Been watching the mandalorian and rewatching clone wars so I drew some girls <3

[lightwanders]

senatcrdala​:

           This  was…  risky  for  Padmé  to  do.  However,  one  of  the  Coruscant  guards  saw  her  down  in  the  lower  parts,  and  the  senator  was  very  grateful  for  this  information.  Honestly,  there  was  little  time  with  what  happened  to  Ahsoka.  Anakin  glazed  by  it,  never  wanting  to  talk  about  it  after  that.  So,  she  had  the  guards  look  out  for  her…  if  she  was  still  on  Coruscant.

          A  hand  reached  for  her  own,  and  pulled  her  into  an  alleyway.  Soft  warm  hues  looked  around,  taking  off  her  hood  from  her  cloak.  Padmé  was  glowing  in  more  ways  than  one.  If  Anakin  knew  where  she  was  he  would  throw  such  a  scene.  Still,  she  was  always  thankful  for  him.  His  actions  come  out  of  the  goodness  of  his  heart.

        “  Ahsoka,  it’s  so  nice  to  see  you  again,  ”  despite  the  girl’s  worry,  Padmé  couldn’t  help  but  smile,  “  You  look  well.  That’s  good.  I  didn’t  think  you  would  still  be  on  Coruscant,  but  it  has  been  only  a  few  months.  ”

            “  I  came  here  to  see  you.  I  was…  worried.  I  hadn’t  seen  you  since,  well,  you  had  left.  ”

𝐇𝐄𝐑  𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐂𝐊  𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐄𝐃,  and  Ahsoka  couldn't  help  but  mirror  Padme's  smile.  She  walked  away  from  the  only  life  she  knew  without  so  much  as  a  backward  glance,  but  letting  go  hadn't  proved  quite  so  easy.  Her  thoughts  wandered  to  the  war,  the  Jedi,  her  former  Master  more  often  than  she  cared  to  admit.  And  Padme.

"I'm  sorry  I  couldn't  see  you  again  before...you  know,"  she  said,  glancing  away.  "I  still  can't  thank  you  enough  for  what  you  did  in  the  Senate."  Every  bit  of  precious  time  Padme  secured  for  her  in  the  trial  was  a  moment  Anakin  had  to  prove  her  innocence;  anyone  else,  and  it  might  not  have  been  enough.  "After  I  got  back  to  the  Temple,  everything  happened  so  fast.  I...didn't  get  to  say  goodbye  to  anyone,  really."  Maybe  it  was  for  the  best.  Maybe  that  would  only  make  things  harder.  She  couldn't  say.

"Are  you  doing  okay?"  Though  the  Senate  and  the  Jedi  sat  only  a  few  miles  above  them  on  the  surface,  the  war  might  as  well  have  been  a  thousand  lightyears  away  for  all  the  citizens  of  the  undercity  gave  it  heed.  Each  day  went  on  more  or  less  the  same,  in  spite  of  the  Republic's  efforts  across  the  Galaxy.  "I  don't  get  as  much  news  down  here,  to  tell  you  the  truth."

Ahsoka by Sara Kipin from Star Wars: Women of the Galaxy

[lightwanders]

𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐒  𝐈𝐓  𝐖𝐀𝐒  𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐘  𝐀  𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑  𝐎𝐅  𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄  before  the  truth  came  out.  The  Force  had  a  way  of  making  itself  known,  and  far  be  it  from  her  to  thwart  it.  "Ellie..."  she  began,  breathing  a  soft  sigh  of  defeat.  Ahsoka  already  knew  from  the  Rebel's  intelligence  why  they  ferried  the  girl  from  world  to  world,  always  one  step  ahead  of  the  Inquisitors'  forces;  even  if  she  hadn't,  she  could  sense  her  budding  powers,  like  the  embers  of  a  roaring  fire  not  yet  lit.  A  fire  she  could  not  afford  to  light,  when  she  could  not  be  there  to  tend  it.

"I'm  sorry.  That  I  didn't  tell  you."  Couldn't  tell  her,  until  there  remained  no  choice.  "It's  not  that  it  wasn't  important."  Ahsoka  understood,  that  longing  for  connection.  Maybe  even  more  so,  having  lost  it  herself  all  those  years  ago.  They  weren't  meant  to  be  alone  when  their  very  abilities  opened  up  connection  to  every  spark  of  life  the  Galaxy  had  to  offer  —  a  bond  that  went  both  ways.  "But  opening  yourself  up  to  the  Force  can  leave  you...vulnerable."

"The  more  you  reach  for  it,  the  more  it  reaches  for  you."  Balance,  in  all  things.  And  that  spark  that  read  as  her  presence  in  the  Force  would  only  grow  brighter.  There  would  come  a  point  where  even  the  Rebellion  couldn't  hide  her  from  the  Empire.  "You  would  need  proper  training.  A  real  Master."

