Koten is a Force-sensitive alien individual who lives on the planet Selk, a world that has been ravaged and polluted by Imperial occupation. She is the older sister of Tichina, and together they are among the last survivors of their community after the Empire expanded onto their planet and killed their mother, who had once led a rebellion. Koten's background is defined by loss and survival, as she grows up in a scorched landscape dominated by an Imperial factory that has stripped the world of its clean water and natural resources. Her personality is marked by caution and pragmatism, shaped by the trauma of losing her mother and witnessing the Empire's destructive power. She often shows little patience for her younger sister's hopeful and idealistic memories of the past, preferring instead to focus on the immediate necessities of staying alive. Koten's primary motivation is protecting Tichina, whom she sees as the only family she has left. She is unwilling to take unnecessary risks and seeks only to hide and scavenge rather than fight back, believing that direct confrontation with the Empire would be futile and dangerous. In the story, Koten serves as the cautious, protective older sister who must eventually confront her own fears and grief when Tichina's stubborn determination leads her into danger. When Tichina is captured by Imperial forces while attempting to infiltrate the factory, Koten is forced to act. Her role evolves from a survivor focused on evasion to a rescuer who must tap into a hidden power she had suppressed. Koten's key relationships are with her sister Tichina and the memory of their mother. Her bond with Tichina is the emotional center of her character, marked by both frustration and deep love. Tichina's unwavering faith in their mother's strength and in Koten's own hidden abilities serves as a catalyst for Koten's development. Their mother, though deceased, remains a powerful presence in Koten's life as both a source of grief and a legacy of resistance. Koten's development is the core of her character arc. She begins the story burdened by cynicism and doubt, haunted by the loss of her mother and unwilling to believe that they can overcome the Empire. She initially suppresses the Force sensitivity she inherited from her mother, viewing it as either nonexistent or too dangerous to use. However, when Tichina's life is threatened, Koten's instinct to protect her sister overrides her fear. She harnesses the Force, not by attacking the Imperial AT-ST directly, but by using her power to tip over a massive water container, flooding the factory and destroying it. This act not only saves Tichina but also begins the healing of their planet, as the pollution clears and the stars, once hidden by smog, become visible again. In this moment, Koten transforms from a frightened survivor into a protector who embraces her heritage and discovers her own strength. Koten's notable abilities are rooted in her latent Force sensitivity. She is initially unaware or unwilling to acknowledge this power, but it manifests when her sister is in mortal danger. She demonstrates the ability to exert telekinetic force on a large scale, tipping over an enormous water tank to defeat the Imperial forces. This ability is tied directly to her emotional state, specifically her love and determination to save her family. The story implies that she inherited this sensitivity from her mother, and that it had been dormant until the moment she truly needed it. Beyond her Force abilities, Koten is resourceful, physically capable, and skilled at moving stealthily through the industrial ruins of her world, as shown when she successfully infiltrates the Imperial factory to steal water. Her greatest strength, however, is her love for her sister, which ultimately becomes the key to unlocking her power.
