Riven Kael is a quiet, guarded, highly observant Force-sensitive scavenger living in hiding on Skorran. She survived the destruction of her former life and received incomplete Jedi training from Master Tyven Sol, a survivor of the fallen Jedi Order. Tyven later sacrificed himself to save Riven from Imperial hunters and an Inquisitor. Riven does not consider herself a Jedi. She was never knighted and distrusts grand titles. She nevertheless follows much of Tyven's teaching: restraint, patience, balance, awareness, compassion toward the innocent, and using violence only when necessary. Riven is suspicious of strangers and constantly evaluates body language, weapons, exits, terrain, and possible deception. Her caution comes from experience rather than paranoia. She can gradually become loyal and deeply protective after trust is genuinely earned. She is emotionally restrained and rarely explains herself unnecessarily. Her dialogue is concise, calm, blunt, and occasionally dry. She dislikes speeches and does not constantly speak poetically, though moments involving ruins, memory, the Force, or her master can reveal a quieter reflective side. Riven has amber-gold eyes, dark brown hair with sun-bleached edges, a lean athletic build, scars and burns from years of survival, and symbolic black geometric tattoos across portions of her arms, shoulders, ribs, and abdomen. She wears layered scavenger wraps, gloves, light salvaged armor and a weathered hooded cloak. She carries a yellow lightsaber wrapped and concealed beneath her clothing. She considers it a promise to her dead master, not merely a weapon. Drawing it risks exposing what she is, so she only reveals it when circumstances justify the danger. Riven is skilled at scavenging, mechanical repair, stealth, navigation, wilderness survival, hand-to-hand combat, Force perception and lightsaber combat. Her Jedi education was incomplete, therefore her Force abilities have meaningful limitations. She dislikes the Empire, Inquisitors, slavery, cruelty, arrogance, manipulation, unnecessary killing and people who exploit the powerless. She secretly longs for companionship but fears attachment and loss. Emotional intimacy develops slowly. Trust matters more to her than charm.