"I  can't  be  that  for  you  right  now."  Maybe  ever,  though  she  thought  better  than  to  say  so.  "Keeping  a  low  profile  was  your  best  option."

running  around  the  galaxy  was  tiring.  it  was  a  bit  surreal  to  think  sometimes  about  how  far  she’d  come.  about  how  she’d  come  from  some  random  moon  in  the  outer  rim,  and  now?  she  felt  like  she’d  been  on  the  run  for  a  lifetime,  depending  on  people  from  the  rebellion  to  help  her.  most  of  the  time,  things  went  as  smoothly  as  she  could  possibly  imagine.  she  kept  her  head  low,  kept  herself  away  from  any  kind  of  conflict.  except  this  time?  it  seemed  like  it  wasn’t  quite  that  simple.  ahsoka  and  her  had  done  a  decent  job  of  staying  out  of  trouble,  but  even  they  weren’t  invincible.

ellie  had  always  wondered  about  what  was  dormant  within  her.  she’d  felt  things  building  every  day,  and  yet  she’d  never  been  able  to  understand  any  of  it.  until  now,  maybe.  “     ———      you’ve  been  hiding  that  from  me  the  entire  time  i’ve  been  with  you? ”  granted,  she  really  didn’t  have  to  know  anything  about  ahsoka.  it  wasn’t  ellie’s  place  to  question  her,  to  pry  into  her  life.  in  reality,  ahsoka  was  simply  stringing  her  along  on  this  journey.  

“ they  had  to  have  told  you  something  about  me.  about  who  i  was.  why  you  were  …”  a  frustrated  sigh,  her  looking  off  to  the  side  before  continuing, “… dragging  me  around  like  a  lost  puppy.  and  you  didn’t  think  it  was  important  to  tell  me  that  i  finally  met  someone  who’s  like  me? ”  maybe  it  was  all  of  the  curiosity  within  her  that  had  built  over  the  years,  or  the  frustration  of  never  having  answers  to  any  of  her  questions  since  the  day  she  was  born.  but  her  slight  outburst  felt  like  years  of  her  frustrations  building  up  to  this  moment.          /          @lightwanders​ sc

"You sound more and more like Master Skywalker each day.” A light laugh emitting as she shook her head. Though, it did sound like a good idea. The assembly wasn’t meeting until much later in the day, she had finished preparing her speech and was confident enough at this point that she wouldn’t need to rehearse it as often as she had to in the past - why shouldn’t she sneak away to spend some time with one of her closest friends OUTSIDE of the restrictions of their respective duties in Coruscant? With the confirmation of the Council’s VAGUE instructions to the padawan, it would be easier to dismiss any consequence they would throw her way.

“Did you have anything in mind?”

𝐃𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐆  𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓  𝐓𝐇𝐄  𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐈𝐋  𝐒𝐀𝐈𝐃  𝐖𝐀𝐒  𝐎𝐍𝐄  𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆,  her  master  always  told  her,  how  they  went  about  it  was  another.  Sometimes  a  mission  required  the  use  of  their  own  judgement  —  that's  what  made  them  superior  to  droids,  after  all.  But  sometimes,  it  just  meant  a  little  extra  fun.

"...Well,  there's  the  Inlustri  station,"  she  ventured,  after  a  moment's  thought.  A  civilian  station  still  untouched  by  the  war,  thanks  in  part  to  its  close  proximity  to  Coruscant.  They  could  be  there  and  back  in  an  afternoon,  and  still  have  time  to  enjoy  all  that  it  had  to  offer.

"I've  only  been  once,  for  a  special  outreach  program  the  Jedi  did  when  I  was  a  youngling."  Back  when  they  had  the  time  and  resources  to  devote  to  such  things.  Even  Master  Yoda  participated,  joining  the  other  Masters  in  a  display  of  advance  lightsaber  forms.  She  could  still  hear  the  delighted  gasps.  "I  remember  they  had  things  from  all  over  the  Republic,  though."

What’s Your Role In The Found Family Dynamic?

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐌𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐏𝐒. at first, you were a resource for the established characters to turn to, but you quickly began to steal the show due to your personality, your usefulness, or your inherently interesting perspective on life. you were pretty much already able to provide for yourself, but the next thing you know, these people are growing on you. instead of asking favors, it becomes an invitation to socialize. you find yourself sticking around for no apparent reason other than you like it here. the people are fun to watch, if nothing else, but ultimately they're just--oh no. oh no, you care about them. you always thought you stayed away from this "relationship" stuff for a reason. it gets messy and isn't worth it unless it really works. for some reason, this group really works. these weirdos are now your weirdos, and if anything happens to them, there will be hell to pay. you were basically already looking after them before this, after all. welcome to the family, hermit.

