Curupira Hawk

Curupira D'Arr Hawk is a Force Sensitive Female originating from the planet Dathomir, born in a long line of lightside Witches in the Singing Mountain Clan. Survivor of a Nightsister attack and witness to her father's murder, the redheaded girls with golden eyes was sold into slavery and forgot most of her mother tongue before Seth Draclau freed and adopted her. From then on, her true nature began to flourish.

Fiercely devoted to family, Curupira set out on her own at eighteen to find her sister among the Jedi but finding Ti'Cira was only the very beginning of the redhead's adventure. In that very same year, she met Sith Master Ket Van Derveld, claimed him as per Dathomiri rules, became a Sith.

Through the years, Curupira has traveled the galaxy, met a lot of interesting people, made mess on several different planets just for the sake of her entertainment, met one of her daughters from the future. Being a Sith, she's technically exiled but from her clan but she hasn't gone back since her original return to find out what she already knows.

General Appearance
Petite and slim, Curupira probably wouldn't appear all that interesting if it wasn't for her fire red hair and hazel eyes. They are her more noticeable features, matched with full lips and fair skin tone. Standing at five feet and three inches, she's usually smaller than most people in the room and somehow, she always ends up around those much taller than her. Believed to be human, like all those of her bloodline, Curupira is a mixture of her genetics, having inherited her great great grandmother Rayen's shade of read and the golden hue that belongs to her great grandfather Madoc.

Hawk Characteristics
Best to the knowledge of all living Hawks, they are humans from the planet called Dathomir. The most common appearance of the family members has once been dark hair and dark eyes, followed by a pale or fair complexion. Every so often, a family member would come to life baring a trait that seemed uncommon. Such was Rayen Hawk, mother of Satara Hawk with her red hair and green eyes. Or Satara Hawk with the condition of heterochromey where her right eye is blue (after her father) and her left one green (after her mother). With the mating of Satara to the slave Madoc, a new feature was introduced - golden eyes. Which for a few generations, this gene remained dormant until this generation. Ti'Cira, Ahote and Curupira have them while Áine’ki received the gene of blue eyes (color of eyes which Satara's father and later Arik Kane, mate of Adel'aide brought into the gene pool). Even so, every so often, a unique Hawk feature is introduced, characteristic to one or a couple members of the family, like the hair and eyes of Kytarra Hawk, with the eyes of a Seer and hair silver.

The most dominating occurrence appears to be the very fact that the recessive genes seem to come out more and more frequently. Such as the red hair of Rayen Hawk, which Na'ala was born with and which was inherited then by both Ti'Cira and Curupira. Another thing that heavily dominates within the family is their slow aging process and their long life.

Another relevant factor in the gene pool is the midi-chlorian levels, or the potential for both Magic and use of the Force, even while Force Sensitivity cannot be confirmed in the mates taken by Witches before Satara, the existence of it has been strong in all the Hawk children for generations and it only appears to become stronger with each generation to come. Their powers are however not determined by neither light or dark and even though the Hawks traditionally, to their best knowledge, hair from the light side of the Force, they have proven themselves to be useful on both sides of the spectrum, especially the latest generation (e.g. Ti'Cira, Milan, Rach and Curupira all turning to the darkside at one point in their life).

So far, two two rarest traits of the Hawk family have been the heterochromey (after Satara, one future member of the family is to have it) and the gift of visions which so far has been solely dominated by Kytarra Hawk.

Fashion Sense
Curupira loves to dress her age and stand out in the crowd with her fashion sense. Raised among Criminals, with a wealthy guardian, she has gone long way from the tribal outfits that she once wore a a child on Dathomir. With a large collection of dresses, pants, various shoes, there is really no telling with Ruu will very on any given day. While she loves to dress up and look good, she does on occasion dress down from the status she has been raised in, mostly to annoy others, such as shop keepers in expensive boutiques. But generally, Curupira dresses into what she finds fitting for the given situation which rarely ends up being what everyone else would expect.

Personality
Curupira is probably one of those more unique cheerful and perky Sith that nobody ever expects to encounter. She wears a smile on her face and she will giggle and chuckle at the most random of things. She is not exactly what would think a Sith at all when first encountered. But beneath that happy marry-go-round personality, there is a dosage of insanity. Curupira is not all that right in the head nor has she ever been. As a child, most of it remained hidden beneath the surface, only her happy exterior exposed to the outside world. It was thanks to Seth Draclau, who bought her at an auction and took her home with him that allowed the girl to show that part of her, to embrace what was already brewing on the inside.

Carefree, happy, adventurous, Ruu is in love with life. She's always up for new things and new people. However, living with Seth has also spoiled her rotten because as a young man who had raised himself and knowing no other family, Seth knew not how to say no to his de-facto daughter which was only later nurtured by her mate Ket Van Derveld who has since meeting her developed the phrase "what Ruu wants, Ruu gets" which very much agrees with her personality.

