Was that [WILLA HOLLAND]? Oh no no, that was just [LEIA ORGANA], a [CANON CHARACTER] from [STAR WARS]. They are [TWENTY FIVE] years old, use [SHE/HER], and [ARE] aware that they are not actually from Washington DC. Too bad they can’t stray from this city for long.

how long has your character been here -

leia technically has been here for nearly seven years now. she’s been in dc since she was twenty three, and while for plotting sake i have her age on pages frozen at twenty five, she is almost thirty now.

what is your character’s job -

president of the united states leia organa at your service

where has your character been pulled from in their fandom -

leia is pulled a few months after the battle of endor and the end of the galactic civil war. she was specifically on her way to a meeting with mon mothma about the role she would be taking in the new republic when she entered hyperspace and woke up in dc. that’s the last thing she remembers from home.

has any magic affected your character -

multiple times, yes. when leia first arrived in dc, she was completely unaware of her life back in her galaxy. she had originally thought she grew up in a political family, her father being the senator from oregon, her mother being a state representative. in that time is when she and sheev grew to be close friends, and eventually running for office together while both unaware of the true reality behind their connection. during one of the first storms in dc, leia had gotten caught up in the magic which brought her memories of home back for the past few years. two summers ago however, for reason we’ll get into i promise, she went unaware again, was the absolute worst and regained her memories during the jumanji nightmare. so, while she is completely aware now, she was unaware for a few times on and off. you never know though, third time’s the charm, that might stick this time around

extra information -

we know the drill by now right? i’m going to write a novel for no reason and apologize for how long i will go on gushing about the space mom

background :

let me just start by prefacing this with i pull pretty much everything i know and write about leia from legends canon. i really don’t follow new canon at all. of course, for rp purposes we’ve meshed the two and i love the solo family and their four messy kids, but i do write leia solely from legends and the path that life took.

a woman of too many names and titles. born leia amidala skywalker, younger twin to luke skywalker, the only daughter of padme amidala and anakin skywalker, she and her brother were separated at birth following the death of their mother and the fall of their father. it was the safest option. they would be hidden away from vader and palaptine. they should have been safe that way.

adopted by the organa’s, leia became the crowned princess to the alderaan throne, thus being known as the princess leia organa of the royal house of alderaan. and while she always knew she was adopted, she never knew about the family that she had lost to the force. her parents, bail and breha organa did everything they could to keep leia safe from that. she had at first, not shown any signs of the force.

unfortunately she did reveal a skill in it around the time she was two, and was soon on the empire’s radar for the incident.

might have been a baby but hey, gotta start pissing the emperor off from a young age.

while she never knew her twin growing up, leia had grown up with her best friend, and adopted sister, winter celchu. the two could not have been more different and yet as thick as thieves. winter was the perfect example of refined and regal, it didn’t take long for people to mistake her for the princess of alderaan. where leia was often mistaken as “a domestic girl”. which leia didn’t mind really. she never wanted the pressure of being the princess, to have to go through all of the training that her aunts would push on her. (she appreciates it more than she could have ever imagined now)

honestly shout out to winter for literally everything. the girls used to switch places, winter going to plenty of events as leia so that leia could sneak out of the palace and “create mischief and visit inappropriate boys”. this is something the girls carried on their entire lives, and even now winter will cover for her as president at least once a week.

leia really was just a rebellious child and i apologize to bail and breha for the nightmare girl she was. she was kicked out of almost every single school on alderaan, one of them because she staged a protest for not giving the students fresh squeezed juice, at seven. and another because she broke into the school’s speaker system and changed the programming so that any mention of “emperor palpatine” was replaced with “emperor fuckface” and the empire’s anthem was replaced with the anthem of the old republic. she was like 13 at the time.

she was mostly homeschooled after that by tutors.

honestly i could go into everything leia did as a child because dear god she got in so much trouble she was a terror. like dropping a water balloon on tarkin’s head. truly read her legends wiki, it’s so funny.

proficient in far too many languages, it was her favorite thing to learn and one of the only tutors that held her attention. that and her self defense teacher, but that was to be expected.

either way, leia learned that she hated most of high society, the way they all thought they were better than everyone, the lavish parties while people suffered and she, along with her father’s hand in training her for this, had decided early on that she wanted to change the galaxy she lived in.

bail had trained leia for this. she was the youngest senator ever elected, at just eighteen when she was formally introduced to the galactic senate and palpatine himself.

she was only seventeen when her father started to bring her into the fold of the rebellion.

when her father stepped down from the senate, leia officially took his place and subsequently used her diplomatic immunity and cover for her ship to run secret missions for the rebellion. it began her first steps into her double life of senator and rebel.

this was around the time that mon mothma had taken leia under her wing and she grew even closer into the senate but also the inner workings of the rebellion. she was meant to fully take over the rebellion thanks to mothma’s teachings.

this is about when we get to the events of the original trilogy so !!

