Shy
You'd never think it to look at me now, but I was always shy as a child. I would hide behind the folds of my father's robes, or lag behind my mother whenever they took me to visit people and places outside my home or my aunt and uncle's. Whether it was the Jedi Temple, or Starfighter Command, or onboard the Wild Karrde, I would prefer to observe, to be the child seen, but not heard.
The grown-ups would try and engage me, they would bend down and smile, offer me candy, but I would only give them my customary shy little smile, before withdrawing, back into the warm and safe sanctuary my parents' shadow provided.
It wasn't until one time, when I was quietly playing inside the cockpit of my father's X-Wing and suddenly looked up to find him nowhere to be seen, replaced by a man with laughing brown eyes who had lifted me out and introduced me to a big, stuffed Ewok named Lieutenant Kettch, that I found my first friend.
A/N: This is not to take away anything from Ben's mischievousness. He was only shy in front of people outside his family ;)
