1. Qui-Gon was a rebellious/misfit Padawan.

You going to write a story where he's perfect as Obi-Wan and just gets weird as he gets older and more experienced?

2. Qui-Gon was big as a kid.

He's 6'3" as an adult. It's pretty likely that he was big as a child, though I suppose he could have been small and chunky and then went ZOOOOOOM! when he hit puberty.

3. Qui-Gon is fond of animals and nature.

Living Force Jedi, according to the EU. He might just find it soothing, but not actually like to take care of animals or even plants.

4. Qui-Gon takes in wounded animals/strays.

He's fond enough of 'pathetic lifeforms' that Obi-Wan complains about it, in the tones of one who has put up with quite enough of them. I suppose they could be 'pathetic sentient beings', but he's doing habitually doing something that exasperates Obi-Wan.
