★ Folkmore Roles & Attributes ★

Skills: Mechanics, stealth, lightsaber forms, dual wielding, piloting, meditation, acrobats, strategy, hand-to-hand combat, farming, multilinguistic
Canon Abilities: Ahsoka is a Force user and has been training since childhood to hone her connection and abilities. This gives her a sense of empathy, telekinesis, visions/dreams, limited telepathy, and other such things. It also give her enhanced capabilities like speed, agility, senses, and strength beyond what her species is typically capable of. A more detailed outline of her abilities can be found here.
Role: Familiar
Role Qualities/Attributes: Her main form would be a Convor - this owl-like creature has been apart of Ahsoka's life ever since she encountered the Daughter (a being who embodied the Light side of the Force) and was revived by her last remaining strength. The Convor is a symbol of the Daughter, and one appears near her in future events. These birds work in pairs to fend off predators which symbolizes her history as a Padawan in a Master-Padawan team. At times she would be able to use the sharp eyesight of the Convor or the wings to fly.

Her secondary and more combat-able form would be that of a Raxshir - the very first creature that Ahsoka ever truly connected with and befriended. These creatures are violent and will hunt the Togrutas of her homeworld, large and fierce, yet also connected to the Force as all things are. Unlike the Convors, Raxshirs appear to be solitary creatures who hunt and live alone, which can represent her striking out on her own and living alone in solitary after Order 66.

Role Reasoning: Once Ahsoka may have fallen into the Legend role, but since being betrayed by her closest friend, she has left the life of being "only good" of thinking about what is right for the collective and not for each individual. She may not be the perfect balance that her older version is, but that is where she's heading. A place between good and evil, black and white. Ahsoka left the light to walk a road that may be cast in shadows, but she hasn't fallen to the darkness and seeks to walk in-between.

I would like Ahsoka to continue her journey on the new path she has found for herself. At her current canonpoint, she's only just decided to help form a Rebel Alliance against the Empire - deciding to try to help the suffering people after all the wars she fought. It would be fun to have her "Dedicate" herself to either a Legend or Myth and try to help them find a little more balance. While Ahsoka isn't quite at the stage of lending her mortal enemies a hand, she would be willing to help those who haven't yet hurt her or the people she cares about.

★ Personality ★

Option 2.

What experience challenged your character's core beliefs? How did they handle this or change from it?

The bombing of the Jedi Temple was her biggest challenge in life. It shook everything she ever knew and believed in as she was considered the main suspect due to her closest friend's betrayal. She was set up and nearly everyone turned their back on her, shaking her trust in not only the Jedi Council but also the trust in herself. This lead to the biggest decision of her life where she left the Jedi Order. Having spent time away, she has had an outsider's view of the Jedi and their role in the war. She no longer considers herself a Jedi, but still does follow some of their core beliefs - such as helping people in need.

What is the most important and defining relationship(s) in your character's life and why?

It shouldn't be a surprise that Anakin is her most important relationship. He was the one who guided her Jedi training and taught her many things about life. Even though he wasn't a "perfect" Jedi, Ahsoka saw his struggles and in some ways, was a miniature version of him. He believed in her, trusted her, and was essentially her big brother. Anakin always did what it took to make sure she had the skills needed to survive in a war-torn galaxy and leaving him behind was the hardest thing she ever did.

What is your character's moral code? Do they have one? Why or why not?

Even though Ahsoka has left the Jedi Order, she still thinks some of the things they did were right. She continues to help people in need no matter the risk it may put her in. She can't stand idly by while other people are suffering or about to be sentenced to death. Ahsoka wouldn't hurt those who aren't actively trying to hurt other people or herself, and she'd never betray someone just to put herself in a better position.

Is your character capable of forgiveness or will they hold a grudge until they die? Would anything ever make them change their mind?

Ahsoka has not yet reached the capability of being able to forgive people, she tried to master this while still a Jedi but wasn't entirely successful. She does hold on to grudges, but if she saw/felt a real change in someone, she may be willing to at least give them a try. Even if Ahsoka can't forgive someone at the moment, she is capable of using them to her own means. Such as setting Darth Maul free to escape the clones trying to kill her.

What is a time where your character failed drastically at something and how did it impact them, what did they do about it?

First Battle of Felucia, it was Ahsoka's first time taking command of the troops where she led them into battle to break a blockade on a planet. Her inexperience and stubborn pride prevented her from pulling back when it was clear her troops were overwhelmed. She even went against orders up until the point where her Master had to come out and save her life. It made her realize that she should be listening to the advice of those more experienced than her and that it isn't worth her life or the lives of her men to push an attack when they are clearly failing. This lesson has made Ahsoka a better commander and strategist, eventually earning her the respect of her men by doing her utmost to keep them alive.
