Sabine Wren

**Sabine Wren** is one of the tritagonists and female protagonist of the television series *Star Wars Rebels*. She was an Imperial cadet who defected from the Galactic Empire after realizing how one of her weapons, the Duchess could be used against her fellow Mandalorians. Briefly, Sabine took up a career as a bounty Hunter with fellow Mandalorian Ketsu Onyo until her best friend's betrayal. By age 16, she was a member of the Ghost crew, led by Hera Syndulla and Kanan Jarrus, becoming Spectre 5. Seeing the crew as her family, Sabine is the daughter figure of the Spectres, acting like an older sister towards Ezra Bridger while keeping her past a secret.

In season 3, she is revealed to be the daughter of Ursa and Alrich When and has a younger brother, Tristan.

At least five years after the war has ended, Sabine left Lothal with Ahsoka Tano in search of Ezra, who had gone missing during the planet's liberation.

## Biography

Sabine Wren was born on the planet Krownest to Ursa Wren, the Countess of Clan Wren, and her husband, Alrich. Sabine had one sibling, a younger brother named Tristan. She was raised in part on Mandalore but also considered Clan Wren's ancestral home of Krownest to be her homeworld. Trained from an early age in Mandalorian warrior culture, Wren forged her distinctive armor with her family and also inherited her Nite Owls helmet from someone whose identity she was reluctant to reveal. As a child, Sabine and Tristan were shown a statue of Tarre Vizsla and taught by Alrich how to appreciate artwork. Since then, Sabine hoped to become an artist one day.

At a young age, Sabine was put into the Mandalore Imperial Academy to show her loyalty to her parents. She befreinded fellow Mandalorian Ketsu Onyo. The girls were inseparable, almost like sisteres. A bright-eyed cadet, Sabine hoped to serve the Empire. She was presumably the top of her class. Hoping to prove herself, Sabine created the *Duchess*, a superweapon that turned Mandalorian armor against them. Most Mandolorians were angered by Sabine's creation because Mandolorian armor was sacred to their culture. Following this, Sabine grew disillusioned with the Empire and spoke ou tagainst it. However, her mother, father and brother sided with the empire and disowned Sabine. The young Sabine was able to escape with help from Ketsu. Her decision to renounce the Empire caused Alrich to become a prisoner of Viceroy Gar Saxon, her mother forced to prove her loyalty ot the empire while Tristan was forced to serve as an Imperial Super Commando so the family would remain in Saxon's favor. Before she left, Sabine destroyed her weapon, but the Empire was able to use her research to build another arc pulse generator.

She later saved a group of Wookiees, and felt she owed them a debt in the future. Sabine and Ketsu became bounty hunters and partners with dreams of becoming the Black Sun. However, Sabine was the softest of the two. They were forced to care about only themselves in order to survive. However, Sabine and Ketsu's partnership and friendship ended on bad terms because her best friend left her for dead.

Sabine continued to run from the Galactic Empire, and was saved by a man named Janard, who saved her from an Imperial who was attempting to kidnap her. He helped her escape. Eventually, seeing the destruction of her homeworld, she hoped to join an open rebellion to fight for the family she lost.

Eventually, Sabine was recruited by Kanan Jarrus and became the fifth member of the Spectres,whom she saw as a family, seeing a father in Kanan, a brother in Zeb, a mother in Hera, and eventually, a younger brother in Ezra Bridger when he joined the Ghost crew.

## Personality

Like everyone on the *Ghost* crew, Sabine was sympathetic to those who suffered at the hands of the Empire. She is the "daughter" of the Ghost crew, seeing Hera and Kanan as surrogate parents, and Chopper, Zeb and Ezra as her brothers. She is troubled by her past, especially her past life as an Imperial cadet and a bounty hunter. After renouncing the Galactic Empire, Sabine's family cut ties with her, and caused Sabine to become a loner. After being adopted by the *Ghost* crew, Sabine learned the true meaning of family and friendship.

Sabine is an artistic and creative individual who is a bit rough around the edges at first. Being an artist, Sabine paints what she sees, as she said so when showing artwork depicting Chopper's prank on Ezra and Zeb. She also loves color, explaining her constantly changing her hair color and admiring explosions' colors rather than the chaos. She is also a specialist when it comes to explosions, especially making "paint bombs," something she used to rig Imperial vehicles.

