Padmé and Rey: Story

Padmé Amidala Naberrie Gender: Female Height: 5'5 Appearance: Slender body, medium fair skin. Dark brown eyes, long dark brown hair, and fair lips. Personality: Amidala was compassionate to other people and stood her ground firmly for what she believed in. Amidala was a very persuasive and empathetic speaker during her time as a senator, especially when she opposed the escalation of the Clone Wars. She even started to doubt the Republic when the Senate gave Palpatine more executive powers near the end of the Clone Wars. Amidala could no longer ignore the needs of her people and accepted Queen Réillata's offer to become senator after two terms as queen. Due to her reputation as a beloved former monarch, Amidala kept several privileges such as her wardrobe and chrome-plated ships when she became a senator. For her wisdom, bravery, and compassion, she was admired by her supporters. While she preferred to solve situations through diplomacy, she was not afraid to lead her allies into battle if needed. Amidala was both responsible and strong-willed and did what she believed to be the right course of action despite objections from those closest to her. She spoke her mind to the Senate and was able to convince the Gungans to unite against the Trade Federation. Obi-Wan Kenobi described her as fearless and stubborn, and a leader. He also noted that Amidala was wise, discerning and kindhearted, and that her daughter Leia had inherited these qualities from her. Amidala could be seen as fearless when she refused additional security to protect herself from assassins. She also did not like the idea of leaving during the vote on the Military Creation Act. When Skywalker came back into her life, Amidala knew that their future together would endanger their lives. However, she gave in and married Skywalker in secret. Amidala's experiences during the Invasion of Naboo left her with a hate of Neimoidians, but she also admitted it was wrong of her to harbor a grudge against the entire species for the actions of the Trade Federation. As such, she admitted to Sabé that she hated her prejudice as well. During the Clone Wars, she worked to better herself and overcome her prejudice. Always at the center of the galaxy, Amidala was a determined and brave survivor. As recognized by Ahsoka Tano, Amidala was always thinking like a politician, focusing on gathering information and using her strengths to her advantage. Watching with her own eyes as people died to the Clone Wars, Amidala was horrified at the great losses the Republic sustained in both lives and to its very democracy. Amidala saw the Clone Wars as a conflict fought for the Republic's democracy, to re-establish peace, and to protect the Republic's people from suffering, only for her to come to question if the Republic that was emerging from the conflict would have such traits. Despite her distrust of Dooku, Amidala did believe in peaceful co-existence with the Separatist state. She worked against increased military spending and prolonging the conflict. Indeed, she believed that an increase in clone troopers would only escalate the destruction instead of ending it. However, she held nothing against the clones themselves, whose brave service and sacrifices she honored. She supported the bravery of non-clone soldiers who fought for the Republic as well. Hoping that at the very least their sacrifice would bring the galaxy closer to peace, she believed that clones who died were people who had sadly been forced to waste their lives for a government that did not even guarantee their personhood. By the end of the war, she had drafted several bills in favor of clone personhood for both during and after the war, only for those works to be left abandoned after her death. Likes: Diplomacy + Democracy + Nubian chocolate. Dislikes: Violence + Conflict + Chaos. Skills: A master of diplomacy, with a keen observation and passionate voice for freedom. She is also trained in ranged combat. Weapon: Always carries a small, sleek blaster at her side. Rey Gender: Female Height: 5'7 Weight: 54 Kilograms Appearance: Tall and slim, with fair skin and pink lips. Hazel eyes, dark brown tied back in three buns. Personality: The harsh realities of such a world could have easily made a person cynical or guarded against sympathy and weaknesses, but not Rey. Despite eking out a meager existence in the scorching heat of the Western Reaches planet, Rey possessed a heart full of generosity and a willingness to help other people in need. It was this willingness that led her to not only help BB-8 be free of Teedo's interference and Plutt's attempts to acquire the droid but also led her to help BB-8 in its mission to return the star map it carried to the Resistance. Though she never wanted to leave Jakku for fear that she would not be there when her family returned for her. She had a stubborn, private, and