The final reason I think the young age is not the best idea, is mainly as Sith Players might struggle to interact with your pc. Sish, Rtron's PC, is a cruel, vicious individual and wouldn't have an issue tearing, scarring, or worse to your Padawan. However, while I can't say for the Player, I think Rtron might have slight worries about it or concerns interacting with your PC with Sish. Might even go to strong lengths not to which could be seen as it being personally against you, something not true.
Yes, I would be distinctly uncomfortable with having Sish do that to a nine year old. He would, and has with his trademarked grin, without batting an eye. But yes Sish would be convinced through various IC reasons not to meet nine year olds.
