Why Qui-Gon Jinn Didn't Wear a Padawan Braid

Qui-Gon Jinn doesn’t have a Padawan braid in Tales of the Jedi, despite the fact that he holds the rank of Padawan. What gives? Why does he get to break the rules? The High Republic books have said that Jedi Masters could decide whether or not their Padawans had to wear a braid to signify their rank. It was not a requirement. Dooku was raised at the tail end of the High Republic era, so it’s possible Yoda didn’t require him to wear a braid. Or maybe Yoda did, and Dooku thought when he had a Padawan, he wouldn’t make them do anything. Like a rebellious child. And let’s face it, Dooku and Qui-Gon weren’t known for adhering to the traditions of the Jedi Order. Even without the precedent set by the High Republic, I think Dooku would have been the kind of Jedi to shirk some of the Order’s traditions, and Qui-Gon’s lack of a braid is likely a symbol of exactly that.
