Leia Skywalker
Leia Skywalker (a.k.a. Princess or General)
Currently about thirty years old, dark brown hair and eyes, amazingly strong in the Force. With her dad and brother around, when I first learned to be able to sense the movement of the Force, I thought the twins were the baseline and I must be more than half-dead, or maybe psychically stunted somehow. She was more likely than Luke to ask for teachers on particular subjects.
Jedi Knight Leia Skywalker is actually better with a blaster than she is with a lightsaber; I think, in all the times I’ve ever seen her fire, she’s missed twice. Maybe three times, but that middle time she was trying to learn “suppression fire” and having a hard time with the idea that your goal is to shoot OVER the opponent. Says her mom taught her to shoot when she was about three.
When they were kids, based somehow on Lady Skywalker’s past career as a queen, Leia got the nickname “Princess”. I think her parents still call her that occasionally, but I’m not sure twin brother Luke dares any more. Certainly the rest of us are learning to say “General” instead!
