Colette
The 8th Noble
Braze
He wasn't wrong. Noble was a sort of "meaningful name" in that regard, same as people named Smith who hadn't touched a hammer in their life or Potter and knew nothing of clay. Not that Valery or Kahlil weren't noble in terms of the virtue, of course. Kahlil even was noble by blood, so it fit to some extent.
But for, say, Colette who was a stray mutt from a backalley nobody had ever heard of…
"I mean… Yeah, actually. I didn't have a last name." Colette shrugged as she descended down the rocky cliff's edge. "But, the Jedi Order is my group now."
"If I wanted to belong in a happy family, sure, I'd ask Valery too — but I wasn't meant for that, remember? I really just thought it'd be neat to have a last name, and hers was the first one I thought of."
"She was the one who took it as an adoption thing, and… I mean, yeah, I could have said no, but—"
"Look. You get what I mean. Sometimes things happen no matter if you try to or not. Call it the force."
