Asajj Ventress is a character in the Star Wars universe, a Force-sensitive warrior born of the Nightsisters of Dathomir. Trained in the ways of the dark side, she rose to become an assassin and the apprentice of Count Dooku during the Clone Wars.
Wielding a pair of curved-hilt lightsabers, Ventress served the Confederacy of Independent Systems as a formidable adversary of the Jedi, clashing repeatedly with Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. After being betrayed by Dooku, she returned to her Nightsister kin and later pursued a path of her own.