When she became in possession of the Darksaber, Sabine saw it as a means to an end and thought it was a bad omen to her and bring nothing but trouble to her family. Sabine kept her past bottled up inside of her but with the help of Ezra, Kanan and Fenn Rau, she was able to realize that she had to bring her biological family together again. She later refused to abandon Ezra when he was being held hostage by Gar Saxon and later, refused to leave him and Kanan when Ursa was going to trade the Jedi to Saxon. Due to Ezra and Kanan's training, Sabine found the fortitude to take on Saxon in single combat. Sabine was also magnanimous in victory and decided to spare Saxon's life. Saxon, however, did not return the favor and tried to shoot her in the back. Seeking to rebuild ties with her family, Sabine elected not to return with Ezra and Kanan to the Rebellion. Instead, she dedicated herself to helping Clan Wren to reunite the Mandalorians. While Sabine did not regard herself as Mandalore's new leader, she vowed to help her people find that individual in Bo-Katan Kryze.

Later, Sabine's loyalty to her rebel friends led her to convince Ursa and Fenn to lend forces to help Phoenix Squadron and Massassi Group during the Battle of Atollon. She dedicated herself in protecting Lothal in Ezra's place and decided on departing on a quest with Ahsoka to find him and bring home. As a warrior, Sabine was familiar with the military strategy and proposed concentrating the Mandalorian attack on the Interdictor Cruiser in order to facilitate the rebels' escape.

## Friends

### Kanan Jarrus

Kanan has been a fatherly figure for Sabine since she became a member of the Ghost Crew. He helped her during the trials of taking up the Darksaber and use it to unite the people by helping her conquer her fears.

When he was killed protecting Sabine, Ezra and Hera, she was heartbroken and was motivated to fight the Empire even more.

### Hera Syndulla

Being the only two women on the team, Sabine and Hera are incredibly close, Sharing a mother-daughter/sisterly bond and relationship similar to Kanan and Ezra's. However, like any mother and daughter, Hera and Sabine have their arguments, especially when it came to Hera's informant, Fulcrum, as Sabine felt that Hera didn't trust her and was reminded of her days back at the Imperial Academy, where she often asked questions and Sabine got frustrated with Hera because Fulcrum's identity was on a need-to-know basis. However they reconciled when Hera and Sabine worked together on an asteroid by defeating the Fyrnocks that lived there and in the aftermath, Hera revealed that she trusted Sabine, just as she did on the asteroid and Sabine accepted her friend's reasoning after Hera promised to reveal everything to Sabine and the other rebels when the time was right.

### Zeb Orrelios

Zeb is one of Sabine's closest friends and they each came to see each other as family and each other's own sibling. Depsite getting along, Sabine and Zeb will disagree on several things, and sometimes, she got tired of Zeb's impatience, often shushing him whenever he would rush Ezra.

She was also one of the few who could control his temper, as Sabine stopped him from brutally murdering Rukh and told him they were not like the Empire.

## Enemies

### Maul

Sabine encountered Maul twice throughout the series, but she knew of his reputation, given that she acknowledged that Maul once ruled her people to Zeb.She had, at least, a form of hatred for the Sith, presumably being aware that he blinded Kanan and later, endangered Ezra when the two Force-wielders combined the Sith and Jedi holocrons. Sabine grew to resent him when he began tormenting Ezra with Force visions and affecting her friend's health.She was untrusting of Maul, as she helped Kanan track Ezra down on Dathomir. Maul cared little for her wellbeing, and urged Ezra to forget Sabine and Kanan and leave them to the Dathomirian Witches. Sabine later took the Darksaber from Maul's alter on the planet, and was the first Mandalorian to wield it.

### Gar Saxon

Despite coming from the same planet and house/family, Sabine and Saxon were immediate enemies. Sabine recognized him easily, first encountering Saxon on Concord Dawn and knew she had to rescue Ezra from him. He attempted to kill her multiple times, despite her being a teenager, which included an attempt on Concord Dawn (before Fenn Rau saved her and Ezra) and dueling her on Krownest. Sabine bested him in combat and instead of killing him, spared Saxon because it may be the Mandalorian way to finish an opponent, but not her way. Saxon attempted to kill her one last time, until Ursa Wren shot hm dead before he could do Sabine harm.

### Thrawn

Thrawn has a level of respect for Sabine, considering her a talented artist, which he revealed in a conversation with Ezra Bridger, even keeping some of her artwork in his office aboard the Chimaera. He praised her invention the Duchess (used on Mandalorian armor) and told Tiber Saxon he could not possibly reach it to its full potential without Sabine Wren's aid. Thrawn was able to deduce that she was the second person in the TIE defender with Ezra. However, Sabine cared very little what the Grand Admiral thought of her when she learned from Veris Hydan how Thrawn had thought highly of her.
