Prompt #1: Who Are You?
Who am I? That depends on who you ask, I suppose.
Ask the Council, and I am a wise Jedi, preferring to listen before I speak and plan before I act. Ask Anakin, my former Padawan, and he would tell you that perhaps I need to hold my tongue with that same Council a little less often and cut loose a little more. Still, on a good day, he might admit I can have a fun, sometimes.
Anakin has much of my Master in him. My Master, Qui-Gon Jinn... Circumstances of the time set aside, he once said that I was ready for my Trials. He died before he could cut my braid. I might have asked one of the other Masters to do it for me, but I chose to sever the plait myself. It was, after all, formality by that point. Young Anakin was about to become my student and I his Master.
I have never felt like a Master a day in my life. Not while on the Council, and not while training Anakin. I shall always be a Padawan. I think, sometimes, about why I cling to that notion, about why I still carry my braid in my belt pouch, but I do not worry about it. I am Jedi. If I listen long enough, the answer will come to me, even if I do not like it.