Once upon a time a lightsider and a Jedi, Curupira could never truly get into that mindset though she had never actually truly fallen to the darkside as most people. Already too open-minded to be a Jedi, when her mate asked her to switch sides, she agreed far too easily, without fully considering. Then again, Curupira is not one labels and has never have been. She is too much of a free spirit and as such expects to others to view her. Saying she is a Sith, unaffiliated with any of the Sith Orders allows her to be that free spirit. However, beneath that happy exterior, there is darkness waiting to be unleashed. It remains dormant though, even in all her madness. In her life, it has truly been exposed twice. One when she witnessed her father impaled by a Nightsister at the age four and then again when learning Force Lighting at which she had unlocked memories meant ot remain hidden. Her darkness rises from her protectiveness and while it has the potential to fully grow and turn her into a true Sith, as long as Curupira has family to protect, currently only Ket and even to a degree her daughter Chloe from the future, she can be pulled off from the edge and not truly fall.

Among her many flaws which define Curupira for the most part, she also has two disorders that formed when she was a slave. During that time, Curupira suffered from nightmares of the attack on her birth clan and as well as her experience in the mine of a planet she can't name to this very day. It's from those experiences at the attack, the deaths she had witnessed that her fierce protectiveness had formed but also her hate for slavery. No matter what side she chooses the play at, Curupira will never be for slavery in any shape or form, remembering still parts of those years and the way she was treated while there.

Personal Connections
Ti'Cira D'Arr Hawk

Her eldest sister was one of the rare memories Ruu had from her earlist childhood and its because of her that she she even left her Guardian in search her past and identity before being Seth's Ward. It's also because of Ti'Cira that Curupira became a Jedi int he first place and remained a member of it for as long as her big sister was. Ruu loves her big sister with her whole heart and respect her dearly. Of course, that doesn't effect all her decisions in life such as marrying Ket, becoming a SIth because of him, loving Seth so much and so on. The connection she feels for Ti'Cira is fierce though of which the redhead isn't fully away of yet.

Seth Draclau

Her savior, brother, father, teacher. Curupira adores Seth beyond what most people could even imagine. Growing up, she idealized him and still does to a degree. It's with him that the girl learned all that she knows today practically and grew up to be the person that she is. While she was born a Witch, its really Seth's ideas of life that Curupira follows to this very day.

Ahote D'Arr Hawk

Ti'Cira's twin, Ahote, wasn't someone Ruu completely remembered in adulthood but a short time of seeing hm and talking to him, the memories returned rather quickly. Curupira may not be as loyal to him as she is to her big sister but she loves him very much and wishes sometimes they could spend time together.

Dominique England

Curupira didn't much think of having other family but her big sister when she arrived to Naboo but a short time after meeting her niece, Ruu knew she began to care for her. The two aren't that far apart in their years which helps their relationship quite a bit, no doubt though things from Ruu's past almost caused a drift between the two when Ruu nearly strangled Dominique for surprising her during a swim. But the redhead showed just much she cares about the girl when she saved her from a bunch of things the same night. It was even during one adventure that Dominique confessed to her true origins, being a descendent of her sister that had come to future, much like she would learn her own daughter Chloe had done. Knowing that her niece wasn't just niece by adoption but instead by blood played almost a small part in how Ruu felt about Dominique, she already loved her a great deal.

Delek Wrenter

The once Imperial Lord Admiral Delek Wrentar caught Ruu's attention the Sweetheart Ball upon their first and only meet. The whole even would prove to anyone who knows her well enough just how impulsive and quick to decide Curupira really is as she quickly stepped out, asking Delek to become her mate. While the Lord Admiral initially accepted the offer while Ruu kept blushing through out her first experience of what a crush feels like, he declined her offer eventually, slightly breaking her heart.

Ryori Za'tire - While she hadn't spent much time with her big sister's best friend and honorary clan member, Curupira liked Ryori and has since the very moment she met her. In her eyes, Ryori is just what the healer ordered in the Jedi Council, not filling the typical lines of what the lightsiders are but instead being strongly willed and her own person. Her respect for the woman grew enormously when Ryori agreed to witness hers and Ket's claiming ceremony despite it being something Ti'Cira would never agree to.

Ket Van Derveld {Let it Die ▪ Feed the Demons ▪ Utopia} Ruu's mate joined to her by the clan's rules with Ryori and Ahote as witnesses. Ket is pretty much the definition of crazy which is probably the second thing she noticed about him, following his gorgeous blue eyes. She adores him and his psychotic nature of which Ket never fails reminding her of. Despite his nature and the fact that he fully support and often enhances her crazy, Ket is her anchor. He keeps her from going overboard as she's come to realize when she attempted Force Lightning for the first time, unable to stop as her anger overcame her until remembering that her mate was in fact present in the space her darkness spread. Whatever monster resides within Ruu, it recognized the monster inside him right away and it's proven impossible for someone else to sever that connection.

