Only Lana would be able to read Issie so well to know with how much love & desire Issie is looking at her with.

Apart of me died in the process of getting the newest Datacron in Kessan's Landing. Apart of me I won't get back in the 6+ hours I spent on the quest chain to get the tool you NEED to even get to the secret area where it is located.

Then there was the whole gauntlet of even getting the damn thing. I swear the devs must be getting their kicks from our suffering in Datacron hunting.

Only brightside is my Datacron tab is now full again.

Earlier when trying to stop the reactor from melting down:

Lana: “We are going to die!"

Issie: "Go wait for Koth."

Lana: "I'm not leaving you."

Meanwhile (pictured) Vaylin corners them mid escape:

Lana: "I'll hold her off as long as I can. The first chance you get- Go."

Issie: "No way am I leaving you behind."

Lana: "You're impossible"

(They’re in love your honor)

Funny how one small moment can cause drastically different outcomes, yet some things still stay the same.

No matter how much they may not like it, Isadola & Atteia are still the same person deep down.

Theron [Looks up from a datapad toward RE-M1]: Hey Rem, Have you seen Issie? I have a report she needs to see.

RE-M1 [Happy beeps]: I think so! Last I saw this way.

[Theron gets led down a mostly abandoned hallway, RE-M1 stops near a specific door]

Theron [Pauses briefly and squints suspiciously at the muffled un-identifiable sounds beyond the door before knocking]: Uh... Is?

[Loud crashing & scrambling noises followed by a loud thud before the door slides open as Isadola steps out from a dark room]

Isadola [Out of breath, clearly disheveled. Hair down, mask loosely put on & crooked, no gloves or bracers, jacket with only one sleeve on, tube top pulled dangerously low, missing belt & only one boot on, lipstick markings trailing down her neck & beyond]: THERON! uh... Hi... What’s up? [Pauses to catch breath] Did something happen? Wait... Did Taskar piss off Hylo again or something?

Theron [Grimaces as he takes a step back]: Something like that... Listen it can probably wait...

Isadola: No, what is it? I can-

[Isadola gets pulled back in to the room by an unseen force swiftly before the door slams shuts and locks]

Theron [Turns back toward the small scout droid now emitting laughter like beeps as he begins to walk away]: You knew they were in there didn’t you?

RE-M1 [Indignant beeps]: I did not, how dare you even assume such?

Theron [Looking at the small droid now riding on his shoulder]: You’re a terrible liar for a supposedly sentient droid.

 RE-M1 [More indignant beeps]: Don’t be such a sourpuss... Well If you’re feeling lonely I can holo your partn-

Theron [Pinches the bridge of his nose]: Please don’t... They are- You’re the worst you know that?

BOLD the FACTS

Thanks to @imperial-topaz2003 & @thelealinhypehouse for the tags!

Doing this for Issie (Isadola) because No I haven't forgotten about her after.... a certain recent game release lol.

PERSONAL

Isadola's life has been a complicated one since the day she was born. Originally born to an exiled & former Sith Lord and a former/rouge Imperial Cipher Agent. Isadola only knew and was raised by her mother before her father (the rouge Cipher Agent) eventually learned of her existence and attempted to kill both her & her mother. Shortly after her mother's death she was found and taken in by the Jedi Order, where she went on to earn the title of Barsen'thor. Later leaving the Jedi Order to go on to help form and lead the Alliance as Commander. Slowly finding the happy life & family that was taken from her.

Financial: wealthy*/ moderate/ poor / in poverty

Born & raised poor during the first few years of her life before being taken in by the Jedi Order. *Later amassing significant wealth throughout her journeys.

Medical: fit / moderate/ sickly / disabled / disadvantaged/ non-applicable

A natural acrobat, and very fast. She may not be the strongest, but very few are able to catch her, let alone pin her down in or out of combat.

Class or Caste: upper/ middle/ working / unsure / other

Regardless of it's in her early life or currently, Isadola doesn't really care for her status be labeled as such, given how it's needlessly complicated things all her life.

