#she witnessed the neglect that knights like ryscha suffered and wanted that to change

[raven-of-domain-kwaad]

Ryscha and Amarra are forever in my heart ofc, but I'd would love to see more of Bryala, Kelsa and Biraka!

Aw, I'm glad you like the Kine sisters! I do spoil them with more attention than my other OCs though lol

Bryala makes a habit of visiting Nathema and the Sanitarium to remind herself what the pursuit of power can do. While Nathema itself was slowly recovering, she could still feel the pain and suffering that her aunt Vaylin went through as a child. She wants to constantly remind herself the cost of power so that she will never be tempted to follow a similar path to her grandfather, the Emperor. (For context, Bryala fears her heritage as the granddaughter of the Emperor. She worries that his corrupting influence may impact her one day)

On a happier note, she sometimes gets visits from both Kira Carsen and Scourge. They tell her stories of her mother, Ryscha and also teach her whatever they can about the force and life in general. Scourge might not say it but Kira speaks for them both when she says that they care about Bryala very much and want their friend’s daughter to do well in life.

After joining the Mandalorians, Kelsa used Sith alchemy to enhance the strength of the beskar armor she was given. It also gave her armor the ability to absorb and store the power of force lightning which she could then discharge back at them once she hit her opponent. She felt it was a fitting way to honor her Sith heritage while still embracing her new Mandalorian family.

She would go on to teach others similar techniques and eventually formed her own Clan which was full of force sensitives looking for something other than the Jedi and Sith. Because of the potential dangers of a Mandalorian Clan of force sensitives, Clan Kine was forever neutral in any Mandalorian political disputes and even had the right to refuse Madalore’s call if the call might expose their force sensitivity to the galaxy.

As Grand Master of the Order, Biraka actually worked hard to distance the Order from the Republic especially the military. She understood the need for Jedi to help the Republic and she supported the ideals of democracy but she felt that the Jedi had become too closely linked with the government and military.

Her experiences during the Second Galactic War in particular made her want the Jedi to remain independent so that Knights like the late Hero of Tython, Ryscha Kine, would not be used by the military until they reached their breaking point. She wanted the military exploitation of Knights and the High Council’s tacit approval of such things to stop. So while some like Gnost-Dural wished to be a part of things like Task Force Nova, Biraka took a stance against it and encouraged other Jedi to not join the growing task force despite the outbreak of the Third Galactic War.
