Physical Description: Hesper is a petite human female with a slim face that sports a long diagonal scar that overlaps her left eye; her left eye has become pale and clouded as a result of the wound, and her other eye is a startling shade of bright grey. She has exceedingly long pale blonde hair, which she rarely styles. Her complexion is fair and her cheeks, chest, shoulders, and arms are generously dusted with freckles. Her expressions usually read as being pensively lonely or as grim scowls. She wears minimal cosmetics, save for the occasional dark eyeshadow or deep red lip (though never simultaneously), and keeps her nails short.
Clothing: Hesper favors simple clothes in black, emerald, or white; she has an affinity for long, shapeless kaftans, gowns, and cloaks, or for well-tailored trousers and flowing blouses or tunics. Hesper ascribes to the "modest is hottest" view of fashion, preferring to cover up than expose skin. When dressing for battle, she may don pauldrons and arm armor. Sometimes wears a sheer full-body veil over her clothing.
Weapons: One slim, long-handled lightsaber with a classic red blade.
She keeps, but does not use, her deceased husband's blue-bladed Jedi saber.
Equipment: None of note.
Vehicles: A Victory I-Class Star Destroyer called
Sibyl III: it is well-equipped for planetary defense and assault, ground troop support, and ship-to-ship combat. This particular Star Destroyer has also had its comm suite upgraded, and hosts a myriad of HoloNet transmitters and receivers, making it an excellent command and communication center.
Sibyl III sports a dark graphite-colored hull, with emerald markings. The original
Sibyl was commandeered and had to be left behind in 5 ABY. The
Sibyl II was sacrificed to a kaggath competition in 156 ABY.
An Executor-class Star Dreadnought called the
Auspex: The
Auspex is a fortress in the sky, equipped with extensive armaments and well-suited for planetary assault, ship-to-ship combat, space battles, and sieges. It carries a large complement, along with over 40,000 troopers. The
Auspex features customized emerald-colored exterior lighting, and a dark grey hull.

Combat Skills: Hesper is an extremely capable user of Telekinetic Force powers, specializing in its applications to the physical world around her, favoring skills such as Force Push, Wave, and Rend. Also possessing the ability to perceive many of the temporal aspects of the Force, Hesper has phenomenal skills in Farsight, Precognition, Shatterpoint, and Psychometry, and is a God-tier practitioner of Darksight. She is an excellent and extremely athletic hand-to-hand lightsaber combatant. Her favored lightsaber combat forms are Ataru and Niman, and she utilizes Sokan and Tràkata. She also excels in skills such as Dark Side Healing, Tutaminis, and Phase.
She is a highly capable combatant with melee weapons beyond the lightsaber, sometimes using swords and quarterstaffs; she is also an intermediate markswoman, though her skill with a blaster has diminished since she lost the sight in her left eye.
Strengths: Creative, intelligent, and adaptable. Hesper is hyper-aware of spatial relations and is wildly inventive in manipulating her physical surroundings. A quick and skilled lightsaber combatant. She is an accomplished scholar and has excellent historical, philosophical, and tactical knowledge. Knows much about art and culture across the galaxy. Very discerning and endlessly patient. As a sculptor, she has an excellent eye for art.
Weaknesses: Distant and emotionally sensitive. Hesper lacks keen Force empathy—mind tricks, probes, and control are not in her wheelhouse. Despite her reclusive and standoffish nature, she is quick to establish deep (and exploitable) loyalty and affection towards the few she deems worthy, and can be vulnerable to feelings of familial and romantic love, as well as compassion.
Her piety to the Dark Side is both a strength and weakness.
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Personality: A woman of few words, Hesper is somber and grim; she keeps a relatively even temper, though this never detracts from her pervasive intensity and the sense that there is always a glimmer of mania just below her surface. She is a master at masking her true emotions, and relies on her reclusiveness to act as an extra layer of emotional defense. She is pensive, thoughtful, articulate, and clever, with a sprinkle or sarcasm.
Fears: Hesper fears the end of all things. She fears loss, betrayal, and non-existence.
Likes: Hesper likes to create art, and greatly enjoys sketching, sculpting with clay, and creating bronzium sculptures of all types. She likes going to galleries, seeing live music and performances, and dining out. She is an avid reader. Enjoys eating sweets and pastries, particularly five-blossom bread from her native Naboo. Likes to win.
Dislikes: People who are cocky, talk loudly, or use a lot of empty words. Dislikes excessive fidgeting like knee bouncing, foot tapping, or drumming fingers. Hates to be interrupted. Strong distaste for politicians.
Habits: Rakes her fingers through her hair when irritated.
Relationships/Love Interests: None.
Masters: Emperor Darth Dreadwar
Apprentices: None.
Reputation: Hesper has secured a formidable reputation as the Butcher of Coruscant, the woman who slaughtered the entire Senate and the Moffs and Grand Moffs of the Federation in one bloody go. She is revered by those who know of her, and respected for her martial skill. As Empress of the Final Sith Order, she is well-respected by her citizens, though is somewhat criticized by other powerful Sith.