Electrobe - The Dathomirian man who's really called Matthew as Ruu prefers to call him is an interesting character in the girl's mind and much to her like, he's intro his electronics, like the helmet which he actually allowed her to wear. While they'd really only met once so far, Ruu definitely already knows she likes the man.

Satara Hawk - Her great grandmother and the family matriarch, Satara is the elder of the clan she encountered on her visit to Dathomir who told her where Ti'Cira was and how she ended up taken away from her homeplanet though not wanting to throw too much at her, Satara kept from her that they're in fact related.

Áine’ki D'Arr Hawk - A sister Curupira vaguely remembers and based on what Ti'Ci told her on Dathomir, believes she's deceased though doesn't know how it actually happens. Whether the redhead will ever learn the truth and meet Áine'ki still remains to be seen.

Chloe Van Derveld - It happened on Nar Shaddaa, a strange feeling enveloped Ruu in the middle of a dark street. She instantly felt as though it was Ket but the signature kept escaping her. The need to find him took her over, the Force poking her to follow it. When she first saw the girl in the darkness, she didn't think too much of how she looked but her curiosity still made her follow. Being so close to her, Curupira could see momentary flashes and feel what Chloe felt without understanding how. And even when Ket did in fact join them, the need to protect this girl overcame her, making her speak to her mate as she never did. The draw to the girl was almost instant, all before she understood why this creature had one gold and one sapphire blue eye, or why Ket saw her smile and his grin. When at last her mate tasted the girl's blood and saw she was in fact their daughter, things slowly started to make sense even when a small part of her almost refused the possibility. But it would be Chloe who would Ruu's first apprentice.

Known Force Powers and Spells
As a child, Curupira memorized a lot of spells which her mother taught her older sister Ti'Cira and later was taught by her mother those and others to actually achieve them. However, having suffered a trauma during the Nightsister attack, many of her earliest memories were locked away in her subconsciousness and thus forgotten which is why many of the abilities she knows to day were later taught in life.

Other Skills
Over the years, Ruu has picked up a number of skills, a lot of them from her Guardian Seth Draclau, often by simply observing and mimicking his actions.

A Baby Girl
Curupira D'Arr Hawk was born Na'ala Hawk, Clan Healer and Kir D'Arr, Follower of Palawa, as their fourth and last child. Having been born after the twins Ti'Cira and Ahote and their daughter Áine’ki, the youngest of their children was very overprotected. Like many her siblings, she was graced with red hair and golden eyes and taught of the Dathomiri ways of their clan, her first lessons not directed at her but instead what she soaked up from what her siblings learned from their parents and grandparents. She was particularly always fascinated with her Mother's beautiful hair and her great grandmother's mixed eyes that she first described to be colored as the sky and earth.

Their Legacy, our Time
The little copycat that Curupira turned out to be very early, she loved to mimic what her older siblings did. She specially loved to repeat her sister's spells quietly while she listened to their Mother teach Ti'Cira. When there were no training sessions to watch, little Ruu would just tag after her siblings while they made their little adventures. It didn't matter whether they taught she was too young, the little redhead just followed and refused to go home without them. She also loved telling on her big brother Ahote to her parents. While the adults found it to be adorable a lot of times, Curupira always had her little reasons that she never shared with anyone. It was her own little way of having fun but Ruu never did that to neither of her sisters. Somehow, they could do no wrong in her eyes, especially Ti'Cira. Her other favorite activities at the time included sneaking up on her grandmother and spying on clan activities. She didn't find any interest in the fact that her grandmother was a Clan Mother at the time, she just liked to watch her order people around. And of course, there were times she spent at her great grandmother's house.

"No, no and no! He's my friend, Ti'Ci! I will protect him!"

- Curupira Hawk

One day, what appeared like an average day of playing with Ti'Cira and Ahote, Curupira met Mercureus and quickly decided she could trust him. As he was a stranger, her sister aimed her spear at him, only to have Ruu want to defend him. And she did. As he called himself a freeman, Curupira made her first claim, which was supported by their friend Sasha and her big sister had to accept this, despite little Ruu being only four years old. They returned to the clan so she could present her claim, not finding out yet that the man was in fact her eldest brother.

At the age of four, it had finally come time for Curupira to begin her practice with spells. She had been waiting for it, what felt like forever in her eyes. Her Trial by Fire, the event in which she could prove herself to her sisters, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and all the Witches of the clan. For a child of only four, Curupira was very advanced when it came tot his particular field, having already memorized a lot of spells through her sister's training.

