Raspy-voiced woman

The raspy-voiced woman was a female member of the One Sith group, based in the Valley of the Dark Lords on Korriban.

When the Twi'lek Jedi Alema Rar arrived in 40 ABY, seeking guidance for Darth Caedus, the raspy-voiced woman was one of the three prominent participants in her questioning, along with the Togorian named Morto and the man Alema nicknamed White Eyes.

She played a more understated role in the encounter than either of the others: Morto was expected to fight and best Alema, while White Eyes took the lead in the interrogation, whereas the raspy woman spoke infrequently, and remained no more than one of the several cloaked figures. However, her interjections were always sharp and commanding, restraining Morto's fighing instincts, and adding an extra edge to White Eyes' questions: the female Sith may, in fact, have been the senior member of the group.

The Sith woman's role in the discussion suggests an abraisive, impatient personality, tempered by self-control. She also appears to have drawn some amusement from Morto's pain.

Behind the scenes

 * In contrast with Morto and White Eyes, the female Sith is not given any name, nor does Alema identify her with a specific nickname.
 * On page 212 of Inferno, White Eyes glances at the Sith beside him, seemingly for reassurance, and the raspy-voiced woman interjects into the discussion; it could be inferred that she was standing at White Eyes' shoulder and that he was looking at her specifically for guidance, but this is not the only possible reading of these lines. The uncertainty may be designed to emphasise the more understated nature of her role, compared with her two male comrades.
 * It might be assumed that the raspy-voiced woman is human or humanoid, but even this is largely an argument from silence, based only on the lack of any mention of species-specific traits, and the use of the term "woman" to describe her.
