Prologue
My name is Brynn-Te Jinn. I am the daughter of Qui-Gon Jinn. Unlike all other Jedi, I was raised by my father (when he was not away on missions) at the Jedi Temple. I believe I was an experiment of sorts. Master Yoda had had visions showing jedi caring for young that appeared to be their own and had convinced the rest of the counsel to allow me to remain with my father. The main difference between myself and the other younglings was that I went home to my father at the end of the day and not to the shared youngling quarters.
I was chosen as a padawan at the age of eleven. Even then, I continued to share quarters with my father instead of with my master, which was the norm. My father had also chosen a padawan, only days before I was chosen by Master Bondara. He and his padawan were away on what seemed like an endless string of missions at first. It wasn't until they were back at the temple for and extended period of time that I really had to learn how to live my dual life of padawan and daughter.
The presence of my father's student, Obi-Wan Kenobi, made things different as well. Not only was I learning to cope with my life as a padawan, I had to get used to having an annoying boy around. I liken it to having a brother, although I'm not entirely sure that is correct……
"Katherine Kenobi, get your butt back here!" Sometimes I don't even recognize my own voice anymore.
"But…..I didn't do….." Her voice is beginning to sound more and more like my own.
"Come here, young one. Lying is not very becoming of a Jedi. Your father will be back shortly, and I don't think he'll appreciate the mess."
"Yes, mother." …..
I used to think being a padawan was the hardest thing ever. Then I became a Jedi Knight. As if that wasn't hard enough, I became a wife and mother of three. Sometimes I wonder how I got here. I'm sure you are wondering just that, since the terms Jedi, marriage, and children don't usually go together. But, then again, not much about me has really 'kept with the code'.
Here is the story of how I became the wife of a Jedi Master, the mother of two rather gifted children, and a Master myself.
