Recently, it was revealed that the female Inquisitor in Rebels Season 2 is called the Seventh Sister and is indeed, as heavily speculated, a Mirialan. It was also revealed that she has a grudge against Ahsoka. With all this, its adding fuel to the speculation that the Seventh Sister is Barriss Offee. I have a hard time believing that it isn't. Lets look over all the evidence.


 * She's a Mirialan - Sure, just because she's a Mirialan doesn't automatically make her Barriss, but there are currently only two known Mirialans in the New Canon - Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee. Luminara was confirmed dead in the Rebels episode Rise of the Old Masters, in which her body and a hologram of her being marched to her execution were used by The Inquisitor to draw the rebels into a trap in the Spire on Stygeon Prime. Barriss' fate, however, is unknown. The last we saw of her was the Temple Guards dragging her away to prison for bombing the Jedi Temple. This leaves Barriss the only previously introduced Mirialan that could be used. This doesn't neccessarily mean that the Seventh Sister is not a new character, though.


 * She has a grudge against Ahsoka - In the recently published video on the Star Wars YouTube channel, The Seventh Sister Unmasked, it is emphasized that the Seventh Sister has a grudge against Ahsoka. The last we heard of Barriss, she committed the bombing of the Jedi Temple and framed her former friend, Ahsoka Tano. The only reason that Barriss was able to be blamed was because Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka's master, realized it was her, dueled her, and captured her. It's possible that Palpatine played on this and Barriss's hate for the Jedi, causing her to completely fall to the dark side and serve as an Inquisitor under him.

Now lets look at the evidence against it being Barriss. I'll try my best to provide an explanation for why it could still be Barriss.


 * She has a different skin tone than Barriss - The Seventh Sister's skin color is different than Barriss's skin color, but only slightly. It's possible that this is due to Barriss being corrupted by the dark side, and aging as well.


 * She has no tattoos - The Seventh Sister has no tattoos, however she does have scars where Barriss's tattoos would be. It could be possible that, in order to prove her loyalty to the dark side and cut ties with the generally light sided Mirialan culture, she had her tattoos removed. Or perhaps these are new tattoos to signify her allegiance to the dark side.

So at this point all we can do is speculate and debate that the Seventh Sister is Barriss Offee. Only time will tell whether she truly is or not.