JUSTICE FOR ALDERAAN.

life in dc :

alright deep breath everyone.

first and foremost, let’s just talk about the solos. leia is a mother of four, grandmother to three, and aunt to one. and she loves each and every one of them with all her heart and soul. her kids are her life, her grandchildren hold all of her heart. truly is just a very family oriented person, despite her workaholic tendencies, she would do anything to keep her family safe.

she is married to han solo, having eloped right before the halloween gala of 2022. they had kept it rather quiet, and were going to announce it to the family later until SOMEONE had to go and get themselves skewered again..... smh.

she is kinda still the worst. i’m so sorry to any agent ahsoka assigns to her detail because leia is a runner. there are far too many times that ‘nebula’s disappeared’ is called over the radios. but listen she’s got her blaster and her own lightsaber now, it’s fine

she was in the process of training with the force. she knows she’d never really be a jedi, she didn’t ever want to be a part of the order like that. and while she was doing well, learning how to control the force within her, there was always a darkness in her. one that she couldn’t fight off forever. the actual use of the force is something that still scares her. it’s a fear that she only talks to luke about, the both of them having an understanding about the darkness that continues to call to them.

her anger takes over far too often, not thinking clearly when it does and it leave a perfect opening for manipulation. for her own fall. to make the mistakes of her father. and that terrifies her.

she wanted to be good, she wanted to be strong, but she just doesn’t think it can happen. her greatest fear is that she will fall to the dark side as vader had, that she won’t be able to fight it. and with each encounter with palpatine, she fears he’s making more and more progress on that.-- i wrote that like two years ago AND OH BOY DID WE FORESHADOW.

she’s fought with palpatine about four ?? times now, three of them discreetly, but another when she tried to kill him. a futile attempt that ended only with leia falling and her brother’s death only being mirrored instead of avenged. she wants to forget it ever happened but knows she can’t.

she doesn’t think she can ever really forgive her father for what he did. she knows, somewhere deep down, that one day she will find a time to forgive him, seeing as how one of her sons is named after him, but she still has nightmares about what vader did, about the days she spent locked in her cell on the death star. often she will close her eyes and clear as day feel vader’s hand on her shoulder, forcing her to watch as alderaan was destroyed. those days set her back.

right now, leia’s main goal is just keeping her kids safe. keeping luke and han safe. and trying to keep herself from falling. but she’s also made up her mind, that if any of her family is to deal with the dark side, leia will be the one to take that fall. she will let herself fall under palpatine if it ever came down to that or her family’s safety. - big fucking oof to that one lMAO

god there is probably more i could ramble about, like certain things that happened in the og trilogy or headcanons about her and the force or her and her family or her and her job. who knows. i will probably do some like head canon posts for more details about like her and jabba or her and what happened on the death star idk glkdfjg

BUT if you want to know what’s going on with sith vibes, here is the link to that update, since it’s where we’re at currently with leia !!

anyways once more sorry for the length but also as always, throw a middle finger into the sky for the space momby, carrie ♥

connections :

✩ secret service agents

a long standing connection i’ve had up on the main. truly anyone is free to apply for this, if you need a job, the agents are there for you!!

not all of them will work with leia directly, but she would definitely know all of their names, as she cares a lot of everyone who works for/under her.

just be warned, if you are on her personal detail, it’s probably meant to mess with you because leia is known for disappearing from her detail whenever she feels like it and getting into one mess after another

definitely be ready to have “nebula’s disappeared” be part of your daily vocabulary.

✩ white house employees

this can be anything from her cabinet members to a maid, truly anyone who works in the white house would definitely know her

leia doesn’t like to have this big separation between herself and the rest of her employees so feel free to have your characters work in the white house and be friendly with the president!

✩ people in politics

i mean of course she would know just about everyone in politics, but she definitely would have friends she would have business lunches with, go out for some drinks after a long day, all that jazz

✩ people outside of star wars

leia has been in the city for 4+ years as well, she would be pretty much all over, going to any and every fundraiser, doing speeches at schools, visiting different jobs etc

so she would realistically know a bunch of people from all over the city, both good and bad interactions, feel free to plot these out with me!!

✩ friends outside of politics

people she would know that she doesn’t have to talk shop with, someone who maybe she meets on one of her many adventures running away from her agents

just about anyone she can just be leia with

✩ opposing politicians

my love is very very liberal , she is not always going to rub people the right way with very progressive thoughts and actions. she’s the youngest president in history and that can be to her detriment sometimes. on top of all of that, there have been how many disasters under her administration within the city?

point is, she’s not always going to get along with everyone, and i would love to explore some people who are definitely against her re-election, people who oppose her that she has a very strained professional relationship with etc

just tension all around !!!

[astracollectio]

@alderaanihope ♥’d for winter !!! 

                                        “   YOU   SHOULD   BE   ON   BED   REST,       you’re far too small   &&   pregnant to be wandering around   ——   &&   with twins too   !!!   “

[lukeleiahan]

Who is Winter Organa? (only saw the movies, haven't seen the last one, if it's spoilers please say so so I can stop reading your posts about her). She sounds really interesting, but I don't recognise her? I love you blog, by the way!

