Post-Selection

I'd faced the Selection, I wore the war paint of a Dathomirian
Red Symbolizes war, blood, strength, energy, power and success in war paint but might also symbolize happiness and beauty in face paint
Black was perceived as a "living" color and worn on the face to prepare for war. Very aggressive color. Black meant strength. It might also indicated that the wearer was a powerful warrior who had proved himself in battle. Black was also used to symbolize victory and might be applied before returning home to the camp
White Symbolizes mourning. White was also the color of peace when it was used as face paint.
Blue Symbolizes wisdom, confidence
Yellow Symbolizes the color of death. Yellow also indicated that the wearer was heroic, had led a good life and was willing to fight to the death. It also symbolised intellect
Green Symbolizes endurance. Green is associated with harmony and is a great healing power and believed to improve vision
"Firmus didn't kill us during the Selection but he could have. . ." Naarias said, giving me a brief, respectful bow. 
"A Jedi" I paused, then stood tall and faced Mother Kurzhal Vyzhara and Alcina Beillane before continuing, using the Dathomirian term. "A Jai. . .  only kills where there is no other option. Every life lost diminishes us all."
"Wise words from a wise man. He's so like his father," I heard. I turned and the Force Ghost of my mother was there behind me. 
"Mum. . ."
"Firmus, I love you baby. Your father sends his love. I'm proud of you. From a Coruscanti peasant, to an officer in the Imperial Navy, to a Dathomirian. . ."
"My heart's here, Mum." I drew Avaria in beside me and kissed her, tenderly, passionately. "Mitawa cante."
"Welcome to the family, Avaria."
Alcina and my mother shared a smile. If it were possible for them to clasp hands and hug, I'm sure they would have. 
"Firmus hasn't been a Dathomirian name. . . until now."
"I'm home," I laughed.
