top 4 fave characters change my mind
[ID: Venn Diagram with one circle titled “Tried to kill Din at least once” and the other titled “Will babysit his child”. Under “Tried to kill him at least once” are pictures of Moff Gideon and Xi’an, while Frog Lady, Omera, and Peli are under “Will babysit his child”. The “both” category has the most people, with Mayfeld, Fennec, Boba Fett, Greef Karga, Cara, and Ahsoka. End ID.]
you know my favorite thing about peli? she’s basically the only person who treats din the same way she would if he weren’t mandalorian.
she’s not afraid of him, not because she’s confident she could defend herself, but because she doesn’t assume she’ll need to. she doesn’t pester him with questions about his helmet because she doesn’t think making personal religious decisions is weird. she thinks of him as a PERSON with a PERSONALITY and an actual LIFE beyond the mandalorian bounty hunter stereotype.
like. pretty much everyone gets this “oh crap it’s a mandalorian” face the moment they see din and make a bunch of assumptions about who he is and what he wants. even if they’re not overtly racist and xenophobic, they’re still obviously uncomfortable and weirded out by his helmet. but peli? peli has zero reaction to seeing a mandalorian in her hangar. she's one of the few, if any, people who don’t initially think of din as The Other. it’s nice to see.
“Rain comes fast on Tatooine, without a cloud in the sky, she’ll release everything she has. I dont know when the tradition started, but eventually, the people followed suit. Life is hard here, but when it rains, for those few moments, we scream to the stars and then get back to living.”

Rain and Life on Tatooine bc I like making up Tatooine culture stuff. Another bit - you can always tell when you start thinking of Tatooine has home - cus when it rains it just clicks.
