Nahuni

Overview
''"Don't take it personally, my dear. Well, if it's possible to not take a saber in your guts any other way than that." -'' Nahuni after a duel with Ceth Bas'la, a Sith Apprentice

Lord Nahuni is one of Sith Preservation's Elite Guards and a close associate of Darth Argehar, the Architect. She acts like his right hand and helps her Master to oversee and train Force users joining Preservation's ranks.

Background
As a daughter of pair of humble, but absolutely loyal ot the Empire Dantooine farmers, Nahuni got taught to support and glorify Empire's every action before she was even able to express it properly. Her road to power started on the day of her 10th birthday. Then, first time in her life, she finally showed the sign of what her parents were hoping for so much - their daughter demonstrated her Force connection, accidentally making her chair to fly across their dining room. There could be no greater honor for them as loyal citizens of the Sith Empire, so quickly after this event, Nahuni's journey to Korriban was arranged, introducing her to the mysterious, all-powerful Sith Order.

Girl's first days in the Academy weren't great, however. As she arrived, she quickly found out she has been sheltered from the cruel, cold reality, which was that Empire, and especially it's most prominent part, is in fact merciless towards it's members, constantly demanding more engagement, more training, more dedication... As the other acolytes began to exploit her unawareness and try to hinder her own progress, which she tried so hard to push forward, Nahuni's head got filled with immense anger and resentment towards her parents, as she took it they were responsible for her being now called "weak", or "too soft to be a Sith". Suddenly, an understanding came into her mind, as she was contemplating one of her daily lectures, that this could be in fact the key to her survival. She embraced her emotions, letting them become a shield and a source of strenght she needed so much. This was her breaking point. Quickly after her discovery Nahuni began to take the fight to the others around her, instead of letting them to get over her head. She wasn't that silent, awkward person anymore, the person who couldn't punch back or was unable to emerge victorious from a banter. The Sith Code helped her to understand her feelings, and her feelings helped with embracing the Code. There was finally the Strength alongside the Passion.

After that, her status in the Academy started to improve. She was able to focus more on her combat training, on honing her Force abilities, and it turned out that despite not being so talented as other acolytes she trained with, her newfound charm and manipulation skills allowed her to somehow always come out on the top in most situations. This strategy eventually paid off very well - at the last year of her training, Nahuni, now being fifteen years old, got noticed by a Sith Lord named Renguil, who had a strong approval for her deception skills and he decided to take the girl as his Apprentice.

For the next few years, Nahuni loyally followed her Master, engulfing the knowledge he decided to share with her. Lord Renguil turned out to be a very prominent scholar... But a poor tactician. Nahuni's mentor later decided to associate himself with mysterious organisation, called Sith Preservation. His apprentice had no other choice, than to follow him, finally ending up fighting alongside Renguil and his allies in a massive, bloody battle, later known as the Battle of Ashfall Pass. Unfortunately, girl's master wasn't prepared for the true horror that Darth Nexuth decided to bestow upon them. Before the Preservation's leader unleashed his fearsome, devastating scythe of lightning, Lord Renguil and part of his squad tried rushed forward, as the Sith commanded his Apprentice to stay behind with wounded troops, to her ultimate disappointment. However, as soon as she saw Renguil and his fellow warriors being literally evaporated from existance with constantly growing lightning strike, she forgot about her discontent and she began to run for her life, as the lightning was quickly and inevitably moving towards her. Then, all out of sudden, everything stopped. To her immense astonishment, the battlefield went quiet, and Darth Nexuth was no more... And so was her Master.

After the Battle, remaining forces of the Empire got quickly regrouped by Darth Jemorri, who decided to take Sith Preservation's reins after Nexuth's downfall. As Nahuni had nowhere to go now, Renguil was dead and she was still terrified by the devastation she just witnessed, she decided to stay with the sad remnants of what was known before as one of the best organized forces in the Empire. To her surprise, not long after those events she got noticed by one of the other Sith, and asked what's she trying to get, still sticking around. She couldn't find a suitable answer, then, all out of sudden, Darth Jemorri himself came to her aid - notifying her, that there's someone who will take care of her training from now on. It was even bigger shock, when she finally met her new Master - the young, freshly nominated Sith Lord, called Argehar. It was clearly a huge jump between an old, stoic Renguil and this man, seemingly a hot-tempered warrior, who instead of letting the Imperial principles take their roots deep into her heart, started to encourage her to ask questions, find more than one right way to percieve things, to be obedient.. but independent. Nahuni quickly found out that Argehar's way was just balancing at the edge of Sith ways, as he taught her to care more about how does she fight more than the victory itself, which wasn't really a common perspective among the Sith.

For the next years, Nahuni remained within Preservation's ranks and eventually got promoted to a Lord, and then, to a member of Preserver Guard, after her Master got recognition as a Darth and Preservation's Architect.

Personality
As someone who realized at the very young age what exactly a woman could be capable of in some matters, Nahuni's overall goal seems to be almost always to seek some fun, or a challenge, especially around men. However, while appearing playful, or flirty, she would still hold her true intentions and motives as a knife, well hidden behind her back, being revealed just when it's too late for her target.

Being well-trained in the mastery of lies, it's very hard to actually witness her more settled down part, the one she usually reserved for the people who somehow managed to get her permission to cross the thick, impenetrable barrier she had built around herself. Nahuni can be very loyal and compassionate, however she rarely lets that side of her to surface, mostly because it would be simply putting her own, personal interests over the unending fight for the Empire's survival... Which she would never do.

Skills and abilities
In terms of combat, the strongest advantage she could get is her dedication to polishing her lightsaber skills. Although not being a superior melee fighter, Nahuni is still able to pull out a proper example of utilizing Form VI for all of her combat needs. She also has an overall good, strong connection to her own emotions, which makes it easy for her to manipulate the Force into her Dark Side powers at ease, almost as if she wasn't putting any effort to it.
