Jul. 28th, 2012 10:39 pmI have Scout use some gestures that aren't as universal as shaking her head and nodding. I try to say what they mean in prose and bracket-text as they're used, but I might as well list them here, too.

Jul. 4th, 2012 10:26 amScattered bits from the Jedi Apprentice series, which obviously does not have Scout. Still, scraps of Jedi things are relevant to her.
Also, the Galactic Standard Calendar. There are five days in a week - Primeday, Centaxday, Taungsday, Zhellday, and Benduday. A month is seven weeks (thirty-five days). There are 368 days in a year - ten months, three fete weeks, three holidays. Days, hours, minutes, and seconds are as long as, and fit together in the same ways as Earth and all canons which use Earth calendars.

May. 2nd, 2012 11:25 amI wanted to detail what Scout looks like without just going whooooaaa wall of text!, so I went to the New Improved Character Study Of Doom and stole some of the questions.

Apr. 26th, 2012 08:10 pmScout gets a mention in The Essential Guide to Warfare, in the form of a letter written to her by Ahsoka Tano. Mostly the letter is a chance to exposition dump about the battle, and those parts I didn't transcribe, but a few parts I did.
...Scout's Jedi Master was killed on Geonosis while she stayed behind, just a little too young to go into battle. She spent most of the Clone Wars training furiously trying to be picked by a new one, hating herself for not having been there to maybe save Chankar Kim, longing to get out of the Temple and make a difference among the stars, and increasingly convinced that other Jedi didn't like her and she'd never have the chance. With that in mind, Ahsoka's letter is amazingly thoughtless and kind of cruel.

Hey Scout,
Well, here I am. I just helped kick the Seperatists off a planet called Christophis in Savareen sector, and I have a new Jedi Master called... wait for it... SKYWALKER! Yeah, that one! Turns out he's only four or five years older than me. Might be cute if he didn't have the weight-of-the-galaxy thing on him all the time. (I know, Jedi Code and all. A girl still notices!)
[...] It felt different, being in the middle of a battlefield. Kenobi and Skyguy and the clone commanders are all really military and professional - and tall - but I think they like me. And you have no idea what it's like to see a front-line fleet in orbit, all the big ships up close in the starry blackness. Really cool.
[...] Yeah, I've been on Christophis about an hour, and I have to pull a wall down on some droids to save my master's behind. He wasn't exactly grateful, but I think he just doesn't like it when he feels like he has to rely on other people.
[...]So maybe I didn't need to spend my lunch break dodging blasterfire. Still, I hope Skyguy noticed my moves, and the whole saving-his-life thing.
Anyway, that was Christophsis - terrifying and exciting and exhausting. Now Skyguy and me and a bunch of clones are off on a secret mission, which of course means I can't tell you anything else, sorry. I'll write again soon because I miss the Temple, and I miss you. At least I do when I get time to breathe!
Your friend,
Ahsoka.

Scout is a character from Star Wars. Specifically, from the novel "Yoda: Dark Rendezvous", which came out late in 2004. ...And lesser roles in a couple books that came out later, but I'm not touching those. She's also namedropped in "The Essential Guide to Warfare".
She's well acquainted with Master Yoda, knows other Jedi Council members, and had some interactions with Anakin Skywalker, though she doesn't remember him well now. Scout was fourteen or fifteen by the time Revenge of the Sith happened, and has spent about two years in hiding, on the run, or going to ground on some backwater. Before that she was raised and educated in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.
Because she's spent two years avoiding the Purge, she's extremely reluctant to let anyone know she's a Jedi, either by telling them or otherwise. The Padawan braid might hint at it a little, but it's kept shorter than is customary and she tends to undo it when there are unknowns around. The lightsaber would pretty well prove it, but she's unwilling to bring it out casually.
Bottom line is that any references to Jedi or the Force, Yoda quotes, etc, are going to catch her interest fast. Whether or not she asks about them depends. Early on, Scout wouldn't react at all, but as she gets more established and she starts to lose the lingering suspicion that she'll be handed over to the Empire if it makes contact with Earth - and a lot of references will slow down the process something fierce - she'd become more likely to say something.
Your characters can keep making such references, I wouldn't want to prevent that, and some fourthwalling is inevitable once she's willing to use her lightsaber. But I'd appreciate it if they were kept to a minimum in her presence while she's just starting out. Please leave a comment if you have any questions. Thanks!
