Kreia, a central character in Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, is a blind Force-sensitive mentor of the player character, the Jedi Exile.
She rejects the light and dark side divide of the Force and eventually reveals herself as the Sith Lord Darth Traya, aiming to destroy the Force.
Created by Chris Avellone, her character served as a sounding board for the game’s themes and Avellone’s critique of the Star Wars universe.
Voiced by Sara Kestelman, she was praised for her voice acting, dialogues and complexity.
Kreia’s character and philosophy were influenced by Ravel Puzzlewell from Planescape: Torment and Avellone’s frustrations with the Force concept. Despite being a Sith Lord, she is portrayed as having genuine, albeit twisted, maternal love for the player and a desire to see them grow.
This multifaceted nature contributes to her character’s mystery and intrigue.
Below are some of the most popular quotes by Kreia.

Take the greatest Jedi Knight, strip away the Force, and what remains? They rely on it, depend on it, more than they know. Watch as one tries to hold a blaster, as they try to hold a lightsaber, and you will see nothing more than a woman – or a man. A child. ~ Kreia.
