One month of silence from Kiki was enough to have Hahkin waking up in the middle of the night, stress sharply cutting her sleep in half.

Two more weeks and Hahkin contemplated asking her Master where Kiki and her own master were. The two girls always tried to send correspondence to one another. Hahkin had never heard of a mission taking so long.

Two months met Hahkin with continued silence as a well as a deeper, burgeoning fear that she had never faced before. It clung to her shoulders like a cloak; her master began prompting her into more meditation sessions. When he looked at her, there was the sharp glint of worry in his eyes.

Three months in, Hahkin began to think Kiki was dead. Her master told her that, considering the strength of their bond, she would have sensed as much. Hahkin thought that no bond would overpower how weak in the Force she was. Kiki was probably dead and the Force, for all it's mercies and blessings, could not break through her weakness long enough to tell her about it.

Hahkin achieved the strangest calm at three months and two weeks. Kiki was smart, capable. Despite how awful her master could be, she'd clearly learned a lot from him, especially when it came to survival. She was alive. Maybe. Hopefully. Hahkin would have changed religions if it meant getting her the answer she needed.

None of this earned Hahkin back the hours she'd lost laying awake at night, fearing the worst. The peace she attained was short-lived. The bed next to hers was empty, as unnatural as the day starting with moonlight and the sun coming up to mark the end.

Hahkin asked the council where Kiki was. She felt childish for it, shrinking despite her height before the semi-circle of the most powerful Jedi in the order at that time. She couldn't believe they'd all convened just to hear her ask "Is Kiki okay?"

They said they didn't know. They'd lost contact weeks ago. And even if they did, they wouldn't have been able to tell her because it was a sensitive mission.

Three months, three weeks. Hahkin wonders if she'll ever see Kiki again.

Four months. Hahkin had been moving through her Padawanship as though one ear were plugged and left her off balance--the other was tuned to any potential news about Kiki.

Her wish was granted. Kiki arrived back at the Temple that same week, thin and sober and followed by a grand tale of slave revolutions. She'd been undercover in the mines of a distant planet for four months straight. The horrors she witnessed and likely suffered were locked in a box and shoved away somewhere deep.

She hardly smiled when she saw Hahkin. The Force relayed back and forth between them: hope and relief on one end and sheer exhaustion and old pain on the other.

Resolution for both. Hahkin would always stick by her side. Kiki would never speak to her Master again.

Hahkin worried that each day of those four months took something from Kiki, wearing her down until she was nothing but a hollowed-out shell of a newly graduated Knight. Kiki was familiar, but not in a way that comforted Hahkin.

The familiarity grew strength in a sick way: Kiki, on her bed in their room, sobbing into Hahkins lap, utterly undone. She looked strange without her Padawan braid. Hahkin didn't have any friends that were Knights.

But she'd been friends with Kiki since they were small. She'd seen and heard more from Kiki than anyone else had. In this, Hahkin knew what to do when her grief heaved and unspooled from her, like a battered fabric torn apart. She bent low, laid an arm over her friend, and held her.

You mentioned that Hahkin’s master was a cool guy. Can you tell us more about him?

Yeah! Hahkins master gives me very much Skater/surfer California guy vibes. He's solid as a rock, he's a Zeltron, hes got an even temperament and he's very encouraging. Always positive. I only started adding personality details recently dbsmsnskdnd

He takes on Hahkin as a Padawan despite the ""warnings"" that she's weak in the Force. Hm I don't have a name but I do have that he hates Kikis master. He hates him.

In a server I'm in I said this

[clonehub]

Listen ever since you revealed Hahkin I have been thinking about her on a loop. Rotating her in my mind if you will. I love how she loves Kiki, and Kiki loves her back, but if I'm interpreting their relationship correctly, Kiki isn't in love with her, the way Hahkin is. And Hahkin is never going to bring it up, because Kiki is happy with Jax. I also love the idea of her constantly moving, constantly reaching out and interacting with the world-- the parts not necessarily good for a monk. (1/2)

I love that to the other Jedi, so many of them are focused on being the 'luminous beings' but Hahkin interacts with the 'crude matter' on a daily, regular basis. She is a real person, with vices and virtues and flaws, and not just a stone statue the way the Order tried to be in later years before its fall. But at the same time, Hahkin is a Jedi. She has passed every test put before her, and she's part of the main corps. She is everything they said she could not be, and she is more besides. (2/2)

omg...omg an analysis about one of my OCs? yo i appreciate this so much, while I'd been aware that she was more grounded in a way, it ever occurred to me that she was so because she's the "Crude matter" side of things. Compaired to Hahkin, Kiki (from Hahkins POV) is the "luminous being"--she's strong in the Force, she can wield it almost however she wants. she's always doing something grand, something magnificent--whether for the war or outside the war or even in personality .