Education: qualified / unqualified / studying / other

Not really tied to any specific discipline, but still got a very significant education from her time with the Jedi where she has a very sharp mind you'd want in any intelligent conversation. Even if it's a topic out of her depth, Issie is a very quick learner.

Criminal Record: yes, for major crimes / yes, for minor crimes / no / has committed crimes, but not caught yet / yes, but charges were dismissed

Issie, is not a saint. There are some lines she will not cross, but for what crimes she has committed both during her time as a Jedi and after leaving the order, She has yet to be caught. She has even helped found her own Cartel that low-key starting to rival the Hutts. For her and her family's own safety she hasn't admitted to being one of Eridium Cartel's Founders that the Hutt Cartel has placed a significant bounty on. Tho the Alliance spy network has their hands constantly full keeping that fact under wraps.

FAMILY

In the Beginning it was very complicated, Born to a loving Mother that died protecting her against a Father that wants her dead for simply existing outside of his sphere of control. To later having the loving family life that was taken from her decades ago.

Children: had a child or children* / has no children / wants children

Post-Darth Nul plot, Isadola has the first of her 3 biological daughters with her wife Lana. Not long after having their first daughter, Kelsa, They go on to adopt an orphaned stowaway force-sensitive Chiss girl, Orla, that showed up on Odessen one day after she quickly stole their hearts.

Relationship with Family: close with sibling(s) / not close with sibling(s)*/ has no siblings / sibling(s) is deceased

Issie is the only child of her mother, Tilera, and her father, Donovan. *Though she does have some half-siblings through her father, like her relationship with him, she is not close to them, by any means.

Affiliation: orphaned / abandoned / adopted / disowned* / raised by birth parent(s) / not applicable

Raised by her Mother for 5-ish years before being orphaned, Disowned by her Father almost since her birth (If he knew about her sooner), Donovan would sooner have her killed then having a progeny outside his sphere of control.

TRAITS & TENDENCIES

♦ extroverted/ introverted /in-between*

Issie is mostly a shy girl, unless you know her then those walls she's built up crumble so fast. Or she's just drunk/high off her ass.

♦ disorganized /organized / in-between

If things are disorganized, something is wrong with Issie and you should be concerned.

♦ close-minded / open-minded / in-between

99% of the time Issie tries to be open-minded, unless it's something that's against her personal moral code then not so much, though she tries to always keep an open mind.

♦ calm / anxious / in-between / highly contextual

Isadola under the calm exterior she's built up, is just a mess of emotions. Issie is one bad day away from losing the stoic exterior she's built up over the years.

♦ disagreeable / agreeable / in-between

Very situational, With Issie you can never really know unless you drop her in specific situations.

♦ cautious / reckless / in-between / highly contextual

Again, very situational. When it's a moment that requires thought or is very delicate she is very cautious. In combat, Issie can be VERY reckless, just ask Lana.

♦ patient / impatient / in-between

Very much depends on her mood on how patient Isadola can be.

♦ outspoken / reserved / in-between / highly contextual

Depends on the situation, But Isadola is very much both. Can be very outspoken most times, but she also knows when to hold her tongue.

♦ leader / follower / in-between

A natural leader but hates the labels that comes with it, but also able to take orders from those she respects.

♦ empathetic / vicious bastard / in-between

Issie is very much both, just depends on the situation on which side you'll see. Issie is very empathetic (Even has the Force Empathy ability), but if you push her too far that side of her can switch off a little too quickly for comfort.

♦ optimistic / pessimistic / in-between

Despite her tragic beginnings, and her life up to recent events Isadola always tries to look on the bright side of things. If she doesn't she might fall down a dark hole she might never recover from.

♦ traditional / modern / in-between

Isadola & Tradition are 2 things that don't mix. Like full stop.

♦ hard-working / lazy / in-between

Issie needs to be reminded a lot it's okay for her to take a break a lot of times and that galaxy won't fall apart if she doesn't keep working. Though she is 100% a hypocrite when she tries to remind Lana of the same.