As per tradition, her mother brought her a scroll with the spell she would perform. There was just one little problem in that scenario. Curupira was very quick learner and she memorized many things she heard. But he could not read. She could never really sit still to start those lessons. She asked her mother to tell her which spell it was. The Spell of Force Crush. Now, this one she had memorized. The chain of events surprised most of those attending. The child, only four, knew the spell. And as per tradition, she chanted it five times, smashing the rocks gathered around her. She passed her Trial by Fire and proved herself. Once the ceremonial bit was over, the other Witches left and Curupira was left with her mother who would teach her more spells that day. And the next day, and the next day. Once those doors were open, Curupira wouldn't leave her mother alone. This alone showed just how persistent and stubborn the child could be and how she refused to give up if she didn't get what she wanted. If it first she failed, she simply kept asking until she was granted her wish. Sadly, many of her lessons would later be suppressed, just as her native language. The lessons remain in her mind but unattainable.

Nobody to Witch Over Me
Things began to change quickly for the Hawk Family. Ti'Cira, Ahote and Áine'ki disappeared one day and didn't return home anymore. That broke the little girl's heart. To her, one day they were there and then they were gone. Curupira would have gone with them that day but her mother called her for training. The little girl stook there, looking at the three walk away, unable to decide for a moment whether she wanted to go with them and have an adventure or stay with Ma'dri and study. The moment turned into two and then three, and then her Mother called her again. Curupira turned in her direction and when she looked at the the three again, she couldn't see them anymore. She decided to go train then. It was the last time she saw them. Her parents searched for them later, other Witches and Jai helped them in their search. Curupira wasn't allowed to leave her home. When they all returned home, she expected her brother and sisters to come with them. They didn't. Curupira had never felt so alone as she did that day and nobody could help her sadness.

Attack of the Nightsisters
Singing Mountain Clan had been at war with the Nightsisters for many generations. Why this war had began, it is unclear. What is known is that it was always particularly bad with the Spider Clan which resided within the caves of their mountain. The attack began on an early morning, much to everyone's surprise. Curupira hadn't even awoken when it started, her Mother waking her up, telling her to get dressed. By the time she came outside with her Mother, Curupira witnessed death for the first time. It shook her up. Witches were falling on both ends, faces she knew and cared for lay still on the ground, their death gazes on her.

Her father came to her by the side and took her hand, pulling her away from one such victim. Curupira looked up at him at one moment and the next he was dead, a spear through his heart. The little girl froze for a moment, staring at him before she turned and saw the Witch that pulled out the spear out of him. She became angry and chanted. The Spell of Crush. Over and over. It didn't work at first but the more she wanted the woman dead, the stronger she felt. The Witch rose the spear to strike her and then it worked, her chants turning into a loud scream. She never had the chance to strike, shattering into a million pieces, just as the rocks had done during her Trial by Fire.

Before she knew it, things had gotten worse. The fighting had become so bad that she couldn't find anyone for a few minutes, causing her to run through the battlefield. She found her mother, laying dead on the ground then. Curupira knelt before her and began to shake her, calling her. She wanted her Mom to wake up, to take her away from here. Na'ala never responded. It was the last thing little Ruu would see that day, when a pair of strong arms grabbed her and covered her face, taking her away. It was the last time she would see her parents and most likely her home.

Slavery
The memories stayed with her, made her wake up at night screaming. She was Curupira D'Arr Hawk at first, a girl who spoke a language nobody understood and cried out for her Mother and Father at night, seeing their dead faces stare at her. What came after Dathomir though was slavery. She was sold quickly and taken to a world where she never saw daylight. She didn't understand at first, any of them. They spoke in words she had never heard, expected to work.

When she received her tool, she struck the guard that had handed it to her. Curupira was punished for her action. She did the same thing the next day and was punished again. The process was continued for weeks to follow but with each day, she fought a little less. A quick learner that she was, Curupira picked up Galactic Basic quickly from the other slaves and the guards. At first, she still spoke her language but less and less. Especially when she woke up from her nightmares, calling her family to ave her. Until she stopped using it at all. No one heard her, no one came to her. She was all alone. At first, she thought in her native language but even that faded away in time. She barely spoke though, expect with a couple of slaves that were nice to her.

Three years passed in the hell she was in and little Curupira couldn't even tell time there. The days seemed short from what she remembered at first but in time, it all just faded away. She slept when she was told and ate when she was told. The rest of the time she worked. Eventually, she was taken away and sold again, for the first time realizing  she was traveling through space.

Freedom bought by Seth Draclau
Sold once again, the eight year old child found herself at an auction, once again scared and in an unfamiliar place. The people working there told her she'd get sold and then she could end up anywhere.

They even gave her examples of how terrible it could be, making Curupira even more scared then she was before that. And yet, when her turn came, two men auctioned for her and she eventually ended up with a man named Seth Draclau. The girl had pictured the worst, having been told terrible stories only to be told she was free.

Such an option would have been well received if Cura remembered where she came from or if her parents were still alive, but she didn't. She remembered her name and she remembered words from her native language, but beyond that, she had no recollection to who she was so she followed the young man that had saved her. She was quickly nicknamed Cura by the man and went on with him.

