Appearance
A'lora Kituri looks as ferocious as she does 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 adorning a statuesque figure, her musculature is well-defined along her abdomen. She carries herself in a manner that tenses her muscles without the bearing that a soldier would exhibit while her gait is characterized with an exaggerated sway of the hips and long, deliberate strides.
Her face possesses savage-looking features, between prominent upper cheekbones and angular brows. Deep-set amber eyes constantly shadowed within their sockets stand out starkly against the white markings that frame them, combining at the forehead to form a permanent mask. Stained several shades darker than her skin, her thin lips are a deeper shade of violet than the rest of her face, curling around a harsh, guttural accent originating from her homeworld of Shili.
Clothing
A'lora Kituri typically wears lighter and less restrictive attire than traditional Jedi clothing. Handcrafted, her preferences are towards garments tooled from raw, natural cloth, oftentimes minimalist in form and function and sometimes considered "immodest". Alterations can conform her wardrobe to her surroundings, adding furs, leathers, ivory, and even bronze to the ensemble.
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 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.
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.
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."
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.
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.
