LiveJournal Trading Cards Paid Account Edition naboosenator User Number: 10469692 Date Created:16/06/06 Number of Posts: 100 I was born on Naboo near the capital city of Theed. At age eight I joined the Refugee Relief Movement and voyaged to various planets helping to relocate or help the residents. I moved up to the Apprentice Legislators, which on Naboo is essentially like making a public statement that you're entering politics. I was elected Queen of Naboo at age fourteen and I successfully repelled the Trade Federation blockade. I was then hoping to focus on my personal life, but Queen Jamillia asked me to serve as Senator for Naboo. I couldn't refuse her. Unfortunately, with the Republic's fall and subsequent transformation into the Galactic Empire, my death had to be faked to protect my safety and that of my baby twins, Luke and Leia. Leia and I now live in seclusion on Naboo with Obi-Wan Kenobi as our bodyguard. Luke was sent to live on a moisture farm in the Outer Rim. I miss him terribly. Strengths: friendly, tenacious, persistent, happy-go-lucky, strong, pretty, responsible, duty-oriented, active, flexible Weaknesses: impatient, excitable, suspicious, mercenary, denies plausible security threats, too independent Special Skills: negotiation, diplomacy, able to comprehend difficult situations, legislation, rescue, aggressive negotiations Weapons: sarcasm, various blasters, getting Anakin/Obi-Wan to slice people up for me Secrets I Have: Anakin Skywalker and I fell in love and married shortly before the start of the Clone Wars. Near their end, I got pregnant and delivered twins. I desperately wanted children even as a teenager. I disliked Chancellor Palpatine while in office, and dislike him even more now he's Emperor. In my ideal daydream, I have a daughter named Leia and I am raising her in the Lake Country on Naboo. We swim in the lake every single day and we have so much fun together. I wish this had actually happened, and that Anakin could be with me.

While Anakin was protecting me from an assassination attempt, we fell in love and he asked me to marry him. I happily agreed; I'd been attracted to him for quite some time. This is one of our engagement pictures, taken on the balcony at my Varykino lodge where we first kissed.




A week after he proposed, we got married in a secret ceremony on that same balcony.



Then, three years after our marriage, near the end of the Clone Wars, I became pregnant with our twins!




Eight months later, I delivered Luke Anakin Amidala-Skywalker and Leia Jobal Amidala-Skywalker. I love them to bits, they are my cuddle-bunnies! Even though I don't see Luke very often -- he was sent to live on a moisture farm in the Outer Rim to protect his identity and safety. My babies are now four months old and doing wonderfully.


I decided to sign up for a journal when I received a message from this galaxy on my datapad promoting LiveJournal, and how much fun it is to record your thoughts and feelings in such a medium. Other members of the Republic were sent the same message, and some began journals, but to my knowledge no one has journaled for as long as I have. Most gave it up within a few weeks. But I feel it's important to have a record of your life so that future generations can know what truly happened, from their ancestor's point of view. This has become especially important to me since I discovered my first pregnancy. Now I know for sure that my children, at least, will benefit from reading my journal. From a true account of what happened to one woman during these troubling times.

I've been dedicated to duty most of my life, and it's only now that I'm beginning to realize that there is much more to life than one's career and work. Being the wife of such a free and open spirit as Anakin helped greatly. I consider myself a gentle, meticulous, organized and yet fun-loving person who believes she has something real and tangible to contribute to the galaxy.

I abhor war. Let's face it, there are better ways to work things out. War is guns and violence and killing, none of which are necessary under most circumstances. If people would just stop and think about what they're doing, and the innocent lifeforms and people being harmed by their war, more diplomatic solutions might be found. I am working as hard as I can to educate everyone about this fact, but so often my pleas fall on deaf ears. I wish it didn't have to be that way.

Other things I wish didn't have to be as they are? The Empire, for starters. It caused my husband to become an agent of evil, and to be killed by my best friend. Anakin nearly choked me to death when I went to confront him about it. It was the perfect example of what happens when too much power is concentrated in too few people. Of course, a few months afterwards I can look objectively back on this. I was a wreck at the time, both physically and emotionally. Thank goodness Obi-Wan Kenobi was there to care for me and help me through the grieving process. I owe him everything.

