Seha Dorvald She helped Ben escape from the temple back in LotF when he went off to do Jacen's bidding. But she later helped with the Jedi attempt to remove Jacen from power in Fury, I believe. _________________ "It's not about the legacy you leave, it's about the life you live." ~Mara Jade Skywalker

Taral-DLOS EUC Staff Joined: 23 Nov 2010 Posts: 1239 Location: Ontario, Canada She's this random Jedi they established in Legacy of the Force, who was a spy within the Jedi Order for Jacen, but then was redeemed (not in the Redeemed From The Dark Side sense, but the Forgiven For Doing Wrong sense). She's now Octa Ramis's apprentice, and I seem to remember her saying she thought Ben was cute (Ben's 16, and she's maybe 21 or 22?) _________________ It was the year of fire… the year of destruction… the year we took back what was ours.

Crash Override Master Joined: 22 Dec 2010 Posts: 1796 Location: Carcosa I wouldn't be surprised if she ultimately died at the end of the series, because the current modus operandi seems to be to do stuff that is unexpected simply for the shock value. I definitely could see them comparing this build up of Vestara's character and even redeem her to the light side only to result in her dying as somehow being similar to Anakin Solo in the New Jedi Order, when it would be anything but.

Mara Jade Skywalker Master Joined: 15 Feb 2008 Posts: 5359 Location: Beyond Shadows That would be pretty cool, actually. If she was possessed by Abeloth and then perhaps had enough presence of mind left to destroy herself completely? Sacrificing herself to rid the galaxy of an agreed upon evil. This wouldn't even necessarily turn her into a Jedi. Just a responsible Force user. _________________ "It's not about the legacy you leave, it's about the life you live." ~Mara Jade Skywalker

Playing the hand that we've been dealt (id est, accepting JINO for what he is), it would have been better if Jacen survived LOTF and fulfilled this role at the end of Apocalypse, as it would carry substantially more weight than a character introduced in the series. And it would be better than his death in Invincible. And it would have worked either way, if he escaped and was still a self-proclaimed Dark Lord of the Sith doing this for the galaxy and his daughter, or if he had been redeemed and was a man seeking true redemption for his past deeds. Though I think the latter would have had the most poignancy and redeemed the writers for JINO altogether.

jake102975 Padawan Joined: 17 Jan 2012 Posts: 6 Regarding Vestara Khai. I think she is the most interesting character in the new series and would be very disappointed if she is killed off. At the end of "Ascension" she seems to have decided she will enjoy what time she has with Ben but will never be able to abandon her "Sith" nature an become a Jedi. I suppose I am Ok with her not pulled from the dark during the "FOTJ" series but I think it would create a very interesting storyline later in the series for her to pop in and out of Ben's life sometimes as a friend, sometimes as foe. I fear that the she will be killed off though and effectively redemmed in an unexpected rash act of selflessness that involves her sacrificing herself to save Ben and defeat Abeloth. I really hope the next author up in this series doesn't resort to this because it is utterly predictable and some much less interesting than leaving the door open for Ben to lead her down the road to redemption at a later time.

Werehunter Knight Joined: 08 Apr 2011 Posts: 300 If she's killed in the end of the series, it would likely have been a group decision. She's played too large a part in the book for it to be just one person making that call. If anything happens to her at the end, I see her exiling herself to find out what she truly wants.
