Growing as a Jedi Caedyn has grown into an Intelligent, Imaginative and Charismatic padawan, embracing his heritage and his Short stature to become very Agile. He is also extremely Stubborn, and a life of training and learning about the greater galaxy in relative safety has left him Excitable and somewhat Naive about said galaxy.

History
When he was born Caedyn at first only stood out in a single way. He was the runt of the litter. He was the small one, and it was not until several months later that what made him truly unique to his siblings manifested. His family knew well what this was, and while they knew many Cathar had gone on to become great and wise Jedi his family was loathe to simply give him away. Caedyn lived with his family until he was four years old, at which point a Jedi master participated in a routine check of Republic worlds and discovered him. After many hours of talking, Caedyn's family ultimately decided that rather than doom him to suffer from later powers.

Initially Caedyn suffered from his late start to training. Cathar societal values, as well as memories of his family, plagued his training and early life with the Jedi. A stubborn nature and the temper of a 4 year old did not help either. Caedyn proved an excellent test of patience to many Jedi teachers, to the point where some wondered if he would even be a fit or if he would moved to a different branch of the Jedi. The master who found him however refused to allow this and began to teach him for personally. They adjusted teaching methods to the spirited youngster and figured out how best to teach Caedyn.

Since then Caedyn has grown and developed as both a Jedi and a person. He is strong in the force, working hard to understand it and allow it to flow through him as he has been told it should despite struggling to do so. He has a love and talent for music and instruments that in a different life might have allowed him a different profession. While he strives to advance in his training and loves the family that has raised him for so long, he is troubled by the thought that his attachment to his former family may be what disrupts his meditation and holds him back.
