assorted headcanons - 3/? (happy edition)
essa really enjoys working with the younglings and has been known to go to the crèche to show them a little bit more about force healing. every chance she gets to visit as part of her duties she takes, whether it be a demonstration or administering routine vaccinations.
she loves teaching and was planning on taking another padawan after ivlin, but opted to wait until after the war and focus on her work at the temple instead. she still wants opportunities to pass on information to others, so she has an open invitation to any padawan who is interested in or is specializing in force healing to join her for a bit of mentorship outside of their regular classes and training.
essa has a good friend that she met as a padawan and has since stayed in touch with. this friend now owns a tea shop and has created a specific blend of teas for essa; it is a light tea with a strong citrusy and floral aroma and taste
she loves plants and wishes she knew how to grow them well, a skill that she does figure out later in life.
though she works mainly at the jedi temple and doesn’t typically see a lot of clones there, she makes an effort to get to know what she can about them personally in the times that they are around.
as much as she loves her role in the halls of healing, her favourite part of being a healer has always been fieldwork. she jumps at the opportunity to go and help, especially if it is civilians who have been hurt by the conflict.