♦ cultured / uncultured / in-between / unknown

Issie is just Issie. She is a lot of things.

♦ loyal / disloyal / in-between / unknown

Loyal, to a fault. She will die for those closest to her against anything.

♦ faithful / unfaithful / in-between / unknown

Sure, her mind wanders sometimes, but at the end of the day, once she's committed to someone she's theirs till one or both of them drops dead.

BELIEFS

Raised by the Jedi sure, But she doesn't have blind faith in the Force.

Faith: monotheist / polytheist /atheist/ agnostic?*

*Sure Issie has seen all that the Force is capable of but she doesn't believe it is the end all be all of everything.

Belief in Ghosts or Spirits: yes / no / don’t know / don’t care / in a manner of speaking

Issie has seen a few, even has a connection with the dead, but hasn't had enough experience to form any strong opinions on them. (At least in her main Jedi path, Her Sith Inquisitor AU on the other hand...)

Belief in an Afterlife: yes / no / don’t know / don’t care / in a manner of speaking

"There is no Death, There is only the Force" Something that has been drilled into her by the Jedi since she was young, She doesn't quite believe in the words, even if repeating the words has given her some comfort from time to time.

Belief in Reincarnation: yes / no / don’t know / don’t care / in a manner of speaking

She'd like to believe so, in her mind, Life is wasteful just to end. She'd like to believe there's more to do, more to learn after one life is done.

Belief in Aliens: yes / no / don’t know / don’t care

I mean, even though Isadola sees herself as Human, She is constantly reminded she's not so... it'd be weird if she didn't believe.

Religious: orthodox / liberal / in between / not religious

Isadola's life has been too complicated to be even remotely religious. Plus she has seen first hand how far such devotion can go. So not her style.

Philosophical: yes / no / highly contextual

Issie is a Philosophical nerd deep down. She has to catch herself sometimes for not sounding too philosophical.

SEXUALITY & ROMANCE

Sexuality: heterosexual / homosexual/ bisexual / asexual / pansexual

Issie is a straight as a boomerang. Girl has like few brain cells around most women.

Sex: sex-repulsed / sex neutral / sex favorable/ naive and clueless

Girl has problems keeping her hands to herself around her wife. Much to Lana's ire sometime when she's working.

Romance: romance repulsed / romance neutral / romance favorable / naive and clueless / romance suspicious

Issie is a hopeless romantic deep down.

Sexually: adventurous / experienced / naive / inexperienced / curious

Isadola has had a number of encounters over the years before she met her wife.

Potential Sexual Partners: male/ female / agender / other / none / all

Isadola is a not so innocent Lesbean.

Potential Romantic Partners: male / female / agender / other / none / all

See Above.

ABILITIES

Smart, Quick witted, and combat talented, just like her Mama.

Combat Skills: excellent/ good / moderate / poor/ none

Very talented with dual sabers, just like her Mother.

Literacy Skills: excellent/ good / moderate / poor / none

She found alot of comfort in books and writings when she was younger before she found some real friends.

Artistic Skills: excellent* / good / moderate/ poor / none

Isadola is an excellent singer if you can get her to do so. She's a pretty good Artifice crafter though when she wants to kill sometime.

Technical Skills: excellent/ good / moderate / poor / none

Issie is pretty good at most technical skills when she needs to be, but if something needs fixing or Slicing, she knows to leave the task to one of her more capable friends.

HABITS

Issie won't admit it but she is very much a closeted party animal. She has alot of steam to blow off from her life so far.

Drinking Alcohol: never/ special occasions / rarely / sometimes / frequently / alcoholic/ former borderline alcoholic turned sober

Her go to way to turn off her brain after a stressful day.

Smoking: tried it / trying to quit / quit / never / rarely / sometimes / frequently / chain-smoker

Not her go to, but won't shy away from it if offered to her.

