Appearance:
~The Armour~
Sei's armour was crafted by a master metal smith of the Mandalorians with her help. This armour is not just for protection, it is a statement and a reflection of who Sei is. Made of only the finest Beskar the armour has been polished to receive its beautiful finish while still retaining its threatening and memorable appearance.
Built with speed in mind it delivers good protection while still allowing full range of body motion, comfort and less weight than ordinary armours used by Mandalorians. Perfectly suited to Sei's preferred style of unarmed combat it allows for peak performance and speed both helping with Sei's chosen forms of martial art; K'thri and Teras Käsi. The armour also has an interesting choice of weaponry with wrist blades allowing for quick kills on targets that get caught off guard. On top of that two blades sprout from each foot adding more back for the buck when kicking an opponent.
Pieced together to avoid plates rubbing and any unneeded sound being produced helps Sei when performing tasks requiring high amounts of stealth. Several gaps are covered with bits of loose black material for breathability as well as avoiding common problems with overheating/dehydration.
~The Lady Behind The Mask~
At first glance the thing you notice is that Sei is incredibly beautiful. Her brunette hair holds tints of blonde and gold, while her eyes are a bright amber colour that sparkle in the right light. For a warrior she no scars on her face, a lot of which has to do with her choice to engage in unarmed combat with foes.
At 5'5" she is not super tall but is not short either but has a very petite yet athletic figure, allowing her to move swiftly while compromising on raw strength. Luckily her body composition suits her chosen martial arts both of which rely on agility. Across her torso she has a few scars with the largest being across her back.
Lastly Sei's legs are quite muscular, but don't look fat. A lot of conditioning has gone into them and help her to kick surprisingly hard, in a number of ways; flurries, spin kicks and backflip kicks are all delivered with supreme accuracy and superior speed.
Her fighting style is very acrobatic. Although she does not flip over people’s heads, she does incorporate a lot of unorthodox movements which keep her opponent off guard and guessing.
Personality:
Sei has a very selfless personality to her kin, while she shows an extremely cold and un inviting side to those outside her select circle, often Sei will separate herself from newer members of the clan until they have proved themselves worthy of her company. Often this is as simple as helping out other members, volunteering for working and getting stuck in. Members who shy away from Sei initially loose kudos in her eyes making it much harder to earn her respect. She would never let her views on other members compromise their well-being nor allow her lack of respect for another individual effect the clan in any way. Willing to die for any Mandalorian her patriotism knows no boundaries and she is often the first into a breech with her KR-34c. Her protective instinct is comparable to the primal instincts of many animals protecting their young.
Sei has a sick sense of humour, this is mostly down to her desensitisation to violence. She is not afraid to give anyone a bit of stick but is also willing to receive the friendly banter given out by her peers, to a certain point however those who over reach in an attempt to embarrass or mock her have been found tasting the ground. Other Mandalorians hold Sei in high regard, especially those who have fought alongside her. "Ruthless, Vicious, Courageous, Brave and Emotionless" are just some of the terms that have been used by her peers to describe her. A total contrast on her appearance it’s weird to think that such raw terms could be used to best describe Sei. This sometimes plays into her favour, Hubris, Don't judge a book by its cover.
Sei often talks about how she feels safer in combat. This is often down to her being extremely comftable in that situation due to her confidence in her fighting prowess. Not afraid to big herself up and rise to a challenge on many occasions Sei has found herself punching above her weight only to come out on top from sheer stubbornness and commitment to success. This also ties into her competitive nature and her refusing to settle for second best.
Possessing only an average intelligence Sei is far from a genius. She chooses to dedicate her life to the martial arts as well as the ways of war and her clan it is here that Sei's true genius lies and is why she sustains a superior fitness level to others less dedicated than her. Though she does not resent those who are highly intelligent she does dislike people pushing their weight around when that's all they have to show. Respect is earned and no amount of general knowledge, money or paper stating grades would ever compensate.

