Dhanya and Ekaksha

[Sofija]

Dhanya and Ekaksha are my two newest characters, both Togrutas. I figured I'd give a quick background on them. I will be expanding on this and telling more of their current story, but these are their Cliff Notes.

Dhanya and Ekaksha are twins who were born on Shili. But while they were twins, they couldn't be more different. Even while they were toddlers, their disparate personalities were quite noticeable. Ekaksha was always calm and smiling, tranquil and silent while Dhanya was a moody, fussy, tantrum-throwing terror. She could swing from withdrawn to a full blown terror in seconds. The exception was when she was next to her brother. Suddenly, she would be just like him, calm and smiling. Once seperated, the mood swings would start again.
Once they were old enough, they were sent to Tython for training. It was then they discovered the reason for Dhanya's mood swings. While they were both strong in the Force, it affected them differently. For Ekaksha, it was like a peaceful running stream. However, for Dhanya, it was a raging torrent. Her mind was too disorganized and chaotic to properly channel it. It prevented her from being able to concentrate. Thoughts and ideas, memories and smells fought for her attention. Her mind often couldn't keep up with all the senses flooding it resulting in her wild mood swings. Only when she was in the presence of her brother was she able to concentrate. Together, the Force flowed like a mighty river. It fed Ekaksha's natural fighting ability, astonishing the masters of the martial skills while Dhanya could work the Force's healing abilities like the greatest Jedi healers. When it was time to assign them a full time Master to train under, the council found themselves in a quandary. While it seemed wise to keep them together, especially for Dhanya's sake, their skills were too divergent and there was fear that the emotions they would have together could lead to one or both falling to the Dark Side. There was much debate, but by a slight majority, it was decided to assign them to different Masters. While training, they did find one Master who could help Dhanya focus, though not nearly as well as Ekaksha could.
It was while Dhanya was on a mission on Nar Shaddaa, her fall to the Dark Side began when she met a handsome young man. It turned out he was a powerful Sith Lord who saw in her someone he could turn and train. The emotions she felt while with him fueled the river even more eventually leading to her killing her Jedi Master. Ekaksha, hearing about what happened, ignored his Master's pleas and rushed to Nar Shaddaa to save his sister. However, the Dark Side had taken too strong of a hold on Dhanya and she struck back. Seeing him lying in a pool of his own blood, the spell the Dark Side had on her broke and she feared she had killed him. Afraid of what she had done and feared the Jedi would never take her back, she returned to her Sith Master. She tries to return to the Light, but her Sith Master, along with her still inability to keep her moods in check make it hard for her.
Ekaksha survived, though barely. Only an unconscious heal from his sister kept him alive. He finds himself torn now between his duty and Togruta nature to continue to devote his life to the Jedi Order, and a desire to seek out and save his sister, through whatever means necessary.

Thanks The next chapter in Dhanya's story will have her meeting a very unusual Sith who loves pink and Ekaksha considers getting help from a very un-Jedi source
