#star wars: queen’s peril

[skywalkr-nberrie]

I was rereading some chapters of Queen’s Peril, and I just love how the book talks about how as a kid Padmé use to travel off world with her dad, Ruwee, to other planets and doing public service, like food distribution, relocating citizens, etc. Padmé even suggested to her family that they grow a kitchen garden in their backyard, and save the crop (vegetables, fruits) they grow and donate it to starving families, on world and off world.

I also just love how the story parallels Anakin and Padmé in the narrative, in the sense that they both come from modest origins, and humble beginnings, (Of course, Padmé’s dad is well endorsed in relief movements and public service, but the Naberries still aren’t noblemen.) but are destined to become prodigies whom were both identified as gifted and brilliant young people at an early age. Also they’re strong sense of justice, with Padmé wanting to aid anyone in need, and Anakin vowing to leave Tatooine someday and free the slaves. It’s giving ✨ “made for one another” and “soulmatism” ✨

“You overthrew the chancellor," Sabe said. “I wish you had seen it." Padme sounded sad. “So many people from all over the galaxy, and all they could do was squabble. I told them that our people were suffering, and they would have made us wait until some committee flew out to the Chommell sector and checked. They were more concerned with voting along the lines of their alliance than they were with listening to problems and trying to find solutions. It was a mess, and Chancellor Valorum did nothing. Nothing.” —Queen's Peril (E.K. Johnston)

PIA (NABOO HANDMAIDEN) | page 36 | Artist: Anthony J. Ryder Star Wars: Visions by George Lucas (Author) & J. W. Rinzler (Introduction)

A repost of my Padmé poem. About her life growing up in the public eye, learning how to disguise herself amongst her handmaidens. How the secrecy of her relationship with Anakin drew her to him, and she let her guard down, only for the appeal of that secrecy to slowly turn into an element of horror. Her funeral. How naboo watched her even in the end.

Headcanon that Sabé does not enjoy music, instead preferring silence or the voices of the people she loves.

This of course, stems from the fact that she grew up in a house full of older brothers who were musicians. Since birth she heard nothing but the clamouring sounds of so many different instruments at once.

She only chose to study music because of her family. What else was there going for her? Sure, she could pluck a decent tune on a seven-string hallikset. But merely decent wasn't good enough for her family.

Her parents weren't disappointed in her exactly, but her accomplishments meant nothing compared to her more talented brothers. Tsabin watched them rise to fame, and thus spent her entire childhood in their shadow.

And perhaps that is the root of her insecurities. From such a young age, she became accustomed to being "second-best". Passable. Never in the spotlight, living comfortably behind. Her real name unknown to the galaxy.

It was with relative ease that she was able to quickly adjust to her new role as the Queen's Shadow.

Queen's Peril

Alone for one last precious moment, Padme drifted over to the window in the corridor. The guards gave her space to think. Face solemn, she looked out over the city, committing the architecture to memory even as the droid army marred it, and making silent promises she wasn't entirely sure she could keep.

He activated both sides of his lightsaber and swung it around, getting used to the feel of the blades this close to the walls. It would be tight quarters. He would be able to bring all his physicality to bear. His master disapproved of so much punching and kicking in his fighting style, but there was nothing better than the feel of bone fracturing under his touch. A lightsaber was nice, but there was something to be said for working with his hands.

Girls in Star Wars canonically take suppressants for their periods