Skills:
- Master of K'thri: K'thri was an ancient style of martial arts dating back to the time of the Old Republic. The nature of K'thri was significantly different from that of the Echani style. Instead of using bold, brutal movements, K'thri instead focused on fast movements and fluid strikes, along with excellently balanced footwork to maintain the precision of the form.
- Near Master of Teräs Käsi: Teräs Käsi enabled a user to develop extreme speed, and an aptitude for anticipating strikes, most notably shown by clone assassins. In addition to this, Teräs Käsi taught non force sensitives how to close their minds to Jedi and Sith, thus protecting themselves from mental based attacks.
- Piloting.
- Good with Creatures/Animals.
- Olympic Level Parkour/Gymnastics..

Bio:
3,628 BBY:
At the start of 3,628 BBY the clan of Fo'tuda had just disbanded leaving many of its members scattered, including a married couple. They were called Thorzan and Kayla. Neither born of a Mandalorian family but both possessing the qualities and attributes often associated with the Mandalorians. They sought out the legendary warriors and earned their places in a clan. It was fate that too beings so similar could come together, bound by honour and battle it was here that the journey begins...
Kayla was a female Kage, as with many Kage she was a master of the unarmed combats. Possessing strength enough to effectively perform Wrruushi a rare thing for anyone other than a wookie to be able to do, she was a valuable member to the Fo'tuda clan for many years before conflict in the clan eventually left it disbanded. It was this strength as well as many other defining qualities that attracted Thorzan to her.
Thorzan was a mountain of a human and the picture of what a warrior should be. Standing at just over 6'5" he was a menacing and beastly figure who prided himself on his various battle prowess. After proving himself on several occasions he eventually won the heart of Kayla and they were wed on Mandalore. Shortly after Kayla fell pregnant, and when the clan eventually folded they left Mandalore in search of a purpose.
Thorzan had little care were they ended up, his only care was being a Mandalorian. Kayla on the other hand always looking to broaden her horizons in the field of unarmed combat took them to the planet of Bunduki seeking the Followers of Palawa, Masters of the martial art known as Teräs Käsi as well as its creators the Followers of Palawa claimed Bunduki as their new home after the destruction of their home world Palawa.
It was here on the planet Bunduki that Sei'Te'Oun was born. The first year of her life was just as that of a regular baby. The only irregularity is that Sei did not cry or show pain when falling over etc. She had warriors blood and in place of the soppy fairy tales the aristocrats and senators of Corruscant red their kids, Thorzan and Kayla read Sei tales of war and valour from hundreds of years of Mandalorian culture, talked about the clans and preached the Resol'Nare or Six actions.
"I adhere to the Resol'nare. The core of what it means to be Mandalorian. A sacred law giving us direction and purpose. Education and armour, self-defence, our tribe, our language, our leader—all help us survive. We must educate our children as Mandalorians, obey the commands of Mandalore, speak Mando'a and defend our clans."
?Akaavi Spar
3,627 BBY:
Sei's family lived just has Mandalorians did, and as her family had done for many, many years. A large vheh'yaim was constructed. They had recently abandoned their old home after Kayla proved herself worthy of studying the teachings of Teräs Käsi. Now they lived on the outskirts of the temple, it provided easier travel for Kayla while Thorzan looked after the still infantile Sei'Te'Oun.
Every morning, Kayla would follow the same routine. Getting up she would head for her daily lessons on the teachings of Teräs Käsi, before returning home and spending a good part of the day practicing what she had learnt. Sei was far too young to understand the complex movements being performed, however she would often sit and watch her mother perform these things with help from her father. Kayla was also instructing Thorzan on the martial art known as K'thri. Family time, as with all Mandalorians was paramount to keeping together as a unified community. Embracing the concept of aay'han it was important to Sei's family to remain as one, as well as remembering those no longer of this world.
