Mechanical Notes

Overall, Vu views fighting as a cruel necessity of her vocation and doesn't treat lightsaber fighting like an art form. Her style is practical and defensive. She makes up for a lack of interest in the finer points lightsaber fighting by tightly integrating Force powers into her combat strategy. Early on, she leans on her Ascetic talents and Ebb/Flow force powers to manipulate Strain and will eventually manifest more exotic psychic abilities useful in combat (like reflecting wounds back on attackers).