Recreational Drugs: tried some / never /special occasions / sometimes/ frequently / addict Former addict

Eridium Cartel party nights are lit. Issie only indulges if the party is really REALLY wild. Which is most times whenever her Eridium fam throws a party.

Medicinal Drugs: never / no longer needs medication / some medication needed / frequently / to excess

Issie is usually pretty healthy. Only rarely after a taking some serious injuries does she need to take some, if any.

Unhealthy Food: never / special occasions / rarely / sometimes / frequently / binge eater

Again, Issie is usually pretty healthy, and eats like it too. It's a point of pride for her to be able to maintain her fast, acrobatic abilities.

Splurge Spending: never / sometimes / frequently / shopaholic

Lana manages the credits for a reason, is all I'll say. Issie like shiny things a bit too much.

Gambling: never / rarely / sometimes / frequently / compulsive gamble

When the nightlife event starts, it would be a rare moment not to see Issie in the casino. She hangs around her smuggler buddy, Taskar, a bit too much where his luck has rubbed off on her.

Before Lana, there was briefly Lemda.

It was a relationship that burned hot but burned out too fast. Lemda ended up breaking things off with Isadola (and breaking her heart) a short while before the start of Forge Alliances.

Sometimes a family is (temporarily) a failing Jedi and her 3 Vulptillas.

(Blue is named Speki, Infernal is named Svanna, and Opal is named Svelka)

Issie originally found them on Nar Shaddaa captured and attempted to be sold by some group of poachers on the black market. During her original mission there she stumbled upon the operation and ended up freeing them. The 3 litter mates ended up forming a strong bond with their rescuer and refused to leave her side.

Eventually Issie tamed them enough to be able to ride them and even train them to attack on her command. The 3 vulptillas for the longest time only listened to Isdaola and were very ill-tempered toward anyone but her.

Well at least until Isadola met Lana, then much to Issie's surprised they were actually pretty tame toward the sith when Issie introduced Lana to them on Rishi. Speki took a particular shine to Lana in particular of the 3.

During the 5 years Issie was frozen in carbonite, Issie's prized beast companions were once again captured and trying to be sold off again by folks claiming to have the Barsen'thor's killer vulptillas. Before her venture into wild space in search for Isadola, Lana got wind of the information, and remembering how fond Issie showed she was toward the creatures, went to rescue them.

In rescuing them, Lana also managed to gain the trust of the dangerous creatures. And in a quiet moment alone after freeing the 3, Lana managed to let her guard down briefly to share a moment with the vulptillas sensing they also missed Isadola just as much as she did. Lana promising to bring Issie back to them (not only for herself though she wasn't ready to admit it at the time) before her trip into Wild Space to begin her search in earnest.

Issie, Sweetie... Issie, I think you’re projecting onto Vaylin a bit here.

One of the few times Vaylin is morally justified to beat the ever loving shit out of Isadola.

Also-

Donovan 🤝 Valkorion being such horrible fathers that cause their daughters to have lasting problems into adulthood.

For the ~couple questions~! How about 1, 14, & 24 for whoever feels like answering! 😁

Thank you thank you for the ask @shynmighty! Gunna answer these for Issie & Lana as they are the SWTOR brain rot currently infecting my brain lately ^-^

These two will be the death of me one of these days, and I would die happy.

1. What do they think of each other's family? And how does the family feel?

Well with what little is known about Lana's parents, I can only hope they would at least respect Isadola if not like her. In the very least from Isadola's side of things she would respect them, but probably not trust them completely as they were highly respected entrepreneurs (and how they got to be such being up in the air, that detail would be key tho), and until she got to know them better she wouldn't know what to feel about them depending on the kind of relationship Lana had with them, assuming they were still alive.

On the flip side of things, Tilera (assuming she was still alive) would love Lana. She would probably hit it off with her and love seeing how happy Lana makes Issie. It wouldn't out of the picture for Tilera to just immediately accept Lana into the family. And on the other hand I think Lana in the very least would respect Tilera, and the woman she is/was. Lana would also probably even hit it off with her as well, as each of their own ways of a Sith aren't totally different and would easily talk philosophy if given the chance.

