Biography[]
She-Bends-Light is a Spacer serving in the 20th Fleet aboard the Shining Destiny. When General Bel Riose returned to service, she greeted him warmly, telling him that she had missed his smile. Riose ordered her to set a course for the Outer Reach.[2] She-Bends-Light successfully navigated the ship to Siwenna.[4] While reviewing footage of the Foundation whisper-ship jumping away from Siwenna, She-Bends-Light was contacted by her mother, She-Is-Center, informing her that the ship the Empire was seeking was in their custody. The Home-Swarm arrived at the Shining Destiny's position, allowing a reunion between mother and daughter.[1] She-Bends-Light was present on the bridge of the Shining Destiny during the Battle of Terminus.[5]
After the battle, She-Bends-Light was ordered by Emperor Cleon to jump to the other worlds under the Foundation's control to destroy them after General Riose refused the order. She-Bends-Light complied, but in secret enacted a protocol that would trigger a jump sequence where every ship in the Imperial fleet would jump into its neighbor, annihilating all the vessels. Hober Mallow's deal with the Spacers had worked, and the ruse had been needed to get the entire Imperial fleet to Terminus. In exchange for their freedom, the Spacers on the Imperial ships sacrificed themselves. She-Bends-Light died when the Shining Destiny was destroyed, as no escape pods or small vessels could leave the vessel either.[3]
