Obi-Wan took confidence.
Obi-Wan had never thought of himself as bold or assertive, or even daring. He was just...Obi-Wan. Simple and kind Obi-Wan.
His Master, on the other hand, was very different. Who else could defy the Council, ignore orders, and still be one of the most revered in the Temple? Who took a risk on every single being he met, on the smallest of life forms? Qui-Gon did.
And throughout Obi-Wan's apprenticeship, he learned much from his Master. But the most important thing he learned was to be confident. Now, a respected Master himself, chasing after his own troublesome student, he had the confidence to do anything.
After all, who else could end a war without firing a shot? Who could settle an argument with nothing more than his words? Who could become a teacher to the most headstrong youngling in Temple history? Obi-Wan.
And it was all thanks to Qui-Gon.
Anakin took power.
Anakin was a black sheep. Since he had been rescued by the Jedi he had been told he was destined for greatness. The Chosen One, they called him. But he had not been raised in the Temple. He had the Force, but controlling it, channeling it? He had no idea. So while the children his age practiced with sabres and fighting, Anakin was learning how to swim and meditate. But he was always fighting, fighting to be better.
He wanted to be like Obi-Wan, his Master. Obi-Wan was powerful and wise and incredibly skilled. He used the Force in ways Anakin could only dream of.
But more than dream, he worked. He worked harder and harder, learning everything he could from his Master. In the end, Anakin became a more powerful Knight than Obi-Wan ever thought he would.
This turned out to be a very bad thing.
Ahsoka took will.
Ahsoka knew, whenever she saw that look on Anakin's face, that things were about to get bad. Her Master was creative, smart, too smart for his own good. It often got them into trouble. Especially now.
Anakin didn't believe in no-win scenarios. He believed in winning, in doing more, in overcoming all obstacles no matter the cost.
It was kind of nerve wracking.
But she admired it. Admired his strength, his perseverance, his drive to keep going and never give up. He taught her that in order to succeed, in order to do better, you must always try. You must try and keep trying. "Snips, if you fail, just get back up. I'll always be here to help you."
Well, that wasn't exactly true, but Ahsoka had learned a lot about will from her Master, about strength and courage.
Her Master was not always there for her, but his lessons were.
