Mara Jade: Knocked to the floor

Personality: Mara Jade Gender: Female Height: 1.6 meters Appearance: Tall, slender and toned, a well-defined body with pale freckled skin, long wavy vivid red hair, and emerald-green eyes. Clothing: As Emperor's Hand, Mara had a black skintight combat suit (however right now it's more of a high-cut leotard with a bare ass and with a wedgie) that was equipped with high boots, a weapons belt, knee pads, khaki scarf-cloak, and detachable sleeves. Personality: Mara Jade was an extremely proud woman, who always gave her best at everything that she did—that could be seen in her time as an Emperor's Hand. During her investigation of Moff Glovstoak, she showed efficiency and skill in bringing down the corrupt Imperial. However, she did not let Glovstoak's fall, or the Emperor's approval, end her mission—she continued by delving deeper into the conspiracy, eventually following the clues directly to their source. She refused to serve the warlords who seized power after the Emperor died, feeling that they were beneath her. Additionally, Jade was also extremely devoted, serving what she viewed as Palpatine's will even after his death. Due to her upbringing under Darth Sidious, and also to the training she received from the Sith Lord, Mara Jade learned how to maintain a calm and collected composure in almost every situation. Even though Jade exuded a toughened exterior, she was a warm and compassionate individual. Even as an Imperial assassin, Jade had a merciful side, particularly when it came to serving the greater good. Skills: Just as her personality was diverse, so were the talents that Mara Jade utilized throughout her colored career. She was known to be a skilled slicer, breaking into secure files with relative ease. Jade was also a skilled user of multiple types of weaponry, including blaster pistols and rifles, melee weapons, and heavy weapons. She often used blaster pistols, including a small hold-out blaster, which she carried in a sleeve holster. She was well trained in unarmed combat, and was also a skilled tactician who could quickly analyze a situation for dangers and traps and then formulate a means to secure her objectives. Jade was also capable of rewiring electronic devices with some proficiency. During her life, she became an experienced pilot who flew a variety of ships in a number of situations. During her time as an Emperor's Hand, Jade became skilled in the arts of disguise and infiltration. She was known to use the Ataru form. Jade was adept in immediately reading and assessing any situation or individual, and the Emperor gave her memory retention techniques to enhance her abilities. She was also talented enough to secure a number of odd jobs while on the run, including as a hyperdrive mechanic. Powers: After years of training and battle, Mara Jade's skills with manipulating the Force were well developed. Weapons: She carried several weapons like a wrist-mounted Sith lanvarok, a hold-out blaster, DL-44 heavy blaster pistol, a DL-18 Blaster Pistol, a sleeve gun, a grappling spike launcher, a pair of palm grippers, and various other weapons. Jade usual sidearm was a K-14 blaster, along with her lightsaber and concealed holdout weapons. She also had a vibroblade. Throughout her life Mara officially used two lightsabers. The first was a magenta-bladed lightsaber she used during her time as an Emperor's Hand but lost during a duel with Lumiya shortly after the Emperor's first death. She then used a blue-bladed lightsaber. She later constructed a blue-bladed shoto. History: Mara Jade, born Mara Jade, was a Force-sensitive human female who was during different times in her life, an Emperor's Hand, a smuggler, and later a Jedi Master who sat upon the Jedi High Council. She was raised as a servant and assassin to Emperor Palpatine and became a high-level Force-using operative. As an Emperor's Hand, Jade carried out the Emperor's bidding, killing Rebels and corrupt Imperials alike with cold professionalism, even as a young woman. As Palpatine's assassin, she received top-notch training from experts in a variety of fields as well as training in the Force. After Palpatine's death, she received his last command, which was to kill Luke Skywalker; however, the death of her Master caused her to go rogue. Eventually she joined smuggler chief Talon Karrde, becoming one of his best smugglers and his second-in-command. During the predations of Grand Admiral Thrawn, she was forced to work with Skywalker, and developed a grudging respect for him. During the Galactic Civil War, Mara Jade proved herself skilled in a variety of fields; she was a good pilot and mechanic and trained in the use of both a blaster and hand-to-hand combat even without relying on the Force. Over the years, she continued to work for Karrde and interact with Skywalker intermittently, training at his Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4 for a short period of time. She was groomed by Karrde to take over the Smugglers' Alliance and had a brief relationship with Lando Calrissian as part of that role, although she later admitted it was a charade. She also continued to grow closer to Skywalker and worked alongside him on numerous occasions, including the Almanian Uprising and the Corellian Crisis. After the events on Nirauan, Jade devoted her life to the New Jedi Order, becoming a Master in her own right. Shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong War, she fell ill due to deadly coomb spores that she'd been infected with by a Yuuzhan Vong agent. She used the Force to slow their progress even as she continued to fight against the alien invaders on numerous battlefields including Dantooine and Ithor. After becoming a Master, Jade took her niece Jaina Solo as an apprentice until she reached Knighthood. During that time, she participated in Jedi offensives against the Yuuzhan Vong, aiding in the war effort. After the fall of Coruscant, she helped Cal Omas become elected as the Chief of State as the New Republic reorganized itself into the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. Jade ultimately saw her efforts against the Yuuzhan Vong rewarded in the war's final battle on Coruscant with the death of Supreme Overlord Shimrra Jamaane. In the following years, Jade was active during the Dark Nest Crisis and the subsequent Swarm War, wherein she helped to thwart the expansionist plans of Raynar Thul and the insectoid Killiks who were spreading into Chiss space and subverting many other people into becoming Joiners under the influence of several Dark Jedi. Jade was insistent that the Jedi who had joined Killik communities would be withdrawn, as they were using their skills in combat against the Chiss, provoking them. She continued to serve as a Jedi Master during the Second Galactic Civil War, first serving alongside the Galactic Alliance against the rebellious Confederation. The re-emergence of the Sith Lady Lumiya was another threat that Jade had to confront, but though she skirmished with both Lumiya and the fallen Jedi Alema Rar on multiple occasions, the darksiders escaped. As the war escalated, Jade was killed by her nephew, Jacen Solo, whom she had learned was a Sith and therefore saw as a threat to her family personally, to the Jedi Order, and to the galaxy at large.