The days flew by and Sei was developing quite the appetite, it was good to see as it meant that she was developing well. She had also taken her first steps mid-way through the year, and was becoming quite the handful for Thorzan. Now that she could stand Sei would often attempt to shadowbox along with her mother and father whose training was coming on nicely. As the Followers of Palawa became more accustomed to the Mandalorian family, they developed friendships and would often visit the vheh'yaim that they were staying in. Stories of another Mandalorian reached the ears of the family a woman by the name of Jorra. It wasn't uncommon for outsiders to seek the teachings of the Teräs Käsi it seemed.
Kayla began to get obsessive over the learning of Teräs Käsi. It began to become part of anything and everything , while training no less that 110% was enough. Although she was too busy to notice, natural talent and accidental practice had resulted in Sei being able to perform some basic combos. Nothing too complex, just series of jabs and kicks but it was a perfect head start. Kayla would often return exhausted, during these times she found comfort alongside her family and Sei found comfort in her.
The life was good. The life was Mandalorian.
3,626 BBY:
The family remained on Bunduki, however they had moved within the confines of the Temple of the Followers. There was no real reason for the move, they had been fine but it did make it easier for Kayla to train and contribute to raising Sei a little more. It wouldn't be long before Sei was ready to start training, and it was Mandalorian tradition for the same sex parent to train the child.
Not that Sei wasn't learning on her own. She did sometimes get mixed up with the movements, combining what she saw her mother practice and what she saw her father get taught. While the speed one develops while learning Teräs Käsi helps K'thri vice versa the knowledge of balancing learnt while practicing K'thri is similarly transferable to Teräs Käsi. Sei's parents had noticed by now, but the plan was to begin her training aged 4 and that's what they would stick to.
When Sei began speaking, it was Mando'a. Of course it was, that's all her parents spoke in unless another language was required. It was at this point the development of Sei really began rocketing. She could ask questions about the movements, even if she didn't fully understand what she was asking. When she wasn't napping she was eating or shadowboxing, as she grew the un-refined combinations of kicks and punches developed into swift jabs and powerful kicks (Well powerful by a 3 year Old's standard.) Even the members of the Followers of Palawa started to recognise the basics of Teräs Käsi being developed un-aided by the child, it was impressive to say the least.
As the year progressed on, worrying news reached the ears of Kayla and Thorzan. A few members of their old clan had grouped up, within that few were the members of the clan who started all the arguments in the first place. Now with a child, neither of them could risk reforming the clan, to have the same disagreements prop up again and endanger Sei. Sadly, a return to peaceful life was unlikely if they chose not to join their Mandalorian kin. Messages of reformation turned into threats of violence and before long they had people after them.
3,625 BBY:
Kayla and Thorzan wanted things to remain as normal as possible during these times. It wasn't that they were worried about Sei witnessing combat, however they had a duty of care to their child and she could not defend herself if trouble brewed. She was 4 years old now. As promised training had begun. Kayla set Sei on a strict program, combination of combat, cardio and survival skills were the starting points.
For the combat Sei was allowed to join her mother every day in her training of Teräs Käsi. The Followers as well as Kayla herself would identify the pros and the cons of what Sei developed in the years shadowboxing and improve on what was needed. It was important to get the basic's down. No need to run before you could walk, especially in something that could one day prove vital to Sei's life and death.
For the cardio aspect of Sei's regime, push ups, sit ups, squats and running were all done. The running would increase Sei's endurance while she was fighting, teach her how to control her breathing and increase her lung capacity. Not only that she would see a noticeable increase in her speed as her muscles grew. The muscle growth was also aided by the push ups, sit ups and squats. At first Sei required a little assistance, much like a spotter on bench press Sei’s parents helped her lift her bodyweight until she could perform the actions alone.
Lastly the survival skills that were taught were; tracking, foraging, and identifying certain plant species and how to generally live of the land. These skills were important, in war Sei may have supplies cut off to her and the people she is with, it would be these skills that would keep her alive. Thorzan couldn't stress enough how important this aspect of her training was, but while Sei heeded her father’s words, all she had on her mind was Teräs Käsi and K'thri most of the time.
