Padawan braid

The Padawan braid^[1] was a symbol worn in the hair^[2] or head^[3] that marked the rank of a Jedi Padawan. When a Padawan was declared a Jedi Knight after passing the trials, the braid was shed. If a Padawan was instead expelled from the Jedi Order, the braid was ripped off, as what happened to Ahsoka Tano.^[1]

The braid was composed of a long strand of intricately woven hair typically worn across the right shoulder. In the case of Padawans who were of a non-human species, alternatives such as silka beads were worn instead.^[4]
