Padawan - Knight - General
I feel like Nahno would have been so blindly devoted to the Code before the Wars. Having been abandoned on the steps of the Temple of Eedit, to her the Jedi are the generous benefactors, the ones who took her in when her own mother despised her. She’s only just strong enough in the force to make it through training, she never would have been actively sought out as a youngling.
After Desha’s death in the first year of the Clone Wars, and her Trials in the aftermath of that, she began to change that view. I wanted her saber to reflect the change she goes through, going from the ever-obedient Padawan who looked so desparately for approval from the older Jedi, who was strong in the Living Force but forced it all to the side to please the Jedi and her own Master Desha, to the General who valued the sacredness of life over any victory and was willing to behave a little less Jedi-like to ensure as many of her men made it back as possible.
I think, ultimately, she’s going to go Grey before the Clone Wars ends, disgusted with the demands of the Senate on the Jedi, and the Jedi’s refusal to tell them to “kriff off”. She and the 781st lean heavily on the Mandalorian ways that Jango taught the first few batches, and Nahno begins to add more and more armor to herself as the war rages on, as well as picking up the language from the men.
