so in the star wars universe in my head, a lot of cisn’t clones have very bold eye make up designs straight up tattooed on their faces

it was a trend started by an early CG shock trooper called Sonia. She, along with the Corries’ Chief Medic Garrotte (before she’d been promoted out of the field) and their she/they buddy Captain Stone got absolutely plastered one night after surviving their first multi-district fire in the undercity, and pulled out the tattoo gun along with the bright, Corrie red ink they’d managed to get somewhere.

Soon followed Jaig eyes for Stone—which even Fox had to admit looked so fucking cool he very nearly caved and forgave them for it—and a flame design for Sonia that was very nearly as cool. Garrotte got a comparatively simple line slashed over each eye, from the sides of her nose to just below her temple. Fox would have given her credit for her subtlety, but she also tattooed her neck to mimic her namesake, a wire-thin red line around her throat just above her voice box, with a little bow on it ‘tied’ off to the side, just to be cute.

Garrotte was one of Fox’s favourites. the truth was it was cute. She was adorable; but this dangerous modification to her appearance made him want to strangle her because he wanted her to be safe.

and so, Fox had an actual panic attack when he saw all three of them the next morning, nursing their monstrous hangovers with kaf strong enough to stand a spoon up in, but feeling extremely smug about their new ink; their table in the mess hall surrounded by a crowd of excited corries, many of whom were keen to get their own very identifiable facial tattoos. This was at the tail end of the early days, where the clone brass of 000 were finally figuring out that if they wanted to stop haemorrhaging shinies (who universally seemed to think it was a smart idea to take up Senators’ spouses and children on an easy fuck or two whenever given the chance, and were then surprised when they got caught and the universally controlling and horrible Senators punished them for it—by summarily ordering their murder) they would need to present an absolute bescar-clad, perfectly united front. Which pretty much meant looking exactly the same so they could switch in and out and confuse the shit out of the kinds of senators that thought being cruel to clones and sending them for reconditioning or even decommissioning was fun.

So to Fox (the one exception to these rules, as Palpatine had already singled him out, so he decided to all but paint a giant red target on his armour to draw all eyes to himself), three of their most vulnerable troopers straight up etching their identities on their eyelids was the very height of conspicuousness, and so dangerous even with their recently laid down Buckets Stay The Fuck On When Outside The Barracks policy, that he insisted on them taking up desk jobs for the foreseeable future, safe behind the many guarded doors of the offices—a move that Fox later had to admit had been fruitful, as all three ladies turned out to actually be pretty brilliant at logistics and paperwork wrangling; which would eventually get Stone promoted to Commander so they could wrangle even more flimsy into submission. Little did the cake eaters of the GAR know the person who actually turned up to receive those promotions and consequently endure their soliloquies about exemplary service and flimsy keeping the GAR rolling was Thire and not Stone. but there was nothing for it, she’d made her bed, she had to lay in it (though she honestly didn’t seem nearly contrite enough for Fox’s patience, even years later).

Similarly, Garrotte thrived as Chief Medic, and quickly turned the Coruscant Guard’s med bay into her own fiefdom, using her authority to ensure more corrie troopers survived than anyone could have predicted given the conditions and their lack of extra supplies for the troopers they managed to safe from Decom via stealthy chip removals, serial number swaps, and slick paperwork wrangling (in fact The Three Sisters were the ones behind most of those little rescues, and Fox made sure not to learn any of the details so he could claim ignorance).

Those tatts and Fox’s public breakdown were the catalyst for the later famous speech about staying the fuck alive in the corrie guard, which became an unofficial list of rules that made Fox infamous amoung the GAR for being a fun hater and ball breaker but had him loved withequal furivor among the CG as the shock troopers in red realised that he was right; their identical appearance was like a second set of armour, in a place where their chances of survival were so much more fraught than anyone could have guessed.

It did mean, unfortunately, that no other CG sisters were able to get themselves that most coveted eye ink for quite a while after that first incident, till things settled down a little, and the Commanders were able to establish some more nuanced rules, having been able to gather data and figure out the most perilous positions for displaying the slightest scrap of individuality (rule adjustment 5: If a Clone Trooper of the Coruscant Guard hasn’t been ordered to debucket by a natborn superior in a Coruscant year, they may begin to experiment with ink and hairstyles within certain limits, see Base Medic Pat for details—do not under any circumstances bug Chief Medic Garrotte with your cosmetic concerns, or you’ll find yourself scrubbing bedpans) but as Sonia, Garrotte and Stone were the life of the party at 79s, as well as intra-clone community social media networks, and were often seen in clone-only spaces without their helmets on; many of their sisters in the wider GAR saw their face art, and and wanted in.

