ASAJJ VENTRESS is THIRTY-ONE years old, and hails from THE DEAD. she is ADAMANTINE yet VITRIOLIC, and looks a lot like PHOEBE TONKIN.
hi, i’m louise ! sorry i’m so late with this intro, the holidays were wild. i’m super excited to bring you all the loml asajj ventress.
okay so i know not everyone has seen the clone wars but i’ll just quickly describe ventress from the wiki ! she was born on dathomir and was raised by a group called the nightsisters. they later were forced to sell her into slavery and life was pretty terrible for ventress until she was rescued by the jedi knight ky narec ! he became her master and she his padawan. things were looking good for ventress until her master died which broke her heart and started her on the path of the dark side.
she was then discovered by count dooku and fell under his guidance and tutelage as a dark acolyte and aspiring apprentice. ventress later became a commander in her master's separatist droid military and an assassin in the employ of the sith. she was frequently sent out on missions to sabotage any jedi’s hope of success. however, she was often in competition with general grievous for attention.
as the war progressed, dooku's own master, darth sidious, became increasingly wary of ventress's growing strength in the force and ultimately ordered the confederate leader to eliminate his apprentice in a show of loyalty. dooku complied, and during the battle of sullust, betrayed ventress and ordered her own forces to execute her. left for dead, ventress survived and clawed her way back to her homeworld of dathomir to seek refuge and revenge. after a failed attempt to assassinate the count, ventress and the leader of the nightsisters, mother talzinm moved to install a pawn of their own close to dooku as his new assassin and apprentice. To that end, ventress selected the zabrak nightbrother savage opress to be gifted to dooku and eventually to aid her in his murder.
this plan also went awry after opress rejected both Ventress and dooku and nearly killed them both. resolving to make a new life for herself, ventress returned to dathomir to formally rejoin her clan and forgo further plans for revenge, but dooku would not have it. the count targeted the nightsisters for harboring his former apprentice and dispatched grievous and his droid army to massacre the dathomirian witches. mother talzin and ventress were the only survivors of the slaughter and were forced to separately flee dathomir to escape dooku's wrath.
ventress was deeply hurt by the loss of her newfound family and so took to wandering the galaxy in search of a purpose, ultimately turning to bounty hunting, and finding a good measure of success in the business. this work forced her to adopt a series of unexpected alliances—she rescued obi-wan kenobi from the clutches of darth maul and savage opress, who had recently apprenticed himself to darth maul—and worked alongside anakin's apprentice, ahsoka tano, when tano was falsely accused of bombing the jedi temple. near the end of the clone wars, she encountered quinlan vos, a jedi master tasked with assassinating count dooku to end the war. vos partnered with ventress under the guise of a fellow bounty hunter but ultimately revealed his identity and purpose.
ventress trained vos in nightsister culture and dark-side skills to prepare for a strike against dooku, but their attempt to kill the count failed, and she was forced to flee while he was taken into confederate custody. she eventually worked with kenobi and skywalker to rescue vos, but months of torture at dooku's hand had turned him to the dark side. although ventress sensed his fall, vos refused to believe his own darkness and was again sent to kill dooku by the jedi council.
she joined him on this final mission, but it was met with failure when vos gave himself fully to the dark side. ventress reluctantly helped vos and dooku in fleeing from jedi pursuit but refused to embrace the dark side once more. instead, she sacrificed herself when dooku attempted to kill vos with force lightning by absorbing the blast to protect him. her death finally motivated vos to renounce the dark side, and she was honored for her sacrifice by the jedi council. ventress' body was later laid to rest in the waters of her clan's village on dathomir.
now she’s woken up on naboo with little to no idea on what year it is, why she’s alive again and who is behind everything that has been going on. it’s wild. come plot with my babe, she needs all the connections !
