BISEXUAL'S FOLLY

So, sleeplessness is pretty rare actually. Cele doesn’t have a hard time falling asleep, but I think she has a more difficult time staying asleep. When everything feels a little too real and she’s not completely in control, she has a tendency to bolt up in bed in a cold sweat. And when that happens, it’s anywhere from five minutes to five hours before she can actually roll back over and go to back to bed. Sometimes she’ll lie back down and just try to brute force it, sometimes she’ll meditate, and other times still she’ll get up and wander the base for a while. The latter is a last resort because between the lucidity of her dreams and the way the force interacts with it, things can get confusing and fast. She’ll only do it if she can clearly tell the difference between reality and what lingers in her mindscape.

One dream she has quite often is one with Ekta. A training session, when she was younger, and was unable to complete a trial correctly. Cele used to be rarely direct enough to understand how to do it, so she would work around the problem rather than addressing it head on. But what’s changed about it is that Cele’s voice is far older. And they talk sometimes. It isn’t the Ekta she knew before she died or after, but some other version her mind has constructed — possibly to comfort her? She doesn’t know. But she keeps coming back to that moment, and sometimes seeks out her advice. Or just uses the time to be around her.

21. Your character has been granted 3 wishes; what would they wish for and why?

- Galactic peace (So they can quit working so hard all the time. If it could just halt and fix itself without the Alliance having to do anything, she would be over every single moon in the system.)

- A fuller understanding of the Force (Cele is relatively smart and strong and crafty with it, but she left the Jedi council before she could spend more time studying it. She doesn’t like the Sith on principle, but she does wish there was enough time in the day to absorb more about how the Force really works)

- A glimpse of the future (Out of curiosity. Cele is a do now, think later, hope it helps kind of person. She doesn’t know if anything she’s ever done has actually mattered in the grand scheme of things. She hopes it has. But she’ll never know. A minute glance five, ten, fifteen years forward might sate that interest — or just create more questions.)
