✫ Padmé Naberrie having private moment with Anakin Skywalker
Dennis Basso, Resort 2016

What if… rather than becoming queen after serving as Princess of Theed, Padmé Naberrie volunteered for the Royal Naboo Security Forces. Becoming one of Queen Rigantona’s handmaidens after impressing Captain Quarsh Panaka with her keen mind, strong will, sharp shot with a blaster and persuasive negotiating skills. But the Blockade of Naboo still happened and the Queen, her handmaidens and staff were able to escape the Trade Federation during Fall of Theed because of the Jedi even if they were still forced to land on Tatooine due damaged hyper drive. As Queen Rigantona did not completely trust the Jedi, she ordered Padmé to accompany Qui-Gon Jinn and report his actions to her, it was here she unknowingly met her future husband in the form of young slave boy by the name of Anakin Skywalker through whom’s actions they were able to obtain a new hyper drive. For next few weeks she would take care of the boy as she promised his mother Shmi and thus got know Anakin quite well.

After the victory over the Trade Federation, Padmé would continue to serve the queen as handmaiden for rest of the monarch’s term as well as a second term after Queen Rigantona was reelected. After this Padmé decided the time was ripe to go into business for herself and began working as mercenary for hire, often function as an respective client’s bodyguard, negotiator, bounty hunter and/or spy depending on the job. She however kept into contact with her fellow handmaidens and former queen, the latter being now known as Senator Eirtaé Rigantona who reached out to Padmé for help during the vote on the Military Creation Act. Which would bring her into contact with Anakin Skywalker again…

Padmé’s apartment in CoCo Town was one of Anakin’s favorite, for it was for the lack of a better word more homey then most of her many (safe)houses.

“You are wearing a rather a Nabooan coat.“

Padmé studied him for moment before sighing. “I might be woman of the world, Ani… but I’ve never forgotten my roots.”

Anakin could understand that, as he rain his flesh hand over one of the tapestry that decorated the living room. It was one of the few objects in the house that belonged to him rather then his love. Something he had came across it on a market in the lower levels and secretly bought it. The merchant had never realized it was, how it was supposed to bring good luck to house it hanged in as well as it’s occupants or that the wall hanging was of Tatooinian origin. Woven from dyed bantha fur and herbs leather and decorated with sand symbols. He could never hang the tapestry in his quarters at the Jedi Temple, but here at Padmé’s he could remember and stay true his origins.
