Nepenthia the Exiled

Nepenthia the Exiled, better known as Nepenthia and sometimes as Thia, was a Gank female who specialized in artillery combat and interrogation. Outfitted with several specialized cybernetics, Nepenthia was equipped to extract information. She was employed by the Galactic Republic as a bodyguard and interrogator.
== The Exiled ==
Nepenthia left her clan due to inherent disagreements in culture, especially pertaining to violence. Nepenthia's doubt would cost her a close brush with death, including many scars over the lower half of her face that she would mostly cover with a mask.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Nepenthia was tall and imposing at 6 feet 5 inches, clad in different types of armor and tactical gear that are all the color yellow. Underneath her helmet but rarely seen, her skin is brown with blue-green hair and always changing eyes.
== Move to Coruscant ==
Nepenthia was raised as part of a Gank clan, eventually becoming disillusioned with what she felt was a philosophy mindless killing. She eventually chose to leave, entering a voluntary exile, effectively changing her name to reflect her ex-clan status. She then made her way to Coruscant to start a new life, learning to become an interrogator under the Galactic Republic and eventually became acquainted with some other Republic members under a pseudonym, Refrigerator.
== At Odds ==
Nepenthia's own motives did not always seem to align with those of her group. In particular, she resented Ktadra for being a Jedi, as well Lakeni by extension, due to her taking the Jedi path under the former's leadership.
Nepenthia's resentment would eventually give as soon as she blew up on Lakeni, accusing her of leading them into danger and being deserving of her complicated past. However, Nepenthia regretted her actions soon after once Lakeni made attempts to leave the planet. She would then apologize, explaining her reasoning and expressing her desire to rectify her actions.
She would also give them permission to use her real name, to which the group offered to reintroduce themselves.
== Apprehension and Return ==
In a plot to try and capture the assassin Rasmus, Nepenthia was seriously wounded and eventually kidnapped. She began to trust Rasmus enough, to the point where she became fearful when Bait and Zic Bic arrived to rescue her. In an attempt to prevent them from acting erratically, she agreed to hold them where they were with the threat of a blaster.
However, Nepenthia's actions seemed like betrayal to Lakeni, the latter of which pulled her blaster on her upon her return but did not shoot.
