Personality & Appearances[]
Personalities[]
As a child she was kind and caring, but became dark and brooding after the death of her master, Ky Narec. Giving into rage and resentment, she subsequently spiraled into darkness. Known to be quick to anger, Ventress could easily be infuriated, such as when her formidable lightsaber skills were described to her as those of an amateur by Luminara Unduli. Despite her quick temper, she was very cunning and swift, allowing her to outsmart most foes, like Jedi.
Ventress could also be vindictive and inconsiderate. After being betrayed, abandoned and nearly killed by Dooku, Ventress desired to kill him and went to the Nightsisters to find a way to defeat her former Master. She recruited Savage Opress and treated him like a slave which ultimately caused him to turn against her.
After becoming a bounty hunter, her attitude had softened somewhat, as seen when she allowed Pluma Sodi to return to her people. Likewise, she had lost interest in killing some of her former enemies, including Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka Tano. In fact, she rescued Kenobi from Darth Maul and Opress, more interested in the latter's bounty reward than her previous enmity with the Jedi Master. On the other hand, she helped Tano, as she empathized with the Padawan's situation, likening it to her own with Count Dooku. She also incapacitated a group of clones without seriously harming any of them, and implied that not killing people was her new modus operandi. To highlight her misunderstood status, she used a snake as the icon on her bounty hunter armor; they are thought to be evil, even when they are not.Appearance[]
During the beginning of the Clone Wars Ventress wore a shirt made of a dark, midnight blue stretch fabric that had an opening as wide as for her chest. The lower half of shirt is covered with light grey wraps with deep lilac shading. She had forearm wraps, two belts, a buckle, a tabard, leggings and a full length skirt.
During her days as a bounty hunter, Ventress wore an outfit with leggings with a pattern that resembled the red piping. The shoulder plate of the costume had an illustration of a black snake.

Meeting Mother Talzin again, Ventress wanted to get revenge on Dooku and her 2 Nightsisters tried to kill him at his palace but they failed. Ventress then tried to use Savage Opress to kill Dooku but that failed as well. For the Nightsisters actions against Dooku, he ordered the heroic cyborg General Grievous to destroy all of the evil Nighsisters and Ventress. While Grievous's heroic actions during the Battle of Dathomir proved successful, Ventress and Mother Talzin survived.

Later, Ventress became a Bounty hunter, working for the highest bidder and worked alongside Krayt's Claw for a brief period. She then ended up in Coruscant Underworld and worked as a bounty hunter. In 20 BBY, Ventress ran into Ahsoka Tano who was being framed for a terrorist attack on the evil Jedi Temple. Ventress was going to bring Ahsoka back in for credits but decided to help Tano after they had a common goal. After helping Tano find what she needed, they parted ways and she was knocked out by Barriss Offee, who stole her lightsabers. After that, Ventress was interrogated by Anakin Skywalker into finding out who framed Ahsoka and Ventress gave him the info he needed.
Plan to sell Grievous to the highest bidder[]
Sometime later, Ventress was roaming the Underworld as 2 Shock Troopers were talking about Battle of Skako in which Grievous was captured.
