Kalja Sairu Leidias

Description

 * "When I must kill, I mourn every life I take. I feel their death as if it were my own. Indeed, a little piece of me dies every time it happens. It doesn’t matter if they were evil or not."
 * — Kalja Sairu Leidias.

Kalja Sairu Leidias is the latest in a long line of Kaljas to bear that name. A member of the Leidias Family, Kalja comes from a strong Jedi lineage and may surpass her ancestors as one of the greatest Leidias's to ever live. She is currently a member of the Jedi Council.

Kalja possesses a natural affinity for the Force, seeming to understand it on a level beyond many other Jedi. The most astonishing thing is how clearly she could feel it before she was ever trained in the ways of the Jedi. Her training was merely giving form to something she already understood subconsciously.

Because she has such a deep connection to the Force, Kalja goes out of her way to avoid violence and especially killing. Her sensitivity to the Force means that she feels the pain and death of others more acutely than other Jedi. With the galaxy in such turmoil, she finds she must consciously restrain her natural awareness and rarely opens herself up completely to the Force unless absolutely necessary.

Although she refers to herself as a Jedi Knight, many Jedi consider Kalja a Jedi Master because her power and past deeds are on par with that of other Masters. Kalja herself keeps the Jedi Knight title because she isn't comfortable with the idea of calling herself a Master yet.

Never one for formal titles, Kalja has a quirk of referring to everybody she meets by their first name. This even extends to her father, Tulsar. She does this not out of disrespect, but because she believes everyone is equal in status when it comes to the larger scheme of things.

Appearance
Kalja prefers to wear simple and comfortable tunics that downplay her position as a Jedi. She likes to put elaborate braids into her blonde hair when she has the chance, but otherwise does little to enhance her appearance.

Force Powers
Kalja has a very strong sensitivity to the Force. She is a quick learner when it comes to Jedi techniques and usually needs little instruction in how to use them.

Her unique connection to the Force allows Kalja to draw a dangerous amount of power from it without having her body fried in the process. She rarely does so though unless there is no other option. The lure of the Dark Side from summoning so much power becomes very strong and once she is done, her body immediately falls into a coma-like state from the withdrawal of so much power. There is no chance of waking her when she is in this state and it usually takes three to four days for her to recover.

She is well versed in all of the basics and has mastered some of the more advanced non-violent techniques known to Jedi. In particular, Kalja has become adept at healing, battle meditation, and exorcising Dark Side spirits. Her high sensitivity also gives her an advantage when attempting to sense those who try to hide themselves with the Force.

When it comes to lightsaber combat, Kalja has developed a one-handed style that makes use of a shield gauntlet. Although it is primarily defensive, the style does allow her to be more aggressive in combat if she so desires. She is also a master in the more conventional Soresu form.