Training continued on throughout the year that followed, any word from those once threatening the family seemed to have fallen silent, but Sei's parents remained alert and vigilant at all times encase the unexpected did happen and they were attacked.
3,624 BBY:
Sei was coming on in leaps and bounds, her training and well generally growth was almost perfect. As in all things though with the good, there is bad and eventually the family ties to the now reformed Fo'tuda clan resulted in a devastating blow to the family.
Thorzan was out, gathering food as he did often when a group of Mandalorians ambushed him. Thorzan fought bravely and for his troubles received a warrior’s death. It was hours before Kayla arranged a search for her husband. Sei was told to stay at home, under the protection of the followers. To take her mind off of what was currently going on they did some extracurricular work with Sei. It wasn't anything huge, at least it didn't seem so but it helped identify all the flaws in Sei's current progress and start her on a path to iron them out.
When Kayla finally returned she was emotionally drained, and distant. Even the young Sei understood now what had happened. She had heard enough war stories to know death. Neither of the two cried, but for the next few days they mourned the only way a Mandalorian family could. Efforts were doubled in Sei's training, Kayla stopping hers all together to perfect her daughters. Sei wasn't just Kayla and Thorzan's daughter, she was a reflection of them, their family legacy and she would be the one who would one day ascend to greatness and avenge her father.
Martial arts became Sei's life. Still only young Kayla helped develop her into a ferocious, cold hearted warrior. Though some of her techniques were rather un-orthodox she got the results required and in small amounts of time. She even spared against the Sei so she could understand pain and increase her pain barrier.
3,623 BBY:
The time of mourning had passed by 3,623 BBY. Sei had been training now for just over two years and it showed. Her punches and kicks have become swift and true allowing her to not only strike with speed and precision, but bone-shattering power. Some aspects had to be glazed over, Sei's body was not yet developed enough to begin the more advanced training of Teräs Käsi like her mother did. Eventually she had covered everything there was to be covered until she was older, it was at this time that Kayla began instructing her more on the martial art K'thri. It was a different kettle of fish that Teräs Käsi, it was one of Kayla's perfected martial art forms of which she had mastered to the highest degree. Mother and daughter trained side by side.
As time passed on it dawned upon Kayla that the time in which Sei would have to train for her Verd'Goten would soon be on them. This was a worrying time for Kayla indeed as both Sei and her had been clan less for numerous years. Thinking back to the mention of another Mandalorian who trained with the followers, one who went by the name of Jorra, maybe Sei could be accepted into that clan. Nothing was known about this mysterious Mandalorian though, least of all the criteria for completion of her clans Verd'Goten.
One thing was for sure though, attempting the Fo'tuda Verd'Goten and being an adult in their culture would put Sei in terrible danger. It was not a risk that Kayla was willing to take and she sought out the answers she needed to track down this Jorra.
3,622 BBY:
Answers were slow and hard to come by. Eventually Kayla gave up and asked the Followers of Palawa if it was possible for them to get into contact with Jorra. As it turns out they had good relations with the mysterious Mandalorian and as such would speak to her on behalf of the family.
During the months that they had been gathering information on the illusive Mandalorian, Sei began to idealise her as somewhat of a heroine. Living a life in training to the hand to hand arts and studying Teräs Käsi was not so dissimilar to Sei and without even meeting her she felt like she knew quite a lot about her. Of course her imaginary thoughts of the unknown Mandalorian could be totally wrong and she would have to hope to meet her someday to find out. For now all Sei had was words.
It seemed as though getting in touch with Jorra was proving a hard task for even her friends, however nothing was side tracking Sei from her training. She had made exceptional improvements in the last few months and was on a growth spurt. During this time her mother saw fit to add more weight to the training Sei was participating in adding weights around her legs, ankles, wrists, biceps and chest. While training Sei was forced to complete her sets with the weight on, her mother’s aim, to develop agility and explosiveness even when in armour something people who begin training in armour rarely get the chance to develop.
