Physical Description: Leia is a petite, fair-skinned human female with brown eyes, and long brown hair that she often wears in an elaborate fashion.

Background:
Leia Organa had accomplished much at a young age: a leader in the Alliance to
Restore the Republic, a former member of the Imperial Senate, and a member of
the Royal Family of Alderaan. Yet despite her stature, for many years, Leia
herself was not privy to much of her true heritage.
It was common knowledge throughout
the court that Leia was adopted into the Royal Family. What wasn't common
knowledge was that Leia was born to Anakin Skywalker, a Jedi pupil who succumbed
to the dark side and became Darth Vader. She was one of a set of twins, born in
secrecy and protected from Vader and the Emperor. The Jedi hero and general,
Obi-Wan Kenobi, saw to it that Leia was secretly transported to the planet
Alderaan, where she was to be raised by Kenobi's friend Bail Organa. The boy,
Luke, was taken to the distant world of Tatooine.
Leia was raised in a life of
privilege, a stark contrast to her twin brother who grew up on the harsh desert
world of Tatooine. Despite this, Leia never grew soft or decadent. Her strong
personality and bright intellect molded her into an exceptional person, one that
Bail Organa loved and was very proud of. She avoided the vagaries of court
politics and intrigue, and instead concentrated on bettering herself and helping
others.
Leia had a happy childhood,
learning in the best institutes on Alderaan, and studying politics, history and
art. Leia's interest in art was one of her main reasons for joining the
Rebellion. Learning how the Empire controlled expression really cemented her
devotion to the Alliance's cause. Leia learned history from one of the greatest
professors in the galaxy, Arn Horada. She was taught self-defense and combat
skills from Giles Durane, the Weapons Master.
Leia followed in her adoptive
father's footsteps, and entered politics. She became the youngest senator ever
in the Imperial Senate, representing Alderaan. As a senator, Princess Leia ran a
number of "diplomatic aid mission
When the galaxy plunged into civil
war, Leia's diplomacy and martial skills served the Rebel Alliance. On a
diplomatic mission to Ralltiir, a world subjugated by the Empire, she discovered
a wounded Rebel with information stored in his brain through hypnotic imprint.
This Rebel had the news of the Death Star operation. Learning of the abominable
weapon, Leia discovered that there was no redeeming the Empire. What was to some
an ordered, structured government built on the ashes of a corrupt and
ineffective Republic was to Leia a vile villain to be destroyed. One of her
first open acts of Rebellion was simply self-defense -- Leia was attacked by
Imperial Lord Tion for her Rebel affiliations, and she was forced to take his
life.
Armed with the Death Star plans,
Leia was given a mission by her father to find one of the Republic's greatest
heroes and recruit him into the Alliance. En route to the planet Tatooine to
find General Obi-Wan Kenobi, Leia's ship was attacked by Imperial forces, and
she was taken prisoner by Lord Darth Vader. She barely had time to hide the
stolen plans into the memory systems of an R2 unit, and ordered it to find
Obi-Wan on Tatooine.
As a prisoner of Vader, Leia
underwent terrible torture aboard the Death Star. In addition to the mind
probes, the Imperials forced her to witness the destruction of her home planet
of Alderaan. Despite this, she refused to reveal the location of the hidden
Rebel base, or the whereabouts of the stolen plans. Shortly thereafter, Luke
Skywalker and Han Solo rescued her from the battle station and carried her and
the stolen plans to the Rebel base on Yavin's fourth moon. Due to Leia's
efforts, and the help of her companions, the Death Star was eventually
destroyed.
She continued to serve the
Alliance in diplomatic capacities. En route to a conference on Circarpous IV,
Luke and Leia crash-landed on the jungle planet Mimban. There, Leia was forced
to face Darth Vader during a quest for the legendary Kaiburr Crystal. Leia held
off the Dark Lord single-handedly with Luke's lightsaber before Skywalker was
able to defeat him. Vader was merely toying with her, scarring her continuously
with his deadly blade. Luke used the Kaiburr's healing power to mend
Leia's grievous wounds.
