Brianna Brianna , also known as " The Last Handmaiden , " or simply " Handmaiden , " was a half - Human half - Echani hybrid fighter , and illegitimate daughter to the famous Echani General Yusanis and Jedi Master Arren Kae , who both fought in the Mandalorian Wars . She later served along with her five half - sisters as a handmaiden to Jedi Master Atris in the period following the Jedi Civil War . During her service to Atris at the Jedi Academy on Telos IV , Brianna met Meetra Surik , also known as the Jedi Exile , and was subsequently tasked with accompanying her on her mission to seek out the Jedi Masters who survived the First Jedi Purge . As Surik ' s companion , Brianna helped battle against numerous adversaries , including the Sith Triumvirate . During the journey , Brianna trained Surik in Echani techniques and eventually received Jedi training from Surik in return , becoming one of the first new members of the Jedi Order after the Purge . In accepting such training , however , she broke her oath to Atris . The Jedi Master labeled her a traitor , resulting in a confrontation between Brianna , her sisters and her former master . According to the final predictions of Darth Traya , Brianna would become instrumental in the reconstruction of the Jedi Order and succeed Atris as Jedi historian . Biography . Early life . Brianna was born in 3976 BBY as the result of a forbidden union between General Yusanis and Jedi Master Arren Kae . Yusanis , a master Echani combatant of the Republic world Eshan , was married to another woman to whom he had five daughters , while Kae , as a member of the Jedi Order was forbidden to form strong attachments . Despite these restrictions , the couple began a secret relationship , risking their status by continuing to meet . Despite Kae ' s attempts to keep the affair and Brianna ' s existence a secret , the Jedi Council eventually found out about the situation , and Kae was exiled from the Jedi Order as punishment . Kae later chose to join her former apprentice , Revan , to fight the Mandalorians , who were bent on conquering the Outer Rim . Yusanis joined them , despite the fact that he was responsible for the care of Brianna and his other five daughters . Yusanis and Kae became known as heroes of the conflict , but Kae eventually fell in battle , and Yusanis returned a broken man , abandoning battle to become a senator . He avoided speaking of Kae , leaving Brianna with no memories of her mother . Later , Yusanis ' s old ally Revan declared himself the new Dark Lord of the Sith and turned on the Jedi , starting the Jedi Civil War . He sought to weaken the Republic , and targeted the Republic worlds of Serroco , Corellia and Eshan for destabilization . Revan accomplished his goals by assassinating a senator from each world , and the death of an Echani senator caught Yusanis ' attention . When Yusanis found evidence of the act , he challenged Revan to a duel , but was ultimately slain by the Dark Lord , leaving Brianna an orphan . Sometime after Yusanis ' s death , Brianna and her five half - sisters entered the service of Jedi Master Atris , one of the few Masters who survived the Jedi Civil War . The Jedi Order had been greatly divided and weakened by the war , and further attacks by a resurgent Sith Order after the war ' s conclusion left very few Jedi remaining . Atris hoped to revive the Jedi Order after most of the other Jedi Masters had been killed during one of these attacks on Katarr , and established a secret academy on Telos IV , a planet that had been devastated by Sith forces during the Jedi Civil War . The sisters joined her in the academy and agreed to serve as her handmaiden s , aiding Atris in gathering Jedi artifacts from around the galaxy . At one point during their service , Brianna and her half - sisters swore an oath to Atris that they would never study the teachings of the Jedi , nor receive any instruction from a Jedi ; although Brianna was the only handmaiden who had any Force sensitivity due to her heritage . While Atris knew of Brianna ' s familial lineage , as well as her sensitivity , she never mentioned Brianna ' s potential , and the handmaiden remained ignorant of her innate abilities . The offspring of Echani parents appeared to non - Echani to look identical to their parents , typically the one of the same sex . As such , Brianna resembled her Jedi mother and not Yusanis ' original wife , which distinguished her from her sisters as physical evidence of their father ' s affair . Her father ' s infidelity had brought shame on himself ; and , after his death at the hands of Revan , that shame was thrust upon her , as the Echani believed that betrayal and shame were passed down through bloodlines . Despite working hard to disprove this stigma that followed her all through her young life , Brianna was branded the " Last of the Handmaidens " by her sisters , meaning she was the least of them , in terms of worth and combat ability . As a result , Brianna felt she was unworthy of bearing any signs of individuality and renounced her name in favor of her title . Meetra Surik ' s arrival . The Jedi Academy was secluded in the isolated polar regions of Telos IV , and consequently , the academy remained unnoticed , even when the Republic began the Telosian Restoration Project in an effort to restore the ecosystem of the devastated planet . The project was headed by the Ithorian Chodo Habat and his herd , and a massive space station was built in orbit as a staging area for the project . When Atris later learned that the planet Peragus II , the main source of the station ' s fuel had been destroyed and that the Telos Security Force was holding suspects in the planet ' s destruction , who had recently arrived in the system , she ordered Brianna to investigate . Acting covertly , Brianna sneaked onto Citadel Station and stole the suspects ' ship , the " Ebon Hawk " , as well as their droid , T3 - M4 , which was aboard as a result of the ship being impounded after arriving at Citadel Station shortly after the destruction of Peragus II . Brianna then brought the ship to the secret academy where Atris hoped to look into the events surrounding the destruction of the planet . Atris was unaware that the new owner of the ship was a former friend from the Jedi Order , Meetra Surik , also known as the Jedi Exile , another hero of the Mandalorian Wars who was exiled for her defiance of the Jedi Council and her decision to join Revan in the war . Surik was released from custody when it was discovered that Peragus II had been destroyed as a result of her escape from the Sith Lord Darth Sion , and she began a search for her stolen ship . Surik , along with companions Kreia and Atton Rand , whom she had met on Peragus II , eventually located the starship with some help from a technician of the Restoration Project and entered the academy . Brianna , flanked by two of her sisters , confronted the group and demanded their surrender . Surik agreed so as to avoid a conflict , and Brianna escorted her to meet with Atris . Atris had been one of the masters who decided on Surik ' s punishment for her involvement in the Mandalorian Wars , and was not pleased to see her again . After a charged discussion over Surik ' s seeming unrepentant attitude towards her actions in defying the Council , she informed Atris of the Sith ' s involvement in the destruction of Peragus II , and offered her aid . Atris suggested she seek out the other surviving Jedi Masters and gather them at the ruined Enclave on Dantooine in order to form a plan of action , and sent Surik away . Brianna was startled to have seen her mistress become so volatile , strengthening her growing belief that the Jedi were not the passionless beings Atris had described them to be . Before Surik departed Telos , Brianna was able to speak to her in private . Brianna was wary of Surik at first , but began to speak more freely when Surik managed to convince her that , contrary to Atris ' s opinion , she had not turned to the dark side of the Force during the Mandalorian Wars . Brianna confessed that she was the only one of her sisters who did not doubt Surik ' s battle prowess and was more receptive to Surik ' s opinion . Brianna also mentioned how she was often distracted by the Jedi teachings Atris had rescued and stored at the academy ; and , as a result , was eager to learn about life as a Jedi . She asked about various details of a Jedi ' s life , including the issue of attachment . Brianna also informed Surik that she always trained to better herself , and they discussed the Echani view of expression of feelings through combat . As one final question , Brianna asked what it was like to feel the Force , and was satisfied by the answers both Surik and Kreia provided . Travels with Meetra Surik . Brianna was ordered by Atris to sneak aboard the " Ebon Hawk " and aid Surik in her mission to find the missing Jedi Masters , a journey which spanned the worlds of Dantooine , Nar Shaddaa , Onderon and Korriban . Additionally , Brianna was to monitor Surik ' s activities for Atris in order to confirm that Surik still served the light side . Brianna revealed herself upon learning Surik had downloaded some of Atris ' records , indignantly protesting what she viewed as theft before composing herself and explaining her orders . While Rand vocally objected to allowing a spy to travel with them , Surik welcomed Brianna to the crew . At this