Her growth continued over the coming months as did her progress in K'thri becoming an intermediate at the art by the end of the year. A warrior’s bloodline combined with the genetics of the highly adept unarmed fighters of the Kage defiantly played a part in this, however it was clear that Sei had a lot of natural talent. If Sei was a dog, she'd have been a pedigree.
3,621 BBY:
Good news finally reached Kayla, Jorra had been contacted. Sadly the clan which she had once represented was disbanded. Not many more details were disclosed however Jorra did give the information on what was required to complete the clans Verd'Goten. She also stressed that although one may complete the Verd'Goten, she would defiantly not give any kind of formal approval to the clan.
Never the less it was all Kayla had to offer, she refused to allow any child of hers to join a clan that would kill their own kin for something as small as what the Fo'tuda killed Thorzan over. With the knowledge of the Verd'Goten obtained the survival techniques were put on hold and the time used for them was spent on extra development of her martial art K'thri.
Midway into the year of 3,621 BBY Sei and her mother took a small trip to Mandalore. She was training her daughter till she developed the necessary strength to perform the more advance aspects of Teräs Käsi. This would still only come with age and Kayla felt it was time to get her daughter her first real set of armour. Most armour was made of Beskar, but it was going to be too expensive for something that would soon be replaced. A combination of Durasteel and Plasteel would have to do for this set of training armour, while it wasn't pretty Sei looked incredibly happy in her new kit.
Feeling more like a Mandalorian than she ever had before Sei returned to the planet of Bunduki some months later with a new found resolve. Kayla also began instructing Sei on weaponry other than her fists. Starting with simple things like one handed blasters it was the first time Sei have ever handled a weapon and was another stepping stone for the young Mandalorian girl.
3,620 BBY:
Again natural talent began to show and over the coming year she began to develop a solid foundation for a gunslinger. Preferring two blasters over a single one. The ability to fire a volley of shots off quicker was more up Sei's street, and although she didn't say it she felt there was twice the chance of her hitting the target. Although the practice of blasters was fun she still maintained her solid martial arts skills practicing both TK and K'thri at least once per day.
Kayla moved Sei onto blaster rifles next. Again she was quite a good shot and the high rounds per minute that her mother’s blaster delivered was right up Sei's street. However at her age the kick that the rifle delivered was a little too strong for her. The stock would often leave Sei with bruises across her chest and upper shoulder if she practiced for long periods of time and this hindered her greatly during martial arts practice. It also weakened her ability to sprint as the power generated from her arm weakened. With this in mind Kayla chose to postpone the training of the blaster rifles until she was older.
Towards the end of the year Kayla began trying to develop her daughter’s ability with a blade. Just small ones at first but she had no natural talent with them. The fact she had to work hard to improve actually began to grate on Sei and she often got frustrated by the practice. She understood the pros and cons of using a melee weapon that was not her fist, but she was both more agile, faster and experienced with her hands. She also knew how to quickly disarm opponents, everything she had be taught was centred on getting her in her element. She shouldn't be practicing another's.
3,619 BBY:
It was time for Sei to begin her training of Teräs Käsi once more. She had finally developed the strength she needed in order to begin the more advanced techniques and Sei couldn't be more excited. Her mum also decided to restart her training of the art, it was nice to have a training partner. Even a sparring partner. Now slightly taller and stronger she was able to compete a little better, although she was still no match, her mother wasn't going to let her win either.
Sei could feel the difference between being in her armour and being out of it, but as she spent more time training with the weight eventually it became less and less of an issue. So much so that by the midway point of 3,619 she was moving as fast if not faster in the armour as she was at the start of 3,619 BBY without the armour. The drastic changes were clear and there was only one thing for Kayla to do. Add more weight to her daughters armour. A few adjustments here and there and Sei was back to feeling the difference.
