Charlotte Arista Arianium

*"**I have seen how those mindless with rage and those who blindly follow the light turn out. I let my instincts guide me, while I may seem weak for some of my decisions I am free of any fear to make them." - Charlotte*

## Appearance

Charlotte is of petite, athletic stature, almost as if she were born to be the runt of the family. Though she is five foot nine and can barely get above 228lbs the little Sith has a somewhat formidable aura.

When she is armored she is covered head to toe, leaving only her fingers bare. Her helmet a plate that resembles a skull piece with a long, curved top adding the illusion of height to the smaller female and near reaching her to an overall six foot one. The helmet's neck portion tucks into her chest piecen, an intricate working of padded fibers and metals with a skirt cape that does nothing to hide the heavily armored leg pieces she wears. Her waist and the bottom half is where it is very easy to tell that Char is a female, especially since the heavily armored greaves and boots add definition. She is easily heavily armored at near all times with the exception being her fingers as she leaves them bare

Her casual wear consists of two simple changes from her armored wear as she likes to be able to be prepared, should an incident or something occur where she needs to be battle ready. Her top is the undershirt which she wears underneath her armored top, an intricate cloth top that winds its way up her arms and around her throat as a protectant from chaffing from the armor itself. The second change is that she goes helmetless, leaving her scarred face open to the gaze of others. Silver webbed scars lay across her face, dancing over eyelids left lashless in the crevasse of the damage that has long since healed. Her skin naturally fair thanks to her father's genes, her hair too lifeless blonde to bring any kind of awe, and her eyes. Amber with the hint of dark side glow beneath, making them shine as gold.

## Personality

Charlottê was of average age when she came into her force abilities - much to the disgrace of her father - and was immediately put to training. Unlike her half sister her force abilities aren’t as strong and are actually somewhat meek in comparison to average sith. Many have reflected it is because of her ‘merciful’ aura.

Char always tries for the peaceful route first and often see’s fighting as either a waste of time or illogical. Her actions are sometimes seen as too ‘light’ or too opposite what the Sith Doctrine states, but that quickly changes should her offer of mercy be denied. She has heard many opinions on her character over her years at the academy but has regarded all of them as slaves to the conformity placed upon them.

## Relationships

"Relationships are tenuous, there must be mystery but also clarity. How much is too much? I can never tell.." - Charlotte

**Avar Kard** ♱ - Father

Avar was her father and trainer, he was brutal and unkind. Even so, he taught her how to take whatever came at her and deal with it. He taught her that the world is unkind and that the only thing she can truly control is herself. She loved him and hated him, and while she does not mourn his passing she does hope he died slow.

**Adelaid Arista Arianium** - Half Sister

Adelaid and Char have a strange relationship as neither are overly emotional. Adelaid is the richer of the two and lived a life of luxury and, eventual, torment, much like Char has. It is through this mutual torment by the hands of their father that the two are going through an unsteady relationship. Even so Char would kill for Adelaid, more importantly she would live for her.

## Biography

"Family is a difficult topic, how can one generalize their family experience as if the one asking hasn't already done their own research onto your lineage? Do you give them an edge knowing your past? Does it matter? Family is... it's a difficult topic." Charlotte

Char’s earliest memory is being dragged by her father up the stairs to his home where he began immediately training her in the ways of the dark side. Countless lessons on decision making and theoretical altercations. Training was hard, harder still when she did not excel as he expected of her. She did not grow up playing with others or hearing how she was destined for greatness, she grew up being told she could do better and that she would or she would waste away as nothing.

She had tantrums and emotional outbursts that often had her losing control of her force abilities. These tantrums had dire consequences as her father had very little patience or care. When her father was finally fed up of her lack of progress he left her at the Sith Academy, telling her that she was their problem now.

As she maneuvered her way through the Sith Academy she found herself in many fights, enraging those around her for - to her - no reason. She gained quite a few of her scars as she progressed through her years at the academy. Her years were relatively unremarkable up until she was challenged by an up-and-coming sith apprentice.

A duel was approved - Char was unimpressive and had yet to excel, a perfect live test dummy. The duel lasted for five minutes with Char being able to hold her ground until the apprentice wore himself out with his rash attacks. Char was unimpressive, but she could take a beating and, with some harsh lessons, could perhaps take hits that would be death blows for others.

It was a month after this duel that her father reappeared and told her she was to be his apprentice - a fancy title that actually meant she was to be his punching bag until he was satisfied with her progress.

He taught her how to maintain her own armor, how to build her own weapons and make the kyber crystals of her fallen foe’s bleed.

She was 23 when her father gave her the metal piece and died, she was twenty six when her sister found her, and now she is twenty seven, finding a place for herself in the Resurgent Sith Empire, in hiding from Acina’s empire and the beliefs that she shuns.
