FPAU - More Wooley stuff! - Basics + Art here!
Despite being younger age wise, heâs actually one of the oldest members of Codyâs Ghost Company, joining a few months before Anakinâs knighthood.
Cody had recently taken over the 212th when Obi-Wan warned him they were taking a particularly young cadet whoâd gotten under Nala Seâs radar for exceptional skill.
Shaak Ti was still running investigations on just what the Kaminoans did to these skilled young clones. All she had so far was she never saw them again, so Shaak rapidly sent out as many as she could to keep them safe, citing Republic Property Laws to do so.
So Wooley, barely 17 in natborn years, gets sent to the 212th because they have a free spot and she has a good feeling about this
Internally, Codyâs panicking.
Externally he tells Obi-Wan itâs no problem. Theyâve kept Padawan Anakin alive this long, they can look after another kid.
Sure Codyâs not as friendly as Bly, but cadets never feared him like Bacara.
Wooley slots in very well, guided under old hands and safe under the Jediâs protection.
And he quickly rises through the ranks, heading off to ARC training a few months after joining. Cody figures this must be what itâs like to have a Padawan. He can see why his General enjoys teaching so much.
Wooley gets his name because of his particularly fluffy hair and the gentleness he somehow keeps through all his experiences. From escaping Kaminoans, becoming a POW, and all kinds of other things.
Instead of turning harsh, he becomes even more warm and friendly, getting even the most frightened civilian or shiny to open up.
By the time we get to Enaya in the FPAU, itâs year 3 of the war and heâs an established member of the 212th, with a role sneaking around as a Shiny, making sure theyâre adjusting well and that thereâs no other problems.
Heâs one of the most excited to have a new Padawan Commander, having only gotten the tail end of Anakinâs, and being a few years younger anyway.
Except Enayaâs coming off the back of a boatload of trauma specifically surrounding armoured men, and if it wasnât for a Senate Mandate demanding all Jedi over 14 become field Commanders, sheâd still be healing at the Temple. Would likely become a Healer herself.
First impressions⊠do not go well.
Itâs corrected soon enough. But Wooley gets his first experience of actually being seen as the elder, experienced clone he is rather than acting like the shiny his age suggests
Codyâs like âyep. This is how I felt when you joined us.â
Having also joined when he was young and off the back of immediate threat to his life, he ends up being a key part of helping Enaya adjust. Relating to her on a more personal level and giving her advice/training.
As well as being someone to talk to, and the voice of reason on occasions the other clones donât understand why certain things are difficult.
