Did I ever tell you that when I did that Star Wars short story, I was told I couldn't use "pony tail" to describe someone's hair because we coudln't be sure that ponies exist in Star Wars????
I changed it to "a smart braid" which is NOT THE SAME THING and TOTALLY CHANGES THE VIBE OF THE CHARACTER but I didn't know what else to DO
