Her Good Ranking[]
What Makes Her Admirable?[]
- Even as a Death Watch member, she still loved and cared about her sister Satine Kryze, since everything she did was to avenge her after her death. She was also legitimately loyal to Pre Vizsla since she supported his goal in bringing Mandalore back their roots as warriors and chose to defect from Death Watch only after his death.
- When Maul kills Pre Vizsla, she refuses to accept his rule due to him being an outsider and defects, redeeming herself and becoming a hero.
- She frees Obi-Wan Kenobi from prison so that he can assist her in the Mandalorian Civil War.
- She recruited Ahsoka Tano and the 332nd into the Siege of Mandalore, capturing Maul and defeating his Mandalorians. She also made peace with Ahsoka by shaking hands with her.
- She rejects Emperor Palpatine's rule when the Galactic Empire was formed. And when Gar Saxon and his clan defects from her rule and takes over Mandalore, she started her own rebellion against him with the other Nite Owls.
- She defends Krownest from Tiber Saxon’s weapon that will destroy Mandalorian armor alongside Sabine Wren and all of Clan Wren before she was made the rightful ruler of the Darksaber, uniting 3 clans with the Nite Owls.
- In the Great Purge of Mandalore, she surrendered to Moff Gideon so that no more of her people will be killed. However, Gideon doesn’t keep his promise because he still bombed the homes, therefore making her contempt over him reasonable.
- She rescues Din Djarin and Grogu from Quarrens.
- She infiltrates an Imperial cruiser in an attempt to recover the Darksaber and tells Djarin that Ahsoka could train Grogu.
- She helps Din Djarin arrest Moff Gideon for his crimes.
- While this does have negative effects later on such as the other Nite Owls defecting, she rejects the Darksaber from Din Djarin because she humbly thinks she's not good enough to lead her people. She slightly reiterated this remorse towards him when they were on a worn out ship on Mandalore.
- She frees Din Djarin from a cyborg with the Darksaber, thus allowing her to once again be the rightful wielder of the Darksaber later on.
- She tries to save Din Djarin from the mines of Mandalore when she thought she was drowning, thus making her redeemed too.
- She helps Din Djarin rescue Paz Vizsla's son from a beast, gaining honor from the Armorer.
- She defends Nevarro from Gorian Shard's pirates.
- She leaves the Children of the Watch and goes on a mission to reunite the Mandalorian factions.
- Along with Djarin, she exposes Helgait for the droids "malfunctions" on Plazir-15.
- She recruits all of her former Nite Owls in her mission to reclaim Mandalore after Djarin made her the rightful wielder as well as a few Mandalore survivors.
- She gets shocked when Paz Vizsla sacrifices himself to save the other Mandalorians from Gideon's clones.
- She refused to accept Moff Gideon’s offer in surrendering again to get a warriors death because he backstabbed her in the first offer and there’s proof he will keep his word this time.
- When Gideon calls Mandalorians weak without their “trinkets” after presumably destroying her helmet, she rebutted him and said that Mandalorians are stronger as Din and Grogu come to her rescue and aid.
- With the help of Din Djarin, Grogu, and all of the other Mandalorians, she defeats Moff Gideon for all the damage he had done on Mandalore and reclaims her home planet once and for all.
What Makes Her Inconsistent?[]
- Despite redeeming herself and showing remorse over having her sister killed, she still shows very little remorse for her crimes under Death Watch and too little remorse for letting her people get endangered thanks to her poor leadership skills in the past even though none of the other Mandalorians around her care about them or are aware of her background.
- She is a heretic, since she doesn't like the Children of the Watch's customs. She goes as far as to calling them "zealots" and claiming that their customs do not exist, making her xenophobic as well. And while she does realize that their Mandalorian customs are okay later on as Din Djarin did, she never apologizes for her insults towards them nor chose to embrace them.
- Like other Mandalorians, she is still lethal and jerkish, since she always gave her enemies brutal deaths even though some of them deserved it, and threatened to kill Din Djarin when he asked for her to join him in his redemption. This makes her quite stubborn too, since after all of her Mandalorians left her, she selfishly left herself to die in a worn out temple instead of showing remorse for failing them and refused to help Din until her temple was destroyed by Moff Gideon’s imperials and threatened Axe Woves with a knife while rightfully calling him out for shedding a lot of Mandalorian blood.
Trivia[]