Performing at the top echelon of fitness for not only a female but a child of her age Sei would often get tired and required plenty of rest, ice baths, high protein in her diet and sometimes even medical attention. During these times of relaxation Sei would often pick up books and read about not just battles, but combat in general. It was here that she discovered how gymnastics in hand to hand combat increased flexibility and provided different ranges of movement to what she usually used. Delving deeper into the research of gymnastics she began practicing simple things like cartwheels and handstands. They seemed simple, but in reality when wearing a full suit of armour + weight it was a lot harder. Luckily the strength developed from her cardio sufficed to help her overcome the obstacle.
3,618 BBY:
She also discovered a form of getting from A to B known as free running. This involved the leaping and clearing of obstacles in a certain manor to maintain speed while going in a straight line. Normally people would have to walk around things where as free running allowed to go in a straight line through the obstacles making travel time shorter at the cost of a little more energy. The style also incorporated a large amount of gymnastic ability which was perfect and allowed Sei to cover two disciplines simultaneously. Killing two birds with one stone.
Sei would often hear stories about the warriors of the past wars as well as all those who had called themselves Mandalore. It was weird that she had incredible respect for those people without ever meeting them. It was even more interesting that one could command so much respect with their kin across the galaxy that any Mandalorian was willing to give up their lives at the call of their leader. Sei hoped that one day people would call her name and that she would command respect across so many star systems with so many different kinds of people.
Stories of legend were often masked by over hyped tales, enemies’ propaganda and lies. When Sei ascended she wanted everything told about her to be the truth, so that when people spoke of her millennia from now they would know exactly what she achieved in her lifetime. These were just dreams though, it was foolish of Sei to think of these things when she was still so young.
3,617 BBY:
3,617 BBY was a very uneventful year in Sei's life. It was the year leading up to Sei's Verd'Goten and as such all focus was on sanding down the rough edges. The plan was to have Sei perform her style of K'thri while in armour proving that the fluidity of the art was still maintainable while armoured. Recording the style before getting the Followers to forward it to Jorra and seek her approval.
Nothing else of note happened during this year, just preparation although Sei did make some rather large improvements in both Teräs Käsi and K'thri.
3,616 BBY:
3,618 was the year in which Sei would attempt her Verd'Goten. Although upon its completion she would have no clan to be a part of she would still be considered an adult. It would then be her choice to leave her family and travel the galaxy. Sei would often ponder what she would do as an adult. Where she would go, if she would even go anywhere. She was driven that was for sure, but she wanted to master her martial arts first. Only then would she be ready to travel the galaxy in search of fame and glory.
The setting was chosen and the opponent brought before Sei. A young member of the Followers of Palawa. If Sei was going to have any luck at proving the effectiveness of K'thri to Jorra she would need to show her how it compared to Teräs Käsi a martial art that Jorra knew well. Her opponent was a boy, a few years older than Sei. She wanted a challenge, she wanted assurance. A quick talk with her mother and Sei was ready to prove her worth. The recording began and with it the battle.
It lasted a long time, Teräs Käsi's powerful blows attempting to smash through and catch Sei off balance, but she knew how to counter what was coming and she used this to her advantage. Eventually an opening appeared and using the superior balance she opened a flurry of punch's kicks and combos into her opponent. The speed was overwhelming and the technique was perfect. Finally she grabbed the arm of the boy pinning him to the ground by application of pressure to the shoulder joint. Letting him go she turned to the camera, nodded and walked away.
The recording was delivered to the Followers of Palawa strait away to be sent to Jorra. Now all the two could do was await word from the Mysterious Mandalorian.
3,615 BBY:
No word came. Kayla kind of expected it but didn't want to believe it. Sei was also confused, but she knew she hadn't done anything wrong. Sei and her mother had been talking a lot over the course of the last year, talking about progression and where the young Mandalorian was going to go in life. Sei was an adult now, well strictly speaking, a few more years and she would be fully grown and would have mastered K'thri.
