Handmaiden Sisters

A group of six Echani sisters who served Jedi Master and historian Atris after the Jedi Civil War. The eldest five were identical, as all Echani children with common parents were; the sixth and youngest of them however, bore the face of her mother, Jedi Knight Arren Kae. The sisters attended Atris, and were all highly skilled in the martial arts of the Echani. Their prime weapon was a simple quarterstaff known as a Handmaiden's Staff, which could collapse into its handgrip; though the sisters were skilled with other close-quarter weaponry and in hand-to-hand fighting. The sisters were all sworn to an oath that they would never learn the ways of the Jedi, and though Brianna, the youngest, was known to be Force-sensitive, it is likely that this was through her mother, and that the other sisters were not Force-sensitive. The elder five sisters were killed by their younger half-sister when they attempted to stop her reaching Atris, who had fallen to the drak side.
