So a while back I remembered reading(and at this point I don’t remember if it was from a fic, or a headcanon) about padawans having coloured threads wrapped around their braids to signify certain things or events that have happened in their lives.

Wound up coming up with this. No pun intended.  Feel free to use it!

Dark Red – Leadership, Courage.  – Given to those who take their places as born leaders.
Pink –  Friendship, love. – Given to those who’s hearts are open to others.
Brown – Stability – Given to those who are built like rocks in the force.

ORANGE
Dark Orange – Diplomacy – Given to those who have learned the art of lying under duress and keeping ones tongue in check.
