- "I was afraid, before I left Kamino. We don't really know what happens to unusual clones. But my brothers never let me doubt. I wasn't sure if the Jedi would understand."
"The Jedi are all about transcending things. I don't think we can complain if you've transcended gender."
"Transcended gender. We'll work on it, but I like where it's heading." - ―Sister and Anakin Skywalker
"Sister" was the nickname of a trans female clone trooper who served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. In 22 BBY, she participated in a battle alongside High Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi, Clone Marshal Commander CC-2224 "Cody", and Jedi Commander Anakin Skywalker as part of the 7th Sky Corps. After the battle, Sister and Skywalker discussed how she had received her name from her brother troopers in affirmation of her gender identity.
Biography
- "What's your name, trooper?"
"Sister. It's how my brothers tell everyone I belong."
"Belonging is important." - ―Anakin Skywalker and Sister
Sister served under General Obi-Wan Kenobi during the Clone Wars.
A trans female clone trooper nicknamed "Sister"[1] was created on the planet Kamino as a the clone of the human bounty hunter Jango Fett.[2] She served in the Grand Army of the Republic by the start of the Clone Wars—a galaxy-wide conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Prior to leaving Kamino, she was given the nickname of Sister by her brothers, who wished for her to feel a firm sense of belonging and support of her gender identity from them. Though Sister was initially scared of not being welcomed by her Jedi commanding officers due to her gender—which differed from many of her brother troopers—she proved able to work well with her superiors once the Clone Wars began.[1]
In 22 BBY,[4] Sister participated in a battle on a rocky planet while serving under[1] High Jedi General[5] Obi-Wan Kenobi,[1] Clone Marshal Commander[5] CC-2224 "Cody", and Jedi Commander Anakin Skywalker as part of[1] the 7th Sky Corps.[3] Saddened by the deaths resulting from the battle, Sister arranged the helmets of her fallen comrades beneath a tree as a memorial. When asked by Skywalker, she explained the origins of her name and the heavy support of her gender identity amongst her brothers. Intrigued, the Padawan told her about the Jedi belief of rising above things, comparing it to Sister transcending the concepts of gender that she felt existed among clones. As both walked towards Kenobi's location for a rendezvous, she agreed with the sentiment of his statement.[1]
Personality and traits
- "We leave our brothers' helmets where they fall."
- ―Sister to Anakin Skywalker
As a cloned individual, Sister[1] was 1.83 meters tall and had tan skin.[2] She had long, dark hair that she styled in braids. By the time she served under Kenobi, Sister considered herself a loyal Republic trooper. She grieved her brothers when they fell in battle, opting to arrange their helmets in a respectful way as a monument to remember them. Though initially nervous about embracing her femininity in front of her commanding officers, Sister gained confidence in her gender identity through the support of her brothers and later from the acceptance of the Jedi she served under.[1]
Equipment
While in battle, Sister wore clone trooper armor.[1]
Behind the scenes
- "Sister doesn't have a huge part in the book, so we didn't want to use her existence as promo. I made her to be shared, not just with readers, but with other SW writers as well."
- ―Author E. K. Johnston, on Sister
Author E. K. Johnston's design of Sister, with the commission completed by Uzuri Art.
"Sister" appeared in Queen's Hope, a young-adult novel written by E. K. Johnston.[1] The novel was initially released on January 25, 2022 in German,[7] and was later published on April 5 of the same year in English.[8]
On March 8, 2022, Johnston shared a drawing of Clone Commander CC-1771 "Sticks" to announce the beginning of an art contest she was hosting on Twitter. Following this, the author revealed her design for Sister in a reply to Sticks' artwork and included an art commission of her done by Uzuri Art.[6] In the image, Sister is depicted with Phase II clone trooper armor that was painted light blue and pink[9] in the shades of the transgender flag.[10] The commission also showed Sister with braided dark brown hair, parts of which were dyed pink, and a DC-15A blaster rifle.[9] Johnston remarked that Sister was created to be shared with readers and other Star Wars writers, but that due to her limited role in Queen's Hope, would not be used in the novel's promotional materials.[6]