point , however , Brianna was still wary of Surik , as she had been warned by Atris not to trust her . She secluded herself inside the cargo bay so that she could hone her fighting style , while keeping herself separate from the rest of the crew . While Surik attempted to get to know Brianna , the Echani continued to be wary of trusting her , but through acts of kindness and charity during their journey , Brianna finally believed that Atris had been wrong in her judgments . Brianna occasionally clashed with Visas Marr , a former Sith assassin who was initially on a mission to capture Surik . Although Marr joined the crew after her defeat at Surik ' s hands , Brianna did not trust her due to Marr ' s ties to the Sith . After some convincing from Surik , Brianna learned to accept her presence , although she still kept a watchful eye on the Miraluka . During their travels , Brianna agreed to teach Surik Echani fighting techniques . As they trained , Surik challenged Brianna ' s Echani tradition about sparring while wearing only undergarments ; Brianna conceded that bulkier clothes would be more practical . She surprised Surik by then changing into a heavy set of grayed robes , the style associated with a Jedi Master . When asked , she finally revealed that they were the last keepsake of her mother that she had never known . She opened up to Surik and revealed the story of her past , but she asked that it be kept secret from the rest of the crew , as she had come to trust Surik over everyone else . Unexpectedly , after their private discussion , Surik was approached by Kreia who revealed that she had known Arren Kae . Kreia speculated that because Kae had been strong in the Force , that the potential to become a Jedi also lay within her daughter . Kreia discouraged Surik from training her as a Jedi , however , because it would mean breaking her oath to Atris . Surik decided to leave the choice to Brianna , and offered to train her to use the Force . By this point , Brianna greatly trusted Surik and realized that she had hoped to follow her mother ' s path her entire life . Consequently , she accepted the offer . Surik warned her she would be breaking her oath to Atris , but Brianna was committed , feeling that she would be betraying her heritage if she didn ' t accept the training . With Brianna ' s acceptance , Surik passed on her knowledge of the Force to Brianna , and trained her to become a Jedi Guardian . During this time , Kreia sent a message to Atris through the Force telling her of Brianna ' s choice to become a Jedi with a single word : " Betrayal . " As a Jedi , Brianna continued to aid Surik , who eventually succeeded in gathering the Jedi Masters Vrook Lamar , Zez - Kai Ell and Kavar on Dantooine . Brianna returned to the Enclave on Dantooine with Surik , who set off to meet with the Masters alone . Unfortunately , when the Masters revealed their intentions to strip Surik of the Force due to the danger she posed by her particular ability to feed off the life energy of others , Kreia was forced to act and killed the Jedi Masters . Before incapacitating the Exile , Kreia revealed she had been manipulating Surik all along , and that her ultimate goal had been to utilize Surik ' s unique nature to destroy the Force itself . Confronting the Sith . Following the incident on Dantooine , Brianna , believing Surik to be dead , took Kreia directly to Atris , knowing that her mistress would execute any Sith . However , Atris ' s belief in the Jedi Council ' s decision during the Mandalorian Wars , as well as her belief in the Order itself , had been shaken after she observed Surik ' s conviction . In addition , she had been slowly corrupted by her collection of Sith holocrons , which she had gathered in hopes of using their teachings to fight the Sith . Instead , the influence of the artifacts proved too strong , and they slowly twisted Atris ' s thinking , causing her to fall to the dark side . As a result , Atris ' s conversation with Kreia , who announced her true identity as Darth Traya , caused her to finally give in to the dark side . Simultaneously , the other handmaidens confronted Brianna . She learned that Atris had told her sisters that Brianna had fallen to the dark side and joined Surik against Atris ' s wishes . Brianna could not convince her sisters otherwise , and was forced to fight them . In doing so , she proved herself to have surpassed her sisters in ability , as she managed to defeat them all without killing them . Shortly thereafter , Atris arrived and attacked Brianna . Though Brianna was initially able to keep the corrupt Jedi Master at bay , she was eventually overwhelmed . Atris began torturing her handmaiden with Force lightning ; but , before she could deliver the final blow , Surik arrived and defeated Atris in a duel . After the duel , Brianna pledged undying allegiance to Surik , renouncing her title of Last of the Handmaidens , and embracing her true name . Before leaving Telos , Traya manipulated the Sith into attacking Citadel Station , forcing Surik to fight off an assault and help defend the station before she could follow Traya . Brianna aided Surik and the Telos Security Force in fending off the Sith assault on Citadel Station before joining Surik in pursuit of Traya . Surik had learned from Atris that Traya had gone to a secret academy on Malachor V , the site of the final battle of the Mandalorian Wars , and the site where Surik had previously lost her connection to the Force after killing countless combatants on both sides by activating the Mass Shadow Generator superweapon during the battle . On this occasion , the Sith Lord intended to use Malachor V — a site where the Force still echoed from those killed by the Mass Shadow Generator — to create a wound in the Force , which in turn would allow her to carry out her goal of destroying the Force itself . When the group arrived at Malachor V , however , the massive storms surrounding the planet damaged the " Ebon Hawk " , causing it to crash . In the crash , the members of the group were separated , and Brianna was unable to help Surik , who went on to duel and defeat Traya alone . Legacy . Traya , shortly before her death on Malachor V at the hands of Surik , looked into the future , and told her that Brianna would give up her ways of battle , play a vital role in rebuilding the Jedi Order . According to her , Brianna would follow her passion and take Atris ' s role as historian , teaching future Padawans about the Jedi who gave up the Force , and became better for it . Centuries later , the New Jedi Order would also remember Brianna for her role in the Order ' s history . Brianna was credited as one of the Lost Jedi and an instrumental companion who aided Surik . Due to the uncertain records of the era , the New Jedi Order tentatively named her as one of the potential slayers of Sith Lord Darth Nihilus , alongside another possible candidate , Visas Marr . Personality and traits . As the daughter of Yusanis and Arren Kae , Brianna inherited white hair and blue eye s . She bore the shame of her parents ' forbidden affair , and as a result strove to prove her worth to her sisters and Atris . Her shame and position as the least worthy among her sisters led her to adopt a style of thinking in which she placed the greater good and her oaths to Atris before herself , forsaking her name and identity . It was not until she finally defeated her sisters in combat and confronted Atris that Brianna fully gained a sense of self - worth , finally embracing her name as a result , and casting aside the shame of her parentage . She believed combat to be one of the purest ways of expressing oneself , and that a person ' s fighting style accurately displayed what kind of person they were . Brianna was steadfastly loyal to her superiors , and was completely devoted to Atris before Meetra Surik earned her trust . She was initially very slow to trust Surik due to the warnings Atris had given , but Surik ' s kindness , as well as Brianna ' s reading of her through combat caused her to eventually open up . When Surik saved her life , Brianna completely renounced her ties to Atris . Her trust did not extend to Surik ' s other companions , however , and she remained wary of both Kreia and Marr for the extent of their journey . In addition , despite being criticized by her sisters for her passion , Brianna was typically very reserved and did not interact much with the crew , choosing to seclude herself in the cargo bay instead . Despite this , her irritation with her fellow crew members occasionally showed , typically with Rand and Marr . She expressed her passion through combat , and developed a yearning to feel the Force , eventually receiving Jedi training from the Exile . This curiosity stemmed from her having examined some of Atris ' s Jedi holocrons , and her interest in these artifacts may have led to her taking the position of Jedi historian as Kreia predicted . Having lived a relatively sheltered life in the secret academy on Telos , Brianna displayed some naïveté towards the workings of the galaxy , a fact commented on by Atton Rand . She also failed to grasp jokes made by Surik and the bounty hunter Mira , as well as Rand ' s sarcasm . Brianna tended to view things in terms of black and white , and argued with Surik over some of her decisions , feeling that any act of questionable morality was unacceptable , a mindset she likely developed