An Odd Role Model
"You don't have to worry about me ruining whatever you're doing, I'm good with trouble."

- Curupira Hawk

For the next near ten years, Curupira grew up with Seth Draclau, following him wherever he went, not being left behind when he went to do his job. She grew attached to him through those years, considering him a brother, father and a friend even when she knew he was not her kin, it mattered little for her for the most part. A lot of her life was learning. She was taught how to live her life in the culture she was in, or rather how Seth lived his life, she was taught more on Galactic Basic, on mistrusting people, on there being no unacceptable means to protect one's family. Having so much admiration, love and respect for him and not knowing anything about who she was before coming to live with him, Cura would often refer to herself as Curupira Draclau. While the name never became official, in her mind it was. She even picked up on several Force abilities by studying how he did it, as he was a Sith and while she never truly turned to such a life, she finds that she has learned a great deal from what he knew and was willing her teach her.

The Memories...
Yet, as much as Curupira loved Seth and considered him to be family, there were memories from the past that continued to haunt her as she grew older. They were hints, short flashes, details. Like the faces of her parents, the sound of her sister's voices, how much they cared for her and how much she loved them and the more she grew, the stronger her desire to find that past grew, setting Cura to use the little information she actually had to find anything, absolutely anything she could find that would allow her to find out she was. "I'll ask about the dress later... but first... who are you and I'm pretty sure that somehow, as weird as it sounds, and I can't explain this......but I'm fairly certain I know you and I have idea how that is since I don't remember you. Anyway, who are you?"

- Curupira Hawk

The stir of her memories were even more helped when she ran into a man, dressed as a woman, who turned out to be her brother Ahote. Along with him were his monkey Zinger and a man she didn't know. That didn't really stop Cura from tagging along with the two and joining in the not-so-legal activities they were involved in, without even asking too many question.

With her research being fruitful and having found her brother, at the age of seventeen, Cura said her goodbyes to Seth and set out to Dathomir, hoping to find her family still there.

Search for her Sister
It was on her home planet that she discovered the fate of the D'Arr Hawk family, the attack by the Nightsister, the murder of her parents and finally, that her sisters had been taken before she was and taken away from Dathomir years ago. But elder of the Singing Mountain Clan knew who she was looking for and she was the one that pointed to her that her eldest sister, Ti'Cira was with the Jedi and a Knight there. She couldn't tell her what had happened to Áine’ki but at least she had something that would help her on the way. Having learned what she could about her family, Curupira remained on Dathomir only briefly, receiving some more lessons from the Clan Elder, before making her way to the Jedi Council on Naboo where it ended up easy enough to discover her sister who had become well known among the Force Users there, however, for the teenager, it would take time to admit to the truth.

Becoming a Jedi
Oddly enough though, Ti'Cira had been the first to welcome Cura to the Jedi and began her training the very next day. It allowed the girl not only to learn from her but also to get a chance to get to know her sister before she was actually ready to tell the truth. She had given only her name to the other Witch when they first met and for a short while, she wondered if she had done right by concealing the truth from her but what had been done, had been done and there was no turning back.

Dathomiri Jedi Knight
Not too long after her arrival, Curupira began her training with Ti'Cira and was knighted within the Jedi. Though her joy had been short when she felt there was much more to learn and so much more to confess to her Master.

Things I Must Say
"I'm standing before you, Ti'Cira. I'm here because of you. I know about her because she's me... I'm her."

- Curupira Hawk

Finally, after the long enough wait for her, the red head gathered all the courage she possibly could have and headed to her sister to tell her the truth. It wasn't the least bit easy, finally saying it, no matter how badly she wanted it enhanced by the long wait she forced herself into it. She learned two things however.

First was that it was believed she had died in the Nightsister attack, finally explaining to her why she had never been looked for and second, that her sister had adopted a young girl who wasn't even that much younger then her, Dominique England.

First Crush
Not too long after telling Ti'Cira the truth and learning about her adopted niece, the Sweetheart's ball was held on Naboo to which Curupira was glad to attend. Any chance to spend more time with her sister was more then welcomed for the teenager, but she hadn't expected the event to bring her something else.

For the first time in her life, she found herself having odd feelings for a man. He was handsome and charming, had much to say and seemed to have a history with her sister that wasn't all too pleasant and yet even with hearing all that, Curupira wasn't able to stop what she was feeling those moments that confused and interested her all at the same time. Due to an odd turn of events, she ends up offering to claim him that very night, without even fully knowing what it actually means.

Though she does not take back her offer and the Imperial Grand Admiral Delek Wrentar initially accepts it, it's only after her sister's insisting on what it actually means does he decline it. While the girl didn't take that well, she also couldn't do anything to change his mind and at the same time, it hurt her just a tad bit as she had never felt the way she did before than and her first feelings for someone of an opposite gender, in such a manner, becoming her first decline was an experience Ruu didn't quite want to repeat anytime soon.

