Senator Carise Sindian was a woman who represented the wealthy planet of Arkanis in the Galactic Senate of the New Republic twenty years after its establishment. She belonged to the Centrist faction, whose members favored a stronger galactic government and a more powerful military. In secret, Sindian was part of the First Order, an organization against the New Republic.

Lord Mellowyn's death
"But as Lord Mellowyn had no children, the title has now passed on to you."

- Carise Sindian to Leia Organa

Carise Sindian became the Senator for the Centrist world of Arkanis during the time of the New Republic. She was of royal bloodline, earning her the title of Lady. After the dedication of a statue of Bail Organa on Hosnian Prime, Sindian informed fellow Senator and royal Leia Organa that Lord Mellowyn of Birren had died with no heir, and Organa was next in line to take the throne. Organa, hiding her dismay, informed Sindian that her staff would look into the matter.

An emissary from Ryloth
A day after Sindian informed Organa of the governorship of Birren, an emissary from Ryloth held a Senate meeting which Sindian took part in. The emissary, Yendor informed the Senate that his homeworld was under threat from a Nikto cartel, and wished for aid. Yendor stated that his planet had gained information that a Kajain'sa'Nikto, Rinnrivin Di, was the leader of the cartel and was operating from the planet Bastatha. Sindian then asked him and the rest of the Senate if they were to be reduced to investigators.

Senator Organa then spoke, volunteering aid to Ryloth and offering to leave Hosnian Prime to travel to Bastatha immediately. Sindian began to bring up concerns for Organa's safety, while Senators Tai-Lin Garr and Arbo argued over if the people of Bastatha would think it as an invasion. Sindian then questioned the Senate if it was wise to send only a Populist Senator to investigate the matter. Ransolm Casterfo, a Centrist Senator from Riosa, then offered to travel to Bastatha alongside Organa.

First Senator proposal
"I hereby propose the abolition of the title chancellor. In its stead, we will elect a 'First Senator'-and that First Senator will be given real authority over economic and military matters. Our troops and politicians will be answerable again. The Senate will have to cooperate."

- Sindian, in a speech to the Senate

Organa and Casterfo returned from Bastatha with valuable information that Rinnrivin Di was in fact leading a massive cartel. They also informed the Senate that Organa had been briefly captured before being rescued by Casterfo, causing Senator Anib Ney of Sullust to claim that Casterfo was a vigilante and had put Organa's life in danger.

After saying nothing for a long amount of time, Sindian gave a speech to the Senate and offered the creation of First Senator, a position replacing Chancellor. Immediately following her speech, the Senate went in a frenzy, asking questions if the position of First Senator might become another Emperor, and stating that the Senate would have to redraw the entire constitution.

Behind the scenes
Carise Sindian first appeared in the 2016 novel Bloodline, written by Claudia Gray. While writing the novel, Gray mentally pictured Sindian as being portrayed by Jamie Chung.
