A Galaxy of Love: The Jedi and the Teen Stars
Read the storyReynaldo Oné Pagán-Rivera’s longtime girlfriends are teenage legends in the entertainment industry. Ahsoka Tano from the Star Wars franchise is a young, teenage, 18-year-old Togruta Jedi Padawan who was the apprentice of Anakin Skywalker. Ahsoka's lips are notably prominent and full in the show's animation style. They are typically depicted in a dark purple, dark brown, or brownish-mauve shade. She has dark orange skin accented by symmetrical white facial markings. These markings include two white diamonds on her upper forehead and curved patterns around her eyes and cheeks. These are natural pigmentation (birthmarks) that grow and evolve as she ages. Her eyes are a striking bright blue. Throughout the war, her face matured from a rounder, youthful appearance to a more defined bone structure. Her eyebrows are not visible hair but are represented by the contour of her facial markings. She wears a decorative headpiece made of Akul teeth, which sits flush against her forehead and frames the top of her face. Sydney Gardner from “Max Steel” is depicted as a slender, athletic high school student with a youthful and bright appearance. Her lips are typically depicted with a soft pink or peach-toned natural gloss, maintaining a simple "girl-next-door" look. In the show's animation style, they are moderately full and often curve into a confident, friendly smile. She has expressive, large brown eyes. Her hair is a bright blonde, styled with blunt bangs that cover her forehead and the rest pulled back into a high, swinging ponytail. She has a rounder face with a fair complexion, fitting the show’s stylized CGI aesthetic. Sydney is described as having a skinny or slender build, standing at nearly the same height as Reynaldo. Sydney’s wardrobe is casual and colorful. She most famously wears a white open-front short-sleeved shirt layered over a bright green t-shirt. She is rarely seen without her signature jewelry: Two different necklaces: one made of white beads and another brown cord with a small pendant and multiple colorful bracelets (two on each arm). Sydney practices karate, kung fu, and taekwondo and easily knocks down anyone with some hits. Academically gifted, Sydney has a great knowledge of everything. Other girlfriends are Senator Padmé Amidala, General Luminara Unduli, and Aurra Sing from the Star Wars franchise.
