Quinlan finally agrees to escape and allow Khaleen to be caught but before he goes he tells her that he will come for her, and to wait for him. Then he infiltrates Dooku's circle, while Khaleen is put in a high defense security prison until she is ready to be taken off planet. Now when would Quinlan have found time to gain Dooku's trust before having to find Khaleen especially is she was to be moved qucikly and he had toestablish himself. Just a thought

khaleen character study

This is just something I cooked up while re-reading 'Light and dark' I love the character Khaleen so I decided to fleash out her character a little more.

Who she is: Khaleen is a professional theif. Little or nothing is known about her early life or how she hooked up with Quinlan 'Korto' Vos.

LOYAL: Despite her past which indicates that she rarely stays in any place for any amount of time she is loyal to Quinlan. This could be because of how she feels about him.

'I wouldn't fail you Korto'

PROUD: Her feelings spur her to take on a mission she knows may kill her. Khaleen defends herself against Aayla's skepticism by telling her that it isn't only Jedi who can be heroes. She knows that even if the republic was corrupt it would be replaced by something worse-Khaleen feels that it is her job to protect it-even though the republic put her in jail.

'What? Only Jedi can be heroes? It's my republic too'

GOOD FIGHTER/DRIVER

When Quinlan needs to get out of situations quick he relies on Khaleen's abilities to escape. Khaleen manages to save Quinlan when he gets into a fight with a fellow Jedi, while Quinlan escapes she divides the jedi's attention.

GO-BETWEEN

Tholme uses Khaleen's feelings for Quinlan to ensure a safe and reliable source of infomation to flow between Jedi and Quin. Khaleen brings messages on Dooku's latest plans, and Quinlan's own health which she attempts to cover as he goes further to the darkside.

Tholme: 'We need a contact person to courier messges--someone who won't betray Quinlan'

INADEQUATE: Khaleen is aware that she is being used by the Jedi and by Quinlan and by her status as a theif and that her feelings for Quinlan are forbidden. Khaleen is point blank about it and knows deep down that her time with Quinlan may be short.

"Look, I'm just one more gutter rat. What does it matter if I live or die? Who's going to care if--"

PRACTICAL: Although her life is not black and white she is used to living to street rules and that has hardened her.

"So kill him. He's scum. Jedi do what is necessary to complete a mission right?"


IN LOVE: Khaleen has intense feelings for Korto Vos, when she discovers he is actually a Jedi her feelings do not stop.

Aayla: by the way, you know the girl wasn't fighting just for the republic. She was fighting for you'






This is no where near finished but it's a start at least

University

I'm really scared, I know everyone is scared but this is my blog so I can be self indulgent. Now I have less then eighteen days and I am so not ready for the whole being an adult dealio. I'm nineteen and I should be mature about this but I'm just not.

I wish I had something more elabourate to say, or at least could spell and punctuate correctly, this kinda leads me onto my next rant: I hate dyslexia, I mean I know what I want to say but nobody else understands me and just passes me off as dumb! I'm not dumb I know my shit (epsecially SW and Buffy) but since they aren't courses I can take at university I'll take what I can.

I just need to prove myself and I guess I'm worried that it'll be like school and I won't be able to get across what I want in the right way and then they'll just think yeah she's dumb.

Everyone says when I get there it'll be great but right now I can't really believe them cause I'm NOT there yet.
So there's my rant, next time I'll find something fun and uplifting to say, quite possibly about Star wars

Pissed off

At right this very minute I really hate my mother. I really, really do, everything about her grates on me; the way she expects everything to be done on her time and the way she treats my dad is awful. I feel like crying and I hate this feeling. She's a bitch and absolute bitch. We're not close at the best of times but right now if I never saw her again it would be way to soon. I can't wait for uni now because then I don't have to deal with her shite. I know it sounds mean but I can't help it.

whoops

I kinda launched into this blog things since there was a good thread going on about Khaleen and Quinlan and I just wanted to express my view as widely as possible. It's my blog I can do that right?

I never know how to start these, it's so weird, I just kinda rant till I run out of space so if anyone plans on reading this they are forwarned. There seems to be a lot to rant about at the mo, I am really scared about going to university in like three weeks and now my 'E' on the keyboard isn't working properly.

I looked around other people's blogs to figure out what to right and I still don't have a clue, I'm just gonna do what I do on my Live journal and see how much stuff I can rant about before I run out of space.




Khaleen and Quinlan Vos vs Anakin Skywalker and Padme Naberrie

Quinlan is a Jedi and as such is not at liberty to have a romantic relationship with anyone but he is working undercover as Kovo Vos, to those around him he is just a spy. He works with Khaleen Hentz, a professional theif who has fallen in love with him.

When Quinlan's cover is blown Khaleen realizes he is a Jedi but her feelings for him do not change or though she knows he cannot return her feelings.

Anakin Skywalker is a young Jedi padawan, however he lived his early life as a slave on the desert planet Tatooine, there he met a farm girl Padme Naberrie where he later found out she was actually a Queen. Anakin proclaims that one day he will marry Padme.

Ten years later Anakin is a Jedi padawan, restless and eager to become a Knight, he is assigned to protect Padme again.

Anakin and Padme leave the capital and return to Padme's homeplant of Naboo where they fall in love.


Backdrop

Quinlan and Khaleen
They are working together in the shadows, with Quinlan in Dooku's circle and Khaleen feeding infomation to the Jedi. It is highly dangerous and very dark

Padme and Anakin
A romantic hideaway, the perfect place to fall in love-not so dangerous

relationship
There is a courtly love between Padme and Anakin, a very sigh worthy aw type love. Khaleen and Quinlan's is more grown up-and as Quinlan begins to turn it becomes even more doomed.
