I'm. I'm thinking about Imperial era hairstyles.
And how wearing braids, particularly thin braids that are noticeably different or separate from the rest of the hair, is seen as a low-key sign of supporting the Jedi. It gets complicated in places where braiding carries heavy cultural weight, like Alderaan or Chalacta...
But baby Leia having that one thin braid hanging down from her bun... It's not a padawan sign, it's not even outside the lines of what Alderaani royals wear.
But it's low-key her parents saying 'we haven't forgotten.'
Imitation padawan braids are a major peacepunk thing in urban areas, maybe?
Low-key I'm imagining the setting from @deniigi's "Cody harasses city government to clean up the streets, this is disgusting and a disappointment, you should be ashamed of yourselves" AU as one where peacepunks are definitely doing the hair thing

Mystra showed him the secrets beneath the veils. The gossamer veils first, draped across the Weave. The delicate veils next, draped across her body. 'Chosen One' she whispered, as she slipped them off completely.
poor gale :'(
- the dialogue is from ea gale's explanation about his folly
- i kinda like that she ended up looking like a mother-of-pearl inlay lacquerware!
- oh this was a subconscious choice, but Gale is sitting in seiza which is a posture for showing respect especially to elders. it's also known to be a painful position to sit in for extended periods of time, which is why it was sometimes used as a method of (morally dubious) punishment. however, experienced people can maintain this posture for much longer. food for thought :-)
- (edit: deleted this point bcs it didn't really make sense + detracted from the art a little;;)

Just a reminder for people cause I haven't seen many peope posting about it:
If you can, please braid your hair today (4/8/24) in honor of Cole Brings Plenty. Cole was a Lakota actor who was assaulted and had his hair cut. Shortly after, he went missing and was later found dead. It's likely that he was murdered, though details haven't been released yet. Rising Hearts has asked that everyone, indigenous or not, wear braids to honor him and remember those that have suffered the same.
If you can't braid your hair, then share posts of others!
Now is also a good time to share some support to indigenous charities, if you're able

Edited on 4/9/24 for clarification, if you want more information see this post
