Ari-Van: Sith Knight

When Ari'Van tuned and looked at her former Master for the last time, she smiled, tossing her two-tone locks over her now black-clad shoulder.

'Do not fear for me, my Master,' she told him. 'This is where I belong, where I have always belonged. You always did say I was too passionate about my work. Now, I will use that passion to find my true strength, to better serve the Force- and the Republic. You have taught me well, but now it is time for me to learn a new lesson.' Ari-Van bowed, her hands pressed together before her. When she stood, she opened her hands, and a long, rope- like tendril floated out of them and over to him. He opened his hand to reach for it, and when he touched it, he knew what it was.

Ari-Van's padawan braid.

Blinking back the tears he knew were coming, he looked up at her one last time as she walked up the gangplank of the transport ship that would take her to Byss, where she would commence her training.

And become Sith.