Now Issie's father, Donovan, on the hand... He just views his errant daughter as a mistake & complication that needs to be "fixed" or taken out of the picture. He doesn't like Lana in the slightest and the feeling is mutual. With what little Lana knows of the whole situation, and as she learns more, it's matter of when she tries to kill Donovan, for everything he has put Issie through and continues to put her through as time goes on as he eventually comes back into the picture later. And Lana now being in the picture, it complicates his plans in trying to remove his daughter from the picture as he tried & failed to do years ago.

So all in all... just... complicated all around 😅

14. What little things remind them of each other?

For Lana, certain types of musics & crystals always remind her of Isadola. She has caught Issie more than once just lost in her Artifice crafting humming or singing to herself to some obscure music not typically played in most cantinas they've passed or been in amongst their travels. Whether it's how the certain shine or glow from some crystals that always seems to light Isadola's face up whenever she sees one, seemingly always captivated by them. Or how pleasantly lost in her music Issie gets when she's alone always brings a certain lightness to Lana's heart whenever she encounters her in such situations. Reminded of all the lighter moments of Isadola being unburdened by her responsibilities, allowing herself to let the facade and walls she's built up drop, being able to see the real woman underneath that very few beyond Lana herself have seen.

As for Isadola, she was never one for poetry or poetic literature but seeing how Lana sometimes unwinds with it, and being able to see how calming it can be for her made Issie develop an appreciation for it even if it still isn't a favorite form of literature for her personally. And even when Isadola away from Odessen/home, away on a mission or away from Lana, Issie always takes with her some poetry to read, to keep her mind occupied in any downtime she may find herself in. No matter the subject matter her mind can't help but drift off sometimes to moments she's seen of the softer, more serene side of Lana that she only allows Isadola to see in her moments alone or in private.

24. How did they fall for eachother?

For either Isadola or Lana, both truly fell for eachother back when they began to grow closer on Rishi years ago, despite being drawn to eachother since their first meeting.

In Lana's case, seeing & getting to know Issie beyond the Jedi titles that drew her into the Revanite plot they each found themselves in, is what really made Lana fall for her. Seeing how fiercely Issie cares for others, for better or worse, even those she doesn't know, and strives to do what she believes is right despite the possible cost to herself most of the time. But never failing to take a step back and thinking pragmatically about things before acting on situations without knowing as much as she could. Even if it means taking lives for a greater good, seeing Issie not as bound to the Jedi code that most other Jedi she's run across.

As for Isadola, Lana turned out to be not like any other Sith she's encountered or heard about, but getting to know her more as they worked together really struck something in Issie down to her core. Though not always agreeing on things, something that really caused her to fall for Lana was having a similar or like mind to talk to when trying to figure out anything or a problem out. Also easily working together to save both sides from worse machinations, not to further one's personal gains, but just because it was right. And just working together helped Issie break through the binary definitions of things drilled into her by the Republic & Jedi when growing up. Isadola could possibly spend the rest of her life trying to list the reasons she fell for Lana.

Thank you thank you for the ask again! Sorry it took me a bit to answer!

Running Issie on her DPS spec & Lana on her Tank spec and healing between fights be like-

Issie: [does one handed handstand to rest between fights]

Lana: [steps behind her] I should probably check to make sure we're safe.

Going through more scenes with Issie & Lana again today with date night is having me once again needing to read Issie's body language because well... *(gestures vaguely in Miraluka)* yeah...

And it got me thinking of that one meme "I wear sunglasses so no one knows what I'm looking at" then stares at character x's chest. But with Issie & Lana.

Issie: "I wear a mask so no one knows what I'm staring at" *[blatantly stares at Lana's chest]*

Meanwhile Lana just doesn't look up from her datapad.

But alas I have 0 drawing or blender skills 😂

To the brainrot idea bin with this one it goes.
