Clone Trooper: Sister

"What's your name, trooper?" “Sister. It's how my brothers tell everyone I belong."

[arriettyspin]

A little anidala-related headcanon of mine:

Queen's Hope revealed that Padmé struggled to put her wedding dress together the night before her and Anakin's wedding. Eventually, she ended up enlisting the help of her former handmaiden who was a skilled tailor. Yané was concerned, but also willing to ask no questions.

Yané did of course share the news of Padmé's visit with Saché, but perhaps the couple decided to confide in Rabé as well. Rabé, who chose to study music in Theed after her life as a handmaiden came to an end. Unlike Sabé, she was still living on Naboo. It's very likely they kept in touch and were closer than the others.

This information would stir any young musician, the idea of the grounded young Queen and childhood friend you once served eloping with the unknown. Someone she really shouldn't be with, perhaps. And thus Rabé was inspired to compose the tune Across The Stars as a secret serenade to Amidala and her hidden love.

I made this back in june just before I started posting here :D this is sister, a canon trans clone trooper

Sabé realizing that Anakin and Padme got married and are not just "sleeping together" so to speak. I legit thought she knew earlier in the book and now she's shocked, girl what did you expect when you said Padme goes all the way in with love 😂

[happyfartman]

I am reading Queen's Hope and Padme talked about how she trust Wookies and only thing i can think about is how Chewbacca, a wookie protected Padme's daughter and son until they died

[girlrandomstuff]

I love when Star Wars is Royal women falling for ordinary boys

Adding this cuz i really want to happen

Chosen One Tuesday: Anakin supports Trans Rights!

He easily accepted trans clone trooper Sister and reassured her that anyone can transcend gender.

Thank you @starsdies for this week's Anakin fact!

Sisterrrrrr

Name: Sister Pronouns: she/her Era: Galactic Republic Appears in: Queen's Hope, Brotherhood

Sister was a clone trooper who served under Obi-Wan Kenobi in the 7th Sky Corps. She was transgender, and was given the name "Sister" by her fellow clones as a sign of support for her and her gender identity. She made a point to honour all of her fellow troops that fell in battle.

Learn more about Sister, and some criticisms on how she was written, in her profile video.

Full profile under the cut:

Sister was a transgender clone trooper in the Galactic Army of the Republic. She was part of the 7th Sky Corps, and worked with Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi on a few missions. She carried a DC 15-A blaster rifle and had pink and blue armour paint. 

Sister was loyal to her brothers, and made a point to honour her fellow clones that fell in battle. Her brothers were just as loyal right back to her. Sister said that her name was “how her brothers tell everyone she belongs,” and that they “never let her doubt” herself when they left Kamino. Anakin Skywalker was also supportive and accepting of Sister, and assured her that the Jedi would also be accepting of her gender identity. 

Sister has appeared in two novels: Queen’s Hope by EK Johnston in 2021, and Brotherhood by Mike Chen in 2022.

Johnston commissioned artwork of Sister for the book’s release. Made by Uzuri Art, Sister was originally depicted with pink and blue armour paint, and black cornrow-style braids. 

As with all the clones, Sister is based on Temuera Morrison, who is Polynesian. In the original commission, Sister has cornrows, which is a culturally Black hairstyle. EK Johnston was criticized for this decision as both erasure of Maaori and Polynesian representation, and as cultural appropriation for using cornrows on a non-Black character. After this criticism, EK Johnston commissioned the artist to change Sister’s hairstyle to look more like French braids.

Johnston has also been criticized for Sister's poor inclusion in the novel. Sister appears for less than one page, and her few lines are about being trans.

This is a descriptive profile. Commentary on the character will be discussed in a separate post.

"My hands are yours," she said. "Please don't ask me for them again."

Padmé nodded, tears in her eyes, because she couldn't speak.
