Summary: No summary needed.
Characters: Allana
I know for a fact that I am a Djo and I'm proud of it, but am a Solo as well?
No, I'm not. I can't take that name.
Then am I Solo in all but name?
Maybe.
Why?
Why is a question deeper than its answer. I should be asking myself how.
Okay, then. How?
I don't know a firm yes or no. It's partially yes because I'm a magnet for trouble, just like the Solo kids.
There's more, isn't there?
Yes, there's more, much more. I've attracted more attackers than all three of the Solo kids combined by the time I was a week old.
Still, that's not all, right?
Correct. I shouldn't be calling these three the 'Solo kids' since one of them is my father.
Then your answer is a definite yes. You are sure that you're a Solo, aren't you?
No, of course not! I don't feel a single blasted connection to that father of mine and it's all his fault.
So there's the other half of that answer, right?
What's the point? They don't even know me.
But they will soon, as you look exactly like Jaina except for the height, don't you think?
Yes, but I'm not one of them. I like my formalities, my title, and my rank, but I can't live up to their stories. I'll never pull off that kamikaze stuff like Anakin because I need to preserve my own life, I'm not the Sword of the Jedi, nor do I want to be, and aspiring to become one with the Force like Jacen will take up time that I do not have. They shaped their fates while mine is set in stone, determined from the day that I was born.
Am I a Solo, though?
Many of my battles in the palace are fought alone, or so they seem, but I've never really fought solo. My mother was always at my side, taking the brunt of the blows, and my grandfather shielded me from the rest.
So I'm not really Solo, aren't I?
I suppose not, but why am I smiling that half-smile? I don't know. I really do not know. Maybe everything except for the given name is superficial, just like my titles. Maybe, just maybe, I am Allana, nothing more.
