The Clone Wars[]
The outbreak of the the Clone Wars gave the Coven the chance to rise within the ranks of Dooku's agents. Their success rate earned them both rewards and more missions from their patron.

Saato, another Nightsister independently recruited by Dooku, especially resented the Coven and for reasons unclear made Toraleah the focus of her scorn. Toraleah herself was both amused and annoyed at having a self-proclaimed rival but did not consider Saato to be any sort of real threat.

—Excerpt from the Sith tome that inspired the creation of Toraleah's's lightwhip
Toraleah was a skilled user of the lightwhip. Initially she used a ligthwhip with a red synthetic lightsaber crystal. But after several successful missions Count Dooku furnished her with a violet Hurrikaine crystal as a reward and as his own private poke in the eye to Mace Windu.
She was a skilled user of the Inertia Force ability which she often used to run up walls and perform otherwise seemingly impossible acrobatic stunts. This, combined with her use of Force Speed, Force Jump and Ataru training provided by Tol Skorr, allowed her to hit her foes quickly from almost any angle. Her talent in this area sprung from years of training in the Nightsister's version of the Art of Movement.
