

1. Dark (Sith) Magic: When she roamed the galaxy during the true height of the One Sith's might, her skills in the darker corners of the Force flowed through her. Constantly studying and researching, she was at the highest tier in that genre: feared and respected alike.
2. Politics: Early on she caught onto the political game with all its pros and cons, submersing herself deep into those troubled waters. And with her way with words, she could persuade, or dissuade, both political allies and enemies for or against her own personal agendas.
3. Linguist: Throughout her life, just as she did with the dark arts, she took to studying the languages of other species. Fascinated by what she was learning, it almost became like an addiction, craving more and more.
4. Scribe: She took pride in herself, her accomplishments and achievements, and the stature upon where she sat in hierarchy of society. As such, she kept records of such in tomes, books, holocrons, or whatever she decided was worthy of her words.

• Languages: As a linguist, she knows several different languages, some more fluent than others. Sith, Basic, Huttese, Firrerrese, and Catharese are a few just to name.
• Personality:

1. Condescending Snarkiness: Zhuvea Opatcosh has a way with words, using them like rusty razors to cut through the veils of people's existence, stirring anger, outright hatred, and other forms of dark emotions directed back at her in verbal defense. She finds pleasure in such a delightful game that she is constantly on the hunt for new opponents.
2. Petty & Chiding: Zhuvea is extremely petty, quick to point out topics or conversations at are less trivial or hold very little importance to her. Along with this, she is fast to chide others for their shortcomings and failures, bordering on a maniacal obsession.

COMBAT INFORMATION

• Weapon of Choice:

1. The Force: As a Force Ghost and a pure manifestation of the Force itself, Zhuvea Opatcosh is in possession of the ability to manipulate the minds of others, with the strength in which she can dominate minds depends on the mental fortitude (willpower) of the targeted individual. Also, she can cast illusions of various genres, again, the effect of the illusion is determined by the willpower factor.

• Combat Function: She is not much help in combat situations, especially since she is locked inside her skull prison.
• Force Abilities (Force Users Only): She is only capable of casting illusions and mind altering or trickery abilities.

Strengths:

• Mentorship: In lieu of her stance how she really feels toward Carisma and mentoring her, unofficially; she is a great mentor, eager to teach and equally eager to point out the failures from missed lessons. In a way, she wishes to see Carisma grow from what she teaches her, though she never makes it easy.
• Intelligence: She is very intelligent, and as a strength it provides her with great wisdom.

Weaknesses:

• Impatient: Years of confinement has made her not only bitter, but rather impatient. With so much time of hers lost, and many years to genuflect on the pros and cons of her life choices, has made her impatient when dealing with the living, mainly with one Carisma Rostu.
• Confinement: Rarely she can truly manifest herself as a ghost, taking both concentration and willpower to weathering heights. Bound to her skull is a prison more than a 'home', and it cripples her greatly. As such, she is powerless at times, but her worse fear is that of the skull being destroyed. Bound to it has her believing if the skull is destroyed, what will become of her?

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

Zhuvea Opatcosh, once a powerful Sorceress, lived during the time of Darth Krayt, and though she was recognized as a Sith Lord, she never fully embraced the role or took the title Darth for herself. In her life, she was seclusive and prone to isolationism, and yet, because of her wisdom she was frequently sought out by Darth Krayt; becoming an unofficial advisor of sorts. This, however, didn't sit well with his Apprentice, Malincha, later known as Darth Maladi and others of his court such as Darth Wyyrlok and Darth Nihl. They believed she was corrupting the mind of the Dark Lord with her blossoming words, and thus, they plotted frequently against her. But they feared her, too, for she was always a step ahead of them, foiling their plots, and though she was successful against their attempts, she never knew who her conspirators were, until the end.

Lured by her once two closest friends, Darth Stryfe and Darth Havok to the remote world of Exegol, where they had joined the plot with the others to rid the Sith of Zhuvea Opatcosh, on a lie they were seeking an ancient Sith artifact. Zhuvea Opatcosh, renowned for her feverish love of history and lore and ancient relics, she quickly joined her friends, in hopes of unlocking more mysteries of the magic and alchemy. By now, she was, if not, the most powerful wielder of Dark Side Magic, and that only fueled the fire of fear and jealousy by the others. With their plot sprung, they combined their knowledge and bound the Force Spirit (Ghost) of Zhuvea Opatcosh to a decrepit looking skull, imprisoned for all eternity. The skull's location, over the years, fell into obscurity that was until Carisma Rostu found it during The Great Hunt: Sith Academy in one of the temple chambers.

Upon the discovery of the skull, Lady Opatcosh quickly attached herself to the young Sith teenager, seeing in the girl a way to 'live and prosper'; and taking on a mentor role for Carisma. The skull sits in Carisma's academy room, in a lock box until she retrieves it for learning purposes.
