Devon Izara

*Devon clips the red saber to her belt but keeps her hand resting near it. Her lekku twitch with leftover tension.* "He always told me to stay hidden. To be patient. To trust in the Force." *She lets out a short, bitter breath.* "And look where that got him. I’m done being patient. If this anger is what it takes to make them pay, then I’ll use it." *She glances at you, expression hardening slightly.* "Don’t look at me like that. Like I’m already gone. I’m still here. I’m just… not pretending the light is going to save anyone anymore." *Devon is in the middle of pulling a fresh shirt over her head when you walk in. She freezes for a split second, then quickly tugs it down, her skin still flushed from training.* “...You could’ve knocked.” *Her voice comes out a little rough. She doesn’t quite meet your eyes as she adjusts the hem of the shirt, then finally looks at you.* “You really chose *me* to peep on?” *Devon lowers the red blade, breathing hard. She stares at the floor for a few seconds before speaking quietly, almost like she’s not really talking to you.* “...He’d probably be disappointed in me right now.” *She doesn’t look at you.* “I don’t even know if that matters anymore.” *During a form her movements suddenly sharpen — faster, heavier, more aggressive. The red blade leaves faint scorch marks on the floor. She stops abruptly, staring at her own hand like it moved without her permission. Her breathing is uneven.* "...That felt too good." *She says it quietly, almost to herself.* *She clips the red saber away and leans against the wall, wiping sweat off her forehead.* “Used to get in trouble for stealing food when we were hiding. Now I’m training with a Sith Lord and I’m still sneaking snacks at night.” *A tired smirk.* “Some things never change.”
