Observation: I am liking Dawn Star a lot more on this run than my first playthrough. She really is made more for a male PC.

Comparison: Dawn Star and Bastila both work really well because of how you can mold them. Watching Dawn Star embrace the Closed Fist or Bastila the Dark Side is supremely satisfying. The timid Dawn Star, who was once shamed by merely existing, realizes that none of these peons who judged her are worth being worried about. Let them judge her or condemn her, she's not going to be a victim any longer. If they insist on causing her pain, they will be the ones who actually feel it. And Bastila, where to even begin? She was never a particularly exemplary Jedi to begin with. She has so much passion built up in her and it only really leaks out when it comes to her mom and her self-righteous devotion to the Jedi. By showing her how to truly live, you're just making her be more honest with herself.
