Aurra Sing/Legends

"There is no one like me in the Galaxy! I am justice! I am the bane of the Jedi! I haunt the dreams of their Padawans! I will drink your fear and spill your blood and my hate will scar the Galaxy! I am Aurra Sing!"

- Aurra Sing

Aurra Sing was once a female Padawan of unknown species but, following a series of tragedies and misfortune, left the Jedi Order to become a vicious bounty hunter specializing in Jedi assassinations.

Biography
Sing was born in the slums of Nar Shaddaa to a spice-addicted mother named Aunuanna and brought to the Order as a candidate for training. In an attempt to control the young woman's overtly aggressive instincts, the Council assigned her to The Dark Woman, a mysterious and secretive Jedi Master with a track record of training difficult apprentices. However, the two did not get along well and Sing never progressed past the stage of Padawan. Around the age of nine, she was kidnapped by pirates who played on her deep-seated fears of abandonment and betrayal to shake her trust in the Jedi. They raised the conflicted young woman as a fellow pirate. Tragedy struck again when she was eventually captured by a Hutt crime lord, who in turn lent her to a group of Anzati assassins. The Anzati trained her to be a remorseless killer, even equipping Sing with a bio-computer that fed her additional sensory data.



Sing became known as a hunter of Jedi, carving a bloody swath of victims including Sharad Hett, Peerce, and J'Mikel. In addition to blasters and a slugthrower rifle, Sing wielded a red-bladed lightsaber and relished defeating Jedi in dueling combat.

Sing was employed for a time by Count Dooku, who sent her to find Boba Fett, as the boy was thought to have information vital to the Separatist cause. Upon discovering that young Fett was heir to a large amount of money, Sing attempted to take the money herself. This plan failed, however, when the young Fett escaped her on Aargau.

During an assignment to assassinate a Galactic Republic Senator on Devaron, Sing crossed paths with Jedi sent to investigate her, including Aayla Secura, Tholme, and An'ya Kuro. She almost killed the latter two in a cave explosion but was defeated and captured instead by Secura, who scarred the bounty hunter and sliced off her bio-computer antenna. Sing was sent to a prison on Oovo IV. She was released a few months later in return for information on Jedi bounties.



During the Cortosis droid crisis, Anakin Skywalker encountered Aurra Sing on Tatooine. She first posed as one of the locals, and asked the young Jedi's help in eliminating a womp rat nest that was harassing the inhabitants. To her surprise, Skywalker managed to solve the problem without any incident. She revealed herself, and temporarily distracted him by setting off a thermal detonator. Skywalker chased after the Dark Jedi and cornered her near Jabba the Hutt's palace. However, Saato managed to incapacitate the Chosen One, and Aurra Sing escaped without a scratch.

Her fate after that point is uncertain. She was rumored as seen participating in Jabba's 'Demolition' contest around 3 ABY.

Jedi victims
The total number of Jedi killed by Sing is unknown. Outlander shows a suitcase containing 5 lightsabers, and later The Hunt For Aurra Sing shows a different case containing 4 (different) lightsabers. Her known Jedi victims are as follows -


 * Reess Kairn
 * Mana Veridi
 * Sharad Hett
 * Peerce
 * J'Mikel

Species possibilities
While her exact species is unknown, her pale skin and Force abillities suggest she belongs to the Qiraash, as those traits are likely inherent to everyone of that people, except for the large craniums. Other theories lead to belive that she is half Human and half Rattataki, because her mother was a human and her father is unknown, but shares a lot of characteristics with this alien species.