i dont want hahkin to put kiki on a pedestal, but you know how sometimes you have a friend that almost exists beyond your comprehension? they're cool, theyre epic, and so you look up p to them. kind of like "how did i manage to be friends with this person"? thats hahkin @ kiki. she loves her dearly. although hahkin never exploring those feelings or confiding them to kiki is more a result of her Jedi training--Jax doesn't come into the picture years later, when Hahkin is unfortunately already dead. Hahkin respects where their friendship is now. She likes that they can be as close as they are. She's still following the "no attachment'" rule of the Jedi (at least, the TCW interpretation of the rule) but in all honesty, if Hahkin and kiki were to start a relationship, I think neither would struggle with letting the other person go if they had to, at least not for the majority of the war. If they were to break up, they'd still love each other very much. But yes, the slight romantic feelings Hahkin has for Kiki are unrequited.

(if Hahkin were to die, well then that would be a different story altogether)

But Hahkin looks up to Kiki because Kiki always believed in her, right from day one. She didn't care that Hahkin was weak in the Force, she didn't care that Hahkin wasn't as academically smart and for a while was kind of a slow kid. Kiki didn't care about any of that, and she frankly didn't notice the difference in their Force abilities in terms of strength--Hahkin couldn't form a deep connection with it, and Kiki couldn't comfortably connect with it. Hahkin's persistence inspired Kiki. They've always pushed each other.

And for that, Hahkin was ready to go wherever Kiki went, up to and including leaving the Order entirely. But she left too late and ended up getting killed in Order 66.

saw this dress on twitter and had to draw her in it

[clonehub]

i should draw her more

[clonehub]

sorry im kinda obsessed w her

[clonehub]

let us now consider the moment Kiki sees Hahkin and realizes it's really her, in the flesh after Order 66.

Hahkin's been trying to kill Jax. She thinks Jax is a danger to Kiki because she doesn't know about the chips and doesn't know Jax is safe. Kiki obviously puts herself between Jax and Hahkin and activates her lightsaber, ready to face off.

Hahkin pulls off her hood, then her mask. Kiki doesn't recognize her, not until Hahkin speaks and just says her name.

Then the Force opens, lets EVERYTHING in. Hahkin's Force signature, her small but constant presence that Kiki has known since they were six and seven years old. All the memories they shared, their most intimate moments.

Kiki's still got her lightsaber activated, but she's wide-eyed with shock and confusion. Her mind's completely ground to a halt and the only thought in her head is "I don't understand". Over and over and over. KIki felt Hahkin die. Kiki held a funeral for her. She moved on.

Hahkin steps down from the ledge she was on and carefully approaches Kiki, never once breaking eye contact. Hahkin puts her hand over Kiki's and deactivates her lightsaber. Then she lays a hand on Kiki's face, saying "it's me".

Once again: "I don't understand." Kiki almost believe it's her. It's got to be a trick of some kind. Maybe her use of the Dark Side of the Force is catching up to her. Maybe resisting the Force's touch is putting hallucinations in her head.

"It's me, Kiki. I'm alive."

I don't know if they hug at this point or if Jax interrupts them. I think Kiki's able to gather her wits enough to explain that Jax isn't going to hurt her, he's got his chip out, and they should all go. Notably, Kiki doesn't think twice about inviting Hahkin back to her home or being in close quarters with her on the ship.

To jax's credit he's actually taking everything in stride, despite the attempted killing bit. Kiki and Jax are in the cockpit and their way back and Hahkin is in another room because it's clear Kiki needs time to process the shock of it. Jax says she should go talk to Hahkin. Kiki says "I'm scared it's not really her".

"Go talk to her, Kiki."

"And say what?"

"Whatever needs to be said. Just go."

So Kiki shuffles off to the quarters they gave Hahkin. She's sitting on the bed. Kiki's still standing and just being awkward, but she feels bad because she knows Hahkin was expecting a more warm and welcome response than what Kiki gave her.

Hahkin pulls her shirt off to change it (it's nasty and gross) and reveals a series of blaster scars on her chest and stomach. There's one on her chest, almost dead center. Kiki's eyes fixate on it, and she reaches out and touches it. It's real. Hahkin says something to the effect of "That one almost got me, but I pulled through."

Kiki: I felt you die

Hahkin: I did die. For three minutes and thirteen seconds, I was phsyiologically dead. After they shot me, they put my body in a tent. The med droid got to me, did CPR and, when my life signs all faded away, shocked my heart. I came back.