self-reliant side, distrustful of fellow scavengers Devi and Strunk when they offered her help in repairing the Ghtroc 690 freighter she'd found. It was difficult to change her mind once she'd made a decision. She had a tendency to try to do things alone, both out of a desire to protect her friends and her stubborn nature. Still, her friends were incredibly important to her; she considered them her newfound family. Though her journey to Ahch-To ended in disappointment for Rey, she refused to give up hope—a trait which led Snoke to consider her a true Jedi in spirit, and precisely why he needed her to die. For years, Rey's imagination took her mind to other worlds, including those with lush green forests and beauty that she could never even dream of. The adventure she found while helping BB-8 and Finn brought her to one such world in the form of Takodana, where she began to realize that her destiny was not in the junkfields of a remote desert planet. Her encounter with Maz Kanata profoundly impacted how she saw herself and what she was capable of, and Rey began to see that she was part of a larger galactic fight—and that the power of the Force was with her. Her recognition of these abilities and her destiny coincided with turbulence in the Cosmic Force, which for years had remained dormant, and ultimately led her to find Skywalker. The years that she spent on Jakku also proved useful when faced with Skywalker's obstinacy; having learned the value of patience, Rey remained on Ahch-To despite the old Jedi Master's refusal of her entreaty, determined to wear him down. When she found Skywalker short on answers, Rey improvised on her own, which was what she did best. For years, Rey remained optimistic and hopeful that her parents would return for her, wearing the same hairstyle and style of clothing that she had when they'd left her in the hopes that they'd recognize her when they came back. The question of who they were haunted her while on Ahch-To, and was left with feelings of disappointment and even greater loneliness when she found no answers. She was distraught when Kylo Ren led her to believe that her parents had been mere junk traders who sold their daughter for drinking money. The truth that she was Palpatine's granddaughter, however, had an even greater effect on her. She began to believe that, as a Palpatine, she was innately evil, and attempted to isolate herself on Ahch-To as Skywalker had, for the good of the galaxy. It was only with encouragement from Skywalker, who admitted he'd been wrong, that Rey overcame this fear and joined the final battle against the First Order on Exegol. Later, after the battle was won, Rey renounced her biological heritage, choosing her new family as she renamed herself Rey Skywalker. Likes: The stars + Adventure + Discovery + Her independence. Dislikes: Being alone + Feeling isolated + Feeling worthless + Scum. Skills: Rey honed her skills as a scavenger in the junkfields of Jakku, a planet on which every day was a struggle to survive against harsh sunlight, searing hot deserts, and cutthroat scavengers and thieves who would steal from anyone. This bleak reality, in which she nonetheless remained ever-hopeful, saw Rey develop a tenacity and instinct for survival. Her skills as a scavenger saw her earn the respect of junk traders like Plutt, who ensured that his thugs did not steal from her—unless her skills got in the way of his business. The need to survive against such beings, and the ability to traverse downed star cruisers and other war technology, necessitated that she remain in peak physical condition. Her interactions with offworlders also allowed her to learn languages from other worlds, such as the Wookiee language of Shyriiwook, Teedospeak, Ewokese, and the binary language of droids. She also had a certain talent for drawing, which she put to good use in her journal. In her time on Jakku, Rey learned the ins-and-outs of being a mechanic, and she was gifted with a seemingly innate understanding of how machinery worked. This left her comfortable around vehicles and weapons, including the AT-AT she called home; she kept the weatherproofing of the downed transport intact to protect against the climate, and she set traps around it so scavengers could not steal from her. She built her own speeder and salvaged an old computer that ran simulations flying a variety of different ships. She became a skilled pilot by constantly practicing these simulations, despite never wanting to leave Jakku. Powers: Rey is unnatural strong in the Force, her latent abilities just needing to be unlocked. Weapon: She developed skills as a warrior, with the ability to expertly wield a quarterstaff against those who would threaten her. Her most recent weapon is a single yellow lightsaber with a rotating activation switch. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Rey_Skywalker
