[quote=@Genni] How about people referring to her formally as 'Do' (her surname), informally as 'Cyclone' (after both her Telekinetic Whirlwind ability and her tendency to move 'like the wind' in close combat) and casually as 'Cyc' (pronounced as Psych, a shortened form of Cyclone, and possibly a comment on her being a little psycho at times. :lol) There's probably a good reason for her being on Coruscant, but Dede wouldn't necessarily know about it herself. She might be just as confused as the others as to why she woke up there rather than on H’Ratth. After careful consideration I think I'll drop the [i]Tutaminis[/i] ability. I just can't see it fitting with Dede's style of combat and persona. As I said before, she's more likely to dodge an attack than try to absorb it, and for those occasions when she can't the Force Deflection would be used to provide cover. The shoto she'd be using would only be about 20cm long each (similar to [url=http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070915042715/starwars/images/thumb/4/44/SoraBulq-dark.jpg/250px-SoraBulq-dark.webp]the one[/url] Master Sora Bulq uses in his left hand,) so it would be easier for her to 'punch' the blaster bolts away with her hand than to try and steer the short, thin blade to deflect them in time, even with her enhanced Jedi reflexes, so I think the Force Deflection would still work for her. I didn't mean to give the impression that the Council had Dede's ex-partner killed after allowing her relationship to continue, the woman in question was just a tragic casualty of war with no hidden agenda in play. Of course, if a Sith wanted to plant that seed of doubt into Dede's mind... >D [/quote] At the request of the [@Ellri](I can read up the source material as I possess the Jedi Path book if required for exact quotes). Shotos are designed as secondary blades or for shorter races. In terms of wielding two as primaries I find it highly unlikely. You can't get the level of control into a shorter handled blade than you can into a regular one, also when the hilt is shorter there are less inner workings and the blades are shorter. Most people wielded them as blades designed to bat back blaster bolts or deflect lightsaber strikes but it is risky to put a lot of force into them as you can't have as good a grip on them as you can a regular saber. In war time I don't think you'd want to impede your combat style too much by having two shotos, more than likely you could have one shoto and one regular lightsaber or even two regular as regular hilt length lightsabers can still be dual wielded.
