〈 CHARACTER INFO 〉
CHARACTER NAME: Padmé Amidala
CHARACTER AGE: 24
SERIES: Star Wars
CHRONOLOGY: Episode II: Attack of the Clones, after falling from the ship during the battle on Geonosis
CLASS: Hero, without a doubt
HOUSING: Individual housing in De Chima preferred
BACKGROUND: "I wasn't the youngest Queen ever elected. But now that I think back on it, I'm not sure I was old enough. I'm not sure I was ready."
PERSONALITY: Padmé is defined foremost by her compassion for others, belief in the power of democracy, and dedication to civil service. While there are of course nuances to her personal character, these are the pillars of who she is, and everything about her can be traced back to those pillars.
Her path to serving her people begins when she is just a child, devoting herself to public service by joining the Apprentice Legislators program at eight years old, and then the Legislative Youth Program at twelve. These programs and numerous volunteer and service projects illustrate her commitment, and she is elected as Queen of Naboo at the age of fourteen. Determined to sustain the peace her people have enjoyed for hundreds of years, and to making their lives better through her service and working closely with the planetary governor and various ministers on her advisory council, she refuses to bend her beliefs or compromise her moral code despite being so young, and she never hesitates to stand her ground on any matter. This remains true later when she is appointed Senator — even when her ship is attacked because of her opposition to a proposed act, she addresses the Senate less an hour later to prove that she will not bow to such pressure.
In her own mind, Padmé's safety is secondary to the well-being of others. Despite the fact that assassins are trying to kill her for her extremely vocal political agenda, she doesn't hesitate to leave the safety of Naboo to go with Anakin to Tatooine in search of his mother, nor does she allow the possibility of danger stop her from running off to help Obi-Wan on Geonosis. Not only does she care about the both of them, but she is completely unable to even fathom the possibility of sitting back and doing nothing when she could be of assistance — it's simply not in her nature.
Visiting Tatooine and meeting Anakin is an eyeopening experience that has a ripple effect in Padmé's life. It isn't her first time off-planet, but she had never been somewhere so far from the government she has such faith in. When she learns of Anakin's circumstances, she is appalled that slavery still exists in the galaxy, believing that the Republic would oppose such things, only to have her eyes opened to the fact that the Republic doesn't hold the far-reaching power she'd believed of it. She witnesses what can happen when corruption and crime rule instead of just law, and it strengthens her resolve to do whatever she can to protect others from that fate. Really, it is only when the Senate refuses to take action against the invasion of her planet, insisting on political runarounds rather than outright assistance, that her faith in democracy is truly shaken for the first time.
Idealistic to a fault, she is occasionally blinded by her need to see the good in everything. Her faith and unwavering trust in others masks whatever flaws they may have, such as when Anakin slaughters the Tusken Raiders and she merely comforts him after the act instead of seeing it for the sign of distress that it is. That trust and loyalty blinds her to any hints of Palpatine's true ambitions as well, despite having worked so closely with him over an entire decade. It is this belief in others that will ultimately be her downfall later in canon.

[ The woman who appears on the screen will be familiar to many, her dark eyes fixed on the camera to directly address whoever may receive the message. ]
Hello. My name is Padmé Amidala, though many of you may already know me.
[ She doesn't hesitate or show any signs of the nerves she's feeling, the worry she has over what this may do to the others here. They have a right to know. ]
I understand that this isn't my first time here, but I have no memory of my previous experiences here, and so I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to all who knew me before. I am truly sorry for the pain this may cause you, and would very much like to meet all of you again when you are ready.
