Verosha "Osha" Aniseya, nicknamed Oshie by her sister, was a Force-sensitive human female Sith acolyte during the High Republic Era. Created via the Force by her mother with the aid of a vergence on the planet Brendok, she was raised as part of a coven of witches alongside her twin sister, Mae-ho "Mae" Aniseya. After Mae started a fire in the coven's fortress in order to prevent Osha from going with four Jedi who had discovered their coven, most of the witches, including Osha's mother, were killed by the Jedi. Osha was rescued by Jedi Master Sol and brought to Coruscant where the Jedi Council reluctantly permitted her training despite her advanced age.
At the Jedi Temple, Osha was taken on as Sol's Padawan but failed to control her negative feelings towards her sister for the deaths of her family. For these reasons, and at the recommendation of the Council, as well as Master Indara who had been on the original mission to Brendok, Osha left the Order and, by 132 BBY, was a meknek for the Trade Federation. After Mae resurfaced and murdered Master Indara on Ueda, Osha was initially blamed and arrested by the Jedi for the crime.
However, Osha was quickly absolved of the crime on Olega after Mae killed Master Torbin, leading to the twins' reunion and Osha to team up with her former Jedi Master to bring her sister to justice. Over the course of the investigation, Sol's role in the murder of the twin's mother was gradually revealed, leading a betrayed Osha to fall to the dark side of the Force and kill her former master. She then accepted the invitation of a Sith known simply as "The Stranger" to become his Sith apprentice, parting ways with Mae after the latter had her mind voluntarily erased by the Sith.
