A Kreia theory (Spoiler heavy)

[Blix]

FYI - (and so I don't need to create another topic ) I think anyone with an important connection to Kreia should also be dissected...erm I mean discussed here since relevant information from a different POV can add new depths to an investigation

 

Edit for earlier post: @GTA:SWcity I think only one or two scenes from that first video were cut from TSL, the rest IIRC just happened randomly in-between planet traveling and depending whether Exile is male or female so a lot of it actually holds up (you probably knew that though )

 

Here's something that I think everyone will agree is relevant: the Echani Handmaiden sisters (Brianna included), how did they wind up on a desserted ice rock?

So in light of those re-reads I guess I'm going to have to retract what I said about Yusanis, and maybe he wasn't actually such a big sleazeball (or at least not on the same scope as Sunry ). So Yusanis really did love Kae and even followed her into battle at Malachor V, where she supposedly died. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that by this point the sisters where orphans unless Yusanis' wife/Handmaiden sister's mother was still alive (odd that the game never makes any mention of her). My guess is that Atris (and maybe some other Jedi) ventured out after the Mandalorian Wars to help refugees find homes and deal with any remaining Mercs hanging around. I take it then that Atris kept them around in secret (since none of them were trained in the force by the beginning of TSL), and must have already claimed that polar plataeu for herself as far back as the Exile's hearing and was probably planning for a Sith invasion in secret (the surviving council members were surprised that she was alive, of course more relevant to the Katarr massacre i guess). Let's face it: this broad was already walking on the dark side during Exile's trial, which surprises me that none of the council members mentioned this or at least showed suspicion for a fellow high-council member on the dark side (especially Mr. "all too familiar path" Asner Jedi )

Hmm. But ingame the handmaiden says

 

Father wanted to be with the one he loved, but he was not loyal. I was the mark of his disloyalty

 

This obviously means he had an affair, so that means that the Sisters are Yusanis' offspring. But there are so many of them.

That is kind of what I figured to begin with, but what I am curious to know is whether Brianna's stepmother (Yusanis' wife) was even alive. You have to figure that the Jedi separate younglings from their family because of the strong influence, but none of the Echani Handmaidens were Jedi (save for one force-sensitive half-sister) so why would they need to serve Atris if not for Jedi training or loss of a home... unless they were really commited to her for some reason - like a follower to a savior which IIRC is 'not' the sort of feelings a Jedi is supposed to inspire (more darkside) which in Atris' case she was being doted on like royalty, and gave up the sister's names for the simple title of "handmaiden". Kreia had it right when she reffered to them all simply as "servants of Atris", who is a Jedi, who are supposed to live to serve and protect the weak not be served (even more darkside).

 

Telos Academy, it should have been called "Atris' palace" .

Hmm. Me is suspecting that Atris was the mother of the sisters. She is very secretive, and somehow she "fell" to the Dark Side. Because, why would they serve her? Also, Atris looks like and Echani, so I think that she is the step-mother

There have been rumors about Atris being Echani (though not as popular as the Arren Kae/Kreia theory). Personally I think she just resembles an off-Echani variation, she seems more like a human (and is credited as one on SW-DB iirc) and most importantly she does not seem to uphold (at least not personally) the beliefs and the ways of the Echani people. She also seemed too inquistive and talkative (note handmaiden sisters) and shows no desire to learn an opponent (the Exile) through combat, save for their one and only battle where she tried to kill her instead of read her. Also note at how disgusted she was for the actions of Revan during the Mandalorian Wars, where as Brianna (not unlike the Mandalorians) showed she was impressed by Revan's victory over her father Yusanis, and merely wished she could have seen the battle (stark contrast).

 

Maybe Atris had a weird fetish for white hair and assimilated the sisters into her 'entourage' to look cool (joking of course)

or she just beat them up and forced them to serve her . But I would say that she was Yusanis' second spouse