from following Atris ' own strict beliefs . Powers and abilities . Despite being given the title of the " Last of the Handmaidens " by her sisters , Brianna was proficient in combat with Echani martial arts , and was able to successfully instruct Meetra Surik , showing extensive knowledge of the style . Brianna found her training to be helpful in maintaining her focus , and trained often while traveling with Surik , particularly when annoyed by Surik ' s other companions . In addition , Brianna was skilled in the use of Battle Precognition , which allowed her to perceive her opponents ' intentions an instant before they acted , giving her an edge in combat . She recognized Surik ' s potential with precognition and taught her to use the ability as well . Her combat prowess extended to numerous weapons including Force pikes and blasters . Brianna also utilized a unique staff that possessed qualities similar to a saberstaff , and was given to her by her father . Along with her various weapons , Brianna could also fight effectively unarmed due to her proficiency in Echani . As the daughter of a Jedi , Arren Kae , Brianna was Force - sensitive and eventually accepted Jedi training from Surik , becoming a Jedi Guardian . As a Jedi Guardian , Brianna focused on combat and learned the lightsaber techniques and abilities of the Jedi , supplementing her skills with powers such as Force Jump . With Jedi training , her combat proficiency increased to the point where she surpassed even her sisters in skill and managed to defeat all of them together in combat . Brianna was even able to duel evenly against Jedi Master Atris for a while before being overwhelmed by Force Lightning . She also displayed significant endurance , and was able to stand after being battered by Force Lightning and seemed relatively steady despite the ordeal . Equipment . Brianna possessed many items she was given by her parents , including Jedi robes from her mother and staff from her father . Jedi robe herited from her mother Arren Kae was ligh - grey in color . It also provided her some improvements and protection . The staff that she herited from her father Yusanis was similar to other staffs used by Handmaidens , having capability of being folded inside the handle . Behind the scenes . Brianna first appeared in " " , a video game produced by Obsidian Entertainment and released in 2004 . She was the only party member not conceived visually by artist Brian Menze . Brianna is a non - player character who joins the player ' s party provided that the main character is a male ; if the main character is a female , Meetra Surik will instead eventually be joined by Mical , " the Disciple , " instead , and Brianna will only appear in cutscenes on Telos . She was voiced by Grey DeLisle , who also voiced Padmé Amidala , Asajj Ventress and Shaak Ti in the " " cartoon . Despite numerous in - game references to Brianna looking different from her sisters , and " honoring the face of her mother , " Brianna ' s character texture is identical to her five sisters though her head model does have beaded strands of hair on both sides . When Leland Chee was asked if , with Surik being a female , Brianna still traveled with Surik , he answered with a simple " maybe ; " however , a preview for the Star Wars Miniatures Knights of the Old Republic set confirmed that Brianna did indeed accompany Surik . It also provided roleplaying statistics for Brianna for the Saga Edition . Tionne ' s statements in indicated Brianna slew Darth Nihilus although the accuracy of these records is questionable , as Nihilus is fought and killed in the game by Surik , Marr and Mandalore the Preserver . This inconsistency can most likely be attributed to the " " being written from an in - universe point of view , with the New Jedi Order ' s records on the battle being inaccurate . This explanation is further supported as the guide also references Visas Marr as another possible slayer of Nihilus . A game update for the video game " " in 2013 later made Brianna ' s outfit , " The Last Handmaiden Set , " available for purchase by players through the game ' s Cartel Market system . Gameplay . As with most of the player ' s allies , the player can wait until they have enough influence with Brianna to train her as a Jedi at a low level . Since she ' s at level 6 when she joins Surik , she has the potential to learn more Force powers and abilities if the player waits . There is a glitch in the game which allows a male Surik to accidentally kill Brianna during her training . Upon opening the character selection screen , her space will have no picture , and the name will be replaced by the words " I am so very very broken . " Should the player attempt