Kiki: I didnt feel you come back.

Hahkin: but you feel me now, don't you?

Kiki does -- bright and alive. She pulls Hahkin in for a hug and finally accepts that her best friend survived.

Learning about your ocs has been fun! I was wondering if you have name origins for the clones?

OH BOY anon you've accessed the CHCU (clonehub cinematic universe) DEEP LORE

Waaaaay early in development, around the time that I a) watched less anime and b) started getting more in tune with being Igbo, I'd designed the clone's names to have short and long forms. Bliz would be "Bliz" for short, but then something else as a "full name" that sounded Igbo (to me, at least). Everyone on CS was like this. Kiki would have named them as part of a long and tricky process for all of them becoming "family".

However, then I had another perspective shift and I thought to myself, "Well, first of all coding them as such wouldn't work, secondable a Jedi naming like seven different clones? No." I wanted them all to have more of a say in their names, their origins, and their personal meanings, so that concept was quickly dropped.

Marik chose his name because it sounded nice to him. Edger as well. Ratchet used to be a noisemaker and thus he was dubbed that by his old squad in the 501st, but his personality's changed quite a bit. Also this was before "ratchet" became a classist and misogynistic and generally anti-Black term in popular language lmao.

I wanted some of their names to sound less "generic" or noun-based the way that clones' names in canon do (hardcase, kickback, etc). Hence, again, Marik, Edger, Ratchet, and Cord.

Actually Cord's name came about because when s1e16 of the clone wars was airing and they had the mystery clone (slick), my brother and I didn't know what his name was (obviously). So we dubbed him Cord until we got a name. And now I'm using it for my guy.

In-universe, Ridge chose his name because he thought it sounded tough. He was the runt of his squad, he was slow, he was picked on, and he was being abused by the drill sergeant in charge of their cohort. He wanted a "leave me alone" name, but him being your typical child, what sounded Tough and Scary to him back them is really just a normal name. I think at some point he also would have been named Ridge because he had a mohawk, also so he could look tough. Now though he just has an undercut (though in my head I do still sometimes see the mohawk).

Once upon a time, "Bliz" was short for "Blizzard", but I like how just Bliz sounds. Often, peope misread it as "blitz". He, Brucer, and Bimmie had an alliteration thing going on that I liked.

See now Jax is special because his name is deliberately generic. He chose it because it sounded decent as a name. There wasn't any emotional journey towards it like with Ridge, and there wasn't a quirky backstory to it like with Cord. Jax is Jax because Jax is normie, it's run of the mill, it's boring. Jax as a character is meant to be the Most Average clone you can imagine, besides the crippling anxiety and baldness. He's a nobody, he thinks he's nothing, he hardly even thinks he's a person worthy of desires, and he's got a big 'ol crush on Kiki. In some ways, some of the critiques people in his life have of his "runaway loyalties/feelings" is along the lines of "Who do you think you are? You're not special".

Kiki's name didn't use to be Nkerinna. That I've made closer to sounding Igbo as I made Verocia based more on Igboland than some vaguely anime-inspired Japanese inspiration (don't shoot me I was 12 and heavily into Naruto). Her original last name was Jorani, not Ogbode. I'd look up what her original name was, but fanfiction dot net is down right now lmao.

Nirisa's name hasn't changed. Her name means sunset. Kiki's means dawn. Nirisa is the older one, yes, but....idk I like Kiki's name meaning "dawn".

Sunlaou Cloen is named that because I thin it sounds nice and I like "Soni" (sunny) as a nickname. Hahkin is Hahkin because I like the sound. Persha-Ro (her last name) is like that because I wanted a hyphenation.

In general though, I try to differentiate the way I name my OCs from typical star wars conventions because Star Wars names can be...boring. Women's names are often vowel-heavy and sound typically feminine in a Western romance language way. The men's names get to have heavier consonants, but then they also get to be weirder. But most often, Star Wars names can be really monosyllabic. Luke. Han. Poe. Finn. Rey. Ben. PT and some OT names have a distinct formation to them that the ST ones lack.

Over the years, I've seen names be 2-syllable first names and 1-syllable last names, or vice-versa, and they won't be very different from one another. This is why my OCs will sometimes have longer names, and the female characters especially will get names that don't sound as typically feminine (Hahkin, Nkerina, Tysolis, Iriyunan, etc.). My one exception is As'adari, but I named her that specifically because it's a girly name for a very unfeminine, aggressive, and brutish female character.

Then you have Pailenam, Paradise, Okunna, Chiadi, Danda, Yuza, etc. And despite my best efforts, the letter A is still clearly very popular in my names lmao.
