Dreode Rosier

## Biography

Dreode Rosier was a jedi knight who fell to the dark side when she was young and spent the rest of her life attempting to cover it up, rather than improve herself.

### Early Life

Dreode was born on Imroosia and lived for the first four of years of her life with her mother Noidal. Although Noidal spent a long time of scraping together loose ends and working to the bone, the two were quite close with Dreode remaining at home with her mother most of the time. Due to being cut off from her family and tired of the planet that had rejected her, Noidal wanted more for herself and her daughter, believing Dreode was destined for great things.

When a Jedi Guardian visited the planet and recognised Dreode's force sensitivity, Noidal saw the Jedi Order as the perfect opportunity for her daughter. Although she struggled to give her up, Noidal believed it was the will of the world.

### Padawan Years

After being brought to the temple, Dreode struggled to connect with her crechemates and finding her connection the force strained and unnatural. Although she struggled to remember why, she felt incredibly homesick, missing her mother which was only worsened by how few other people were from her planet.

Due to her often peaceful and determined nature Dreode was eventually picked to be a padawan to Telenan Demopoulos, a Jedi Master renowned for her pacifism and serenity. Determined to prove herself, Dreode wanted to be the perfect jedi, shaping herself in her master's calm image despite her often intense nature.

During her padawan training, Dreode was deemed mature and thoughtful enough to be able to visit her home planet and her mother. Her master, eager for Dreode to sharpen her connection to the force through connection to people around her, arranged for a meeting. Her mother, delighted to see her again, impressed upon her how she had been given to the Jedi as a chance to start a new life. Dreode takes this as a responsibility to become the perfect Jedi in order not to waste her mother's sacrifice leading to damning consequences.

### Knighthood

After Dreode is knighted, her master drifts from the Jedi Order and their relationship has become strained. Dreode is struggling to keep up the facade of being a good jedi, sometimes cutting corners on missions and crossing the line between non-attachment and cruel distance.

It is impossible to pinpoint when Dreode fell to the dark side as it was a slow fall made up of many minor hurts, cruelties and neglects but after a mission where she protects a corrupt government to shield her own failures on the mission, Dreode wakes up to her eyes yellow. Originally thought to be a trick of the light but as they shine an eerie yellow, she knows it is too late for her.

Seeing herself as condemned to her fate and irredeemable Dreode doubles down on giving the perfect illusion of being a good Jedi. Living in a swirling combination of denial and self-preservation Dreode only gets worse.

### Clone Wars

During the Clone Wars, Dreode is assigned a battalion of troopers led by the Commander Max. No longer can her faults be disguised in mission reports and repetitions about the will of the force when troopers begin to die under her watch. Dreode's casual cruelty, failure to admit her own incompetence and neglect deeply damage her battalion which suffer great losses. Her inexperience with planning attacks does not stop her attempts and even when Max attempts to assist her, she continues her efforts.

She is known to be consistently cold, detached and negligent with complaints going around about her lack of action on the battlefield compared to other Jedis. In a particularly cutting moment, Dreode allows rations to be halved when she orders the ship to make a detour in order for her to pick up brown eye contacts, to disguise her sith-like eyes.

After months of incompetence, her commander, sick of seeing his battalion suffer, takes matters into his own hands. On a desert planet about to be bombed in the Mid-Rim with the rest of the battalion already on the ship, Max duels Dreode. Aiming to either take her down or delay her enough so she never makes it to the ship Max enacts his plan. In a twist, he calls her lightsaber to his hand and she dies on the planet from a lightsaber wound to the chest.

Max allows the Jedi Order to celebrate her as a hero and a statue of her is even erected on Imroosia as a way to honour her memory.