Teräs Käsi would take a bit more time, however she was highly advanced in what she now knew and would even help teach some of the youngest members of the Followers the basics of the martial art. It was here she learnt a lot about how Teräs Käsi came about, which got Sei to thinking. What if she formed her own martial art? A combination of K'thri and Teräs Käsi... Power and balance. Speed and fluidity. It was at least something to think about, for now though Sei was content with proving her worth every day by practicing her martial arts.
3,614 BBY:
During the period of 3,614 BBY Sei's mother had been busy at work. Not her usual self she was deep in thought. Sat in front of blue prints she planned and planned, tinkered and tinkered. Sei had no idea what she was making or what it was for. All she knew is that it was important enough for her to neglect her training.
Sei refused to neglect her training, especially not now. She was so close, everything was clicking into place and not only that. She was on another growth spurt, this time she grew taller and filled out a little more fully. The culmination of puberty no doubt. With new found strength came speed, with speed came fluidity, with fluidity came balance. The improvements that Sei made during this time were large again. Her blaster accuracy became better, she even moved back to practicing blaster rifles. Her gymnastic and free running ability also came on in leaps and bounds.
Her training on Bunduki was beginning to round off, Sei made the decision to go and explore the galaxy. Before she headed off Kayla wanted to take a trip to Mandalore. Sei was fully grown now standing at 5'5" and it was time for her to get a real set of Mandalorian armour instead of using a bunch of second hand ones. Arrival on Mandalore came quickly and it wasn't long before the blueprints that Kayla had been working on came out. They had returned to the Metalsmith they visited before and Kayla had drawn up and planned a set of armour for Sei.
It was weeks before the armour was finished and fitted perfectly. Sei was a vision. It reflected her beauty on the inside and its beautiful shiny metallic finish was simple and effective. It retained the T shape visor and all the work that Sei had put into training made the armour feel like nothing. Flicking her wrist she released the wrist blades, before flicking them again to return them to there original location. One word could describe the armour. Sweet.
While in a bar on Mandalore Sei heard word about the gladiators of the arena of Geonosis. The Arena of Justice. Sei had been looking for a place to prove her worth, test her abilities and maybe even teach her skills. Maybe this was the place. Kayla was soon to leave and Sei had to make her own way in the world. She had no money so decided to fight for it.
Entering a few tournaments and even setting up some of her own she brawled and scraped tirelessly until she had enough money. She had no care for peoples feelings, if they were hurt, for that moment when they stood as her opponent they were nothing more. Boarding a shuttle to Geonosis she awaited her arrival.

Becoming a gladiator of sorts on Geonosis wasn't all as easy as Sei had hoped. There were only a few ways that one could enter the arena, as a slave fighting for a master or someone who was due to be executed. Sei was neither a slave or stupid enough to commit a crime that would get her executed. There was only one thing for her to do, and she had words with several people who owned gladiators. She would fight their gladiators one by one in attempts to gain their interest before putting forward her idea.
The Idea for reference:
Sei would fight for the master of the house. She would not be bossed around, she would not fight anyone beneath her. The master would organise fights, in return she would provide him with money from her winnings. A cut of which would go to promoting Sei In the arena to gain her attention.

A lot of the people she spoke to laughed and said that no victory was certain. Beating gladiators in a one on one situation would not be enough, in the arena all manor of obsicales can be placed within, it was for entertainment after all. Sei was not worried, eventually she went before a man, he understood the Mandalorian ways and while still sceptical... he agreed to put her in as one of his gladiators. Many who graced the arena floor had nicknames, childish and vulgar name that hide their true identity from those who once loved them.

- This is when she comes across Jorra, confronts her on if she got the holo-recording, why she didn't reply and eventually asks if she can join the clan. She also does her navy training where she learns to pilot Small to medium craft.