The Crusade and a Rebel Agent
While the galaxy raged in wars, Curupira did not partake in them. As per her nature, she does not enjoy large wars of worlds and as such, if she can avoid them, she does. This was no different, expect for what happened to her sister, how she later learned of what the galaxy believes of her involvement in the destruction of Taris. As odd as it may be for a Jedi, for Ruu, her sister comes first and such she does not enjoy hearing accusations of what her sister may or may not have done to the Imperial capital.

Not long after her return, Cura met a Rebel agent, Akoma Nero with whom she help clean up Naboo only to go out on a dinner with the man. As interesting as the evening may have been and as much as the man didn't interest her truly, it was good for her because it allowed her to keep her mind away from what happened and none of her family being on Naboo at the time. And quite oddly, she ended up accepting an invitation to the Moonlight Ball on Ilum.

The Lunatic and Madman on Coruscant
With everything that had happened in the recent time, Cura found herself clinging more and more to her old life, and going back to Coruscant often. The first time she returned to it, she longed to spend time with Seth, only to meet another Sith Knight, Voyance with whom she had fun, and not one that should be enjoyed by a Jedi. But the good experience made her return again, not long after, only to go clubbing. It may have been strange, it may have been unexpected but Curupira needed that time on Coruscant to keep her mind off things.

It was one of the evenings, in a club she had never been to, that she met a man that would change her life as much as Seth had. The Sith Master and his sapphire blue eyes caught her attention rather quickly and the games he played on her only made her fall for him even stronger. He's not the kind her sister would probably ever accept, the man literally killed an entire club of people to be alone with her and only to de-virginize her later. That probably added to the impact the madman, Ket Van Derveld, actually had on Curupira and would continue having on her.

Claiming at the Moonlight Ball
It wasn't long after meeting her Sith Master that Curupira was propositioned on joining the Sith but she would counter such an offer by offering to claim Ket first. The Mad Nar Shaddaan accepted her offer and before her sister's best friend Ryori Holloway as their witness and her brother Ahote, who was not so open to the idea, the Jedi and Sith exchanged their vows and became each other's mates.

The Sith Council
Her converting to the Sith was extremely simple. Curupira doesn't much care for factions or good and evil, simply accepts herself for who she is. Only because Ket asked her to change sides and her sister no longer being in the Jedi Order, Ruu simply became a Sith, throwing away her allegence to the good guys but that alone doesn't really change her. Curupira still believes that the good and evil thing is overrated, that it's just about choices really.

Ghosts and Stuff
During her trip to Shaddaa Nar Shaddaa, Ruu met Electrobe and she didn't quite know what ot think of the man with a helmet in rainbow colors at first. Of course, much like it is in her nature, she accepted the odd man quickly enough, learning that he comes from Dathomir as well. Persistent as she is, the redhead quick learned that his real name was Matthew and managed to convince him to lend her his helmet. Through the interesting piece of technology, Ruu saw nice images, including those of a girl Matthew clearly liked. She learned quite a bit from the brief conversation about Io Akima before Ket interrupted with a threat to her new friend. Curupira even went so far to offer her new friend advice on how to ask Io to be his girl.

Yule Ball: Oh, that Magical Feeling!
Raised in a spirit Sithmas, Curupira couldn't resist attending the Yule Ball to which she dragged her Guardian Seth with plans to drink, mess with people and dance. But they ended up reaching only to the drinking part before Ket joined the party in a very Ket-manner.

Tears of Seraphim
Waken up in the middle of the night, Curupira hears her niece Dominique through the Force.

Mated to a Jedi...
Having had her little own adventures as usual, Curupira meets up with Ket on Coruscant, which she learns has become a Jedi planet. And as if that wasn't enough, she also  learns her mate had become one as well. Curupira being herself, however, didn't let the new information change anything as she walked into the Library on Coruscant and met Phylis Alince who wasn't the least bit please that a Sith was roaming their planet.

The Galactic Purge
Finding herself bored of being on one place, Curupira borrowed her mate's ship The Deceased Star, without him knowing, and set course to Coruscant which was, thankfully, once a gain a fun place to be at, having been re-taken by the Sith.

On her way there, she intercepts a transpittion of the Rebellion through which she learns that her niece Dominique is on Yinchorr and there the Sith and Jedi are ready for a dance off. Without a moment's hesitation, she turned the ship to the planet, making her presence known to the Rebels, but mostly to her niece. After all, Curupira was bored.

Let's get Ready to Rumble!
Curupira travels to Bestine, having heard of a shockboxing event being held there. Previously attending the events with her Guardian Seth, Curupira enjoyed them in the past and seeing one again brought out the kid in her. Discovering a girl Kass she met once before on Cato Neimoidia, Ruu sticks around at her ring and cheers for her.

However, in the middle of placing a bet for Kass, she heard the name of her mate blasting through the speakers and the girl from Cato Neimoidia she helped barely registered on her mind anymore as she focused her attention on the other fight.

