## Background

### Biography

Asajj was shaped by a tragic history of being taken from her mother, enslaved, saved by her Jedi mentor, who died and shifting the blame of his death onto the Jedi Order itself. Her many tragedies and hardships instilled into her darkness that not even her mentor, Ky Narec, could fully heal.

### Personality

Asajj was very sophisticated and often taunted Anakin Skywalker whenever they encounter. Her voice actress Nika Futterman describes her as "a bad guy with heart".

Asajj was shaped by a tragic history, of being taken from her mother, enslaved, saved by her Jedi Master, who died, and shifting the blame of his death onto the Jedi Order itself. Her many tragedies and hardships instilled into her darkness that not even her master, Ky Narec, could fully heal.

She took great pride in her skills, reacting viciously when Luminara Unduli insulted her lightsaber skills as being "unrefined, amateurish; sloppy", and she developed an obsession with Obi-Wan Kenobi, partly for his stealing her master's lightsaber (her one keepsake of her master).

Asajj also had a lack of rationality, for blaming her mentor, Ky Narec's death on the Jedi, believing them to have abandoned him.

She believed her path was to follow the dark side of the Force and even side with the Sith Order, only to experience true betrayal from them when Dooku, at the behest of Palpatine, ordered her death.
