[QUOTE="Jack Haggerty, post: 128609, member: 89"] I don't think Set'll have anything to worry about. Well, I don't think it fits her character (at least as written by WotC), and I don't think the majority of average people have any DSPs. And DSPs are major no matter how many you have. "Once you start along the Dark Path, forever will it dominate your destiny." Valara, it seems to me, is trying to learn the Jedi Code from just the Jedi Code. She would take a very pure, literal, idealistic approach to the Code. If anything, she would be less likely to have any DSPs at this point, because she isn't trying to "interpret" the Code. When she meets the Jedi, they aren't what she expected... Remember Obi-wan, Qui-Gon and Jedi Counsel in Ep. I... Who they acted, and how they treated each other... Rather haughty know-it-alls, eh? That's what they mean by disillusioned. It like the immigrants who see America as a land of opportuny, but when they get here can only get a minimum wage job. Or... to use current events as an example... Think about someone who lived the vast majority of their life on an isolated island. They come upon a copy of the Torah (or the Koran, or the Bible). The read the book through, and think it has great ideas. So they model their lives after these writings. Now, a boat comes and they get the opportunity to leave. They decide that the first place they want to go to is Jerusalem, where this book originated, and a majority of its followers reside. What would that person think if he went there right now. In other words, unless you can give me a much better reason, no. I see Valara as more Jedi than the Jedi, because she hasn't had much contact with the galaxy, and is setting her Role-models on a very high pedestal. If anything, she would be the strictest about staying away from the Dark Side, because she doesn't know better. [/QUOTE]
