i am thinking about vette dying again
in my legacy, lyn chooses to save torian. she’d previously spared the mandalorians, but had been reassured that she’d made the right choice due to having strong allies in torian and shae. when the time came to choose between torian and vette, valkorion reminded her of that, and spoke about the responsibility that would be on her shoulders if her attempt at showing the mandalorians mercy (even as it went against their culture) resulted in the neo-crusaders gaining power
so she saved torian. in the moment, she knew that it was the ‘wrong’ choice, but she was exhausted and unable to think straight under valkorion’s influence
and then vette died in front of her
lyn had only met vette recently, but they shared some common ground both being twi’lek, and lyn just... liked her. and she was horrified that vette had been killed so cruelly, and killing vaylin was in part a result of her anger at vette’s death
which was something she lived to deeply regret. that day was one of the worst days of lyn’s life, as she genuinely believes that if she had just made different choices, she could have saved torian, vette and vaylin
the whole thing’s made worse when she meets murrae (my warrior), who holds her responsible for vette’s detah. murrae’s honourable and won’t strike against her, but she clearly hates lyn for it, and the judgement is almost more wounding than any physical attack
lyn also becomes extremely invested in the mandalorians not become crusaders again, because if they did, she feels that it all would have been for nothing, and that she ‘sacrificed’ vette for nothing
