Kad'la Skytower was the child of Vhe'tra Skytower and Kasdeya Malek, and as such, was raised as a Mandalorian. Half human, and half Iskalonian, she often questioned her instincts, afraid to fall too far one direction or the other. Her inner conflict was later added to by a journal that was written by her father's past wife, Kit Sanguine, which challenged her views on the value of life. Though she tried to keep a mature appearance, Kad'la found her resolve shaken by the chaos around her.