Leia attended an important
Conference of Uncommitted Worlds on the planet Kabal after the Battle of Yavin.
There, she recruited the Aquaris Freeholders to the Alliance. The Freeholders
proved very resourceful and valuable when the Alliance abandoned Yavin as their
base. During the Alliance relocation, Leia was able to access lost Organa
resources of money and capital on Ord Mantell greatly needed for the Rebel war
effort. Leia's efforts were also felt in the distant Minos Cluster, where she
helped unify Rebellion against the Empire.
Three years later, the Alliance
had set up a new base on the frozen world of Hoth. Princess Leia was one of the
commanding members of Echo Base. When the Imperials attacked Hoth, Leia took the
initiative, and acted in a number of command roles, ordering the evacuation of
the base. Leia's access to her own escape transport was cut off, but she managed
to escape in Han Solo's Millennium Falcon.
Evading Imperial pursuit, the
Falcon landed in an asteroid field so that its crew could repair the vessel. It
was during these quiet moments that Princess Leia Organa fell in love with Han
Solo. The two voiced their love on Cloud C
Although she and her friends
continued their search for Boba Fett, she still had Alliance missions to
undertake. In her devoted search for Solo, Leia found herself drawn into the
underworld of Black Sun, a vast criminal syndicate that permeated the entire
galaxy. There, she was almost seduced by Prince Xizor, the ruler of the
organization. His handsome features and irresistible pheromones nearly wooed
Leia to his side, but she overcame his temptation.
The Rebels eventually tracked down
Boba Fett as the bounty hunter delivered Han's carbon-frozen form to Jabba the
Hutt. Leia participated in Luke's plan to free the captured Solo from the
clutches of the vile gangster. She posed as Boushh, an Ubese bounty hunter and
infiltrated the palace, freeing Solo from his carbonite imprisonment. Her
identity was revealed, and for a time, she had to endure the humiliation of
being made one of Jabba's slaves. She repaid the gangster, however, by
strangling the Hutt with the very chain that bound her.
Leia rejoined Alliance High
Command in time to accompany General Han Solo's strike team
on the moon of Endor. Their mission was to destroy the shield generator
protecting the second Death Star. While on Endor, Leia became separated from the
strike team, and befriended an Ewok tribe. Her diplomatic skills aided in
convincing the Ewoks to help the Rebel force. It was shortly thereafter that
Luke revealed their true lineage to her. For a time, Luke and Leia kept their
true relation and their parentage a secret from all but their most trusted
friends.
During the ground battle at the
Imperial complex, Leia sustained a slight blaster wound. After the victory at
Endor, Leia continued to demonstrate some ability in the Force, being able to
sense her brother's presence.
After the Battle of Endor, Leia
went on a number of diplomatic missions on behalf of the newly founded Alliance
of Free Planets. Two years later, she has seen the Galaxy shape into a series of
factions, most of which seem keener into taking the whole Galaxy under their
command, rather than seek peaceful solutions. However, this has not diminished
her idealism of a better governmental system based on true democracy, much to
Mon Mothma’s vision. She still acts as a political leader for the Rebellion and
has taken a more active role into recruiting systems to join the Rebel cause and
dealing with political leaders and attachés. She has also received some training into becoming a Jedi. Though a long and hard path that Leia often finds less time for than she should, she has finally come to terms that her biological father was the man who later became Darth Vader, and has embraced what Luke has to teach.
Personality: Leia is a driven, dedicated individual. She has a forceful, some would say abrasive, personality. She is professional in all respects, but occasionally relaxes her guard to let her strong compassion and quirky sense of humour show.
Vehicle of Choice:
Tantive IV
Force Skills & Talents: Leia is a brilliant diplomat and negotiator. She enjoys the tactfulness needed inside the political rings, and has a firm grasp of how they work, and of how to deal with the different parties. She is also keen into history, which she considers more of a hobby.
Leia has only yet tapped into the Force, and her training has only rendered her able to feel certain presences, like that of her twin brother Luke. He has taught her to meditate and on how to extend her senses, but she has not yet mastered her concentration enough to wield a lightsaber.
Personal Items: Leia carries no personal items of significance.
