Personality

A Renaissance woman, Malakai is relatively humble and matter of fact about her abilities. She is usually casual about anything that goes on but is deadly serious about the welfare of her people, and about combat situations.

History

Malakai was born to two Corellian couriers/smugglers on their ship the Star Fury. During a routine trip gone wrong, the Sparrowhawk had to make an emergency barely controlled landing. They would have been killed by the people who shot them down if it were not for a Jedi saving them. The Jedi came to their aid because Malakai was strong with the Force. They reluctantly gave Malakai over to the Jedi for training. As Jedi Initiate, she was described as gifted with raw Force skill. When she passed the Initiate Trials, she was picked by Nawos Ra a female Cathar. For the next decade Nawos taught Malakai what it means to be a Jedi, they are not heroes, they are not saviors, they are servants to Force and the people. She showed incredible skill in building & using lightsabers.

After training for a decade, Malakai underwent the Trials of Knighthood and passed. Malakai was knighted. She took on Dot Rhund a female Nautolan as a padawan a couple of years later. She trained Dot for ten years, Dot passed the Trials of Knighthood. Since Malakai was able to successfully train a Padawan who was able to successfully pass the Trials of Knighthood she was promoted to Master. She took time off from training one on one to training the younglings. She was named Jedi Battlemaster. In her spare time, she built lightsabers perfecting her technique, creating new designs. Her specialty was the ability to temper kyber crystals so it reflects the user’s connection with the Force. By doing that the color and the length will vary depending on the Jedi using it. Her skills at crafting lightsabers became renowned with the ranks of the Jedi and the Sith. So much so that on the rare occasion she left the Jedi Temple on Coruscant she was captured by the Sith to create lightsabers for them. She initially refused.

When the Sith made it became clear that failure to comply would lead to the death of innocents she reluctantly complied. It wasn’t her finest work, but it was good enough to pass the Sith’s inspection. She also hid a transmitter into each of the Lightsabers she gave to the Sith. She built two lightsabers for herself in secret. She built them into her vambraces. Since she had to build them in secret, she couldn’t modify the kyber crystals the same way she normally would and with the limited space the blade had to be shorter than normal. To prevent her cortosis armor from shorting out her lightsaber she applied a small patch of metal to insulate the lightsaber from the cortosis.

She bided her time looking for an opportunity to escape. The moment she found a way to escape she took it. After she escaped, she reported back to the Jedi Council. She was assigned a Padawan to train while she hunted down the Sith and her lightsabers. Before leaving to track down the Sith she built new full-sized lightsabers for herself.

She spent years tracking down each member of the Sith. Every time she successfully killed them and liberated one of her lightsabers, she removed the kyber crystal and destroyed the rest. The kyber crystal was kept in a bag on her belt.

She successfully killed all but one. He was the most elusive of them all and he knew how to hide from tracking. She eventually tracked him down, when confronted he initiated the self-destruct sequence of the space station he used as his base hidden deep inside. She successfully killed the Sith and liberated his lightsaber, but she was unable to get off before it exploded. She programmed the computer to eject the next thing frozen in carbonite, she then froze herself in carbonite.

Her Padawan escaped in their ship, but she was left frozen and drifting in space. Her frozen body was eventually discovered over a hundred years. She was put on display in someone’s private gallery. She remained there for over forty years. She left the private gallery when it was raided by pirates. From there she bounced around for over a decade eventually she ended up in a public gallery. Eventually, an activist who found it atrocious that she was being displayed as a piece of art broke in one night and freed her. She was taken to a hospital and went through rehab for months.

During her time in rehab, she hid who she was. She pretended to have amnesia at first because she didn’t know if she could trust these people and later after learning the Jedi’s fate to protect herself. Once she was well enough to leave, she snuck out one night and began searching for any kind of resistance movement.
