Kreia/Darth Traya

Warning: Kreia (and KOTOR II) fangirling ahead. XD

1. Kreia's just all around awesome. She's definitely this mixture of Obi-Wan and Palpatine -- but unlike Palpatine, she's not in it for the sake of being evil. She's in it because she genuinely thinks she's doing the right thing -- that, plus considering the galaxy's basically beaten her to the ground (let's say after experiencing the worst of both Jedi and Sith, Kreia's *not* a happy camper, to say the least), plus the whole issue with the Force in the first place -- she has legitimate reasons for wanting to kill the Force. That, plus the fact that she's constantly making you question her motives. She's incredibly bitter -- probably one of the most bitter characters in STAR WARS -- twisted, cynical (and yet strangely optimistic), manipulative, cold -- and yet at the same time, there's a human quality to her in the way she cares about your main character, the Exile -- I think in a way the Exile was the only one to really make her happy, when no one else could.

2. You bet your biscuits! XD Fun fact: Chris Avellone, the main writer on the game, said that Kreia was mostly inspired by the "from a certain point of view" stuff in Episodes V-VI. And it shows, to say the least.

3. Considering all the stuff that's going on in the EU (plus Anakin's story, poor Anakin. :( ), I can definitely sympathize/relate to her. And she really does grip me emotionally -- she terrifies me, but at the same time, she's sympathetic. I definitely know the final showdown with her in the Trayus Core emotionally affected me -- granted, she does Get Better (and it turns out that what she was doing was an act anyways -- yeah, she's pretty confusing like that. XD), but dayum...

4. A helluvalot, to put it mildly. XD

5. Romantic-wise, if you go with the "Kreia-is-Arren-Kae" theory (which puts a very Anakin-esque spin on the whole thing, IMHO), Yusanis (as well as Sion, if only for the emotional Squick factor. Just think Anakin and Palpatine -- with Kreia as Palpatine -- gone horribly, horribly wrong after Anakin decides to snap and go on a rampage). Platonic-wise, Atton (I just love her bickering with him. XD) and the Exile, male or female (God knows the Exile needs it. *Hugs the Exile tightly*), as well as Atris (just for the mirrors thing), Revan (it's my headcanon that they had a pretty good relationship before Revan fell -- and even after, considering how Kreia defends him/her) and Brianna (again, leading back to the Kreia-as-Kae theory).


6. Probably have her survive Malachor V.

7. I doubt I'd get along with Kreia very well, but we'd have interesting conversations to say the least. That, or I'd run like hell. XD

8. Favorites.

9. Hype up, probably. She definitely makes KOTOR II worthwhile, IMHO.

10. She's very polarizing. Then again, a lot of KOTOR II is polarizing, to put it mildly.