Don't Want to Change the World...
Having been left alone once again, Curupira traveled to Nar Shaddaa where she would end up running into an alien corpse after having been guided to it by the Force. What she feels there is a hint of her mate Ket which leads her to follow it to an alley where unfortunately the trail runs cold.

What it actually leads her to is a girl called Chloe, whose importance she still does not know. First, in the mist of her ramble to herself, the girl responded, only for the redhead to catch a glimpse of her before experiencing the strangest thing ever - for a brief moment, Ruu could see through the girl's eyes and feel what she felt. That experience along rattled her enough to keep chasing the girl when she bolted in a run, soon from both her and Ket. But in the mist of the pursuit, Ruu failed to notice the growing connection between her and the girl. it went so far that as Ket addressed the girl, she warned him not to scare her and when he caught her, she asked him to ease up on her. Both things, the redhead had never done nor had she believed she ever would. But with this girl, whose one eye matched her gold and the other Ket's blue, Ruu's need to care for her rapidly grew. It all came to make sense as Ket tasted her blood, reading into the fact that she was actually their daughter. Blood, Fire, Wars and Demons at our Side

When she least expected it, Curupira ran into a black haired woman with blue eyes, who seemed to know her but she couldn't quite place her. For a bit. The memories rushed through her though, hints of what was as everything began to fall into place of who the woman was. Ki was first that came to mind, along with that face, when it was much younger. But Curupira, while she could not remember her full name, had been given a crash course by the elder of their clan on all their siblings. And knowing the name and remembering the face and what she used to call her, she knew.

Áine'ki told her about what had happened to her, and the redhead filled her in on her own story. But this proved to be a bit problematic as Ti'Cira herself had told her when she asked that their sister was dead and now she knew better. Áine'ki blamed their big sister for what had happened, that much was obvious but to Curupira, there was hurt but she could never turn her back on family, no matter what they had done. The biggest surprise though was finding out that her sister had already run into her mate but she hadn't heard about it though.

Have Force, Will Travel
It wasn't too long though that Curupira could remain in among the Sith without her mate there so she wandered off, not quite giving her resignation to the Sith Council and made her own way throughout the galaxy. Just for a while though. You see, Ruu got bored way too easily. And when Ruu got bored, trouble followed. Quite a bit of it actually. She liked being entertained, came with the territory of first the youngest of children back when she was a child and later being the adoptive daughter of Seth Draclau who just about always had something up his sleeve to bring a great big grin on her face. Of course, that was way when.

Nowadays, Curupira would travel the galaxy and find new things to keep her entertained but eventually, the fun would wear off. And somehow, Ket always knew the right time to show up again or to send her an invitation to wherever he ended up in. Shouldn't have really been too surprising, Ket knew everything. So when he sent her an invite to the Smuggler's Moon, she was already on the planet though still had some way to go. So, in a very Ruu manner, she made her way over to the building, humming one of her favorite songs, only to have her mood fall at the sight of a "funny guy" threatening her mate. The redhead paid little to mind to Ket's own actions at that point, un-holstering her Dissuader KD-30 and aiming it into the "funny man's" spine.

Embracing the Galaxy
On her way to Dathomir, Curupira is forced to land and refuel the Deceased Star, only to meet a woman by the name of Taleen who too originated from her planet. After a brief introduction, the redhead went on another rant of hers about thieves and pirates, the answer not at all warranted by another person but instead, it resulted on the two setting out to be pirates to have some fun. Dathomir would, after all, wait for her, when this little adventure was done.

Curupira and the Confederacy
Just when things were getting a little boring on her own, Curupira discovered Ket joined the Confederacy and tagged along. Like always she got to meet new people, new things. Like Templars, which was how they called their Force users. Curupira found that too be weird most of the time but in the entire time she was there, she didn't feel like not being a Sith she was.

Knowledge is Power
When one of the Masters summoned them all, Curupira went out to meet other members of their faction, speaking out quickly she was interested in learning about their ways, along side some other useful tricks such as lightning and kinetite. Between her request made and her trainer chosen, Curupira of course got distracted by her mate for a brief while as it usually was, who was there as well to offer his teachings to a select few or particularly one, Marek, who seemed to show quite a bit of promise.

Curupira on the other hand was paired with Isley Verd who would become her next Master, someone she hadn't had in a long time. Right off the bat, she was given a lesson in lightning and how it came about. With the instruction, Curupira searched deep inside her to find the memory that could fuel her. To her own surprise, a distant memory resurfaced, one she had nearly forgotten from her early childhood. It was the memory from the attack, the sight of her father as he was stabbed from the back by a Nightsister, her eyes watching him front the front as it struck him. The range of emotions through his face in that moment imprinted on her mind but in the moment of training, all flashed through her mind as if they'd been happening right in that very moment. The rage that over took her in that moment was sufficient enough for the energy to surge through her, the Force lightning unleashed from her fingertips. Curupira had little control after that though, the currents rushing out of her with little guidance, threatening to spread and harm the present company.

