Kavasi

Kavasi was a female En'kah "feral" shapeshifter who became a Novice of the Order of Keltrayu after being rescued from ritual sacrifice by Azalyn Kass`l.

Biography
Kavasi was born on Korratoa in 138 ABY, and was one of the rare members of her species capable of full shapeshifting, rather than the usual partial transformations common to the En'kah. When Kavasi turned eighteen, her tribe, in keeping with their normal cultural practice, planned to sacrifice Kavasi to their god by leaving her to die at the talons of the native Inarii. However, Azalyn, who was blessed with foresight beyond the powers of any Centurion, foresaw Kavasi's death and begged Rin Sakaros's permission to intervene. Rin sent Azalyn, along with Luna Raquelsei, Vos'elk'eetash, and Aria Nikina herself, on a mission to Korratoa. Kavasi managed to escape her bonds on the sacrificial altar, and Azalyn and the Centurions arrived in time to save Kavasi from the Inarii.

The strike team took Kavasi back to the Sith Star with them, and Kavasi became a Novice of the Order of Keltrayu. Coming from a technologically primitive world, Kavasi was uncomfortable with many aspects of life aboard the Star and often shapeshifted as a reaction to stress or fear. However, she grew very close to and protective of Azalyn, especially when she understood how Azalyn had saved her, and Azalyn in turn helped Kavasi integrate into the Order's culture.

Meanwhile, on Korratoa, the En'kah were mystified by Kavasi's escape and the charred corpses of Inarii they found nearby. Theories ranged from Kavasi escaping to haunt the forest to her being assumed, body and spirit, by Yl'umen Inarii.

Powers and abilities
Kavasi's latent Force sensitivity endowed her with unusually fast reflexes even before she was trained, which contributed to her escape from the Inarii sacrifice altar. When she began training with the Order, Kavasi showed herself adept at both armed and unarmed combat; within a year of her rescue, she was assigned to a three-on-one spar against Selkee along with the much more senior (though younger) Novices Hamek and Seeg-Til.

Appearance and personality
Kavasi had a lithe, muscular build. She had a mane of wild black hair and gleaming amethyst eyes, and cultural tattoos on her pale skin. In her lycanthropic form, she had shaggy black fur and sharp claws, and her body was slightly longer than her humanoid form was tall.

Kavasi demonstrated intense will to survive when she escaped from the Inarii which were supposed to be ritually consuming her, and was able to adapt to the circumstances of the Sith Star with time. During her early years as a Novice, she was often frustrated when she could not learn or communicate quickly enough, especially before she had a reasonable grasp of Orhyo or. She maintained a number of superstitious habits from her native culture. She was also very protective of Azalyn.
