Darth Maula (AU)

Darth Maula, in an alternate universe, was a female Zabrak Sith lord and the apprentice of Darth Sidious. She was raised on the planet Dathomir, until Sidious took her in to train her in the ways of the dark side, during the time he still trained under Darth Plaguis. She helped with the Invasion of Naboo in hunting down Jedi Master Dafanie and her padawan learner, Jek Tarrun. She killed Dafanie on Naboo and was left for dead after her defeat by Jek. However, at the near end of the Clone Wars, she would be recruited by Darth Snoke (Jar Jar Binks), but then defeated for the last time on Mustafar at the hands of Jedi Knight, Anakin Skywalker.

Early Life and History
Maula was born on the witches planet of Dathomir. Littie is known about her childhood, but she was eventually taken in by Darth Sidious, apprentice of Darth Plaguis.

As time would go on, Maula's connection with the dark side would grow stronger with each day of training. She gained a really awful temper and learned to use hatred to keep herself vitalized. She also achieved magnificent lightsaber skills, especially with a double-bladed one.

Naboo Invasion
In the year 32 BBY, Maula was assigned to aid Viceroy Nute Gunray of the Trade Federation to hunt down and capture Jedi Master Dafanie, and her apprentice, Jek Tarrun. After the two Jedi escaped the planet with Queen Jobal Naberrie, he followed them to the planet Tatooine.

Eventually, the queen and Jedi forged an alliance with the gungans who inhabited the planet's swamps. With the gungan army distracing the bulk of the Trade Federation's droid armies, the queen, her royal guard and the Jedi could sneak into Theed and take back the palace. When the group ran into Darth Maula, Dafanie and Jek engaged in a lightsaber duel, while the queen and her guard took the long way to the throne room. The duel took Maula and the two Jedi to on high bridges and past laser walls. The duel resulted in the death of Dafanie, but Jek took his late master's lightsaber to cut Maula in half. He watched as Maula top and bottom halves plummeted down the hole and left her for dead.

The Clone Wars
Almost ten years after Maula's defeat on Naboo, the galaxy was engulfed in a bloody war between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independant Systems (CIS). On the junk yard planet of Raxus Prime, Maula was driven insane, but alive. Her singular hatred for Jek kept her alive despite was happened to her. She eventually assembled a scorpion-like lower half until she was found by her brother, Savage Opress.

After being brought home to Dathomir, the mother witch healed Maula, restoring her mind and sanity and creating a new pair of mechanical legs. After being restored, Maula sought revenge on Jek and Savage promised to help. Eventually, the two dark side siblings would become allies of Death Watch and their leader, Pre Viszla. Together, Viszla and the two Sith recruited the crime families and managed to take control of Mandalore and locked Duchess Satine in the dungeon. Soon afterwords, Viszla betrayed to two Sith lords and locked them up too. After breaking free, they recruited Almec to make him their puppet Prime Minister of Mandalore. But first, Maula took control of Mandalore and Death Watch after defeating and kiling Pre Viszla in a duel.

Upon hearing about what happened on Mandalore, Jek Tarrun chose to intervene. However, Maula counted on it and wanted to make him suffer, as she did. So she and Savage killed Satine right in front of him in the throne room and locked him up. Satine's sister, Bo-Katan Kryze, broke him out soon after. During Jek's escape, Maula's former master, Darth Sidious, visited her on Mandalore and saw that she had become a rival. Wielding dual lightsabers, Sidious killed Savage and mortally wounded Maula. However, he said he wasn't going to kill her, he had 'other uses' for her.

After the Wars
After the duel on Mandalore, Darth Sidious kept Maula locked away in his part of the Senate Building. After Sidious' defeat at the hands of Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu, Darth Snoke (Jar Jar) saw an opportunity to strike. He found Sidious' secret detention area and released Maula. Grateful, Maula joined Jar Jar's side. Jar Jar sent her to wipe out the leaders of the CIS in a lava mining facility on Mustafar. When Jar Jar revealed himself to be the lord of the Sith, he showed that Maula and 'taken care of' the Separatists. Hearing this, Anakin Skywalker went to Mustafar and engaged Maula in a duel. During the fight however, the anti-gravity machinery keeping parts of the facility suspended over the lava rivers.

The duel soon took Anakin and Maula floating over the lava river. Then, Anakin leapt and landed on the high ground. Maula tried to take him out in a leap, but Anakin cut her head off during her leap. Maula's head was left to rot on the grounds while her headless and mechanized body rolled down into the lava river and burned up.

Personality and Traits
Maula is very much the female version of Darth Maul. Like him, she was bald with sharp horns and her body was completely red with black tattoos. Also like Maul, Maula has an awfully short temper and easily get angry when she doesn't get her way.