It was in that moment though that Curupira learned something very important inside her. Ket was and would be her anchor for all times. It was his presence there that settled her mind, severing the link to the anger that plagued her mind. It made the lightning fade away, too weak to go on.

Enter the Templar
It didn't take Curupira long to have a better understanding on why Ket had chosen Marek. The young man was curious and productive. When offered to join him on a mission, Curupira agreed, tagging along to see what a Sith Temple held. She seemed to amuse the kid, the redhead realized quickly, but then, it was Curupira after all. She amused herself more often than not.

When You Hear that Trumpet Sound
When Curupira set out once more to find her, it wasn't so hard to find him. When he chose it so. And on Corellia, he didn't hide himself from her. Once Curupira arrived to the planet, it was only a question of finding the bar with the coolest name there. That would be where she could easily find Ket. And she was quite right on that. It was the Dead Man's Hand bar she walked into that night.

But of course, once in the club, Curupira's attention focused on the jukebox, with the appropriate song selected, one of many Ket had introduced her to over the years. Considering what the redhead wore that night and her mode to move to the beat, it caught a little too much attention in the bar, causing her mate, who was in fact there, to go into a delightful protective and jealous fit, ridding them one each and every one of them who chose to make any sort of comment towards her. Unfortunately, the fates wouldn't have it that dealing with those men would give them some alone time because the bartender ended up drawing his weapon on Ket, bringing forth Ruu's anger. But alas, her mate would deal with that one as well, leaving her demon hungry still.

Surrounded by Twi'leks
Once Ket had been given a planet to govern, Curupira rather fancied the name it had given. Vicerine had a beautiful ring to it, she thought. And for a girl who cared little about responsibility, she most likely would have surprised more than a few people who knew from before when she took on her role seriously, jumping in when necessary on the planet when her mate wasn't there. That however resulted in her location being known to a few. Once, a new member of the Confederacy even traveled to the planet to meet her. Curupira found the experience to be quite odd.

Everyone, this is Gnarls
When Isley Verd summoned Zenith Prime, Curupira went, not all too sure why even. But once there, she learned how to befriend animals and talk to them. Not even that was the biggest surprise. Once the lesson was learned, they were introduced to a herd of Varactyls. It was there that she met Gnarls, a male Varactyl. He was a magnificent creature and Curupira instantly felt respect. The animal on the other hand was surprised to understand what she was telling him and gave out his name.

It was the beginning of a wonderful friendship. So much so that their bond required no spells or chants, it formed all on its own. Curupira had only heard of the companionship of a Witch and a rancor but having met Gnarls, she understood and felt it.

Schooling his Apprentice
There was that one time when Ket's apprentice showed up on Ryloth, wanting to get Ruu's advice on how to be in Ket's favor better. As far as the redhead was concerned, he was breathing so he was doing just fine on his own so instead, she educated him on Dathomiri culture and why he shouldn't call her ma'am. And then when Ket joined them, showing off his beautiful tattoos and his scared back, things got a little more interesting.

Before Ruu knew what was happening, Marek attacked her. At first, a simple shield spell did the trick while she worked out just what was happening and why Ket didn't actually lift a finger to stop him. It didn't take long for Curupira to strike back, taunting him with her words while she did. There was even a moment when Marek drained her energy some, slightly messing with her but with just enough head in the gain, Curupira incorporated her dance to save her skin from the flying glass. Eventually though, she doubled her attack with a throw of a vase on one end and her own jump with her raised foot aiming straight for his face. When that confused him, he got hit and fell, getting Ket to end the little sparring time. A rather disappointed master it seemed, and just when the redhead was getting into a mood. The kid needed to be a tad bit more creative anyhow.

1,000 Points of Hate
Trip landed them in Coronet City eventually, where the three landed. Plenty of alarms went of the planet, the local government quickly informed of the arrival. That did little to upset their fun for the time being, snatching some credits, stealing a man's cab, killing the driver, heading out to do some shopping. It would have been all fine if if a random redhead didn't ruin the fun by slapping Ket's apprentice which downright pissed him off. Curupira though was never one to stop a situation. And while she knew Ket would never harm her, she stayed out of the way of any stray power, enjoying the show from a safe distance.

A Witch Among the Wolves
Sticking around close to Ket seemed to be the general theme lately, Curupira realized at one point but hardly complained. However, when he'd took her and his apprentice on a trip to meet a mysterious host, the redhead found herself a tad bit nervous and way more curious than she usually was. And she couldn't quite understand why that was. Not until the Deceased Star finally docked and she was introduced to Cat Van Derveld, Ket's baby brother, and his apprentice. Oh that made the wait to find out the surprise all the more better.

To be continued....
