Morai

> "Merit is not born out of our mistakes. Rather it is how we choose to respond to them that determines who we are."

**Morai**, better known as **The Daughter**, and also known as the **Winged Goddess**, was a female shapeshifting Celestial and a part of The Ones, a family of powerful Force wielders who lived on the ethereal realm of Mortis. Like her family, the Father and the Son, Morai was a being who possessed a unique connection to the Force. As the counterpart of her brother, who embodied the dark side of the Force, Morai was a paradigm of the light side while their patriarch maintained and channeled the balance between them. With their Father's days numbered, The Ones lured the Chosen One, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, to Mortis in order to test his potential. It was the Father's hope that Skywalker would take his place on Mortis; although Morai remained obedient to the will of her Father, the Son plotted to escape into the galaxy with Skywalker's help.

The siblings confronted each other in the Son's cathedral until the Father intervened, only to be overpowered by his Son who grew stronger with the dark side as a result of the Clone Wars. Ultimately, Morai sacrificed her life in order to protect their Father from the Son, who tried to kill him using the Dagger of Mortis. Though mortally wounded, Morai used the last of her powers to help Skywalker save his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano; as a result, Morai's life force became a part of Tano — and to small degree Jarik Shan, with whom Tano shared a Force-bond. Afterward, Morai's body was buried with the Dagger that ended her life. Prior to his own death, the Son visited his late sister's tomb to retrieve the weapon.

Following her death, Morai's spirit continued to live on in the form of a white-green convor, and was tied to an unknowing Ahsoka Tano, as well as Jarik Shan. She typically appeared in their vicinity when either of them were in some form of danger or distress. She would also assist them if necessary, as demonstrated when she helped Shan survive in the vacuum of space for a short time, and when Tano summoned a powerful blast of Force energy to defeat of an Echo of Oryx. Years into the reign of the Galactic Empire, Tano would learn the about the full extent of their connection from Morai herself, who was able to speak with her through a vision for a short time due to Tano being in the vicinity of her statue on Ahch-To.

## **Personality and traits**

> "Her compassion truly had no limits."
> ― Wialu

Morai was a selfless being who cared greatly for her family, particularly her father. Before her fall into madness, the woman known as "the Mother" was also someone who Morai cared greatly for, and she was saddened greatly after the woman's transformation into the twisted entity known as "Abeloth." During the Clone Wars, Morai was very concerned for the Father's failing health, and looked after him when he was injured by the Son. In her greatest show of loyalty and love, Morai threw herself in front of the Dagger meant to kill the Father, sacrificing herself to save him. Despite their natures as polar opposites, Morai also loved her brother, the Son, pleading with him to stop his efforts to unbalance the Force and escape Mortis, and asking her father, even as she died, not to hate the Son.

Morai was also a very compassionate woman, empathizing with the struggles of the stranded Jedi. She tried to help them as soon as they arrived by taking them to her Father, although she later participated in kidnapping Ahsoka Tano and Obi-Wan Kenobi as part of the Father's test. Morai's compassion was shown exceptionally in her final moments: she used the last iota of power in her body to heal Ahsoka Tano, and died content that she had saved her.

It is worth noting that the Daughter was the only member of the Ones who was on good terms with both of her family members: both the Father and the Son were devastated by her death, neither having intended for her to die, despite their attempts to kill each other.

## **Powers and abilities**

> "You host the power of a god of Mortis, and with it her potential for long life."

As a member of the Celestial race, Morai was an immensely powerful being and very strong in the Force. Like the rest of the Ones, she had no fixed material form, and displayed the ability to change her shape at will, particularly by assuming the form of a large griffin. She possessed telekinetic abilities, being able to throw the Son around the room where they were fighting. She also had healing abilities, which she used to try to heal her injured father. During her fight with the Son, Morai showed proficiency in tutaminis the ability to deflect and absorb Force lightning. At the conclusion of their duel, the Daughter was able to match the Son's lightning with an equally powerful Force Push, and, while she never managed to overcome him, the Son also failed to penetrate his sister's defense, proving that they were evenly matched.

Even after her death, while tied to the life force of Ahsoka Tano, Morai proved to still be a powerful entity. Using Tano as a conduit, she was capable of directing large blasts of Force energy when faced against powerful forces of evil, as shown when she destroyed an Echo of Oryx while he pursued Tano and her allies. Because of the bond shared by Tano and Jarik Shan, Morai could also stretch our through it to assist Shan, as displayed when she gave him enough energy to survive the vacuum of space, and when he redirected Force fire shot by Darth Sidious to destroy his portal to the World Between Worlds.

At full strength, Morai's power was equal to that of the Son and the Father, and could rival Oryx, the Taken King. She was only known to be surpassed by the Mother — Abeloth — and the Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker.