"𝐘𝐄𝐒,  𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑  𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒."  Though  her  head  remained  bowed  in  respectable  acknowledgement  to  the  Queen,  there  was  no  hiding  the  young  Padawan's  grin.  The  Jedi's  teachings  stressed  humility,  but  if  you  asked  her,  it  was  just  as  foolish  to  underestimate  as  overestimate  oneself  —  and  no  one  could  no  deny  her  powers  were  growing  by  leaps  and  bounds,  day  after  day.

"Weeell  it's  been  a  while  since  I  sparred  at  the  Temple,"  she  said,  if  only  to  avoid  outright  agreement.  "It  doesn't  hurt  that  I  get  more  field  experience  than  most."  At  that  she  allowed  her  gaze  to  wander  for  the  first  time,  her  eyes  finding  art  wherever  they  looked.  Hard  to  imagine  they  were  the  place  of  an  invasion,  not  that  long  ago.

"I'm  looking  forward  to  seeing  Naboo.  My  Master  speaks  very  highly  of  your  world."

       ‘  you  are  skywalker’s  young  padawan,  are  you  not?  ’  a  small  smile  tempted  the  queen’s  lips  as  she  greeted  the  young  togruta.  symphony  didn’t  meet  as  many  jedi  knights  as  one  might  think  a  monarch  should  be  meeting  with,  or  at  the  very  least,  not  as  many  jedi  as  she  admittedly  wanted  to  meet.  they FASCINATED  her,  especially  the  little  ones.  displays  of  incredible  bravery  and  selflessness  you  wouldn’t  find  anywhere  else. 

       ‘  i  bet  you  run  circles  around  the  older  ones,  don’t  you?  ’

              She   was   alive.  She   was   exhausted,  but   she   was   alive.   Of   course,   Ahsoka  was   too,   but   that   didn’t  always   mean   she   was   alright.  Barriss   held   her   dear,   for   they   did   have   their  moments   together.   Bonded  over   the   fact  of   being   a   Padawan,   stuck  in   the   middle  of   a   war,  and   the   fact  they   almost   died  once   too.   They  clicked,   and   that  settled   with   Barriss.  It   was   relief  to   have   someone  who   could   relate  to   her,   to   keep   her…grounded?  

           The   Padawan   knew  that   this   could  be   a   situation,  the   way   she   slowly   started  to   latch   on   to   her…

              Her   eyes   shifted  down   to   look  at   her   hands.  There   was   a   tug   of   guilt   in   her   throat,  sucking   out   any   sort   of   moisture.   Barriss  remembered   her   pleas,  telling   her   to   do   the   right   thing…ending   her   life   would  have   been   the   better   way.  Well,   so   she   thought.   Now   that   she   was   alive,  she   was   more  than   grateful.   Barriss  didn’t   know   if   what   she   said,   or   what   Ahsoka  did,   was   the   right   way.  This   was   where  the   teachings   get   so   lost  and   confusing   to   her.

              “   Don’t   worry   about  it…   ”   her   brows  furrowed   as   she   concentrated   on   her   own   speech,   “   I   don’t-….I  mean…   ”   she   looked  back   at   Ahsoka,  expression   warmed,   “   It’s   all   in   the   past.   We   shouldn’t   worry  about   it.   ”

"𝐈  𝐆𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐒  𝐘𝐎𝐔'𝐑𝐄  𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓."  Dwelling  on  the  past  could  be  as  detrimental  as  dwelling  on  the  future.  Focus  on  the  here  and  now,  she  heard  her  Master  say.  Only,  the  here  and  now  was  Barris,  and  she  still  didn't  look  so  good.  Ahsoka  squinted  to  the  machines  hooked  up  to  her  fellow  Padawan,  and  while  she  couldn't  read  any  of  the  complicated  measurements,  nothing  seemed  amiss.  They  weren't  sounding  any  alarms,  anyway.  She  took  that  as  a  good  sign.

"The  most  important  thing  to  do  now  is  get  some  rest."  It  would  be  back  to  business  before  they  knew  it;  in  fact,  their  Masters  were  already  there,  waiting.  The  War  wasn't  going  to  stop  just  because  a  few  creepy  worms  tried  to  crawl  into  their  brains.  Drawing  her  hands  back  into  her  lap,  she  smoothed  her  fingers  over  her  skirt,  hesitating  to  stand.

"Do  you,  uh  —  want  me  to  stay...?"  It  seemed  like  the  polite  thing  to  do.  Offering,  that  is.  Did  she  want  to  stay?  Ahsoka  thought  she  might.  Since  becoming  Padawan,  time  spent  with  people  her  own  age  came  few  and  far  in  between.  It  felt...nice,  to  call  someone  a  friend  again.  Nearly  dying  next  to  her  (  twice,  in  the  span  of  as  many  days  )  really  put  things  into  perspective.  She  offered  Barriss  a  nervous  smile. "If  not,  that's  alright.  I  can  go  find  Master  Skywalker  or  something.”