to speak to Brianna when Surik has more influence with Visas than Brianna , she will get upset and refuse to speak to him for the remainder of the game . Dark Side ending . Due to Meetra Surik ' s unique ability to form close bonds with her companions and even twist their motivations to her will , Brianna can be influenced to fall to the dark side . If Brianna joins Surik and then falls to the dark side , Darth Traya predicts that she will stop looking up to the Jedi and give herself over to battle completely . She abandons her Force training and instead will punish the Jedi for being too emotional . Should Brianna fall to the dark side and become a Dark Jedi Guardian , she also replaces her pure white clothing with a similar looking garment that is completely black and fastened with leather . Playing as a male Surik . Although it was confirmed to be canon that Brianna accompanied Surik during her travels , in the game itself , she would only accompany Surik if the player was male . Otherwise , she would be replaced by Mical . At some point Surik asked Brianna to teach her Echani fighting techniques , and over the course of their journey they sparred three times , each time learning more about each other and became closer , to the point that both Atton and Kreia would notice and comment on it . The main difference in Brianna ' s journey with a male Surik would be her development of romantic feelings towards Surik , as well as her rivalry with Visas for his affections . When Visas is first accepted into the group by Surik , Brianna challenges his choice , feeling that Visas could betray them to the Sith , and also displayed jealousy at Surik ' s willingness to accept another woman so easily . If Surik had higher influence with Visas than Brianna , she would confront the Miraluka in jealousy , accusing her of planning to betray them to the Sith , and ignoring the latter ' s attempts to placate her . Brianna ' s envy would grow to the point where Kreia would take advantage of it , manipulating the handmaiden ' s feelings and convincing her to be ready to confront Visas when Kreia felt the time was right . With a male Surik , Brianna would also take Kreia to Atris , with her grief over Surik ' s death clouding her judgment . She would confront her sisters , as well as Atris , who would eventually use Force lightning . Brianna was unprepared and thrown to her knees after one hit , but Atris tortured her with another round of lightning , her jealousy burning over Brianna ' s closeness to Surik and accusing her of falling in love with him as Brianna laid writhing in agony . Rendered hurt and helpless , it seemed Atris was going to finish her off , when suddenly Surik appeared at the last second , and challenged Atris to a duel . Only further angered by Surik ' s display of concern , she struck Brianna one last time with lightning and , leaving her for dead on the floor , retreated to her chamber to do battle with Surik . After Surik dueled with Atris , Brianna surprisingly managed to survive the vicious assault , and now without the oath to her sisters or her mistress to hold her there , she once again pledged herself to Surik in gratitude . This time she would never let the stigma of her family hold her back from following her heart again . She renounced her title as Last of the Handmaidens , and accepted her true identity for the first time , as well as her name ( which up to this point , she had kept secret even from Surik ) . Cut content . In an earlier version of the game , Brianna was originally meant to join Meetra Surik regardless of gender , so long as Surik was light - sided ( dark sided players would have been joined by Visas Marr instead ) . Brianna was intended to fight her sisters in the Telos Academy , either to kill them or to stun them , letting them live . In the official release , when her sisters act hostile and it appears a fight is about to begin , the scene instead fades to black , fading back in later to show all the handmaidens save Brianna prone on the ground . Brianna had a couple of scenes that were eventually cut out of the game : If the player had more influence with Visas Marr than the Handmaiden , or the PC was dark - sided , then Brianna would attack Marr in the Trayus Academy on Malachor V , accusing her of seducing Surik . If the PC had more influence with Brianna than Visas and the Mass Shadow Generator was not activated , then the PC would leave her in the Trayus Core to wait for others and to teach them as Kreia taught Surik . Like Mira , Rand , and Marr , Brianna would be one of the members to confront and attack Kreia at Malachor V only to be defeated and imprisoned by Darth Sion . Rand would be the only companion to escape .