And, well, yes, we've fallen in love. He says he was in love with me way beforehand, even before Ani and I married, but he adhered to the Jedi Code and didn't make any advances ... except occasionally in private. When we arrived here on Naboo, the cat came out of the bag for real. And I started to love him back. From a recent journal post:

I love Obi-Wan because I see so much of Ani's personality and characteristics in him. And yet, I love him because he's different from Anakin. He's more gentle, more considerate. A lot less whiny (I'm ashamed to say). He treats me like gold. He never questions that I trust him. When we make love he is a kind and loving partner. And if I don't feel like making love that particular night -- which has been the case more and more lately; I can only assume it's pregnancy hormones hard at work -- he is understanding. He's happy to just sit and talk. I often got the feeling Anakin wasn't.

We soon got intimate with one another, and I conceived a child. However, while returning from a visit to Luke on Tatooine, we were intercepted by the Empire and they took me hostage. I was forced to endure repeated assaults and tortures which I am not prepared to talk about here. It was during this time that I delivered our child early, much too early. He was a tiny boy, whom we named Patrick after my grandfather. We still grieve for him every day.

But life goes on. Obi-Wan and I both have a lot of emotional problems, mostly caused by Anakin and his sudden departure from our lives. Obi-Wan is also very attached to me. I guess once you're given an opportunity to be close to the person you love so much it makes you very protective and fearful for them.



We recently got married at my lodge (the picture above is what I wore that day), where we're now living together with Leia. At about the same time I discovered I'm pregnant. Yes, it's a bit soon, no, it wasn't planned, and YES, it came as a definite shock. But we're prepared to cope. I feel I've already bonded with the new little person inside me, and I believe that although s/he was unplanned, s/he IS NOT unwanted. I love the baby. So does Obi-Wan. Period.



What will you find in my journal? My daily thoughts. Descriptions of what I did. Rants about issues I feel are important. Memes, when I'm feeling bored or lazy. Pictures of Anakin, Obi-Wan and I. Rants about the various symptoms of pregnancy I happen to be experiencing at the moment. Pictures of my children. Gushings about how wonderful it is to be pregnant (if the nasty stuff ever clears up, which I'm sometimes given to doubt). Small encouragements to my friends, when required. Please feel free to friend me if you are interested in any of the above, or want to get to know me better.

I hope you all enjoy my journal, I will try to be as honest and true as I can. I'm so excited to be able to share my thoughts with you.




Notes & Disclaimers, aka "The Fine Print"

This journal is meant to take place right at the beginning of Attack of the Clones and proceed from there. It has been created and is written by senatorsfan, a humble Star Wars fanatic, as a further expression of her fandom and is not affiliated with or approved by Lucasfilm or any other entity connected to the Star Wars franchise. I do not profit from this blog; in fact, this being a paid account I actually spend some of my money every six months to maintain it. Please don't sue me; I'm a university student and have zero money!

I reserve the right to tinker with timelines/storylines as I see fit. For instance, even though the stated time lapse between Episodes II and III is three years, it will not be observed in this journal and may take anywhere from two months to two days, depending on my whims and how quickly I want to transition between these periods. Normal biological timelines (i.e. those having to do with pregnancy) will, however, be mostly observed.

I also reserve the right to tinker with canon. A certain amount of it (read: Anakin and Padmé) will be left alone, but what happens after Anakin becomes Darth Vader is anyone's guess. You have been warned!

EXPLICIT CONTENT WILL BE FRIENDS-LOCKED. And there is definitely some explicit content in here. If you stumble across this journal and want to have access to said content, friend the journal and contact me. If I can tell you're under sixteen (and I will mostly likely find out at some point), access denied.

To any community mods/members who come here wondering why a fictional character has joined their community: please don't be alarmed. I mean no harm and I don't wish to cause trouble for anyone. I just think it's fun to have this character involved in communities that apply to her life, whether they are meme communities, Star Wars communities, pregnancy communities or whatever. If you thinks this is stupid, or frivolous, or that I'm taking up valuable space, fine. You are entitled to your opinion. But know that I don't post, I don't ever make fun of other members, and I don't troll. Which is more than can be said for a lot of members. If you want her to leave, please drop me a line and I'll see to it that she does. Otherwise, rest assured that I'm not going to make any mischief. Just allow me to be there and comment occasionally.
