Lady Anathema

?

Lady Anathema is a force-sensitive individual who joined the reorganized Order of Bogan. She was brought into existence on the planet Onderon. The moment she was birthed she was deemed unwelcome by her fellow citizens. Her existence fuelled indifference and resentment within the people of her village as they claimed she did not belong on Onderon, as she was too different from them. One might have considered her existence as dangerous because of her genetics. Lady Anathema, then named Anyshah Nanti, is half human and half Tengean. Half of her brought the terrors back amongst Ondern civilians. Thus, she was painted as the past villains that caused havoc and despair within the main galaxy, and so, she became the outcast of her village. Anathema never had any stable parent figures in her life, it seemed her biological parents were not around for some reason and did not take their child with them. Most of the people in the village raised her to some degree because of moral reasoning. These people could not live with the guilt of neglecting and abusing a child, however, others were demanding that she would get the death penalty. The villagers simply did not know what to do with her, as she was too young to still possess a threat.

At some point in her life, Anathema stumbled upon an artifact that was located near the village. She could hear its whispers frequently throughout the day, so frequent to the point she could not stop herself from approaching it. The girl’s mistreatment had always filled her with depression, confusion, and rage and these feelings grew stronger with every whisper. At the same time she stumbled upon the artifact, she was not the only individual who discovered it. A mysterious man had found the artifact and brought the village to flames to obtain it, an event that changed Anathema’s life because she remained the only one alive in her village. That is when she went with the mysterious man and became his apprentice.

## Personality and Traits

As of today, Lady Anathema appears ruthless, stoic, and distant to those who ever crossed her. Regardless of how she is perceived presently, she was not always like this. Like any other child, she was innocent and bright-minded. Then, named Anyshah Nanti, she believed that she had a bright future on her planet. The grey skies and clouds once seemed full of colors, as the little one could not comprehend the situation she was in yet. Soon, those colors all faded and it did not take long before Anyshah saw red. She grew still, distant, and anxious. She was scared of one wrong sentence or if she wandered somewhere around the wrong individuals she would have to hurt again. She feared everything and everyone around her, as she was excluded from the other children if she approached to play with them. Anyshah was truly alone, to the villagers she was not deserving of a name, of proper education, or any form of love whatsoever. Over the years of mistreatment, her fear transformed into anger and she wished for nothing more than the downfall of the village she lived in. To this day, her anger for them grew larger, as she started to hate the world she lived in.

***“The world shall face my wrath!”***

From when Anyshah was ‘reborn’ as Lady Anathema, her future seemed hopeful again. Her rage never once withered away but rather made room for confidence. Once exposed to her abilities, she never strayed away from becoming an apprentice within the Order of Bogan. She believed she could make a difference in this messed-up world, she believed she could help change the world. Even though outside of the organization she expressed nothing but her ruthlessness and bluntness to those she would not consider an ally, she is very loyal to her allies. To them, she shows gratitude, respect, and a warmer side that one could argue she might have lost in Onderon a long time ago. She will always support and contribute to the Idealogies of the Order of the White Hand, as to this day she believes she owes that. As an apprentice, she is obedient and will do anything she is asked of without any resistance. She takes pleasure in fighting, as she uses every part of her rage in her movements and abilities, wanting to inflict pain on others. This is where her ruthlessness comes in up to the point she can be pretty sadistic.

## Power and Abilities

### Force Abilities

Many years ago, Anathema came from nothing and thus started as nothing, and yet she was noticed for her potential to become a skilled apprentice. She was able to take in lightsaber combat rather quickly, she always had a burning fire within her that was itching to fight. Although, because she was very new to everything she possessed she had much to learn over the years on how to use the Force. This did not dismiss her eagerness and motivation, she made great efforts to learn the extent of the Force. Something that stuck with the little girl up until now was her aggressive nature reflected in how she fought. Anathema fights with offense, she has always made the first moves as she craves to finish the battle as fast as possible and most likely in the most painful way for her opponent. She is rather bloodthirsty at times. Although, over the years she adopted a more disciplined demeanor, she still fights with angst.

She can employ telekinesis during fights and occasionally uses it in cases of great distances between her and her opponents or to sneakily catch them off guard. This is not as frequently used, as she is still learning to control the force properly. As an apprentice, she has great potential to become talented in these abilities.

### Lightsaber Abilities

Anathema is a skilled lightsaber combatant, nowhere close to perfection, but remotely good. She is currently able to perform the form Ataru at an expert level. There is nothing she fears, as she does not allow her fear to halt her movements and will take charge in battles. She is very acrobatic and agile in her movements, she moves as rapidly as she can to take her opponents by surprise as they would deem her unpredictable. This form covers up for her lack of physical strength. To make her more all-round, Anathema has also learned to perform Zajaal, however, she is still considered at an adept level in this form so her using it is pretty rare.

## Equipment

### Dual Lightsaber

Anathema wields the Dual Lightsaber, having the possibility of either using one or both blade emitters. Which allows her to fight either with one blade ignited or double blades. In her case, she uses her saber with both emitters on quite frequently though it depends on her fighting style, the more aggressive she is the more likely she would use two emitters. Her lightsaber’s handles can also be detached from one another, which transforms her dual lightsabers into two separate lightsabers, something that rarely occurs in Anathema’s case.

### Modified Interceptor

Anathema also possesses a manufactured Interceptor. The Interceptor is functionally able to navigate its surroundings in the galaxy even in unknown regions. It also wields weapons such as four laser cannon that is attached to the tip of each wing, five heavy cannons between the main solar collectors on each wing, and a heavy weapon turret. It is also equipped with sensor technology that assures a degree of stealth.

## Trivia
