Ceta

Ceta, the progenitor of the Hawk bloodline, crashed on the planet Dathomir many centuries ago while a small child. She had no knowledge of her previous life, only a small ink under the collarbone of a hawk, due to which, the Witches who had found her gave her the name.

''Darkness tempts and preys on our fears, on our soul... it calls.''

A member of the Singing Mountain Clan, Ceta grew up by the laws brought to them by Allya, discovering an affinity for spells not long after she'd adapted to Paecean. Though in the beginning she spoke a language foreign to them, in time she chose to forget it become Dathomiri by choice. And just as Allya had once arrived from the stars and brought them freedom, in time Ceta's arrival was believed to have a purpose as well.

Sometime during her lifetime, the Seer of the Clan had foreseen "the fall of the ceta". In the vision, many 'ceta', hawks, fell from the sky, plundering towards the ground. Knowledge of the prophecy reminded Ceta of her life before she came to live with the Witches, her own birth mother declaring "there is darkness in us all, daughter". These words were knowledge of a hidden past, one she chose to keep to herself. Ceta willingly lived with the Witches, respected their rules and ways. She refused to acknowledge the history of her birth family, far beyond Dathomir. "What if the ceta chooses not to fall?" She even went so far to ask the Ma'tra of the Clan when she heard of the prophecy. ''There is darkness in all of us, daughter. It tempts, it seduces, it consumes. They say we fall but what if we chose it? Just beyond, there is something far greater than what all fear - power. To have the strength to truly become one with the darkness, to achieve such power? Isn't that a wonderful concept, my child? -- Ceta's full memory of her birth mother.''

Ceta never told her adopted family about what she had remembered, choosing to live among them as one of them, choosing to be good. If any Witch was to hear such a concept, they would think her a liar, believing it wasn't possible but Ceta lived out her life among them, good and unfallen. She chose a mate among them, Khan, and bore four children: Nahimana, Nagini, Winter, Hotah and Mato. Her offspring all bore the added name 'Hawk', they were also inked with the same ink their mother bore - a tradition which was kept for several generation before dying out with the enigmatic origins of the Hawk family, unknown to any living members.
