Recently I've been thinking about Devon meeting Ahsoka or Ezra or some other Jedi (after having been Maul's apprentice for a time, but appearing as a Jedi for now)
Ahsoka is very glad to meet another Jedi, even tho Devon definitely gives off vibes like she's been going through a lot. Devon, too, is happy to work alongside someone competent.
Her saber form is great and she's the right kind of sneaky, doesn't mind cooperating with Rebels or Mercenaries alike. Both valuable in a scrap and as the getaway driver. Has a way with words, too.
Really, working with her is neat and Ahsoka is starting to like having another lady with lekku around.
And then a mission goes south badly and they're cornered and Devon is losing it. Ahsoka tries reassuring her it'll get better, help is on the way but she's not listening and the enemy is closing in and-
Her scream is deafening (especially through the Force) but what's worse is how she goes from carefully considering her strikes to being a sheer storm of chaos. Cutting off limbs left and right, tossing objects with the Force, constantly jumping and dashing until all of them are destroyed.
When the smoke clears, what remains is less a battlefield and moreso a massacre. Ahsoka sees it and knows, deep in her bones, what, or rather, who this is. She looks up from the corpses strewn around and her eyes find Devon's and for mere moments she thinks she can see a red, horned Zabrak standing pridefully in her stead.
Then her vision clears and Devon is gone, vanished into the Shadows whence she came, and Ahsoka can do nothing but mourn another Jedi lost...
