Fifth Sister

The Fifth Sister, formerly known as Odessa Parfel, was a Force-sensitive Arkanian female member of the Inquisitorius during the reign of the Galactic Empire. Prior to the formation of the Empire, Parfel was a Jedi Padawan during her time in the Jedi Order. Trained in the Jedi arts, Parfel had a brilliant intellect and heightened senses, being able to anticipate the behavior of her enemies. She later became one of the Empire's deadliest Jedi hunters, even receiving admiration from the Sith Lord Darth Vader, who told her that one's mind is the most powerful weapon in the galaxy. An ambitious and cruel Inquisitor, the Fifth Sister sadistically toyed with her prey and desired to win over the approval of Emperor Palpatine.
The Fifth Sister was once a Padawan who learned the ways of the Force under Jedi Knight Ria-Asan-Jiar. During the Clone Wars, Parfel held the rank of Jedi Commander in the Grand Army of the Republic and fought against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. In the aftermath of the Clone Wars, Parfel and Jiar were made targets of the Great Jedi Purge, however, Parfel escaped the onslaught and went into hiding. Ultimately, she was captured by the newly-risen Empire and subjected to torture, allowing the dark side of the Force to transform her into the Fifth Sister. Having forsaken her former identity and the Jedi way, she became an Imperial Inquisitor dedicated to destroying the last remnants of the Jedi Order under the tutelage of the Emperor's Fist, Darth Vader. 
In 5 BBY, the Fifth Sister was sent to eliminate the Jedi fugitives Del Morrigan and Kenan Verso on the planet Batuu. With the help of the Phantom Cell, Morrigan and Verso escaped the Inquisitorius, and as a result, the Fifth Sister hunted the two Jedi across the galaxy. After confronting them on a few occasions while they searched for a new base, the Fifth Sister got involved in the insurgency on Milano, which Morrigan and Verso frequently participated in. As the hunt for Morrigan and Verso carried on, the Fifth Sister tracked them to Nelvaan, but Verso defeated her in a lightsaber duel, which allowed them to complete their mission. Shortly after, Lord Vader arrived to prevent the rebels' escape by ordering an orbital bombardment on the Nelvaan facility, which caused the Fifth Sister's death. 
==Biography==
===Padawan of the Jedi Order===
By 19 BBY, Odessa Parfel was assigned as the Padawan of Jedi Knight Ria-Asan-Jiar. During the Clone Wars, Parfel served as a Jedi Commander in the Grand Army of the Republic and fought against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. In 19 BBY, during the final days of the Clone Wars, Parfel and Jiar were sent by the Jedi High Council to arrest the Separatist spy Kupa Selto who was hidden in the lower levels of Coruscant. 
===Order 66===
Upon their arrival to Level 1312, Parfel and Jiar began searching the local cantinas for any sign of Selto, anticipating for him to attempt blending into the crowd. Their investigation led them to Reya's Cantina, where the two split up, with Parfel searching the crowd and Jiar questioning the bartender, Reya Morro. As Odessa was listening in on someone's conversation about a mysterious Selkath passing through the bar, she could sense someone behind her. She turned around to see Selto with a blaster pointed at her and he ordered her to remain silent if she wanted to live. Parfel reached for her lightsaber and severed his hand with the blaster, disarming him and ordering him to follow her out. Instead of following her commands, Selto ran out of the bar, pushing other people out of his way, and Parfel ran after him with Jiar following close behind her.
While stationed outside of the cantina, Clone Commander Stone of the Coruscant Guard witnessed the Jedi chasing Selto and rushed to their aid with his clone shock troopers. However, as the clones arrived, Stone received a transmission from the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, ordering the clones to execute Order 66. Instantly, the clones directed their attention to the two Jedi and began cornering them, then unleashed swarms of blaster fire on them. While deflecting the shots, Jiar ordered her apprentice to run and don't look back, however, Parfel refused to abandon her master, still hopeful for a chance to escape. Jiar implored her to escape while she had the chance, but the clones shot her down before she could respond. After briefly mourning Jiar's death, Parfel ran away from the clone troopers and began searching for an escape vehicle. She later ran into Selto who was attempting to start up an airspeeder, and in the state of desperation, Parfel impaled Selto with her lightsaber so she could steal the airspeeder. With the hijacked airspeeder, Parfel returned to the Jedi Temple as Jiar instructed, but saw that the Temple had been attacked already, so she went into hiding. 
===Capture and fall===
Following the formation of the Galactic Empire and start of the Great Jedi Purge, Parfel was discovered by the Empire and held prisoner in the Inquisitorius Headquarters on Coruscant. She was subjected to torture by her captors, and with the fear and pain of witnessing Jiar's death, Parfel succumbed to the dark side of the Force. She would renounce her former identity and way of life, becoming an Inquisitor of the Empire known as the Fifth Sister. She was taught to develop a deep hatred for the Jedi Order and devoted her life to destroying its last remnants, all for the approval of Emperor Palpatine. At some point, the Fifth Sister crafted a double-bladed lightsaber to serve as her primary weapon. Like all the other Inquisitors, the Fifth Sister was allowed to customize her weapon to best fit her fighting style and personality. 
=== Hunting Morrigan and Verso ===
==== First encounter on Batuu ====
In 5 BBY, the Grand Inquisitor dispatched the Fifth Sister and Fourth Brother to the planet Batuu to investigate a Jedi sighting.
==Personality and traits==
Odessa Parfel was an Arkanian female who stood at 1.7 meters and had pale skin, long white hair, four fingers, and pupilless eyes. During her time as a Padawan, she was kind and compassionate, caring for the safety of her master during the events of Order 66. However, after witnessing her master's death and her torture at the hands of the Galactic Empire, her personality became twisted. 
After she fell to the dark side and became the Fifth Sister, she was cruel and overzealous in hunting down the remaining Force-sensitive survivors for the Empire. Furthermore, she was a vindictive and manipulative warrior, driven by a comprehensive hatred for the Jedi Order that failed her. The Fifth Sister had little to no regard for anyone, regarding her enemies and allies as nothing more than prey. Her sociopathic tendencies allowed her to patiently manipulate almost any adversary into revealing their weakness and fears. She was also known to keep souvenirs that were taken from the individuals she hunted. While she was known to sadistically toy with her opponents, an extension of her manipulative abilities, she was also quite arrogant, bragging to Verso that his recent knighting wasn't a match for her new-found abilities with the dark side. 
==Powers and abilities==
The Fifth Sister possessed a brilliant intellect and heightened senses which made her one of the most powerful members of the Inquisitorius. After she fell to the dark side, she began to understand the Force more and learned to use her abilities to her advantage. She fought with agility and precision, but lacked much skill with a lightsaber. Although not the best duelist, the Fifth Sister was most powerful in the Force and her presence was as frightening as Darth Vader.
==Equipment==
During her time in the Jedi Order, Odessa Parfel wielded a blue single-bladed lightsaber as her primary weapon. While serving in the Empire, the Fifth Sister wore helmet and a personalized version of the standard gray and black Inquisitor garbs. She was also armed with a double-bladed spinning lightsaber.
==Behind the scenes==
The Fifth Sister was created for the upcoming film Star Wars: Rise of the Rebellion. She will first appear in the upcoming film Star Wars: Fall of the Republic as the Jedi Odessa Parfel before her fall to the dark side of the Force.
