Character Age: 11~ years
Why do you think they can settle in a horror setting if they're under 18?: While Boba is a child, he has already survived many horrors, including the grisly death of his father, attacks by lifeforms both sentient and animal, and the threat of slavery and non-consensual body modification. When faced with these dangerous and frightening circumstances, Boba responds with courage and an indomitable will to not only survive, but to excel.
Canon Abilities/Powers: Martial combat, starship piloting, marksmanship
What is their greatest negative emotion towards an object, situation, or person in their past?: Boba feels an intense hatred and fear of Jedi, especially the Jedi Mace Windu, who decapitated Boba’s father, Jango Fett, during the Battle of Geonosis.
To be clear, Boba hated and feared Jedi well before his father’s death. This is because his father’s adoptive family was wiped out by the Jedi due to a tragic misunderstanding that, in his father’s telling, was nothing less than a cruel and senseless massacre on the part of the Jedi. Not only was Jango’s new family utterly destroyed, but he himself was handed over by the Jedi to the planet’s authorities, who promptly sold the young man into slavery. Growing up on his father’s stories, Boba learned that Jedi were one of the greatest evils in the galaxy: remorseless, dangerous zealots who would take everything you held dear, destroy your life, and tell you it was for your own good.
Unfortunately, that was Boba’s experience of them as well. He watched the Jedi Mace Windu cut down his father on Geonosis, an event that sharpened his hatred of the Jedi into an obsession. He intends to hunt down and kill Windu when he’s strong enough and one day, this grudge will extend to the entire Jedi Order.
How aware are they of this negative emotion, and how do they act on it in canon?: Boba is aware of his hatred and fear but does not see either as negative. To him, both are completely sensible reactions to the Jedi and are right to be acted upon.
At his current canonpoint, the emotion Boba acts upon in response to the Jedi is fear; he doesn’t yet have the prowess or weaponry to do anything else. After he’s mistaken for an anonymous war orphan and taken aboard the Republic ship Candaserri, he comes face-to-face with a Jedi by the name of Glynn-Beti who is stationed there. He feels panic and dread when he sees her, even more so when she is suspicious of him and tries to question his identity. Desperate to escape the interaction, he makes himself cry to guilt her into leaving him alone, a tactic that fortunately works. He spends the rest of his time on the Candaserri avoiding her.
Once he gets a little older, Boba will move on to acting upon his hatred as well. As a young teenager, he attempts to kill Mace Windu at the Jedi Temple after he finds himself on Coruscant. During this attempt, Windu will quickly best Boba, and yet, even after the Jedi brings him down, Boba will continue to scream threats at him, telling Windu that if he lets Boba live, he’ll just continue to come after him, again and again, until one of them is dead. In fact, he is so convincing that Windu very nearly executes him right then and there, not realizing he’s dealing with a child. This act of near-suicidal hatred on Boba’s part is an apt summation of the depths of his hatred for Windu, even more so than his hatred for the Jedi at large.
Even after Windu’s death, as an adult, Boba will continue to hunt Jedi, killing them and keeping their lightsabers as trophies. Currently, Boba isn’t nearly skilled enough to achieve such a feat, but that hatred burns inside him all the same.
What is their greatest virtue?: Boba’s greatest virtue is his determination. As an orphan thrust into a vast and unforgiving galaxy, Boba is no stranger to fear. Yet, when faced with circumstances that would cause most adults to flee or give up, Boba puts everything he has into overcoming them. Much of this trait comes from his father, who taught him to act with honor and courage. It also comes from Boba’s desire to live up to his father’s expectations for him to be a great bounty hunter. In Boba’s eyes, failing those expectations would be worse than death, and thus is extremely motivated to keep fighting, even against seemingly impossible odds. It is this tenacity that has kept him alive for this long and that will one day make him a great bounty hunter.
How aware are they of their virtue, and how do they act on it in canon?: Boba is aware that he is determined to survive and succeed, but just like his negative trait, Boba does not see this virtue as particularly unusual. To him, it is his natural duty as the son of Jango Fett to do everything in his power to live up to his father’s expectations—and his father’s expectations were for Boba to become a peerless, relentless bounty hunter.
At his current canonpoint, he has already displayed this virtue many times. One early example is after the death of his father. While most children his age might be too traumatized to do anything in the face of such loss, Boba pulls himself together through sheer force of will. He finds his father’s body, brings it to a peaceful spot in the Geonosian desert, and gives it a proper burial. Only once his duty as a son is complete does he allow himself to break down and grieve.
Another notable example occurs towards the end of his time aboard the Republic ship Candasseri. The ship is taking Boba, along with numerous other war orphans, to an orphanage on Bespin. While there, Boba forms a close friendship with a non-human child named Gar. As Boba is escaping the ship, Gar pleads with him to stay, telling him that together, they could be family—that they could have parents again and be safe and cared for together. Though Boba feels great sadness at leaving Gar behind, he refuses their offer, unwilling to be swayed from his mission even if it means remaining an orphan for the rest of his life.
Finally, there is the “mission” he receives from Jabba the Hutt. Following his father’s post-humous instructions, Boba finds Jabba on Tatooine and offers his services as a bounty hunter. Not realizing the helmeted stranger is a child, Jabba does indeed grant him an audience—along with a notorious, Mandalorian-hating bounty hunter named Durge. When they meet with Jabba to hear about the job, Durge attacks Boba and unmasks him, revealing him as a child. Amused by this revelation, Jabba assigns Boba the job anyway—with the stipulation that he will be given no weapons and will be hunted by Durge all the while.
While anyone else might have understood Jabba’s cruel joke of an “assignment” for what it was, Boba does not allow himself to be discouraged. He outruns Durge and locates the target, and when he finds himself without any weapon to kill the man, picks up a stone from the ground and tries to attack him with it. He simply does not even stop to consider that what he is attempting might be impossible. He just throws himself at it with everything he has. It is for this reason that Boba’s most prominent virtue is his determination.
