Shinoa Kitayama

> You’d serve his evil without question, even if you know he’ll kill anyone who doesn’t align themselves with his vision?*"
> "*Would evil help someone with an incurable disease, weak and sick? Even if it was out of his own curiosity, my life belongs to him even if I may just be another pawn in his eyes.

**Shinoa Kitayama** was a human female Sith who served the Sith Empire as the apprentice of Darth Deceptious. After surviving the Sith trials, and becoming his first apprentice since the rise of the new order, Shinoa proved herself as a capable and prodigious student.

She went missing after the Tragedy on Iokath.

## Personality

> He saved me. That’s all there is to it. I’ll stay faithful until he no longer has use for me. It’s my purpose, and that’s all I ever wanted. A purpose.

Shinoa Kitayama was a calm and composed individual, and considerably more tolerant and understanding than her more openly cruel and vicious Sith counterparts. Before becoming a Sith herself though, she was originally extremely timid and self-conscious. This did not help that she was born with an unidentified and seemingly incurable disease that weakened her body and kept her relatively unable to move without assistance, and as a result, was viewed as a nuisance by her own family which left her almost constantly depressed and demoralized━a life without purpose.

When she had been transferred to the Sith Academy, she had almost accepted death in her weakened state. It was only a chance meeting with Darth Deceptious that was her incurable illness cured and she decided on her purpose. By the time she became Darth Deceptious’ new apprentice, Shinoa was genuinely loyal, even knowing that he may have simply cured her only due to the fact it was an unknown disease. Her timid and self-conscious feelings had passed her, becoming confident in herself and her new abilities as she continued to study under the Emperor. Even though she was mentored by one of the most ruthless Dark Lords, Shinoa managed to retain a form of compassion and supportive nature, which she mainly directed toward her master and friends. She only showed ruthlessness to those who she was either ordered to be ruthless toward or who had no intention to back down or surrender. She slowly developed feelings for the immortal Sith, who she viewed as the one who helped her become a better person and become more confident in herself, and because of those feelings, the ruthless nature toward those who opposed him became more commonplace to the point she was outright hostile against anyone who decided to challenge him or reject his commands. Much so that sometimes she was rather protective of her master, almost as if she was a knight of the Empire protecting her Emperor, and wasn’t afraid to speak out against those who spoke ill of him, even going as far as to tell Quinn Maru that he wasn’t just pure evil because pure evil wouldn’t have moved a finger to help someone sick and diseased.

She was not without reason, as whenever she was sent to mediate in the Emperor’s place, many felt a much more relaxed atmosphere, compared to the presence of one of his more infamous and murderous servants. This was because she was capable of being reasoned with, so long as her orders allowed her to reason.