Winter Organa (also known as Winter Retrac or Winter Celchu) is a Legends character who is as far as I know not canon anymore, so it wouldn’t be spoilers. She’s introduced in the Thrawn Trilogy.

Winter is the biological daughter of Sheltay Retrac and an unnamed artist. Sheltay was Bail Organa’s senatorial aide. When she and Winter’s father died while Winter was still young, the Organa’s took Winter in and raised her as Leia’s sister.

In Legends, Winter is known for her white hair, her regal bearing and her perfect memory, which helped her a great deal when she was spying for the Alliance, earning her the nickname “Targeter”.

She is often seen babysitting Leia and Han’s children, or doing spy stuff. Her and Leia are generally very close, even if they look and behave wildly different. Later, Winter marries Tycho Celchu, a member of the Rogue Squadron (the one that Luke and Wedge Antilles founded) and fellow Alderaanian.

(i don't want to hear it about bastilla rn let her just be happy mom for a second)

she is married to han solo, having eloped right before the halloween gala of 2022. they had kept it rather quiet, and were going to announce it to the family later until SOMEONE had to go and get themselves skewered again….. smh. and then the other half of this fell to the darkside in a full on dive but ya know lol

she is kinda still the worst. i’m so sorry to any agent ahsoka assigns to her detail because leia is a runner. there are far too many times that ‘nebula’s disappeared’ is called over the radios. but listen she’s got her blaster and her own lightsaber now, it’s fine

UPDATE FROM 12/12/23

god

welcome to maig's longest intro in the history of hidden and I JUST KEEP MAKING IT LONGER

anyways , here's a bastilla update :

leia went dark and tried to kill her family lol that's it :))))

not really jk but , like she's fine now?? things are fine??? she's fixing it. she's not a sith anymore, she died like twice over and it fixed her brain a little bit.

she had made a deal with sheev, and she a very poor grasp on the force to begin with so the moment it became more powerful, she sort of lost control over it

on top of that, most of the bastilla nightmare happened during the valentines day mini event where everyone was trying to kill people and they weren't themselves so, she really went above and beyond at that point and was struggling to control herself

she choked allana, stabbed jacen and killed kirei and yeah.. NOT GREAT but she's better now, she basically doesn't use the force at all. she won't even look at her lightsaber anymore. she is going to make it up to the family if its the last thing she does, she just wants to fucking fix this

for now, though, she is currently several months pregnant with solo #5 and is hoping that she can sort out the family drama before the baby comes

anyways once more sorry for the length but also as always, throw a middle finger into the sky for the space momby, carrie ♥

she is married to han solo, despite them living apart, she respects that han wants that space. being that intertwined with the presidency can’t be easy and she won’t ever force that on any of her family. they didn’t ask for that. 

she is kinda still the worst. i’m so sorry to any agent ahsoka assigns to her detail because leia is a runner. there are far too many times that ‘nebula’s disappeared’ is called over the radios. but listen she’s got her blaster it’s fine

currently trying to train to learn to control the force in her, but trust me it’s not going well. leia isn’t the worst with a saber, but the actual use of the force is something that still scares her. it’s a fear that she only talks to luke about, the both of them having an understanding about the darkness that continues to call to them. 

her anger takes over far too often, not thinking clearly when it does and it leave a perfect opening for manipulation. for her own fall. to make the mistakes of her father. and that terrifies her. 

she wants to be good, she wants to be a strong jedi, but she just doesn’t think it can happen. her greatest fear is that she will fall to the dark side as vader had, that she won’t be able to fight it. and with each encounter with palpatine, she fears he’s making more and more progress on that. 

she’s fought with palpatine about three times now, two of them discreetly, but another when she tried to kill him. a futile attempt that ended only with leia falling and her brother’s death only being mirrored instead of avenged. she wants to forget it ever happened but knows she can’t. 

she’s working on forgiving anakin, and is thinking that they’re making pretty decent progress. she’s started seeing him as anakin skywalker, and vader as a separate person completely. there’s still set backs, she still has nightmares about what vader did, about the days she spent locked in her cell on the death star. often she will close her eyes and clear as day feel vader’s hand on her shoulder, forcing her to watch as alderaan was destroyed. those days set her back. but she’s trying. 

right now, leia’s main goal is just keeping her kids safe. keeping luke and han safe. and trying to keep herself from falling. but she’s also made up her mind, that if any of her family is to deal with the dark side, leia will be the one to take that fall. she will let herself fall under palpatine if it ever came down to that or her family’s safety. 

god there is probably more i could ramble about, like certain things that happened in the og trilogy or headcanons about her and the force or her and her family or her and her job. who knows. i will probably do some like head canon posts for more details about like her and jabba or her and what happened on the death star idk glkdfjg

anyways once more sorry for the length but also as always, throw a middle finger into the sky for the space momby, carrie ♥
