Padme Amidala

Homeworld: Naboo Species: Human Gender: Female Height: 1.65 meters Weapon: royal pistol Vehicle: Naboo Royal (Queen's) Starship, Naboo Royal Cruiser, Naboo yacht, Naboo star skiff Affiliation: Galactic Senate Padmé was born in a small mountain village to humble parents. She was identified early as one of Naboo's best and brightest, and trained accordingly. She served as supervisor of the city of Theed for two years before being elected Queen of Naboo.As Amidala, she had achieved the apex of her education's goal, and to be Queen was the natural fulfillment of her potential and her training. Amidala replaced King Veruna, who abdicated the throne in scandal, embroiled in outworld politics after a rule of 13 years. Amidala was elected in an electronic global election that lasted less than four minutes.The Queen's elaborate gowns and make-up were steeped with historic symbols important to the Naboo. Her white painted face had stylized beauty marks on her cheeks to display symmetry, and the paint that divided her lower lip was called the "scar of remembrance", which marked Naboo's time of suffering before the Great Time of Peace.After stepping down as monarch and becoming Naboo's representative in the Galactic Senate, Amidala was caught up in the turmoil as a Separatist movement spread rapidly throughout the galaxy. Scattered incidents of violence caused many of the more reactionary Senators to sound the alarm of war. Amidala, however, stayed true to her pacifist ideals, traveling throughout her native Chommel sector to urge diplomatic solutions over military buildup. For this, the popular media of the time lambasted her and her unpopular message.a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"Once the Clone Wars erupted, Amidala continued to be an advocate of diplomacy, but her voice was increasingly drowned out by the cannons of war. The Confederacy of Independent Systems -- specifically, founding member Nute Gunray -- placed a colossal bounty on her head due to a deep-rooted personal grudge, and Amidala mostly stayed on Coruscant or Naboo, protected by the ever-loyal Captain Typho. She rarely saw her husband, Anakin Skywalker, who was constantly on the move to the war's most crucial battlefronts. The two maintained a secret correspondence during these trying times.About four months into the war, Jedi Master Yoda was traveling aboard her Naboo yacht when he sensed a disturbance in the Force. The sacred Jedi temple on Ilum was under attack by the Confederacy. Padmé, eager to help, agreed to take Yoda to the frigid planet, though the protective Captain Typho needed additional persuasion to allow her to change heading into a dangerous situation.When Anakin ascended to the rank of Jedi Knight, he secretly gave a gift to Padmé: his severed Padawan braid. In return, Padmé gave Anakin the gift of R2-D2 as his permanent astromech droid. By this time, Padmé had begun to regard C-3PO as part of her Senatorial delegation. To better have him fit in with polished Coruscant society, Threepio was plated with a gleaming golden shell.The Clone Wars made the galaxy an exceedingly dangerous place for a loyalist Senator. Padmé even took to arming her Naboo star skiff, a precaution unthinkable in more tranquil times. Though she stayed mostly on the capital, Padmé's missions of mercy did sometimes take her far from Coruscant's protection. During a visit to Norval II, Mandalorians hired by Darth Sidious sought to kidnap Amidala, but Republic forces were able to ambush them before she was threatened MyGen Profile Generator