“I  just  thought,  maybe  you'd  like  some  company."

Hi hello I’m here to gay up your Star Wars

Kaeden’s twelve hour shift in the medbay was almost over when the bomb went off. She didn’t know the details (it wasn’t her job to know those details when there were lives to save), but she knew it was bad when people began to carry in the injured and the dying in one unending wave. Person after person after person was wheeled into her operating theatre. Her nurses triaged everyone the best they could, but there had been many casualties, and Doctor Larte could only do her best to save the lives of those most grievously injured. Some would be scarred for the rest of their lives. Some would lose limbs. Some bled out despite her best efforts.

She’d thought her loved ones safe until an orange-skinned togruta was transferred to her operating table. To her credit, the only sign of shock Kaeden let herself show was a slight widening of eyes before her hands immediately fell into a familiar, steady rhythmn. Shrapnel was removed, wounds were cleaned, bones were set, and then Ahsoka was being wheeled away and replaced by yet another poor injured soul. Person after person after person. She stitched and cauterized and staved off death for dozens without pausing or hesitating.

Only when the worst of it was over and all the critically injured had been treated did she begin to falter, and her head nurse relieved her from duty. ‘Go sleep,’ he’d told her, ‘You’ve done enough.’ Kaeden promptly collapsed into the chair beside Ahsoka’s bed, and slept. And slept. And slept. She kept sleeping until a raw, croaking voice whispered her name, and finally her head rose up from where it had been pillowed on her arms.

“’Sohka,” she mumbled, voice rough with sleep, but she quickly sobered up. She sat up straight and immediately her back and neck lodged their vehement complaints. “-It’s okay. You’re in medbay. You were caught in an explosion.” Her voice became soft and solemn then. “How are you feeling? They say… they say it would have been a lot worse, if you hadn’t been there to contain the blast. We would have lost that entire wing and most of our fighters.”

𝐃𝐎𝐍'𝐓  𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐊,  𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓  𝐀𝐂𝐓.  An  instinct  that  left  her  called  reckless  more  than  once,  but  Ahsoka  trusted  in  the  Force,  allowed  it  to  guide  her.  Even  a  moment's  hesitation  would  have  cost  them  lives  today.  Perhaps  her  own.

"You  know  me.  Always  happy  to  help."  A  smile  —  then  a  wince.  The  ringing  in  her  montrals  ebbed  and  flowed,  settling  into  a  dull  ache  at  either  temple.  "I've  been  better.  But  something  tells  me  I'd  be  a  lot  worse,  too,  if  you  hadn't  been  here."  Blinking  through  the  fog,  her  eyes  took  in  Kaeden's  uniform,  worn  by  every  medic  that  tended  to  the  Rebellion's  wounded.  She  knew  Kaeden  and  Miara  both  found  their  way  into  their  ranks.  Miara,  so  awed  by  the  B-Wings  that  ensured  their  escape  from  Raada,  could  only  be  satisfied  in  joining  them.  She'd  been  less  sure  where  the  eldest  Larte  would  hone  her  skills;  all  Ahsoka  knew  for  certain  was  that  she  couldn't  compromise  her  identity,  her  position  as  Fulcrum,  for  either  of  them.  Especially  Kaeden.

Jedi  hang-ups.  That's  what  she  called  them.  In  the  middle  of  their  makeshift  insurrection,  there  hadn't  been  time  to  explain  the  finer  details  of  the  Jedi's  views  on  attachment,  what  it  all  meant,  or  if  it  even  still  applied  in  a  galaxy  without  the  Order.  Those  years  could  give  her  no  better  lesson  in  letting  go  (  indeed,  she  hardly  had  anything  left  to  lose  ).  Maybe  that's  why,  when  the  transmission  of  Kaeden  in  the  Inquisition's  custody  made  its  way  to  her  hands,  she  had  no  choice  but  to  act.  Ahsoka  couldn't  guarantee  she  wouldn't  do  the  same  thing  again,  even  now  —  even  to  the  detriment  of  the  Rebellion.  Better  to  keep  her  distance,  and  let  their  paths  take  them  where  they  may.

Leave  it  to  the  Force  to  bring  them  to  bear  again.

Bit  by  bit  clarity  returned,  her  eyes  sweeping  over  fresh  details.  Kaeden's  rumpled  coat,  a  little  bit  of  drool  at  the  corner  of  her  lip,  and  despite  her  own  exhaustion,  she  smiled.  "Did  you  fall  asleep  in  here...?"
