CHARACTER
Character Name: Padmé Naberrie Amidala Skywalker
Character Age: Roughly 27-30 (time is weird in SW)
Canon: Star Wars
Canon Point: At her death
History: Padmé’s Wookieepedia Entry
Personality: Beautiful, compassionate, brave, strong-willed, loving, forgiving, dutiful, intelligent, humble, decisive—these are all qualities that Padmé has in spades, but they barely scratch the surface of whom she really is. A lot of Padmé’s motivations stem from her upbringing on the pacifist planet of Naboo. At a very young age, she was enrolled in the Legislative Youth Program where she and other children were taught the basics of government for both Naboo and the Republic.
Her humility has allowed all of her positive qualities, coupled with the great duty she feels towards the people of Naboo and the Republic at large, to not go to her head. She was elected as Queen of Naboo at the age of fourteen, not the youngest ruler, but she later states that she felt that she was too young for the position. However, she was so pivotal in her leadership that she was reelected and there was talk of the constitution of Naboo to be amended so that she could stay in her position. Part of this would be the dedication to her people that she made obvious on more than one occasion during her ruling, including the risks she took during the events of The Phantom Menace to free her planet from the grasp of the Trade Federation. Her popularity and dedication were what made the next queen of Naboo call upon her to serve their people in the Senate.
Because of this auspicious start, Padmé almost has two personalities. There is the professionally cool queen and Senator Amidala of Naboo. Then there is the warm, affectionate woman, Padmé. When she is alone with those she can trust, which is an appallingly small number, Padmé smiles and laughs. She teases and flirts almost. She’s open about her background and personal history with Anakin, which is another story altogether.
No matter where she is, her first thought when dealing with people is to treat them like equals. Things like slavery, prejudice for non-humans, classism are truly appalling to her. Her handmaidens and flight crews are as much friends and colleagues as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Bail Organa of Alderaan, and the Gungan Jar Jar Binks. She believes completely and whole-heartedly in democracy and diplomacy and sees equality and freedom as the two highest things that can be reached by any person so long as it doesn’t impinge on the rights of someone else. She is a true child of the Republic.
It’s why when she is finally brought to see the many strangleholds that Palpatine has placed upon the peoples of the Republic that she takes it personally. Through the help of Senators Mon Mothma and Bail Organa, Padmé is inducted into a committee to take a look at the Supreme Chancellor’s behaviours and to check the level of power he’d amassed in the time during the Clone Wars.
While she let duty and her protectiveness of others lead her in her professional life, her personal life was sparse until Anakin Skywalker reappeared. Having met him on the planet of Tatooine as a young boy of nine and a slave, Padmé dismissed his declaration that they would be married as the wishful thinking of a child laying claim to a toy since she was just fourteen herself. Once Qui-Gon Jinn (Obi-Wan Kenobi’s master) freed the boy, Sabé—in her disguise as decoy Amidala—allowed Anakin to stay with her party and Padmé then became good friends with him, keeping him safe as she could during their trip to Coruscant and then back to Naboo. Once her world was free, she didn’t see him again until ten years had passed and she was a woman of twenty-four and serving as Naboo’s Senator and he was Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Padawan.
The attraction between them was instantaneous, but Padmé’s duty came before even her own safety and heart. When Anakin was appointed as her personal bodyguard back on Naboo after two assassination attempts, she tried to befriend him once more. But the more time they spent together, the more open she became with him and the more she found it difficult to fight her attraction. It culminated in a kiss that she rebuked herself over, telling him it never should have happened and when he brought up the depth of his own feelings, she told him that what he was asking—for them to be together—could never happen. She couldn’t live a lie.
However, when Anakin needed her, she followed him to Tatooine to find his mother and then consoled him upon her death, listening and not judging him for what he did to the tribe of Tuskan Raiders responsible for Shmi Skywalker’s death. And then again when Obi-Wan Kenobi was captured on Geonossa, she was the one who said that they were going to save their friend. When they themselves were captured, she admitted that she was desperately in love with Anakin as well and that even though they were facing death, she wouldn’t take it back. Once they were safe again, she and Anakin were married on Naboo in secret.
Using the pins that held up her elaborate hair, Padme was able to free herself and then climbed the pillar she’d been tied to in order to fight the monster that was attacking the area she’d just been. It’s not the first time she acts bravely, nor is it the last. She was among the fighters in her palace in Theed during the operation to end the occupation by the Trade Federation. When she was thrown from the transport ship during its attack, she got up, dusted herself off, gathered up whatever clones were around and led them on to find more of Dooku’s droids to stop. She also serves as a spy and ambassador in many sticky situations during the Clone Wars, both with and without assistance from the Jedi in her acquaintance and other politicians (most notably being Bail Organa, Senator Satine, and Senator Onaconda Farr of Rhodia).
That is not to say that Padmé was untouched by overwhelming grief. In the last year of her life, she vacillated between extreme joy of her pregnancy with Anakin’s child(ren) and fear of his death during the wartime efforts. Much of her time outside of attending committee meetings and attending the Senate was spent pacing and worrying over her husband and Obi-Wan and how the Republic would fare when all of this was over. Not only that, but she had to worry about Anakin’s growing obsession with trying to keep her safe, to prevent her death during childbirth, and the lengths that he was slowly beginning to go to so that he had peace of mind. During the elimination of the Jedi, Padmé nearly made herself sick with worry while Anakin was gone, only able to breathe once she saw that he was safe.
However, upon learning the truth of Anakin’s Fall from Obi-Wan and following him to Mustafar to see him for herself, Darth Vader literally broke her heart. After being Force choked by her husband, the father of her children, Padmé’s grief stole her will to live. She survived long enough to give birth to Luke and Leia, name them, and then give Obi-Wan one last plea for Anakin’s life, knowing that he still had good inside of him because she knew her husband better than anyone else.
While the last year of her life seems to be a contrast to the rest so much, it is in fact just a continuation of what Padmé originally set out to do. She still served the people of Naboo to the best of her ability. She tried to keep Palpatine from taking over with the help of other Senators, to maintain the freedoms that they’d enjoyed for over 1000 years. She put her trust in those she loved and cared for, even if it ended up poorly for her, she knew that in the end their hearts were still good. She didn’t shrink from uncomfortable or scary situations. Instead, she faced them head-on with her stubborn will and a belief that democracy would return to the galaxy because it worked when it was given half a chance.
Inventory: Nothing
Abilities: Padmé is not Force Sensitive, being just a basic human. What skills she has are learned through her early training in the Legislative Youth Program on Naboo, her tenure as Queen of Naboo and then as Senator of said planet. She is smart, quick-witted, fearless, and a good shot with a blaster. She knows at least three different language aside from Common, none that anyone not from her galaxy would understand however
Flaws: Padmé is impetuous. She has a temper. She is stubborn. When pushed, she pushes back and sometimes it’s not always for the best. She has put herself in dangerous positions for petty and childish reasons, but mostly because she was told that she can’t do something. She’ll do it to prove others wrong, even if it endangers her well-being. (Marrying Anakin could possibly fall into this category as well.)