All too soon, the clone girlies posted on fronts all over the galaxy were frothing for a chance to avail themselves of this absolutely fire look. it was a trend that swept through the republic army faster than any one thought possible, with the only roadblocks anyone would allow to slow their roll being those the medics were able to get into place with fear campaigns of a slip of the wrist poking out eyeballs, horrific infections, and lost eyesight; all of which would draw desperately unwanted Kaminiise attention, and affect their ability to aim properly. Thanks to recently promoted Chief Medic Garrotte, who herself had awesome eyelid tatts, CMs everywhere were able to finally lay down the law about the more dodgy diy tattoo operations some clones had resorted to, and ensure a certain limit on battalion tattooists to the clones who were able to get their hands on actually suitable tattoo guns (one of the designs of which were rumoured to have come from General Skywalker himself, but no one other than the 501 were sure of that, and those vod’e were known to be full of shit), and medic-stream tattoo artists with training enough to be trusted with someone’s delicate and very essential eyelids.

The day Commander Bly announced her gender on the unofficial command chat with smiling selfie fluttering her brand new egg-yolk-yellow eye tats (the motif a stylistic fluttering ribbon that circled around to curve prettily over each cheek bone) was one to be remembered; especially as she seemed to be more thrilled at famed space lesbian General Sekura’s having noticed and complimented her on them, than anything else.

While Stone’s jaig eyes, which had been rightfully earned during the Battle of Geonosis, remained beloved among the GAR, and were widely considered the standard for coolness and badassery as far as most sisters were concerned, each member of the clone brass had their own favourites among their Battalion. Cody had to say his was Lt Sohla’s marigold sunbursts, that she had shyly admitted were inspired by his paint. Captain Rex was a big fan of the ladies in the 501st who had done some interesting designs inspired by their own Commander’s distinctive face and lek markings; while Captain Keeli was pleased to be asked to design several eye tattoos among his trans siblings, all inspired by various types of plumage he’d seen in his travels. Those tattoos were quite popular, his artistic talent visible for all to see on his lovely armour.

The artists all agreed it was a fun challenge to find designs that were unique and interesting, but streamlined in order to be able to get some sort of idea across with as little needle contact with the delicate skin as possible, to ensure such a vital part of their siblings were able to heal swiftly, and remain unimpeded.

As time went on some few sisters still wanted to have dark and blocky designs like their older vod’e, but as time went on it grew more popular to have designs that consisted of just a few lines; enough to communicate an idea and change their eye shape subtly, which could then be added to or filled out with colourful and glittery cosmetics on the rare occasions they could get away with it; generally during shore leave and nights at 79’s

General Information

Full name: Sonia (deadname Sunny) CT-4808, GAR Logistics Officer, Coruscant. In some stories she gets adopted by Quinlan Vos, so then she is Sonia Vos, but not always.

Battalion: 000, Coruscant Logistics.

Age: early CT, of a similar age to Hardcase. Older than Rex. I gave her the number 4808 (even though it was sooooo tempting to give her the boob number, but she has to be an older CT)

gender: female

Species: Concord Dawn Human Variant (or as they say in Mandospace ‘mando’ad haaranovor’birov (born Mandalorian, hiding many [species]) in that they look human, but tend to have a lot going on in their generic soup. And the clones have that going on even more overtly, because the kaminiise pulled stuff out to give the clones different traits.

Clone Varient: CT Command stream Fett standard: Togruta trial stream; Trans female. (She has teef, tapetum lucidum (and great eyesight in low light which is Handy on Coruscant), and species who can see UV spec can see she has some cool stripes maybe she can see on the UV spec….? not sure yet)

Planet of Origin: Kamino

City of Birth: Tipoca City.

Current place of living: Coruscant

Religion: small gods for small people

Mother tongue: the vod’e have no mother. Republic Basic, Republic Sign, limited Mando’a

Dialect: Didi, and Vodo’a; what would later be labelled as ‘Fordo’s dialect’.

Job title: as of deployment, GAR Logistics Distribution Supervisor. She was recruited to be the Coruscant Guard Commaders’ aide about six months into the war. They really deserve to have one aide each (at least), but they technically shouldn’t have any. Thorn restored her status as a Shock Trooper, then promoted her to Major so they could collaborate on acquisitions for the contraband exploits they were both engaging in. Shortly after this, Fox grounded her for getting face tattoos (and talking two much higher ranking vod’e into doing the same), and she became the the office wrangler. Thankfully she was very good at it.

Relationships: She is often touted as having been the first vod to get their heart broken in the GAR. It was so bad the Alphas blacklisted the guy’s name for all of the vod’e. Later, after a few more misses she meets a Noorian (the same near human species as Master Tahl) hairdresser who works in the undercity, and falls deeply in love. Thankfully this time her affection is reciprocated.

On a more platonic level she is best buds with (Commander) Stone and (CMO) Garrote. She is the baby sister of the three CC Commanders, in a similar way Rex is to Cody. They found her later but she’s that little bit younger than them so they have experiences in common and stuff.

She gets adopted by Quinlan Vos in some universes. Because she deserves it.

