let's blow this popcicle stand

im afraid this'll be a bit of an info dump, and im no artist, so you'll get my clones two at a time :). i got carried away when brainstorming a jedi character and now she has a whole battalion of idiots to look after. the 300th Battalion, her flagship battalion, is a part of the larger 15th Lantern Corps, which she is in command of. High Jedi General Hadisa Lim'e (sadly cannot add the right accent marks) is her name.

these clone's identifying color is a medium aquamarine, usually painted creatively and with detail! they are heavily influenced by Hadisa's homeworld's culture (a planet of my own creation).

High Jedi General Hadisa Lim'e \ Queen Esther of Persia

"...perhaps you have come to your royal position for such a time as this." ----Esther 4:14b

(this one was intentional) Hadisa's name is derived from Esther's Hebrew name Hadassah, which means myrtle.

myrtle was mentioned in other passages to grow in the wilderness and in the place of evil -> Esther became queen in a pagan land and stopped Haman's plan to exterminate the Jews. Hadisa became a wartime hero who challenged the ideas that this war is for the good of the galaxy (and that clones are not people).

both women were chosen and taken from their homes to serve a "greater purpose" -> Esther for the king's harem, and Hadisa for the Jedi Order.

both women became very influential in their worlds -> Esther became Queen of Persia, and Hadisa became a Jedi Master.

both women were a part of minority groups -> Esther was a Jewish woman, and Hadisa was a Cousaulti jedi.

both women were troubled by the times and fear of death -> Esther by the destruction of her people, and the danger of approaching the king unannounced. Hadisa by the war she fought in and the constant reminder that she was responsible for her men's lives.

both women had to undergo an important, rigorous, long process to reach their position -> Esther experienced lavish beauty and cosmetic treatments for an entire year, and Hadisa was trained in the force for most of her life.

both women had adoptive father figures that guided and supported them -> Esther had Mordecai, her cousin who adopted her, and Hadisa had Diomo Te, her jedi master.

im sooo obsessed with ordinary sainthood and religious iconography with my characters too, because its all about symbolism. taking people and their soul and daily life and story and personhood and turning into something revered, holy, sacred. like, someone bled and cried in a war and tried to hope for light at the end of the tunnel. and here they are pictured in the stained glass with the sun behind them. their armor markings have been turned into good luck symbols, they bear a halo and are painted in gold on centuries-old stone.
