Appearance
On the surface, A'lora Kituri is as ferocious as she is beautiful. Encased in pure white flesh, the hollow protrusions of her montrals are shorter than average for her species. Framing fierce - yet attractive - features, her lekku are decorated in a mesmerizing pattern of blue stripes which extend to her montrals, forming dark cerulean caps at their summit. Lavender-skinned with white markings, her skin takes on an exotic shade for her species and serves as camouflage in certain environments. Well-toned and muscular, she is able-bodied with a curvaceous figure that could easily be mistaken for that of a dancer than a warrior. Standing at a slightly less than average height for her species, her montrals still make her taller than the females of similarly built species.
Her savage nature is most evident in her darkened face. Prominent upper cheekbones and angular brows contribute towards a fierce and intimidating appearance. Deep-set amber eyes provide a stark contrast to otherwise striking features, being constantly shadowed within their sockets. White markings frame these sockets, combining at the forehead to form a permanent mask complimenting her most prominent facial features. Stained several shades darker than her skin, her thin lips are a deeper shade of violet than the rest of her face.
Harsh and guttural, her accent originates from her homeworld, Shili. Although she understands Galactic Basic, oftentimes the ordering of her sentences will result in a broken form of the language. She carries herself with a demeanour reflecting her devotion to the life of a warrior-seer, in a manner that tenses her muscles without the bearing that a soldier would exhibit.
Clothing
A'lora Kituri has foregone the traditional Jedi robes in favour of lighter and less restrictive attire. Crafted from natural cloth, her usual outfit consists of a long brown cloth held together at the base of her neck and a tattered loincloth running down the front and back. Leg and armwraps of the same material defend her from branches and thorns while a headdress is worn in the same manner. A belt of dark-blue beads and bronze ornaments complete the ensemble. Minimalist in form and function, it can be considered "immodest" and is best suited towards lush, forested terrain.
In extreme climates, her wardrobe might be altered to conform to her surroundings, adding thicker, heavier materials to protect her against the elements. She has constructed numerous variations of her attire as wear sets in, adding and removing sections of cloth, leather and bronze to conform to her surroundings.
For formal occasions, she dons a dress bearing tribal motifs. A large section of brown cloth wraps around her figure and maintains its position through the use of large interwoven laces. Flowing cerulean patterns run vertically along sections of the dress, while the sewn-on sleeves and black shoes are of Vatali design. Locking and conforming the outfit around her waist, a silver-edged band holds the dress together as much as it shows off her figure beneath the outfit.
A'lora Kituri has a very strong Force connection with her long-time mentor and battle-sister, V'yr Vorsa. This bond is strong enough that she can effortlessly feel their presence when they are close and even feel some of their emotions over vast distances. Telepathy comes easily with them and basic emotions like danger, excitement or encouragement are felt clearly. Stronger emotions, such as death or turmoil register in vague intuition, but are present regardless.
This bond allows the two to connect strongly on the battlefield through Force Meld, making them a uniquely strong force of destruction. Their movements and attack patterns are well coordinated and precise, giving them an edge even over stronger opponents when they work as a team.
Once a student under the tutelage of Shaak Ti's teachings, as recorded in stories, tales and legends, A'lora Kituri formed a fragmented understanding of the Jedi Order and its teachings. Without a true Jedi instructor, her reliance on oral legends left out several of the Jedi Order's most basic values. Of her deviations from the Jedi Code, the most recognizable is the primal ferociousness that surfaces during battle. While the techniques she had learned from these stories allow for little physical manipulations in her environment such as through Telekinesis, the coherent ones have allowed her the ability to create intricate Illusions designed to fool all but the most observant individuals.
A'lora Kituri relies on her Farsight to provide a clear path to follow, surrendering guidance to the will of the Force. These visions are not always correct, and certain details could affect the entire outcome of her blind devotion. Rather than thinking these visions through, she will act on them without reflection or recourse. Because of this, others have described some of her actions as "immoral" or "extremist."
Raised on the Togruta homeworld of Shili, A'lora Kituri follows a set of cultural beliefs that has made her spiritually connected with the organic environments around her. Her affinity with nature lends to her Survival in even the most extreme environments. Being so ingrained within these primitive beliefs and an instinctual need to survive, A'lora Kituri possesses several feral or ferocious traits in her personality. Lacking most of the subtle nuances and manners expected in formal occasions, societal "rules" are foreign to her understanding. Most would label her beliefs and cultural traits as "barbaric"—accusations that while harsh, are not far off the mark.
Seeking to sow misdirection to her benefit, A'lora Kituri will strive to befuddle the minds of her opponents, but not crush them. Using her power to create Illusions, A'lora Kituri will often contrive false duplicates of herself to serve as dopplegangers. In addition to this, she will use other underhanded tactics designed to confuse her opponents and might use Force Cloak in the heat of a battle to recuperate, escape or change her angle of approach. Where possible, A'lora Kituri will remain hidden and poised for the first strike, whether through her knowledge of the environment or other Force-related means.
Because of the exhaustive nature of these short-burst attacks, enemies able to sustain their endurance can outlast her assault, while those able to pierce through the illusions can prevent her from recuperating.
Seeking a direct advantage over would-be assassins, A'lora Kituri has discovered a new means of defense against Brotherhood agents. Forgoing traditional lightsaber designs in favour of a bulkier extendable hilt has allowed her to shift between a saberstaff and lightsaber pike with relative ease. Sacrificing one blade allows for an extended handle, which can be used as a fulcrum in launching acrobatic maneuvers. This tactic is often successful as an unforeseen attack, but an observant individual can turn the element of surprise back on its wielder.
Outside of lightsaber combat, her finesse with most staff-like weapons affords her the use of most blunt-ended quarterstaves and electrostaves. Lacking for physical strength, she relies on the momentum of her weapon to deal a sustainable amount of damage with each strike. Although her quarterstaff is often at her side as a walking stick, it has served in countless trials against combatants.