Likes: bright colours, fashion, aiwahas, tookas, jizz music. She is obsessed with Tholme’s radio show, and in some universes Quinlan likes to joke she convinced him to adopt her so she can be related to Tholme. She loves playing the space keytar. like Tholme.

She loves nice smelling things and hair care, and learning how to mix up hair products. She likes cute, fun things, and many of her siblings carve hair sticks and hair charms out of old armour so she can put pretty things in her hair.

Dislikes: The Senate. Senators. Cheaters. War. Rapists. Slavers. The Chancellor. The Chancellor. The Chancellor. The Chancellor. The Chancellor. The

Childhood: From a fairly early CT batch, she was headed for Captain, but she was too idiosyncratic. she couldn’t keep herself to standard in behaviour or priorities and so she was moved to Logistics. The thing is though she has a solid head for logistics, to the point where she was acquiring extra items like caf, hoth chocolate and stuff to slip into the supplies. Then Thorn came along after he and Fox were posted to Coruscant, and he had a few more friends in high places to go with her friends in low places and so they were able to add fruit juice to make bootleg tihar out of, and thanks to thorn’s contacts in the Medicorps, a safe, consistent supply of hrt for the sisters who couldn’t wait till the end of the war, even if it was a risk of decommissioning when they were suddenly non-Fett Standard.

Teenage years: She met a musician early early on in the war, when they were still sleeping on their floor and building their barracks. Before The Wall was The Wall and before Fordo’s Rule was in place.

He got her into music which was awesome but he tried to cheat with Thorn when he arrived on Coruscant, and she found out he’s cheated on her before that, which broke her heart.

Adulthood: Quinlan teaches her about hair care and she learns how to mix up his ‘mission poo’, which is a powder form of shampoo that can be used dry for the sonic, or mixed into a wet version to create a lather for a water wash.

The recipe was originally distributed by Bly and the 327th, but when Sonia met Quinlan she asked him about the details, and learned about what he uses when he isn’t on mission in hives of scum and villainy. He also teaches her a lot of braiding techniques and other skills, some history and details of different species’ hair traditions and significance, and introduces her to some of his friends in the industry. After the war, she opens up a market stall, but she mostly sells her stuff to her vod’e.

First time mentioned: Only a Moment to Touch Your Skin (very briefly), First Love more solidly.

What is their role: Litte Sister. Older Sister. Trouble Maker. Caf hookup

Pets: I think she will have a tooka? haven’t made them yet though.

Physical Characteristics: she has corrie red tattoos on her eyes. She has an excellent pair of boobs she grew herself that she’s very proud of. Her hair is long, and is kept bleached and coloured. Generally whatever colour she can get for cheap, and it ends up being like lines of colour as she just touches up the regrowth and leaves the other bit as the previous colour to save on dye

Armour Paint/Characteristics: Corrie Red, the hal'cabur is painted to resemble a bustier, with flame detailing. there is a bright pink heart on her ven'cabuur. On the shebs’cabuur is text that reads ‘rape is a warcrime’. The armour is set up in Besbe their Goran’s secret office, because she got caught before she went to run the Komr’k in it.

She refuses to repaint it and now it doesn’t fit. So it stays there, giving morale for the corries that have to keep their pain Corrie Standard due to Fordo’s Rule. Bes says the brush work is spectacular.

Eye colour: Brown

Hair colour: Multicoloured, as detailed above.

Skin colour: Brown

Vices: She got into death sticks for a while but managed to kick it. She is very partial to Cup’s tihar.

Bad habits: non compliance. deviation from standard.

Good habits: She is a good friend, diligent in practising her instruments, and she doesn’t just get stuff for herself, she wants to share the happiness with as many of her siblings as she can in as many ways as she can. She’s very successful, too. Many spikes in morale throughout the GAR actually have her to thank. She is a major source of serotonin for Fox and the Commanders especially, and Garrote too.

Clothing style: bright colours. She likes wearing strappy tops under her undershell to make her feel more feminine, and once she has boobs they help with support. She has lots of little fun details and accessories that make every outfit an adventure.

Health issues: prone to depression and suicidal tendancies.

Tattoos: corrie red flame tatts on her eyelids. I think she has others, but I don’t think I’ve worked out what yet, something from the invisibke ink by Cosmé at the very least.

If she gets adopted by Quinlan, then she gets qukuuf.

Piercings: nipple rings. She thinks Quinlan’s kyber tits are awesome. She can’t get hold of any kyber (probaby) but she does have some pretty pink stones in them that still look fantastic.

Talents: morale lifting. logistics. finding good caf in amounts that would blow the mind and managing to distribute it. getting ‘hunches’ that certain battalions need certain things and sending them (the hunches are actually that she hacks Fox’s datapadds and snoops on how all of her siblings are doing). The most extreme example is when the Novacorps were having a rodent infestation in their supplies and there were baby tookas eager to hunt included in their next delivery.

The logistics vod’e who delivered that one were incredibly smug but tight lipped.
