Padme Skywalker

Padmé Amidala Naberrie Skywalker was a human female senator who represented the people of Naboo during the final years of the Galactic Republic. Prior to her career in the Galactic Senate, Amidala was the elected ruler of the Royal House of Naboo. A political idealist, she advocated for the preservation of democracy as well as a peaceful resolution to the Clone Wars. However, her secret marriage to the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker would have a lasting effect on the future of the galaxy for decades to come.
Born in 1931 during the Age of the Republic, Padmé Naberrie was raised by her parents, Ruwee Naberrie and his wife Jobal, on the peaceful Mid Rim world of Naboo. Despite the humble background of the Naberrie family, Padmé was identified early for her potential in public service. Devoting her life to civic duty, she was elected queen and, therefore, adopted the regnal name "Amidala" in 1945. Due to the machinations of her advisor, Senator Sheev Palpatine, Amidala's reign was put to the test by the Trade Federation's blockade and subsequent invasion of Naboo. Unable to fight the Federation's army of battle droids without assistance, the queen beseeched the Galactic Senate on Coruscant for help, only to see her efforts hampered by bureaucracy and procedure. Although she ultimately liberated her homeworld with the help of the Jedi Order and the Gungan Grand Army, her decision to cast a Vote of No Confidence against Finis Valorum enabled Palpatine to become the Supreme Chancellor.
Following her reign, Amidala joined the Senate and struggled to resolve the Separatist Crisis through diplomacy, becoming a leading voice in the Loyalist Committee by 1955. After surviving an assassination attempt planned by the Trade Federation, she was removed from the capital and sent back to Naboo under the protection of Padawan Anakin Skywalker. Though the Jedi Code forbade personal relationships, deeming attachment, and possession unbecoming of a Jedi, the two gradually became closer as their feelings for each other grew. In the aftermath of the First Battle of Geonosis, Amidala secretly married her Jedi protector, despite her own reservations about their relationship and the consequences they would face if the truth ever came to light. Their subsequent interactions were limited throughout the Clone Wars, with Amidala continuing to advocate peaceful solutions in the Senate while Skywalker served on the front lines as a Jedi General in the Grand Army of the Republic. In the waning months of the pan-galactic conflict, Amidala revealed to her husband that she was pregnant. As a result of Skywalker's fear of loss, he was seduced by the dark side of the Force, believing that by becoming a Sith Lord he would gain the power to prevent his wife from dying in childbirth. Amidala, who learned of her husband's transformation into a Sith, ultimately died of a broken heart after giving birth to the twins Luke Skywalker and Leia Amidala Skywalker. With her dying breath, she insisted that there was still good in the former Anakin Skywalker, who embraced the persona of Darth Vader throughout the reign of the Galactic Empire.
Amidala's children played a major role in the fragmentation of the Empire and the redemption of her husband. Leia was raised on the planet Alderaan as the adopted daughter of Senator Bail Organa who had been another one of Padme's close friends ad his wife Breha Organa. Like Padme, Leia entered public service and became a flag-bearer for the democratic ideals of liberty and justice as a leader in the Alliance to Restore the Republic and its successor, the New Republic where she eventually replaced Padme's friend and former Senate colleague Mon Mothma as Chief of State. Luke, on the other hand, was raised on Tatooine by his paternal aunt and uncle before being trained in the ways of the Jedi like his father before him and was a celebrated war hero of the Rebel Alliance. Through Luke's efforts to redeem his father back to the light, Amidala's last words proved true when Anakin killed the Emperor during the Battle of Endor. Luke would go on to establish the New Jedi Order. Padme would eventually become a posthumous grandmother with Leia having three children and Luke becoming a father to one child of his own.
== Resurrection ==
In 2013, Padme was resurrected by The Force along with Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi in response to Darth Sidious upsetting the balance of The Force years prior by murdering Jedi Master Bryan Khayman. While Anakin and Obi-Wan picked up where Khayman left off in forming the Jedi Order of Earth, Padme went to work in the political arm of the Remnant that had been formed out of the Empire working alongside then-President James Rommel, his wife Kate Rommel, Secretary of State Wanda Houston and Secretary of Defense Michael Myers. She reclaimed the title of "Senator" and represented both the Remnant and Jedi Order of Earth as they navigated the tangled web of politics on the Earth. During this time, she and Anakin would publicly renew their wedding vows to each other and settle in New York City. Over the years, Padme's duties would expand to include doing "Damage Control" for Myers and Colonel Richie Terrik among others.
In 2016, The Rommels were killed in an attack by elements of the military that would eventually organize themselves into the First Order. As Wanda Houston took over the Presidency, Padme found herself doing many of Houston's jobs along with her own. During this time, she became pregnant with a baby girl who was later named Rachael Skywalker and welcomed her granddaughter Jaina Solo to Earth. Following the events of Operation Lothal Freedom, she welcomed the oldest of her three grandsons and Jaina's twin brother Jacen Solo to the planet.
Padme and Anakin hosted a yearly Christmas dinner of catered for the two and Obi-Wan, later extending it to include Remnant Grand Admiral Firmus Piett, Piett's grandson Mitchell Piett, Galen Marek, Erica Rex, and the Solo Twins during which Padme was often informed of things that she didn't really need to know such as Michael Myers having a basement full of Remnant Security Bureau files on various officials in the United States Government among other things.
